Question

I’m trying to display ul>li list using PHP while loop and MYSQL.
My database ‘company’ has table ‘news’ with 2 columns ‘ id & content’.

The while loop works correctly it is returning two 'li' = as there are two rows in the table.

But, instate of data from the table something like this $indx." - ".$ID." ".$CONTENT." is inserted in each ‘li’.

My while loop:

    $readNews_SQLselect = "SELECT  ";
    $readNews_SQLselect .= "id, content ";  // rows names
    $readNews_SQLselect .= "FROM ";
    $readNews_SQLselect .= "news ";         // table name


    $readNews_SQLselect_Query = mysql_query($readNews_SQLselect);   

    $indx = 1;  
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($readNews_SQLselect_Query, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
        $ID = $row['id'];
        $CONTENT = $row['content'];



        echo '<li>$indx." - ".$ID." ".$CONTENT."</li>';

        $indx++;

    }

    mysql_free_result($readNews_SQLselect_Query);   

I’m 99% sure is the syntax issue with echo '<li>$indx." - ".$ID." ".$CONTENT."</li>';.

Answer 1

replace

'<li>$indx." - ".$ID." ".$CONTENT."</li>';

with:

'<li>'. $indx .' - ' . $ID .' ' . $CONTENT . '</li>';

EDIT 1

or with:

"<li>$indx - $ID $CONTENT</li>";
