vampke Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi peoples, I 'm writing a script where i want to get all the numbers out of a database and put them in an html this is the database table: unid id un1 un2 un3 un4 un5 un6 un7 1 1 2 3 8 19 48 52 63 2 1 2 3 8 20 21 43 58 3 2 1 7 11 23 26 33 44 4 2 3 12 17 42 49 71 96 5 3 21 28 38 39 47 54 59 6 3 1 4 9 19 35 42 95 my php code: $msg =""; $get_numbers = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM numbers"); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($get_numbers)) { $userid = $row[0]; $id = $row[1]; $number1 = $row[2]; $number2 = $row[3]; $number3 = $row[4]; $number4 = $row[5]; $number5 = $row[6]; $number6 = $row[7]; $number7 = $row[8]; $msg .= "$number1, $number2, $number3, $number4, $number5, $number6, $number7 \n"; } This returns 189 lines of results. Here are the first few: 2, 3, 8, 19, 48, 52, 63 userID: 1 2, 3, 8, 19, 48, 52, 63 2, 3, 8, 20, 21, 43, 58 userID: 2 2, 3, 8, 19, 48, 52, 63 userID: 1 2, 3, 8, 19, 48, 52, 63 2, 3, 8, 20, 21, 43, 58 1, 7, 11, 23, 26, 33, 44 etc...

vampke Posted January 8, 2008 Author Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks ken2k7, that worked, I'm not sure what is different then in my code though... weird.... the $msg is returned in the html code, I thought it was clear so i did not mention it Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/85019-solved-getting-results-from-mysql/#findComment-433572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
revraz Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 Ah I see, you're loading up the variable first then displaying it. I usually echo it on each loop iteration.

Ken2k7 Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 mysql_fetch_row() fetches one row of data while mysql_fetch_array() can fetch more than 1.

trq Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 mysql_fetch_row() fetches one row of data while mysql_fetch_array() can fetch more than 1. Since when? mysql_fetch_array fetches one row each time it is called then moves the internal pointer forward.

revraz Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 That's how it keeps track of where it's at or else it won't know what the next row is.
