Question

When importing an array of data from a database (i’m using php/mysql), how do I go about styling this information with css? I’m assuming I add html tags to each separate piece of data from the array? but if so at which stage would I assign these tags?

I’m a bit new to php but am ok with css and xhtml.

At the moment my array contains:

Business_Name  |  Address  |  Tel | Service  | Url | Email | Recommendations | Image_Url

Any help would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

try doing a for loop width you array

something like

<?php
  echo "<ul>";
 foreach($array as $arrkey){
     echo "<li>".$arrkey."</li>";   

 }
 echo "</ul>";
?>

and do some css on the <li>.

edit:

 <?php

   $cont=0;

      echo '<ul>';
     foreach($array as $arrkey){
         echo '<li class="yourclass-.$cont.'">'.$arrkey.'</li>';   
        $cont++;
     }
     echo "</ul>";
    ?>

then style each <li>

like

li.yourclass-0{

}
