Spring Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Is all of the HTML not showing up? Or just the data ? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/252174-cant-get-table-to-show-up-in-html-area/#findComment-1292871 Share on other sites More sharing options...

btellez Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 More specifically, does any of the $display_block actually get output? Or are you just missing additional stuff that being concatenated in the loop?

PFMaBiSmAd Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 This might be a good time to mention that you need to have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL (or even better a -1) and display_errors set to ON in your master php.ini so that php will help you by reporting and displaying all the errors it detects. You will save a TON of time. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/252174-cant-get-table-to-show-up-in-html-area/#findComment-1293212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nander Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Pikachu2000 that was it great thank you so much, simple mistake but hard to find. Fresh eyes are the best.

Pikachu2000 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I had looked at this thread several times before I spotted it. Like was suggested above, having errors displayed would have made this about a 10 second fix.
