Below is the code I have so far, if someone could help me with the rest it would be great. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <form name="input" action="" method="get"> Enter a row number 1-6:<br/> <input type="text" name="row" /> <br/> <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <?php $list = array(array(42356,'J Smith',55), array(45243,'M Fisher',39), array(45363,'T White',77), array(45676,'J Blogs',68), array(43212,'M Grey',45), array(43576,'T Brown',49) ); print "<table border=1><tr><th>Student Number</th> <th>Student Name</th> <th>Module Mark</th></tr>"; print "<tr> <td> $list[0][0]</td>"; print "<tr> <td> $list[0][1]</td>"; print "<td> $list[0][2]</td></tr>"; print "</table>"; // prints the first row ?> </body> </html> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192556-beginner-php-code-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Shepy87, you should look at php loops. Loop is something you use to iterate trough list of some sort or do similar operation multiple times. The most general loop is for loop , but for array iteration it is simpler to use foreach loop. regards, Goat Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/192556-beginner-php-code-help/#findComment-1014553 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shepy87 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 yes I have done that but it just prints out the whole list. I want the user to select a row in a textbox then this prints a table of that row. This is all new to me so sorry if it not getting through to me.
