This example use MySQL functions from PHP to display
full MySQL table(every column and every row) as HTML.
| compatible | |
We use following MySQL functions in this example:
- mysql_connect - connects to MySQL server
- mysql_select_db - select database
- mysql_query - send query
- mysql_num_fields - get number of fields
- mysql_fetch_field - get field information
- mysql_query - send query
- mysql_fetch_row - get current row from result table
- mysql_free_result - free result table from memory
You can get help on this functions typing "php function-name" in any good search engine Before using following sample, change varibales ($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd, $database, $table) to
your MySQL / database settings <html><head><title>MySQL Table Viewer</title></head><body>
<?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'root';
$db_pwd = 'lptm42b';
$database = 'sphinx';
$table = 'spheres';
if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
die("Can't connect to database");
if (!mysql_select_db($database))
die("Can't select database");
// sending query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$table}");
if (!$result) {
die("Query to show fields from table failed");
}
$fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result);
echo "<h1>Table: {$table}</h1>";
echo "<table border='1'><tr>";
// printing table headers
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++)
{
$field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
echo "<td>{$field->name}</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
// printing table rows
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
// $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element
// of $row to $cell variable
foreach($row as $cell)
echo "<td>$cell</td>";
echo "</tr>\n";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>

- This example may work wrong with some strange column data (for example, binary BLOB). It show column
