If it was me I'd be doing a "view source" on the displayed page and comparing what it looks like to what you thought your php page was supposed to generate. In these cases I sometimes find that I haven't taken the data being displayed into account and other times it's because the program flow interrupts things like closing table cells and rows.

Still have the same problem. Certainly sounds that way, however, I have built exceedingly complex pages with tables nested, on one occasion to about four or five levels, and the page doesn't fail to render correctly in multiple versions of multiple browsers on multiple machines. In almost every case of "odd" results it's been a code layout problem that resulted in an html element not having an appropriate closing tag or it's been due to the data itself - with the data keep in mind that an unfortunately placed quote, greater than, less than or some other characters can have an effect on rendering your page in html. Pick a page that doesn't view "right" then view it's source. Examine the source to see why it's not right - what did it do, what code isn't right? Then compare the place where the final html isn't right with the relevant part of your php source to see why it would happen - how it would get from the php version to the browsed html version. Once you look at that specific area you'll be closer to working out what is going on. CYA, Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RE: [PHP] Create table with varying results
My testing was on a Win box with apache/php and browser was ie5.5 - I
haven't uploaded the test code to any of my lamp boxes to check it there
but don't believe it would matter if I did.
> Here is the source for the page:
Before testing your code I did make changes, I'll note them as we go...
> print " id='AutoNumber2' style='border-collapse: collapse'
bgcolor='#FF'>";
You may find compressing a lot of this to a style sheet will aid
readability. It is also not necessary to put quotes around only numbers
(ie. Border=2 is valid but width="97%" is needed - for 'correct' html
anyway - various browser will figure such things out).
print "";

OK, my preference is to use:
while($i < $number)
{
}
So that's what I changed the test code to.
> print "";
> print " $i++;
> endwhile;
On mine it's a '}' to finish the while loop.
I've reloaded it about ten or fifteen times with the exact same result
each time.
FWIW here's the code that's working here (I stripped out the cell
formatting stuff just to make it fit in an email better - but it works
here with your formatting in place).

RE: [PHP] Create table with varying results
Tim,
I had a look in both IE first it showed the table fine even after refreshing
4 or 5 times & scrolling down, there was a script exicution error (script
look longer than 30 secs) then loaded it in Netscape and table didn't
show at all... I'd try initally just grabbing the table part and getting
that happening with just pure html with some data in manually put in there
.. I'd try to get the table lay out right before including php I had a
similar problem and found was because it didn't like the html out put was
being sent by php.
cheers

Hi Miguel,
Thanks for looking. It may take three or four times at most. I don't know
if you scrolled the table each time but it is random and sometimes not
apparent but here is the contents of an e-mail address cell at line 433.

Other "e-mail" cells have department it them.
I have tried on two different w2k machines with IE and Netscape.
Thanks anyway.

Re: [PHP] Create table with varying results
Like John, I tried several times (both Mac and Windows IE) and never got
anything funny. How many times do you usually have to refresh before you
see the problem? (I think I viewed it 4 times).

RE: [PHP] Create table with varying results
I looked at it and hit refresh a few times and never saw anything odd.
IE 6.0 on Win2K
Most of the time if a table is messing up, it's because things are being
put between the or tags. What the browser will usually do is
take all of that stuff that's between the tags, which it can't display
there, and put it all at the beginning of the table. Look for anything
like that.

Re: [PHP] Create table with varying results
Hi Miguel, The errors appear to be the result of strings not terminating properly from the PHP output. Then partial HTML code is inserted in cells or at the top of the table. I have stripped everything out and am now just creating a loop to build a table and still get the same errors. I have checked it with IE 5.5, IE 6, NS 4.78 and NS6.2.2 all with the same type of errors. Here is a link to the page that creates the table: http://www.coloradowinware.com/sample/error/sample.php Depending on your connection speed it may take a few seconds, it is generating 650 rows. You may need to refresh a couple of times to see the errors. Some times there is text printed above the table and sometimes there is partial html in table cells and other times there may be colored cells. Here is the source for the page: Thanks for your help. PHP Test "; print ""; print " "; print "Name"; print "Phone"; print "E-Mail"; print "Department"; print " "; print ""; //end print header row $i=0; $number = 650; while ($i < $number) : $name = "Fred Flintstone"; $email = "My Mail"; $department = "Department"; print ""; print "" . $i .

Re: [PHP] Create table with varying results
What is the specific nature of the errors in the HTML? Are random characters missing/inserted, or does it look like something that could happen as a result of unexpected program behavior at a higher level? miguel On Thu, 23 May 2002, Tim Greenleaf wrote: > The source HTML (PHP Output) is sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect > with the exact same script and SQL statement.

Re: [PHP] Create table with varying results
The source HTML (PHP Output) is sometimes correct and sometimes incorrect with the exact same script and SQL statement. The table is very basic. I thought maybe I had some problems with formatting variables in the HTML so I took all the formatting out of the script so it is really basic now and still have the same problem. I also thought maybe there were issues with the data...i.e. with nulls and non-alpha-numeric characters. I cleaned all the data so there is no null data and all characters are alpha-numeric. Still have the same problem. Very strange.

Re: [PHP] Create table with varying results
Are you using Internet Explorer for Windows to view the HTML? It has some rendering problems with complex tables that result in very erratic behavior in certain circumstances (which I have yet to understand). View the page in another browser, or better yet, view the source code. That's a better way to determine whether or not your program is generating the correct data. miguel On Thu, 23 May 2002, Tim Greenleaf wrote: > I have a search page that creates a dynamic table of results from MS SQL > Server.
