Select mysql & display in an html table using php

[skidmark10]

Hello,

 

I am trying to retrieve and display data from a mysql table into a html table using php. I am using this code and it works successfully.

 

<?php
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");

echo "<table border='1'>
<tr>
<th>Firstname</th>
<th>Lastname</th>
</tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . "</td>";
  echo "<td>" . $row['LastName'] . "</td>";
  echo "</tr>";
  }
echo "</table>";

mysql_close($con);
?>

 

However, I want $row['FirstName'] and $row['LastName'] to appear in the SAME cell of the html table, next to one another. How would I write the code for that, if it is possible

 

Thanks in advance!

mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");
echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>Name</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  {  
echo "<tr>";  echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . ' ' . $row['LastName']"</td>";  
echo "</tr>";  
}
echo "</table>";
mysql_close($con);
?>

mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");
echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>Name</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  {  
echo "<tr>";  echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . ' ' . $row['LastName']"</td>";  
echo "</tr>";  
}
echo "</table>";
mysql_close($con);
?>

 

I don't think that works, I keep receiving the same error as before :-\

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ',' or ';'

No where in your first post did you say anything about a parse error!  Post your ENTIRE script, that is the only way to deal with parse errors. (Include the acutal error also, there should be a line number in it.)

I tried a similar code (not the code I posted)

 

I put this and got a parse error

echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . " . $row['LastName']"</td>"

;

 

Then I tried your code too and received a parse error

echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . ' ' . $row['Last_Name']"</td>";

this line

. $row['LastName']"</td>";  

 

Is missing a '.'

 

try

<?php
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");
echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>Name</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  {  
echo "<tr>";  echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . ' ' . $row['LastName']. "</td>";  
echo "</tr>";  
}
echo "</table>";
mysql_close($con);
?>

this line

. $row['LastName']"</td>";  

 

Is missing a '.'

 

try

<?php
mysql_select_db("my_db", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Persons");
echo "<table border='1'><tr><th>Name</th></tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))  {  
echo "<tr>";  echo "<td>" . $row['FirstName'] . ' ' . $row['LastName']. "</td>";  
echo "</tr>";  
}
echo "</table>";
mysql_close($con);
?>

 

I apologize for that, I'm gonna have to get more sleep, and quit being mean to people!
