Echo Table Problem

Question

I have a php script that echoes results from a search. Generally I have no problem getting the results in a table but for some reason I can't get these scripts to do that. I figure its a small error. I'm going to put in the code but if you want to just suggest a good editor (as I am new to php) that would be helpful. Thanks.

<?php
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
  if(isset($_GET['go'])){
  if(preg_match("/^[  a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $_POST['search'])){
  $search=$_POST['search'];
  
  $db=mysql_connect  ("connection info") or die ('I cannot connect to the database  because: ' . mysql_error());
 
  $mydb=mysql_select_db("database name");
  
  $sql="SELECT  OrderID, Customer, Address, City, State, ZipCode, Telephone, ServiceCategory, DateCall, WStatus FROM C WHERE OrderID LIKE '%" . $search .  "%' OR Customer LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR Address LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR City LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR State LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR ZipCode LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR Telephone LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR ServiceCategory LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR DateCall LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR WStatus LIKE '%" . $search ."%'";
  
 $result=mysql_query($sql);
{
if (mysql_num_rows($result)>1) {

echo "<table border='1'>  
<tr>
<th>Order ID</th>
<th>Customer</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>State</th>
<th>Zip Code</th>
<th>Telephone</th>
<th>Service Category</th>
<th>Date of Call</th>
<th>Order Status</th>
</tr>";  
}
  while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
       echo "<tr>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['OrderID'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['Customer'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['Address'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['City'] . "</a></td>"; 
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['State'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['ZipCode'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['Telephone'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['ServiceCategory'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['DateCall'] . "</a></td>";
  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['WStatus'] . "</a></td>";  
  echo "</tr>";  
    
}
}
echo "</table>";
if(mysql_num_rows($result)==0){
  echo "<p><a href='aworkorder.html'> No record Found. Add Work Order</a>"; }
  }
  else{
  echo  "<p>Please enter a search query</p>";
  }
  }
  }
mysql_close($db);
?>

I think it's something simple but I figured I'd just ask for some help rather than continue bashing my head against a wall...Thanks

The table is not printing. The result is just displayed as one long hyperlink.

An editor that looks for minor problems like if you have a { but no }.

what problem you have??, i can't understand what you want ??
which kind of editor??

try this and i think you need a best editor, cause you mismatched the parentheses braces

<?php
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
  if(isset($_GET['go'])){
  if(preg_match("/^[  a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $_POST['search'])){
  $search=$_POST['search'];
  
  $db=mysql_connect  ("connection info") or die ('I cannot connect to the database  because: ' . mysql_error());
 
  $mydb=mysql_select_db("database name");
  
  $sql="SELECT  OrderID, Customer, Address, City, State, ZipCode, Telephone, ServiceCategory, DateCall, WStatus FROM C WHERE OrderID LIKE '%" . $search .  "%' OR Customer LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR Address LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR City LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR State LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR ZipCode LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR Telephone LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR ServiceCategory LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR DateCall LIKE '%" . $search ."%' OR WStatus LIKE '%" . $search ."%'";
  
 $result=mysql_query($sql);
//{
	if (mysql_num_rows($result)>1) {

	echo "<table border='1'>  
	<tr>
	<th>Order ID</th>
	<th>Customer</th>
	<th>Address</th>
	<th>City</th>
	<th>State</th>
	<th>Zip Code</th>
	<th>Telephone</th>
	<th>Service Category</th>
	<th>Date of Call</th>
	<th>Order Status</th>
	</tr>";  
	//}
		  while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
			   echo "<tr>";
				  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['OrderID'] . "</a></td>";
				  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['Customer'] . "</a></td>";
				  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['Address'] . "</a></td>";
				  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['City'] . "</a></td>"; 
				  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['State'] . "</a></td>";

				  echo "<td><a href='http://websitename.com/admin/workorder/link.php?OrderID=" . $row['OrderID'] . "'>" . $row['WStatus'] . "</a></td>";  
				  echo "</tr>";  
			
		}

		echo "</table>";

mark solved if you find.

ptara1 0 Junior Poster in Training · Answer 6 · 2011-02-26T02:14:39+00:00

Thanks for your help but the solution did not have to do with brackets. The problem was with the if statement at this:

if (mysql_num_rows($result)>1)

it should be

if (mysql_num_rows($result)>0)

Do I get points for solving my own thread? LOL. But seriously thanks for your help!

mark solved if you find.
