Using PHP to display MSSQL data.
I have a 32 fields of data stored in an MSSQL database. I need to retrieve and display this information online in specific order that does not match the field order. I currently have a solution but it is not the most efficient way of doing it. So i welcome assistance and advise on achieving a more efficient method.
Currently i create a function to call a single field of data for each field (thats 32 separate functions), then place each function inside a div in its correct order.
Here is my php function:
function field1() {
$serverName = "#"; //serverName\instanceName
$connectionInfo = array( "Database"=>"#", "UID"=>"#", "PWD"=>"#");
$conn = sqlsrv_connect( $serverName, $connectionInfo);
// start of query function
$sql = "select field1 from [stats]";
$query = sqlsrv_query($conn,$sql);
if(sqlsrv_fetch($query) ===false)
echo "couldn't fetch data";
$result = sqlsrv_get_field( $query, 0);
echo "$result";
}
i am new to php so be kind on my lack of experience & knowledge :).
