将来自mysql行的数据显示为php中的列

Question

I have a question that I've been struggling with for hours! I'm trying to create a website to display results from a charity scavenger hunt.

I have a table in a mysql database containing my data; the first column contains the name of each person and each subsequent column shows how many of each object they've collected (I've included a pic to explain better anyway).

Table 1:

I'm trying to use PHP to display this data in a table but I can only represent it the way I've posted in the first picture. I'd like to select a single person's data and display it in a vertical table with two columns, the left column showing the name of each object and the right column showing how many object they've collected (I've put a pic of this in too).

Table 2:

This has been driving me mad for hours so any help would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Basically, as long as you know the name = Fred you do this:

select * from your_table where name = 'Fred'

Then loop through the single result set displaying each of the items.

You'd best show some more code, how you are connecting to the db and so on

Answer 2

I can't get to imgur from work but you'd want to do something like this:

(assuming you bound your results to these variables, of course)

echo "<table>"
while($resultsFromQuery->fetch()){
echo "<tr><td colspan=2>".$name."</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td>item 1</td><td>".$item1."</td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td>item 2</td><td>".$item2."</td></tr>";
...
echo "<tr><td>item n</td><td>".$itemn."</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>

Answer 3

I am making assumptions, and please remember to always take a backup of your database before trying new code. Speaking from experience.

If you are using PHP and MySQLi, try the following, if you would like to show a table with all of them, you have that code down, I am assuming you are going to a different page to show the single table fora person.

Here is what I would do, when you click on a name, have it go to a page like person.php?person=Fred

here is the code I would use for that page:

//Your DB connection details go here.
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE name = '$_GET[person]'";
$sql_con = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
$data = mysqli_fetch_array($sql_con);
echo '<h2>Data for '.$data['name'].'</h2><br />';
echo '<table><tr><th>Items</th><th>Count</th></tr><tr>'; // SET UP YOUR TABLE
echo '<td>Item 1</td><td>'.$data['item1'].'</td></tr><tr>';
echo '<td>Item 2</td><td>'.$data['item2'].'</td></tr>'; // CONTINUE FOR EVERY ITEM YOU HAVE
echo '</table>';

That should do it, if that is not what you were looking for, let me know.
