I can't put a table around my results from my code and need some help as I've tried but it comes back with "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\search_go.php on line 27". So could I get help with how to insert a table?
<?php
//capture search term and remove spaces at its both ends if the is any
$searchTerm = trim($_GET['keyname']);
//check whether the name parsed is empty
if($searchTerm == "")
{
echo "Enter name you are searching for.";
exit();
}
//database connection info
$host = "localhost"; //server
$db = "calendar"; //database name
$user = "root"; //dabases user name
$pwd = ""; //password
//connecting to server and creating link to database
$link = mysqli_connect($host, $user, $pwd, $db);
//MYSQL search statement
$query = "SELECT * FROM caltbl WHERE evtDate LIKE '%$searchTerm%'";
$results = mysqli_query($link, $query);
<table>
/* check whether there were matching records in the table
by counting the number of results returned */
if(mysqli_num_rows($results) >= 1)
{
$output = "";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results))
{
<tr>
$output .= "date: " . $row['evtDate'] . "<br />";
$output .= "Name: " . $row['patient'] . "<br />";
$output .= "Course: " . $row['patientId'] . "<br />";
}
echo $output;
}
else
echo "There was no matching record for the name " . $searchTerm;
?>
You can't just insert a HTML tag inside PHP code:
You can however just use an echo
to send it out directly:
echo "<table>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($results))
{
$output = "<tr>";
// <tr> This is the problem line.
$output .= "<tr>";
$output .= "<td>date: " . $row['evtDate'] . "<br /></td>";
$output .= "<td>Name: " . $row['patient'] . "<br /></td>";
$output .= "<td>Course: " . $row['patientId'] . "<br /></td>";
$output .= "</tr>";
echo $output;
}
Additionally you didn't close your <tr>
. I added some extra snippets to make each field a TD in the table and then closed the row.
