I have put together a basic order list for admin users in php for checking order contents placed by logged in users.
The aim of this script is to retrieve the order details (item, quantity, price) as well as the user’s first name and surname (where ‘Order for:’ is).
The script below does everything ok in that it retrieves the order (and orders if there are more than one) and it’s/their item, quantity and price.
However, it doesn’t display the user’s name and surname.
I know the problem is that where I am trying to display the name is outside the while loop but Im a little stuck in where it should sit. Any suggestions? Code is below:
<?php
$page_title = 'View Individual Order';
include ('includes/header.html');
// Check for a valid user ID, through GET or POST.
if ( (isset($_GET['id'])) && (is_numeric($_GET['id'])) )
{ // Accessed through view_users.php
$id = $_GET['id'];
} elseif ( (isset($_POST['id'])) && (is_numeric($_POST['id'])) )
{ // Form has been submitted.
$id = $_POST['id'];
} else { // No valid ID, kill the script.
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Page Error</h1>
<p class="error">This page has been accessed in error.</p><p><br /><br /></p>';
include ('./includes/header.html');
exit();
}
?>
<h1>Order Details</h1>
<?php
require_once ('database.php'); // Connect to the db.
// Retrieve the user's, order and product information.
$query = "SELECT us.users_id, us.users_sales_id, us.users_first_name, us.users_surname, us.users_dealer_name,
ord.order_id, ord.users_id, ord.total, ord.order_date,
oc.oc_id, oc.order_id, oc.products_id, oc.quantity, oc.price,
prd.products_id, prd.products_name, prd.price
FROM users AS us, orders AS ord, order_contents AS oc, products AS prd
WHERE ord.order_id=$id
AND us.users_id = ord.users_id
AND ord.order_id = oc.order_id
AND oc.products_id = prd.products_id
";
$result = mysql_query ($query) or die(mysql_error());
if (mysql_num_rows($result)) { // Valid user ID, show the form.
echo '<p>Order for:<strong>' . $row[2] . ' ' . $row[3] . ' </strong> </p>
<table border="0" style="font-size:11px;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="5">
<tr class="top">
<td align="left"><b>Product</b></td>
<td align="center"><b>Price</b></td>
<td align="center"><b>Qty</b></td>
</tr>';
$bg = '#dddddd'; // Set the background color.
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) { // WHILE loop start
$bg = ($bg=='#eaeced' ? '#dddddd' : '#eaeced');
echo '<tr bgcolor="' . $bg . '">';
echo '<td align="left">' . $row[15] . '</td>
<td align="center">' . $row[13] . ' pts</td>
<td align="center">' . $row[12] . '</td>
</tr>';
echo '';
}// end of WHILE loop
echo '</table>
<p> Here:</p>
<br><br>
<p><a href="view-all-orders.php"> << Back to Orders</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
';
} else { // Not a valid user ID.
echo '<h1 id="mainhead">Page Error</h1>
<p class="error">This page has been accessed in error.</p><p><br /><br /></p>';
}
mysql_close(); // Close the database connection.
?>
<p>Footer here</p>
<?php
include ('./includes/footer_admin_user.html'); // Include the HTML footer.
?>
One way you could do it is grab the row first, and then use a do/while loop instead of just a basic while loop. Like this:
