I am trying to figure out how to use this in a loop. Any help will be appreciated.
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "some_user", "password");
if (!$conn) {
echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
if (!mysql_select_db("some_db")) {
echo "Unable to select mydbname: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
$sql = "SELECT favid FROM ajaxfavourites";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
if (!$result) {
echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();
exit;
}
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["favid"];
}
mysql_free_result($result);
Currently it displays results as:
116677889922
I need them to show them as (the way they are displayed in DB):
1166
7788
9922
PS I am aware that this function is deprecated, I am just trying to fix one of my older sites.
choose One of these ways:
echo $row["favid"]."<br>";
echo $row["favid"]."
";
echo $row["favid"].PHP_EOL;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["favid"];
echo "
";
}
You can simply echo the value with '<br/>'
or '<p>'
like following:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo $row["favid"] . '<br/>';
}
OR
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo '<p>' . $row["favid"] . '</p>';
}
Also you can just put all favid into array and then in another loop, can customize how to show them, like following:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$ids[] = $row["favid"];
}
foreach($ids AS $idv) {
echo '<p>' . $idv . '</p>';
}
