I am trying to build a comparison table using mysql query and php.
I would like the result to be displayed in a columns, like this:
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="151" scope="col">product</td>
<td width="89" scope="col">product1</td>
<td width="78" scope="col">product2</td>
<td width="77" scope="col">product3</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>type</td>
<td>type2</td>
<td>type3</td>
<td>type5</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>size</td>
<td>size2</td>
<td>size1</td>
<td>size4</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>price</td>
<td>4.99</td>
<td>3.99</td>
<td>3.59</td>
</tr>
</table>
but I can only get the table to show the results - not a row title too (ie I want the first column to show 'product', 'type', 'size', 'price'.
The code I have so far is
<?php
// query the database
$result = mysql_query($query_getproducts);
// cols we are interested in (from the SQL query)
$cols = array(
'product',
'type',
'size',
'price',
);
// initialize rotated result using cols
$rotated = array();
foreach($cols as $col) {
$rotated[$col] = array();
}
// fill rotated array
while(($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) !== false) {
foreach($cols as $col) {
$rotated[$col][] = $row[$col];
}
}
// echo html
echo "<table border=1 width=473>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "</tr>";
foreach($rotated as $col => $values) {
echo "<tr>";
foreach($values as $value) {
echo "<td> " . htmlentities($value) . "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
hope someone can help.
First of all mysql_* functions are deprecated. You should use PDO or Mysqli.
If you want table headers static ie you want to show table header as "Product,Type,Size, Price" Then use
<tr>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Type</th>
<th>Size</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>
Then if your should use mysql_fetch_assoc which returns associative array with column name as there key. You can use that array and print the result using loop. eg:
<?php
$rs=mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($rs) ){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row['keyname']?></td>
.....
.....
</tr>
<?php
}
?>
try like this ,
echo "<table border=1 width=473>";
echo " <tr>
<th>Product Name</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Product Size</th>
<th>Price</th>
</tr>";
foreach($rotated as $col => $values) {
echo "<tr>";
foreach($values as $value) {
echo "<td> " . htmlentities($value) . "</td>";
}
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
