Question

Been researching this for an hour. I give up. I’m trying to create an array after populating the array from a MySQL table.

I then want to output the array text elements across the top of a table (table headings)

$sqlRotations="SELECT id, rotationName FROM sched_rotations";
$resultRotations=mysql_query($sqlRotations);
$arrayRotations = array();
while($row_Rotation=mysql_fetch_assoc($resultRotations)){ 
  $arrayRotations[]=$row_Rotation;
} 

…then I’m trying to print out the “rotationName” as table column headings:

<table>
<tr>
<?
foreach( $arrayRotations as $key => $value){
echo "<td>Id: $key, Rotation:". $arrayRotations[$value]." </td>";
}
?>
</tr>

Unfortunately, this gives me the following output in < t d > format:

Id: 0, Rotation: Id: 1, Rotation: Id: 2, Rotation: Id: 3, Rotation: Id: 4, Rotation: Id: 5, Rotation: Id: 6, Rotation: Id: 7, Rotation: Id: 8, Rotation: Id: 9, Rotation: Id: 10, Rotation:

---

Furthermore if I change the for key value echo to this:

foreach( $arrayRotations as $key => $value){
echo "<td>Id: $key, Rotation:". $value." </td>";

}

then I get this output:

Id: 0, Rotation:Array Id: 1, Rotation:Array Id: 2, Rotation:Array Id: 3, Rotation:Array Id: 4, Rotation:Array Id: 5, Rotation:Array Id: 6, Rotation:Array Id: 7, Rotation:Array Id: 8, Rotation:Array Id: 9, Rotation:Array Id: 10, Rotation:Array

Answer 1

Is this what you are looking for?

<table>
<tr>
<th>Id</th>
<th>Rotation</th>
</tr>
<?php 
foreach($arrayRotations as $rotation)
{
   printf("<tr><td>%s</td> <td>%s</td></tr>", $rotation['id'], $rotation['rotationName');
}
?>
</table>
