OriginalSunny Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 The trouble i am is that all the headings for my table are being output and then the values in the columns are being output below the table. I want them in the following format:OrderID 200 233 ...Surname Smith Terry ......The code i am using is:[i]echo "<table cellspacing='20'>";$connect = connect_to_db("cnn.inc");$query = "select * from products";$result = mysql_query($query,$connect)or die("sql_del: ".mysql_error($connect));echo "<tr>OrderID</tr><br>";while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {echo "<td>";echo($row['orderID'].'<br>');echo"</td>";}echo "<tr>Surname</tr><br>";while($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {echo "<td>";echo($row['surname'].'<br>');echo"</td>";}[/i]I cant see what i have done wrong here. In addition to this only the values for orderID are output and the values stored for surname are not ouput unless i get rid of the array displaying the orderID's. Your help would be appreciated.Thanks. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5773-outputting-data-in-wrong-places/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barand Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 As I said in previous topic of yours, data in tables needs to go in a cell eg <TD>data</TD>You have rows like this[code]echo "<tr>OrderID</tr><br>";[/code]where the text isn't inside a cell and the <br> isn't even in a row (and completely unnecessary) Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/5773-outputting-data-in-wrong-places/#findComment-20666 Share on other sites More sharing options...
