I'm creating a report page and can't figure out how to retrieve multiple rows from a table and display them in html. There are 5 data elements in each row and I'm thinking that using a form in the html might be the best way as I'm totally ignorant about tables in html. I'm a newbie to php and can't figure out how to accomplish this. Here's the code that I have so far: <?php $filename = NULL; session_start(); // start of script every time. // setup a path for all of your canned php scripts $php_scripts = '../php/'; // a folder above the web accessible tree // load the pdo connection module require $php_scripts . 'PDO_Connection_Select.php'; //******************************* // Begin the script here // Connect to the database if (!$con = PDOConnect("foxclone")): { echo "Failed to connect to database" ; exit; } else: { $sql = 'SELECT COUNT(IP_ADDRESS) FROM download WHERE FILENAME IS NOT NULL'; $sql1 = 'Update download t2, ip_lookup t1 set t2.country = t1.country, t2.area = t1.area, t2.city = t1.city where ((t2.IP_ADDRESS) = (t1.start_ip) OR (t2.IP_ADDRESS) > (t1.start_ip)) AND ((t2.IP_ADDRESS) = (t1.end_ip) OR (t2.IP_ADDRESS) < (t1.end_ip)) AND (t2.FILENAME is not null and t2.country is null)'; $sql2 = 'SELECT (IP_ADDRESS, FILENAME, country, area, city) from download where FILENAME is not null'; // Update the table $stmt = $con->prepare($sql1); $stmt->execute(); // Get count of rows to be displayed in table $stmt = $con->prepare($sql); $stmt->execute() ; $cnt = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM); // retrieve one row at a time $i = 1; while($i <= $cnt){ $stmt = $con->prepare($sql2); $row->execute(array('')); // Do I need an array here? // from here on, I'm lost $i++; I'd appreciate any guidance you can provide or understandable tutorials you can point me to.
