gw32 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) Oh Great GURU's of the PHP Relm, please help! I have this script and when I run it I get a blank screen. Every thing looks correct don't know what's wrong. SCRIPT: <?php include "config.php"; echo '<html>'; echo '<head> <style> p.pos_right { position: relative; left: 250px; top: 100px; } h3.pos_right { position: relative; left: 450px; top: 100px; } </style> </head>'; echo '<body>'; echo '<h3 class="pos_right">Weekly Report for <script type="text/javascript"> var d=new Date(); var weekday=new Array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday", "Saturday"); var monthname=new Array("January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"); document.write(weekday[d.getDay()] + " "); document.write(monthname[d.getMonth()] + " "); document.write(d.getDate() + ", "); document.write(d.getFullYear()); </script></h3>'; $result = mysqli_query("SELECT * FROM data1 order by tpts desc"); echo '<p class="pos_right"> <table border="1"> <thead> <tr> <td align="center" width="50">Rank</td> <td align="center" width="50">Total<br>Pts</td> <td align="center" width="100">Name</td> <td align="center" width="75">Winnings</td> <td align="center" width="75">High<br>Hand</td> <td align="center" width="75">50-50</td> <td align="center" width="75">Total</td> <td align="center" width="50">Wks<br>Plyd</td> <td align="center" width="50">In Top<br>7</td> <td align="center" width="75">% in Top 7</td> <td align="center" width="75">Won /<br>Loss</td> <tr> </thead>'; while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" .['tpts'].

Barand Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Put it in code tags with decent formatting applied and someone may look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Based on a quick look, you have some syntax errors in the echo statements here: while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<tr>"; echo "<td>" .['tpts']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" .['name']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" "$" .['winning']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" "$" .['high']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" "$" .['fty']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" "$" .['total']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" .['weeks']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" .['t7']. "</td>"; echo "<td>" .['pt7']."%" "</td>"; echo "<td>" "$" .['wl']. "</td>"; echo "</tr>"; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac_gyver Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) your php code contains a number of syntax/parse errors, some incorrect array references, and wrong usage of mysqli_query statement. you need to have php's error_reporting set to E_ALL and display_errors set to ON in the php.ini on your development system to get php to report and display all the errors it detects. due to the syntax/parse errors in your main file, these two settings cannot be set in your main code because your main code never runs for this type of error. the string concatenation you are doing inside the while(){} loop is where most of the problems are. you are missing some concatenation dots OR you should just put everything inside of a php double-quoted string and forget about concatenation. you also need to specify the array name inside that same code. all the array references need to have $row as part of them. the php errors, after you turn them on, should help you find the remaining problems in the code.

gw32 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) scrapped that whole script. went to this one. <?PHP include "config.php"; //THIS SECTION WORKS $sqld = "INSERT data2 (attend, payout, total)\n" . " SELECT sumofattend,\n" . " sumofpayout,\n" . " (sumofpayout - sumofattend) AS net_total\n" . " FROM (Select (SUM(attend) * 20) AS sumofattend,\n" . " SUM(payout) AS sumofpayout\n" . " FROM data\n" . " GROUP BY playersid) AS u"; $res11 = mysqli_query( $conn, $sqld ) or exit( mysqli_error($conn) ); $sqle = "INSERT data3 (t7, att)\n" . " SELECT sum(points > 0) as t7, sum(attend) as att\n" . " FROM data\n" . " GROUP BY playersid"; $res12 = mysqli_query( $conn, $sqle ) or exit( mysqli_error($conn) ); $sqlf = "INSERT data4 (pt7)\n" . " SELECT round(sum(t7 / att) * 100,0)\n" . " FROM data3\n" .

Barand Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 You need to call mysqli_query before you can fetch any rows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Also note that you still have quite a few syntax errors in the following while loop: while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<tr> <td><font color='white'></td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['tpts'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['name'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['winning'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['high'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['fty'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['total'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['weeks']?></td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['t7'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['pt7'].</td> <td><font color='white'>.$row['wl'].</td> </tr>"; } It should look more like this: while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { echo "<tr> <td><font color='white'></td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['tpts'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['name'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['winning'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['high'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['fty'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['total'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['weeks'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['t7'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['pt7'] . "</td> <td><font color='white'>" . $row['wl'] . "</td> </tr>"; } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyberRobot Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 You need to call mysqli_query before you can fetch any rows @gw32 - when you call mysqli_query, as suggested by Barand, you'll need to store the result set identifier. That identifier needs to be passed to mysqli_fetch_array() in the following line of code: while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) { More information can be found here: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-array.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Jacques1 Posted March 23, 2016 Solution Share Posted March 23, 2016 The bigger picture is that you need to stop writing spaghetti code. Right now, you have JavaScript code within 90s HTML markup within PHP code, next to CSS within HTML within PHP. No wonder you spend most of your time struggling with syntax errors! You've reached the point where you no longer understand your own code. JavaScript code and CSS declarations belong into external files. This will massively reduce the complexity and size of your PHP scripts, making syntax errors much less likely. The PHPHTML pasta can be untangled with a template engine like Twig, which will also fix dozens of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in your current code (it seems you haven't even thought about security before). While it's theoretically possible to generate dynamic web pages with pure PHP, this requires a lot of discipline and security awareness. I don't recommend it. Last but not least, you should replace your current code editor with a proper IDE (integrated development environment) like Netbeans or Eclipse. This will warn you immediately when you fudge up the syntax, giving you a chance to fix the error yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gw32 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Great advice and nice and soft slap on the hands. Eclipse will not run on my mac, something about JVD versions, did what it said to do and still no run. Will try Netbeans. As far as spaghetti code, I just sat down last week to try to develop a web site from my spreadsheets. My spreadsheets have all the right formulas and put things where they belong. Will let you know how things progress. Thanks for your help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
