Output order

[miligraf]

I have this code for some affiliates thing, it shows all of them:

[code]<?
include "connect.php";

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM affiliates ORDER BY id");
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
    {
        $id = $row[0];
        $countout = $row[1];
        $countin = $row[2];
        $ws_name = $row[3];
        $ws_link = $row[4];
        $ws_button = $row[5];
?>
<div align="center"><a href="afiliado.php?outid=<?php echo $id; ?>" target="_blank">
  <img src="<?php echo $ws_button; ?>" width=88 height=31 alt="<?php echo $ws_name; ?>" border="0"></a>
  <br>
  <span class='style20 Estilo3'>Entraron:</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $countin </span>";?> | <span class='style20 Estilo3'>Salieron:</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $countout </span>";?></div>
  <?
}
?>[/code]

the thing is that it shows all of them in one column, i want it so it shows them in a row.

gracias.

ummm.... i don't get it. are you asking an html question? as in, you want it formatted on the screen differently?

[miligraf]

i get the output like this:

affiliate1
affiliate2
affiliate3

and i want it to be:

affiliate1 affiliate2 affiliate3

Well... you have a div in there plus a <br>. You may have to take one or both out to get it to stay on one line.

[miligraf]

that div just makes in centered but it doesnt affect it so that it will show only 1 column, the <br> is for getting the In and Out clicks in the next line:

affiliate 1 button
In: | Out:

ive noticed that when you retreive information from a table, it always puts it in a single column and not in rows...i want to change this.

thx

[ober]

Putting a div around a line of data will put each on a seperate line, creating a column. You can open the div before the loop and close it after the loop is done to center the data.

[miligraf]

ok, i deleted the div and it looks like this:

[a href=\"http://www.miligraf.com/web/afiliados/afiliados.php\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.miligraf.com/web/afiliados/afiliados.php[/a]

when i put the div, it looks the same but just centered :(

[.josh]

take out the <br> if you want it ALL on one line.

however, I think it looks like you want it to do this:

[code]
affiliate 1  affiliate 2  affiliate 3
In: | Out:  In: | Out:    In: | Out:
[/code]

that's what you want, right?

add the things in bold:
[!--quoteo--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--quotec--]

[b]<table><tr>[/b]
<?
include "connect.php";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM affiliates ORDER BY id");

while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
$id = $row[0];
$countout = $row[1];
$countin = $row[2];
$ws_name = $row[3];
$ws_link = $row[4];
$ws_button = $row[5];
?>
[b]<td>[/b]
<div align="center"><a href="afiliado.php?outid=<?php echo $id; ?>" target="_blank">
<img src="<?php echo $ws_button; ?>" width=88 height=31 alt="<?php echo $ws_name; ?>" border="0"></a>
<br>
<span class='style20 Estilo3'>Entraron:</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $countin </span>";?> | <span class='style20 Estilo3'>Salieron:</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $countout </span>";?></div>
[b]<td>[/b]
<?
}
?>
[b]</tr></table>[/b]
[/quote]

[miligraf]

you got me Crayon, but they all keep appearing in one line...its not like if they dont have more space they will appear in the next line/row. i tried different things but they kep appearing in same row.

lets say theres only space for 3 in a row/line, so they would have to appear like this but they dont, they keep appearing in the same row/line:

affiliate 1 affiliate 2 affiliate 3
In: | Out: In: | Out: In: | Out:

affiliate 4 affiliate 5 affiliate 6
In: | Out: In: | Out: In: | Out:

affiliate 7 affiliate 8 affiliate 9
In: | Out: In: | Out: In: | Out:

gracias.

If you want to set a limit on the number to use before it goes to the next line, you'll have to include a counter and then close the <tr> and then reopen one.

[code]<table>
<?
include "connect.php";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM affiliates ORDER BY id");
$rowcount = 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
if($rowcount == 0)
     echo "<tr>"; // start row
$id = $row[0];
$countout = $row[1];
$countin = $row[2];
$ws_name = $row[3];
$ws_link = $row[4];
$ws_button = $row[5];
?>
<td>
<div align="center"><a href="afiliado.php?outid=<?php echo $id; ?>" target="_blank">
<img src="<?php echo $ws_button; ?>" width=88 height=31 alt="<?php echo $ws_name; ?>" border="0"></a>
<br>
<span class='style20 Estilo3'>Entraron:</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $countin </span>";?> | <span class='style20 Estilo3'>Salieron:</span> <?php echo "<span class='style20 Estilo3'> $countout </span>";?></div>
<td>
if(++$rowcount == 3) // increment and compare to max row count
{
     echo "</tr>";  // close row
    $rowcount = 0;  // reset counter
}
<?
}
if($rowcount < 3)
   echo "</tr>";  // just to have valid code
?>
</table>[/code]

I hope that makes sense.
