Question

Hello I have a sample set of data in my database:

+-----------+-------------+---------------+-------+
| IDNumber  | SubjectCode | SubjectName   | Grade |
+-----------+-------------+---------------+-------+
| 2012-1234 | IT-101      | Intro to I.T  | 1.75  |
| 2012-1234 | IT-202      | Advanced I.T  | 1.50  |
| 2012-5678 | CS-300      | Haskell Prog. | 1.00  |
+-----------+-------------+---------------+-------+

My problem is how can I automatically create a table in PHP base on their data. Let’s say when I want to search for IDNumber 2012-1234 it will create 4 column and 2 rows automatically and print it in the browswer, the same with IDNumber 2012-5678.

Just give me some hint and I’ll just do the rest. Some help / ideas will be much more appreciated.

Answer 1

$result = $db->query("SELECT * FROM table");
$names_fetched = false;
$row_names = [];
while ($row = $result->fetchAssoc()) {
  if (!$names_fetched) {
     $row_names = array_keys($result); //row titles are here
     $names_fecthed = true;
  }
  //other staff
}
