fetch_row

Hi guys, I hav question concerning retriving the data from mysql.

I set the following code, but as a result i am getting a single cells in one column. Instead I would like to get the results as the whole rows with the cells i'm looking for. Any help? Thanks in advance!

 

$query_string="SELECT Type FROM $tablename WHERE name like'%$type%'";

$result_id=mysql_query($query_string,$mydb);

$column_count=mysql_num_fields($result_id);

print "<table border=1 align=center>\n";

$row=mysql_fetch_array($result_id);

 

while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result_id)) {

print "<tr align=left valign=top>";

for ( $column_num=0;
 $column_num<$column_count;
 $column_num++)
 print "<td>$row[$column_num]</td>\n";
 
 print "</tr>\n";
 }

 print "</table>\n";

Open/close the <tr> (table rows) outside of the while loop?

Do you mean

print "<table border=1 align=center>\n";
print "<tr align=left valign=top>";
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($result_id)) {

    print "<td>$row[0]</td>\n";
 
}
print "</tr>\n";
print "</table>\n";

I think I didn't put my thoughts clearly i am getting my single column as a row now, which is not what i wanted.

I would like to get the results from the searched field plus the associated values from other fields in the database. e.g. when i have the dabase composed of name and surname fields and i search the name field, and i get John, i want to get not only the name but also the surname so i want to see John Muller... thanks!

Your query ONLY selects one column.  Therefore, that is the ONLY column you will retrieve from your db.  Seems like you need to change your query
