Simple php display problem.

jbrill · July 12, 2007

hey guys,

Im trying to create an online time clock for employees to clock in or out throughout the day.

Im having problems displaying the employees records though...

What i need for it to look like is:

Date and then all the "in" and "outs" for that dat in rows beneath. however right now, it is putting every "in" and "out" in a new table... heres my current code, and a image of what im getting right now.

<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT date, status, time, notes FROM timeclock WHERE userid='".$userid."' ORDER  BY time");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = $row['date'];
$status = $row['status'];
$time = $row['time'];
$notes = $row['notes'];

echo '<table bgcolor="#ffffff" class="MainBody1" width="50%" border="0">';
echo '<tr><td colspan="3" align="right" class="underline">Date:';
echo $date;
echo '</td></tr>';

echo '<tr>';

echo '<td width="100" align="left">';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td width ="150" align="left">';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td align="left"> ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table><br>';
}
?>

an this is what im seeing:

Try this:

<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT date, status, time, notes FROM timeclock WHERE userid='".$userid."' ORDER  BY time");
$p_date = "";
echo '<table bgcolor="#ffffff" class="MainBody1" width="50%" border="0">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = $row['date'];
$status = $row['status'];
$time = $row['time'];
$notes = $row['notes'];

if($p_date == "")
$p_date = $date;



if($date == $p_date)
{

echo '<tr><td>&nbsp</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td  >';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td  >';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td > ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
}
else
{
echo '<tr><td colspan="3" align="right" class="underline">Date:'.$date;echo '</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td  >';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td  >';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td > ';
echo $notes;

still didnt work... i think something needs to be changed in my query

tapos · July 12, 2007

to do your job, the mysql result should have to orderby date. after that try this

?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT date, status, time, notes FROM timeclock WHERE userid='".$userid."' ORDER  BY time");
$p_date = "";
echo '<table bgcolor="#ffffff" class="MainBody1" width="50%" border="0">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = $row['date'];
$status = $row['status'];
$time = $row['time'];
$notes = $row['notes'];





if($date == $p_date)
{

echo '<tr><td>&nbsp</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td  >';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td  >';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td > ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
}
else
{
if($p_date == "")
$p_date = $date;
echo '<tr><td colspan="3" align="right" class="underline">Date:'.$date;echo '</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td  >';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td  >';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td > ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table><br>';
}

if($p_date != $date)
  $p_date = $date

}
echo '</table><br>';
?>

just tried the above code.

here is what i put in:

<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT date, status, time, notes FROM timeclock WHERE userid='".$userid."' ORDER  BY time");
$p_date = "";
echo '<table bgcolor="#ffffff" class="MainBody1" width="50%" border="0">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = $row['date'];
$status = $row['status'];
$time = $row['time'];
$notes = $row['notes'];





if($date == $p_date)
{

echo '<tr><td>&nbsp</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td  >';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td  >';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td > ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
}
else
{
if($p_date == "")
$p_date = $date;
echo '<tr><td colspan="3" align="right" class="underline">Date:'.$date;echo '</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td  >';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td  >';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td > ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table><br>';
}

if($p_date != $date)
  $p_date = $date

}
echo '</table><br>';
?>

I got the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/morow/public_html/admin/organize_hours.php on line 178

like 178 is:

if($p_date != $date)
  $p_date = $date

} // this is line 178
echo '</table><br>';

you forgot the ; on

$p_date = $date

so it should be

$p_date = $date;

ok the code is working now, without errors BUT it is not displaying properly...

heres the code now:

<?
$result = mysql_query("SELECT date, status, time, notes FROM timeclock WHERE userid='".$userid."' ORDER  BY time");
$p_date = "";
echo '<table bgcolor="#ffffff" class="MainBody1" width="50%" border="1">';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$date = $row['date'];
$status = $row['status'];
$time = $row['time'];
$notes = $row['notes'];





if($date == $p_date)
{

echo '<tr><td>&nbsp</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td>';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td>';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td> ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
}
else
{
if($p_date == "")
$p_date = $date;
echo '<tr><td colspan="3" align="right" class="underline">Date:'.$date;echo '</td></tr>';


echo'<tr>';
echo '<td>';
echo $status;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td>';
echo $time;
echo'</td>';

echo '<td> ';
echo $notes;
echo'</td>';

echo '</tr>';
echo '</table><br>';
}

if($p_date != $date)
  $p_date = $date;

}

?>
