I have managed to take information from my database of the website, however I have no idea how to present the results in a table and how to style it. I tried putting <table>
outside of the whole PHP, clearly did not work. I tried echoing a <table>
tag before the result echo and a closing </table>
tag after it, but that did not do it. This is the code I am working with:
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "onlib";
// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
//Takes all the results from the table with genre 5.
$sql = "SELECT name, description, content FROM books WHERE genre='5'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "<span style='color:white;'>"."<br> Name: ".$row["name"]."<br> Description: ".$row["description"]."<br> Content: ".$row["content"] ."<br>"."</p>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
$conn->close();
?>
I am still new in PHP, trying to understand how the whole thing works. Thanks in advance!
