Who8MyFish Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So i have been tinkering with a PHP bulletin board for a project of mine and i'm having problems displaying the contents of my bulletin table. I can get the first entry to post but that is all, can someone take a look at my script and maybe help me out? I am pretty new to PHP and even newer to MySQL so be kind lol This is bulletin_board.php this is the file used to display posted bulletins. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php session_start(); ob_start(); $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="blahblah"; // Mysql username $password="livelong&prosper"; // Mysql password $db_name="members"; // Database name $tbl_name="bulletins"; // Table name // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $posts = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tbl_name") or die(mysql_error()); $info = mysql_fetch_array( $posts ); $author = $info['user']; $time = $info['date']; $post = $info['bulletin']; $user = $_SESSION['myusername']; ?> if(empty($_SESSION['myusername'])){ echo "Please log in."; } else { echo "<span class='Heading2'>Notifications for $user.</span><br /><br />"; echo "<span class='Body'>Posted by </span><span class='Heading3'>$author</span><br /><span class='footnote'>$time</span><br /><br /><span class='Body'>$post</span>"; } ?> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And i'm not sure if it matters but here is compose_bulletin.php I don't know if it matters because like i said the bulletins are being written to the database just fine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php session_start(); $user= $_SESSION['myusername']; if(empty($_SESSION['myusername'])){ echo "Please log in."; } else { echo "<span class='Heading2'> Compose Bulletin.</span><br> <span class='Body'>Use this form to post a bulletin, bulletins will post to the home page of every user.</span><br> <form action='bulletin_board_post.php' method='post'> <textarea name='bulletin' cols='120' rows='25'></textarea><br> <input name='submit' type='submit' value='POST'> </form>"; } ?> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- bulletin_board_post.php takes info from compose_bulletin.php and writes to the bulletin table in the members database --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php session_start(); ob_start(); $host="localhost"; // Host name $username="Whindoes"; // Mysql username $password="livelong&prosper"; // Mysql password $db_name="members"; // Database name $tbl_name="bulletins"; // Table name // Define timestamp and user variables $user = $_SESSION['myusername']; //define username $date = date("d/m/y : H:i:s", time()); $bulletin = $_POST['bulletin']; // Connect to server and select databse. mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB"); $posts = mysql_query("INSERT INTO $tbl_name (user, date, bulletin) VALUES('$user', '$date', '$bulletin' ) ") or die(mysql_error()); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231623-echo-all-table-information/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
