I want to write an php function that will echo sql query results in a specific manner.
Example I have table 1
which is 10.000 rows
* 43 columns
:
NO NAME Prof Date of birth
1 John Teacher 1987
2 Nick Engineer 1976
3
4
5
And so on. Based on No
which is an integer
(1-10.000), I want to generate tables such as:
Name: John
Prof: Teacher
Date of birth: 1987
Name: Nick
Prof: Engineer
Date of birth: 1976
So far my code:
`
$hostname = "";
$username = "";
$password = "";
$dbname = "db1";
//connection to the database
$con = mysqli_connect($hostname, $username, $password, $dbname)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
mysqli_set_charset($con, 'utf8');
/*echo "Connected to db1 database <br>";
else
echo "Could not connect"; */
$query1 = "SELECT * FROM `table 1` WHERE CODE_NO = 1";
$query2 = "SHOW COLUMNS FROM table 1";
$result1 = mysqli_query($con, $query1);
$result2 = mysqli_query($con, $query2);
// Check result
// Useful for debugging.
if (!$result1) {
$message = 'Invalid query: ' . mysqli_error($con) . "
";
$message .= 'Whole query: ' . $query1;
die($message);
}
echo "<table>"; // table tag in the HTML
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result1))
//Creates a loop to loop through results
{
echo
"<tr>
<th>CODE_NO:</th>
<td>" . $row['CODE_NO'] . "</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>FIRST_NAME:</th>
<td>" . $row['FIRST_NAME'] . "</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>SURNAME:</th>
<td>" . $row['SURNAME'] . "</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Date of birth:</th>
<td>" . $row['DOB'] . "</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>Date of death:</th>
<td> " . $row['DOD'] . "</td>
</tr>";
}
echo "</table>"; //Close the table in HTML
?>`
Is it possbile to code the process once, without hard-coding anything, so it could be repeated as many times as needed?
Edit:
$x = 1;
$query = "SELECT * FROM
personsWHERE CODE_NO = '$x'";
$result = mysqli_query($con, $query);
