RE: [PHP-DB] Looping within a string?
Hi there, Well basically I have a list of items and their prices etc . which have to be sent via email, so I need to store the data in a string. I THOUGHT I could execute the loop with all the elements (Such as table rows etc ...) inside a string, but I was wrong, so how can I store the data PLUS the table data into a string? It has to be an HTML email and I'm stumped. I can send an email no problem, but not with all the data, just the last row in the data.

Create the output in the same manner as you would use if you were displaying it; in other words, loop through the source (database, whatever) adding the formatting as required. Instead of echoing the output to screen, append it to a variable. Voila, you have the data all in one variable. -- David Robley My pencil is dull, said Tom pointlessly. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

By 'data' I assume you mean data from the database and by 'table data' I
assume you mean the HTML markup to output a table?
$text = '';
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_resultc)) {
$text .= 'some html markup' . $row['id'] . 'more html';
}
Now stick $text somewhere in the body of your mail.
