Displaying data from MySql a different way

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi all,
I'm pretty new to php and MySql and have hit a problem.

I am able to display data in a table using the following code:

<?php
$database="MYDATABASE";
mysql_connect ("localhost", "MYUSERNAME", "MYPASSWORD");
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$result = mysql_query( "SELECT field1, field2, field3 FROM staff WHERE `group` = 'group1' ORDER BY `role` " )
or die("SELECT Error: ".mysql_error());
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
print "There are $num_rows records.<P>";
print "<table width=200 border=1>n";
while ($get_info = mysql_fetch_row($result)){
print "<tr>n";
foreach ($get_info as $field)
print "t<td><font face=arial size=1/>$field</font></td>n";
print "</tr>n";
}
print "</table>n";
?>

However, I would like to display the results using the following format:

<div id="info"><!--this is a div contanier for info"-->
<h1> field1 </h1>
<img src="field2" class="floatLeft" /><p>field3</p>
</div><!--close info div-->

Obviously, if there was more than one row of results, it would repeat the above format for each row.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
