Im sorry if this has been answered before but I am new to PHP and MySQL and I can't figure this out.
Pretty much every time I alter my code to include an array I get a fatal error. What I am trying to do is display all the data in 3 columns from my table.
I have my site set up where you log in and I store that user's name as a "code" in a session. I have a table that has multiple user form entries that are differentiated by the user's code because in my form, I grab the code as a hidden field and add it to the entry in the table.
So far I have been able to isolate those entries by the users code, in one column I have the sum of all of the user's numerical data and I am able to echo this as a total.
I want the other 3 columns to display all the values in their columns and for each value have a line break in between them. And I am trying to print or echo these results in specific parts on a confirmation page.
I have seen examples with PDO using fetch_all and other examples of storing arrays but I can't seem to figure it out with my existing code.
Here is my existing code:
<?php
$user = *****;
$pass = *****;
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=*****', $user, $pass);
$stmt = $dbh->prepare("SELECT sum(price),part_number,location,price FROM products WHERE code = :usercode");
$stmt->bindParam(':usercode', $_SESSION['MM_Username']);
if ($stmt->execute()) {
$user = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}
?>
And here is where I want to display the results:
<table style="margin:0 auto;" cellspacing="7" width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $user['part_number']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><?php echo $user['location']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><?php echo $user['price']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><?php echo "Total:", $user['sum(price)']; ?><br></td><!--this is ok-->
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
Change to this
<? echo
to
<?php echo
Try this:
...
$keys = array_keys($user);
foreach ($keys as $k) :
?>
<td><?= $user[$k]?></td>
<?php endforeach?>
Try like this:
<table style="margin:0 auto;" cellspacing="7" width="100%">
<tbody>
if ($stmt->execute()) {
while($user = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC )){
<tr>
<td><? echo $user['part_number']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><? echo $user['location']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><? echo $user['price']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><? echo "Total:", $user['sum(price)']; ?><br></td><!--this is ok-->
</tr>
}
}
</tbody>
</table>
<table>
<tbody>
if ($stmt->execute()) {
while($user = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC )){
<tr>
<td><?php echo $user['part_number']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><?php echo $user['location']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><?php echo $user['price']; ?></td><!--all column values-->
<td><?php echo "Total:", $user['sum(price)']; ?><br></td><!--this is ok-->
</tr>
}
}
</tbody>
</table>
There are a few things in your question that jumped out at me.
fetch
), write code so that you're simply iterating over an array.Based on those, I have the following solution that
money_format
to better display prices
<?php
function getTotalPriceForUser(PDO $database_handler, $user_code)
{
// If no rows are returned, COALESCE is used so that we can specify a default
// value. In this particular case, if there aren't any products that would
// match, we'd still get a result with a value of 0.
$sql = 'SELECT COALESCE(SUM(price), 0) FROM products WHERE code = ?';
$stmt = $database_handler->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute(array($user_code));
// This fetches the first row of the result; the result is given as an array with numerical keys.
$result = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_NUM);
// [0] refers to the first column
return $result[0];
}
function getProductsForUser(PDO $database_handler, $user_code)
{
$sql = 'SELECT part_number, location, price FROM products WHERE code = ?';
$stmt = $database_handler->prepare($sql);
$stmt->execute(array($user_code));
// fetchAll returns all rows, with each row being an associative array (where part_number, location and price are the keys)
return $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
}
// Set up the database information
$user = '*****';
$pass = '*****';
$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=localhost;dbname=*****', $user, $pass);
// money_format to use the below money formatting; this makes sure there's a dollar sign to represent USD, for example
setlocale(LC_MONETARY, 'en_US.UTF-8');
// Store $_SESSION['MM_Username'] in a local variable
$user_code = $_SESSION['MM_Username'];
// Get the list of products associated with this user code
$products = getProductsForUser($dbh, $user_code);
// Get the total cost of the products
$total_cost = getTotalPriceForUser($dbh, $user_code);
?>
<table style="margin:0 auto;" cellspacing="7" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Part Number</th>
<th>Location</th>
<th>Cost</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tfoot>
<tr>
<td style="text-align: right" colspan="2">Total:</td>
<td style="text-align: right; border-top: 1px solid #999"><?= money_format('%.2n', $total_cost) ?></td>
</tr>
</tfoot>
<tbody>
<?php foreach($products as $product): ?>
<tr>
<td><?= $product['part_number'] ?></td>
<td><?= $product['location'] ?></td>
<td style="text-align: right"><?= money_format('%.2n', $product['price']) ?></td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</tbody>
