Creating a list from database


master82

Recommended Posts

In my database I have the table [b]market[/b] that contains the fields:

[b]id[/b](a unique field for the table)
[b]sellerid[/b](contains the selling members id)
[b]qty[/b](Number being sold)
[b]price[/b](how much its on the market for)

I need two things,

Firstly, I need to create the php script to show the list

and secondly, next to each row in the list a hyperlink to seller.php?id=??  (where ?? is the id of the row in the database)



Can it be done?

This should work mate, you also need to make the connection to database but i'm taking it that you have already done the connection part.


<?php
$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM market");
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
echo "$row[sellerid], $row[qty], $row[price] <a href='seller.php?id=$row[id]>the link</a><Br>";
}
?>

Just basic, you can add formatting yourself :)

Thats pretty simple:
[code=php:0]// connect to db here

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM market';
$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo '<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">';
echo '<tr><th>id</th>';
echo '<th>Seller id</th>';
echo '<th>Price</th>';
echo '<th>Qty</th>';

while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
    echo '<tr><td>' . $row['id'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td><a href="seller.php?id=' . $row['sellerid'] . '">Seller id</a></td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['price'] . '</td>';
    echo '<td>' . $row['qty'] . '</td></tr>';
}

echo '</table>';[/code]

Thats the basic code. Its untested but it should work.

[code]<?php
//connect to db here
$query="SELECT * FROM `market`";
$result=mysql_query($query);
while($row=mysql_fetch_array){
echo("------------------<br><strong>ID: </strong>".$row['id']."<br><strong>Seller-ID: </strong>".$row['sellerid']."<br><strong>Quantity: </strong>".$row['qty']."<br><strong>Price: </strong>".$row['price']."<br><strong>Link: <a href=\"seller.php?id=".$row['id']."\">Click here</a><br><br>");
};
?>[/code]

Work great guys - thank you.

Just one other small thing I would like to know,

I want to sort the list by price, how do I go about that?

I've got as far as this line, adding order by...

[b]$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mmarket ORDER BY price");[/b]

...but how do I specify it to be ordered ascending or decending?


Once again guys - thanx  ;)
