Can somebody maybe assist me. I am new to php mysql. Someone told me my html code is terrible. Here are some things they told me. 

You have table rows that aren't inside <table>..</table> tags

You are not using end tags (such as </p>, </tr>

The piece of code above should be inside the html <body>..</body> tags and not after the closing </html> tag.

 

Can someone help me to fix these problems in my code please.

 

Here is my code:

<?php
session_start();

?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head>

<body>
<div class="main">
<div class="page">

<div class="left-panel-in">
<h2 class="title">Complaints:</h2>

<p> </p>
<p>

</p>
<p>
 <form  method="post" action="allcompanies.php?go"  id="showallform">  
        <p> </p>
		<p> </p>
		  
		<table width="600" border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1">
		<tr>
		
		<th>Complaints</th>
		<tr>
		  
 </form>


 </p>


</body></html>


 <?php

//connect to the database
$db=mysql_connect ("localhost", "root", "") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error()); 

//-select the database to use
$mydb=mysql_select_db("whodidntpay");

//-query the database table

$comp = $_GET['comp'];
 
$sql="SELECT complain 
        FROM complaint c
        WHERE c.d_name = '" . mysql_real_escape_string($comp) . "'";

//-run the query against the mysql query function
$result=mysql_query($sql);

//-count results

$numrows=mysql_num_rows($result);

echo "<p>" .$numrows . " results found </p>"; 

while($debtor=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    echo "<tr>";        
    echo "<td>".$debtor['complain']."</td>";
    echo "</tr>";   
}

echo "<br/><a href=\"companydetails.php?company=$comp\">See more details</a>";

echo "<tr>";
echo "<tr>";

mysql_close($db);

Hey,

 

a few problems. Mostly, you're not closing tags.

 

If you look around the <table> tag you have, you'll see that you opened up <tr>, but haven't closed it.

 

Another problem - the php code you have running is outside of all the HTML - which is fine for processing any data from a form, but when you want to get data to display, you should always run the PHP first and write the php after, adding in PHP excerpts here and there.

 

If you need me to go any further into this, message me and I'll go through it with you
