Question

I have a table called table1 in mysql. I want to output it all, each row on a separate line. It has 4 columns, id,a,b,c.

Whats the shortest php code to just get it all out? I’m up to here:

$a=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table1");
$b=mysql_fetch_assoc($a);

…what next?

What if their are an unknown number of columns?

Answer 1

$a=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($a)){
  echo $row['id'].$row['a'].$row['b'].$row['c'].'<br />';
}

Update in relation to this questions comment:

$a=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table1");
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($a)){
  foreach($row as $value)
    echo $value;
  echo '<br />';
}
