Hi.
I have a html seach form and a php page. basically a user can enter the column name selections in the search boxes and select the relevent columns from the database. the data is returned dynamically to a table with mysql_fetch_array but I would like the column names from the database displayed at the top of returned table.
thanks
//index.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Search the Database</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="search_column.php" method="post">
<br />
Search ID1: <input type="text" name="column1" /><br />
Search ID2: <input type="text" name="column2" /><br />
Search ID3: <input type="text" name="column3" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
//search_column.php
<?php
require_once('includes/connection.inc.php');
$column1 = $_POST['column1'];
$column2 = $_POST['column2'];
$column3 = $_POST['column3'];
$qry=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable", $con);
echo "<table border='3' width = '150'>";
echo "<tr> </tr>";
/* Fetching the data */
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($qry))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$row{$column1}. "<br></td>";
echo "<td>".$row{$column2}. "<br></td>";
echo "<td>".$row{$column3}. "<br></td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
print( '<a href=index.html>Go back to search</a>' );
?>
