Question

How would you echo out a MySQL table into a html table. Like phpMyAdmin shows a table, just a basic table structure with the name of the fields and all the records in that table.

Any help would be appreciated

This code show the a dinamic table with all the field and all the rows returned from a query…

This works for all pourpose you need

• list all tables
• show table field description

• show all table rows

  <?php
   // list all the table in database
   $result = mysql_query("show tables");
   // show all the field with type, lenght,description of a specific table
   $result = mysql_query("DESCRIBE table_name");
   // show a specific tables row 
   $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table_name");
   if (mysql_num_rows($result)>0){
   $r = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC);
   $table="<table><tr>";
   $firstLine="<tr>";
   foreach ($r as $k => $v){
     $table .="<td>".$k."</td>";
     $firstLine .="<td>".$v."</td>";
   }
   $table.="</tr>".$firstLine."</tr>";
   while($r = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC)){
     $table.="<tr>";
     foreach($r as $k => $v)
       $table.="<td>".$v."</td>";
     $table.="</tr>";
   }
    $table .="</table>";
   echo $table;
  }
  ?>
