Question

I have this JavaScript code that creates a table, and puts in the rows and columns.
I want to call this function, based upon some data in a database. So the amount of rows is based upon the amount of data in the database.
My data in my database is a markscheme, I want the the table to fill depending upon the amount of questions are in the database

I have tried and here is my code:

hasLoaded = true;//page loaded set to true

<?php
  $query = "SELECT maxMark, criteria FROM mark ";
  $result = mysql_query($query);

  while ($result != null)
  { 
    addRow();//add row with everything in
  }

Answer 1

The correct answer is json_encode your data from PHP and store it in a JavaScript variable like this.

<?php
  // populate the php rows array
  $rows = array();
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $rows = array_push($rows, $row);
  }
?>
<script>
// populate the javascript rows array
var rows = <?php echo json_encode($rows); ?>;
for (var = 0; i < rows.length; i++) {
   addRow(rows[i]);
}
</script>
