34drysdale Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 We have booking data in spreadsheet looks like table in below, and each booking is for a full week. | wk1 | wk2 | wk3 | wk4 | wk5 |..........| wk52 | ================================== E1 | resv | |resv | |resv | |resv E2 | | resv |resv |resv | E3 | resv | resv |............................................... E4 | resv | E5 | ... | resv | resv|.................................... ... | E50|resv | resv | | resv It looks great excel but required one person to manage all bookings. So we moved to web interface and allow users to make their own bookings. Now, data moved to sql database with fields (id, wk#, room, other....), and records like below. 01 wk1 E1 02 wk1 E3 03 wk1 E4 ..... etc.... nn wk2 E2 nn wk2 E3 ... and more Now, I need a method in PHP to print above data in HTML table that looks like excel table in above. It doesn't have to print 52 wks in one page, but at least something like 4 wks view and next page to show the next 4 wks. At start it will print the first 4 wks from the current week (wk 11), and next page will print wk12 to wk15, etc. | wk1 | wk2 | wk3 | wk4 =================== E1 | resv | |resv | E2 | | resv |resv |resv E3 | resv | resv |............... E4 | resv | E5 | more rows...... Can someone here give me a direction how to code this in PHP?

btherl Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Is it the querying from the database or the paging (ie displaying page 1, page 2 etc) that you are unclear on? Or both? Have you got any code so far? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230878-need-help-to-print-large-html-table/#findComment-1188519 Share on other sites More sharing options...
34drysdale Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Yes, it will query the database and print a table in pages. I have data in sqlite db, but don't know how to code in PHP. I just started learning PHP last week and am not a programmer. I want to do something like when a user click to view bookings, the tool will show up 4 weeks view starting from the current week and click on next page will show the next 4 weeks, something like that.

btherl Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Looks like you have a lot to learn! Especially as most tutorials deal with mysql rather than sqlite. I would start out with a simple task like displaying a static html table from php. Then display data from the table using fixed conditions (for example, display week 1 only). Then extend it to display multiples weeks, and then to take the page number from a form. You can probably find some useful information in the comments on this page: http://php.net/manual/en/book.sqlite.php Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/230878-need-help-to-print-large-html-table/#findComment-1188523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
