Printing table data

Bounty · July 3, 2010

Ok i made this simple register / login script so how can i list all Usernames from database table like this:

1.user1

2.user2

3.user3

......

?

Something like this is probably what you're looking for.

$query = "SELECT `username` FROM `table` WHERE `username` IS NOT NULL;

$result = mysql_query($query);

echo "<table>";

count = 1;

while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) {

echo "<tr><td>{$count}</td><td>{$array['username']}</td></tr>";

$count++;

}

echo "</table>";

[code=php:0]

I think you missed an '$' at count = 1;

Btw with this script i get this error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in C:\xampp\htdocs\register\memberspage.php on line 15

Line 15 is this:

while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) {

://

Thanks for the help btw

D'oh! That's what I get for typing it directly in to the reply box . . . No syntax highlighting == I missed more than just that. Here it is edited, and without syntax errors.

$query = "SELECT `username` FROM `table` WHERE `username` IS NOT NULL";
$result = mysql_query($query);
echo "<table>";
$count = 1;
while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
     echo "<tr><td>{$count}</td><td>{$array['username']}</td></tr>";
     $count++;
}
echo "</table>";

Sorry for troubling you so much...:/

Can you post the code you're using now, that generated the error?

OK. Try this, but this time, copy and paste it. Don't go and change things until we see if it works or not.

haven't changed a thing...the last time i was trying something thats why it was changed i forgot to undo it

There's your problem. You aren't connecting to the database before running the query.

Look at:

the mysql_connect() and mysql_select_db() functions.

$server = // your server ip address, or localhost if that's the case
$user = // database user name
$pass = // database user's password, if applicable
$db_name = // database name

$dbc = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);

mysql_select_db( $db_name, $dbc)

Pikachu2000 · July 4, 2010

I'm not sure how, but I managed to paste your old code into the reply yesterday, instead of the code I edited. For that, I apologize.

Neither of those code blocks have parse errors, though, and neither of them has $username = $_POST['username'] on line 14. In both versions, that is line 9, and the value of $username is not even used in the script. Here is the version of it tried to post yesterday.

There are 5 lines of code before this script somewhere. Is this script include()d by another script? If it is, what is in that script?

<html>
<head>
<title>Members</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
$tablee = "users";
$username = $_POST['username']; // Does this line have a purpose in this script? The value is never used.
$query = "SELECT `username` FROM `$tablee` WHERE `username` IS NOT NULL";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query cratered: ' . mysql_error() . '<br />Using query string: ' . $query);
echo '<table>';
$count = 1;
while ($array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
     echo ("<tr><td>$count</td><td>" . $array['username'] . "</td></tr>");
     $count++;
}
echo '</table>';
?>
</body>
</html>

Have no idea how that line got in there...must be my mistake when pasting or something...

Anyhow..do i need database connection for this?

Wont work with or without the connection :///

This is the code i use now...

<html>
<head>
<title>Members</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<body>
<?php
$server = "localhost";
$user = "***";
$pass = "***";
$db_name = "mysql";

$dbc = mysql_connect($server, $user, $pass);

mysql_select_db( $db_name, $dbc)
$query = "SELECT `username` FROM `users` WHERE `username` IS NOT NULL";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query cratered: ' . mysql_error() . '<br />Using query string: ' . $query);
echo "<table>";
$count = 1;
while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
     echo "<tr><td>{$count}</td><td>{$array['username']}</td></tr>";
     $count++;
}
echo "</table>";
?>
</body>
</html>

It shows error in this line:

$query = "SELECT `username` FROM `users` WHERE `username` IS NOT NULL";

Should i escape quotes or anything..?

Pikachu2000 · July 4, 2010

You left the semi-colon ; off the previous line.

Bounty · July 4, 2010

It finally works...

It shows:

1

2 Adam

3 Bounty

First i created "Bounty" and then i created "Adam" so it should be Bounty then Adam..://

And why is 1. empty?

Pikachu2000 · July 4, 2010

Then there should only be 2 records in the `users` table in the database. How many are there?

Also, you aren't using any ORDER BY statement in the query, so it may not retrieve the records in the order you'd expect it to.

Bounty · July 4, 2010

So how can i order it?

And is there a way to import data (usernames) in html directly?

Edit:

This is the table data structure its weird..

I'm lost...

Google "MySQL ORDER BY"

What do you mean import username "directly"? I don't follow what you're asking.

That isn't the table's structure, really. In phpMyAdmin, select the table, the click the "Structure" tab at the top to see the structure.

Well could i make a variable that displays the list and when needed in html code just inserting the variable in the table..

Well what is it? I think its data inside the table...if it is than it is weird...

Pikachu2000 · July 4, 2010

You apparently hit the "Propose Table Structure" link. That doesn't give you the current table structure. The "Structure" tab at the top does. As for your first question, I still don't understand what you're wanting to do. The username information should already be in the database for all actual users, no? Why would you need to re-insert it?

Bounty · July 4, 2010

I ment something like this..could i make a string like "$userlist = command for listing" and use it in html anywhere in the code?

I know this is not a table structure but what is it? It looks messed up...
