Hello and thanks in advance for any help. I am stumped on how to attempt to do this. I am trying to make php pull only certain rows of info into my tables. I have all the info in my database. I just need to know the code to pull it out and have it go into this table..but do it roughly 32 times once for each person in my list because I want it all in the same page. Heres my html code for the table. ( I know how to connect to my database and all that..Just need the code to pull individual data from the rows not the columns. I know how to pull from columns (which is what they pass yds, rush tds, etc, etc are) So i dont think i would need all that code for the table..i dunno you guys are the experts (this is what i want it to look like <snip> but instead of 2 listings there will be 32))

I am wondering if you are looking for this kind of code. 


$output = '';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$output .= ' 
<tr bgcolor="FFCCFF">
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[year1] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[record] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[at_home] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[away] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[div_record] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[pass_yds] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[pass_tds] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[rush_yds] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[rush_tds] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[off_ppg] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[def_papg] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[ints] . '</span></td> 
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[def_tds] . '</span></td>
 </tr>';}
echo $output;

Is this what you are looking for? It would build all of the rows/columns and then output them when complete.

the value in the bracket in this case would be the title of the column in the table. I just put names i thought would be accurate in there.

I would also remove the space from your path, just to reduce potential problems, replace it with an underscore, or just remove it all together.

After re-reading your post, you were asking how to pick just certain rows?

I would add an additional field on your table to flag which ones you are looking to print otherwise, I would just do a where value = "result" or value2 = "result2"

or where new_field = 'yes'

I guess it helps to re-read a bit more before responding!

Well first off yes i have all my fields with an underscore i just forgot to put it in that way...second thank you very much for responding and your help...i am still new to the whole php thing and am slowly getting it...but i am not real sure how to explain what i want...I am trying to get my database to pull all the info i have on user 1 into that table format.....and then on my next table under that one pull all the info from user 2 and stick it in that same table format......

if you are suggesting that i add a ID field to tag it that fine..but then how do i get it so i only pull certain fields from that row in the table...sorry if this is confusing (i think i am confusing myself..lol)

edit: the whole point of this is i am making a statistics website with a bunch of users (up to 32) and on the user page i want to list all the users with all there stats in that table format for each user. (if that makes it anymore clearer)

shdwmage gave you the all the code you need except for the first couple of lines:

$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE..." // You need to complete this
$result = mysql_query($query);

Have a look at SELECT & WHERE at [w3schools.com...] to get you going.

What i was speaking about was building the search.

Below are a couple examples

This example will select every thing that is in table_a where the uid (the user id of the person thats logged in) is equal to 1 


SELECT * FROM table_a WHERE uid = 1

The following example is probably a poor coding practice, but you can have a field in your table that corraletes to the user ids that are capable of viewing the file. 


SELECT * FROM table_b WHERE access_ids like '%,$uid,%'

In this example the $uid is equal to the user id of the current logged in user. Using the like as well as the % signs will allow you to search just a part of the value thats stored in the database.

So depending on how you want to structure your id field, there are a couple of examples of how you can access the data.

If you would like some more clarification, I will try.

The way the code I gave you above is written, it will take just those fields out of everything, but you could also do a:

Select year1,record,at_home,away,div_record,... FROM table_a

To just pull the data out of those fields into the array.

Please note the ... is just a continuation of all the fields you want to pull seperated by a comma.

Ok I am back and have tried what you have said..and well I am not sure whats wrong...because it accepts the code with no errors but it pulls nothing from my database and i do have info in it.. heres the code: 


<?php
$hostname_LL = "localhost";
$database_LL = "database";
$username_LL = "user";
$password_LL = "pass";
$LL = mysql_pconnect($hostname_LL, $username_LL, $password_LL) or trigger_error(mysql_error(),E_USER_ERROR);
mysql_select_db($database_LL, $LL);
$query = ("SELECT 'Record', 'At_Home', 'Away', 'Division_Record', 'Pass_Yds', 'Pass_TDs', 'Rush_Yds', 'Rush_TDs', 'Off_PPG', 'Def_PAPG', 'INT', 'Def_TDs' FROM statistics WHERE ID='19'"); 
$result = mysql_query($query);

"SELECT 'Record', 'At_Home', 'Away', 'Division_Record', 'Pass_Yds', 'Pass_TDs', 'Rush_Yds', 'Rush_TDs', 'Off_PPG', 'Def_PAPG', 'INT', 'Def_TDs' FROM statistics WHERE ID='19'"

Try:
SELECT Record , At_Home , Away , Division_Record , Pass_Yds , Pass_TDs , Rush_Yds , Rush_TDs , Off_PPG , Def_PAPG , INT , Def_TDs FROM statistics WHERE ID='19'

list each field without the '' and see if it works.

Also change the mysql_query($query) to
mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error())

Your code will also only print one line. 


<?php 
$output = '';
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
$output .= '
<tr bgcolor="FFCCFF">
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[year1] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[record] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[at_home] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[away] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[div_record] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[pass_yds] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[pass_tds] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[rush_yds] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[rush_tds] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[off_ppg] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[def_papg] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[ints] . '</span></td>
<td align="center"><span class="style7">' . $row[def_tds] . '</span></td>
</tr>';}
echo $output; 
?>

This will make it show multiple rows. Plus make it a bit easier on the server as far as resources because it will make the whole table with php, and then print it.

well i made you changes but it still shows nothing... and when i took out the '' for the fields it give me this error

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'INT , Def_TDs FROM statistics WHERE ID='19'' at line 1
