Question

I’m trying to do the following. This does not work. But how can I get it to work? I want to make a table populate with a php loop.

echo "<table>";
echo    "<thead>";
echo        "<tr>";
echo            "<th scope=\"col\"> Column1 </th>";
echo            "<th scope=\"col\"> Column2 </th>";
echo            "<th scope=\"col\"> Column3 </th>";
echo        "</tr>";
echo    "</thead>";
echo    <tbody>
echo        <tr>
echo            <?php while($row = MySQL_fetch_array($result)) { ?>
echo                <?php $link = $row['mirlyn'];?>
echo                <td><?php echo(htmlentities($row['data1'])); ?></td>
echo                <td><?php echo(htmlentities($row['data2'])); ?></td>
echo                <td><?php echo(htmlentities($row['data3'])); ?></td>
echo            <?php}?>
echo        </tr>               
echo    </tbody>
echo "</table>";

Break out out php and just write the HTML like you normally would. When you need to output something in PHP, open a tag and do what you need to do

i.e.

<table>
    <tr><?php echo $something ?></tr>
</table>
