How to use foreach to display data from multiple column?

Hi..guys! I have a form and use foreach to output value from multiple column in database.What wrong went in the following script?I can only get the movie name but not category as well.How about if category likely to be bracketed?

PHP Code:

---

<tr> 
<td> 
<? 
if (isset($_SESSION['gmemberid'])) { 
    $tbl_name = "movie"; 

    $result = mysql_query("SELECT name,category FROM $tbl_name") 
                         or die("Cannot execute query."); 

    $numrow = mysql_num_rows($result); 

    if ($numrow != 0) { 
        for ($counter = 0; $row = mysql_fetch_row($result); $counter++) { 
            foreach ($row as $key => $value) { 

                if ($key == 0) { 
?>                     
                        <strong><br> 
                         <?php echo $value;?></strong></font></td> 
                      </tr> 
<? 
             } 
           } 
         } 
       } 
    } 
?>

this wont print out anything but the first row. you dont want to check if the key is 0. and you are also only printing the value, not the key. to print both you could use somethign like

PHP Code:

---

if() {?>
<tr>
     <th><?php echo $key ?></th>
     <td><?php echo $value ?></td>
</tr>
<?php } ?>

I am using mysql_fetch_array() rather than mysql_fetch_rows().

PHP Code:

---

<?
if (isset($_SESSION['gmemberid'])) {
    $tbl_name = "movie";

    $result = mysql_query("SELECT name,category FROM $tbl_name")
                            or die("Cannot execute query.");

    $numrow = mysql_num_rows($result);

    if ($numrow != 0) {
        while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
             echo '<strong><br>' . $rows[0] .' (' . $rows[1] .') </strong>';
        }
           
?>

Let said now I have seven rows of record need to be fetched out,how can I write a single SQL statement to query them out and display properly,I have an auto-increment id column in the table.Thanks...

$row[0] tells you very little as to what the key is for this item.
mysql_fetch_array() allows you to reference by key, rather than row.

Code:

---

if ($numrow != 0) {
while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result)){?>
    <tr>
        <th><?php echo $rows[$key]; ?></th>
        <td><?php echo $rows[$value]; ?></td>
    </tr><?php
        }

that is what the WHERE clause is for

Code:

---

$result = mysql_query("SELECT name,category FROM $tbl_name WHERE _____")
                            or die("Cannot execute query.");

---

Is there any problem with using index.$row[0] is name;$row[1] is category.
I have a query statement to display all seven recordsbut why the first record is skipped?

PHP Code:

---

 $result = mysql_query("SELECT name,category FROM $tbl_name
                           WHERE id BETWEEN '1' AND '7'")
                                 or die("Cannot execute query.");

WHERE id<8

You can't always guarantee that the first seven IDs will be below 8; for example, if a row is deleted the eighth row will have an ID of 8. Instead, use a LIMIT clause:

Code:

---

$result = mysql_query(sprintf('SELECT name, category FROM %s LIMIT 8', $tbl_name))
  or die('Cannot execute query.');

---

ok.by this moment how can I align all screening time in a single row?

PHP Code:

---

  <table width="100%" height="47" border="0">
                      <tr> 
                        <td height="21" colspan="6"><font face="Arial">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br>    
            
<?
if (isset($_SESSION['gmemberid'])) {
    $tbl_name = "movie";

   $result = mysql_query(sprintf('SELECT name,category,screeningTime FROM %s
             LIMIT 1', $tbl_name)) or die('Cannot execute query.');

    //$numrow = mysql_num_rows($result);

   
        while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            echo '<strong>' . $rows['name'] . ' (' . $rows['category'] . ')
                 <br></strong></font>';
            foreach (explode(',', $rows['screeningTime']) as $time) { ?>
            <label>
            <td><input type="radio" value="<?php echo $time; ?>">
            <?php echo $time; ?></td>
            </label>
            </td></tr>
            <?php } ?>
<?
        }

    
}
?>

Remove the wrapping <tr> element.

Thanks for reply.Now the entire thing,including the dashed line is on center,how can keep it on left?

PHP Code:

---


                <table width="100%" border="0">
                <tr> 
                  <td height="68"> 
                    <table width="100%" height="47" border="0">
                      
                       <font face="Arial">------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <br>    
            
<?
if (isset($_SESSION['gmemberid'])) {
    $tbl_name = "movie";

   $result = mysql_query(sprintf('SELECT name,category,screeningTime FROM %s
             LIMIT 1', $tbl_name)) or die('Cannot execute query.');

    //$numrow = mysql_num_rows($result);

   
        while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
            echo '<strong>' . $rows['name'] . ' (' . $rows['category'] . ')
                 <br></strong></font>';
            foreach (explode(',', $rows['screeningTime']) as $time) { ?>
            <label>
            <input type="radio" value="<?php echo $time; ?>">
            <?php echo $time; ?>
            </label>
            
            <?php } ?>
<?
        }

    
}
?>

a. get rid of the font tag <font> it has been depreciated.
b. you can use the horizontal rule tag and kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

HTML Code:

if the table is 100% there shouldn't be any center but you can use css styling to accomplish this, and force everything to the left

HTML Code:

---

<style type="text/css">
table, table * {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: left;
}
</style>

Thanks for helping,by now I would like to submit the form after clicking one of the radio button.How can the selected screeningTime and its movie name being captured by $_POST?Really appreciate for your initiative.

PHP Code:

---

<?
if (isset($_SESSION['gmemberid'])) {
    $tbl_name = "movie";

    $result = mysql_query(sprintf('SELECT name,category,screeningTime FROM %s
             LIMIT 7', $tbl_name)) or die('Cannot execute query.');

    //$numrow = mysql_num_rows($result);


    while ($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        echo '<table width="100%" border="0"><tr><td height="68">
                  <table width="100%" height="47" border="0">
                   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>';

        echo '<strong>' . $rows['name'] . ' (' . $rows['category'] . ')
                 <br></strong>';
        foreach (explode(',', $rows['screeningTime']) as $time) { ?>
            <label>
            <input type="radio" value="<?php echo $time; ?>">
            <?php echo $time; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Ya.What I have done is to grab movie list from database.But now user need to register movie ticket so the selected screeningTime and its movie title need to be captured and stored to database later.

Did anybody know how to capture it?Thanks for your generious help...
