I was wondering how I could add a scroll to my table that is written in the php file. I do not want to write it in a style.css file, I want it directly in the php file. below is my code, but I am not able to make it to work. The table gets content from mySql database, which works. but the problem is that I get to much of content so it fills out the whole page. That is why I want to make it scrollable :
if(mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0){
echo '<table border="1">';
echo "<tr>";
echo "<th>Name</th>";
echo "</tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
If im getting your question right you need to set a width and height then set the overflow-y. This will give you a table set to a certain size with a scroll bar. Note you need to set your own width and height.
echo "<table style=\"width:500px; height:500px; overflow-y:auto\">";
