[PHP] Create a table with more than 1 column

2001-12-27 Thread Rodrigo Peres

Hi list,

I am in a big trouble. My deadline is coming and I couldn't solve my problem
yet! I have this script that outputs a table that can be seen at
http://www.celebnet.com.br/abc.php

$ultletra = '';
$row = '';
while($resultado = $query-dados()) {
$curletra = $resultado['letra'];
if($curletra != $ultletra) {
if (!empty($row)) {
   $row .= /tr\n;
}
$row .= tr\ntd\nimg src=\img/letras/$curletra.gif\
width=\24\ height=\24\\n/td\n/tr\n;
}
$row .= tda
href=\interna.php?cat=$resultado[Nome_Categoria]celebID=$resultado[CelebID
]\.$resultado['Nome_Artistico']./a/td\n;
$ultletra = $curletra;
}
if (!empty($row)) {
   $row .= tr\n;
}

SQL is:

SELECT 
categorias.Nome_Categoria,celebridades.CelebID,celebridades.Nome_Artistico,
lcase(left(Nome_Artistico,1)) as letra FROM categorias LEFT JOIN
celebridades ON categorias.CategoriaID=celebridades.Categoria  WHERE
CategoriaID='1' ORDER BY Nome_Artistico

My problem is that I need to modify the script to output a 3 column table. I
have tried everything but nothing works, and I've tried also all url about
PHP that i could found. Please I'll appreciate any help.

Thank's in advance and happy new year to all!!!

Rodrigo,

Nice looking page. I'm not going to try and fix your logic, because you've approached 
it somewhat 
differently than I would. Here's my logic or pseudocode ...

Set max_columns to 3
Set a letter variable
While I have results
   While column_count is less than max_columns or letter is the same as old_letter
  Create a cell, fill it with data, echo it to screen
  Increment the column counter
  Set old_letter to this letter
   Otherwise
  Close the row, echo it
  Start a new row, echo it
  Reset column counter
  Set a letter variable

That's roughly it. I've skipped putting in the cell for the letter graphic, you may 
want to do that in the Otherwise block. I've also skipped creation of the initial row, 
which 
would be done outside the while loop.

I know this can be improved upon to make it more robust, but let's hope it gets you 
to your goal.

Merry Christmas - Miles Thompson

I would have done it a different way, but it would look something like that
this code has not been tested and is guaranteed to have bugs :) but it just
to get you started on a different approach.




$ultletra = '';
$row = 'tr';
while($resultado = $query-dados()) {
$curletra = $resultado['letra'];
if($counter++%3==0) {
$row .= /trtr\n;
 }
$row .= sprintf(\ntd\nimg src=\img/letras/%s.gif\ width=\24\
height=\24\\n/td,$curletra);
$row .= sprintf(tda
 
href=\interna.php?cat=%scelebID=%s\%s/a/td\n,urlencode($resultado[N
ome_Categoria]),urlecode($resultado[CelebI
D ]),$resultado['Nome_Artistico']) ;
 }

while($counter++%30)
$row .= sprintf(tdnbsp;/tdtdnbsp;/td);
$row.=/tr;

Re: [PHP] Create a table with more than 1 column

2001-12-27 Thread David Jackson

Rodrigo ---
This is really an SQL question, not an PHP one? 
What database are you using? On what OS?
For MySQL check this link: 
http://www.mysql.com/doc/A/N/ANSI_diff_SELECT_INTO_TABLE.html

If your running on a Unix server, and is something that runs on a regular
basis (say hourly or daily), you could use a simple shell script and
run it as a cron job.

Hope this helps,
David Jackson
