How do i display a database table in html?

Learn more about PHP and the MySQLi Library at PHP.net.

First, start a connection to the database. Do this by making all the string variables needed in order to connect, adjusting them to fit your environment, then creating a new connection object with new mysqli() and initializing it with the previously made variables as its parameters. Now, check the connection for errors and display a message whether any were found or not. Like this:

";
?>

Next, make a variable that will hold the query as a string, in this case its a select statement with a limit of 100 records to keep the list small. Then, we can execute it by calling the mysqli::query() function from our connection object. Now, it's time to display some data. Start by opening up a

tag through echo, then fetch one row at a time in the form of a numerical array with mysqli::fetch_row() which can then be displayed with a simple for loop. mysqli::field_count should be self explanatory. Don't forget to use for each value, and also to open and close each row with echo"" and echo". Finally we close the table, and the connection as well with mysqli::close().

query($query);
echo "

"; while ($queryRow = $queryResult->fetch_row()) { echo ""; for($i = 0; $i < $queryResult->field_count; $i++){ echo ""; } echo ""; } echo "

$queryRow[$i]

"; $conn->close(); ?>

In this article, we will see how we can display the records in an HTML table by fetching them from the MySQL database using PHP. 

Approach: Make sure you have XAMPP or WAMP server installed on your machine. In this article, we will be using the WAMP server.

WAMP Server is open-source software for the Microsoft Windows operating system, developed by Romain Bourdon. It is composed of an Apache web server, OpenSSL for SSL support, MySQL database and PHP programming language. Here, before going through the program, we need to create a MySQL database in our localhost server. Then, we are supposed to make an HTML table that is linked with PHP codes. PHP is used to connect with the localhost server and to fetch the data from the database table present in our localhost server by evaluating the MySQL queries. WAMP server helps to start Apache and MySQL and connect them with the PHP file. 

Follow the steps given below:

1. Creating Database: First, we will create a database named ‘geeksforgeeks’. You can use your existing database or create a new one.

create database “geeksforgeeks”

2. Create Table: Create a table named ‘userdata’. The table contains four fields:

• username – varchar(100)
• problems – int(11)
• score – int(11)
• articles – int(11)

Your table structure should look like this:

the table structure of “userdata”

Or you can create a table by copying and pasting the following code into the SQL panel of your PHPMyAdmin.

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `userdata` (
 `username` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
 `problems` int(11) NOT NULL,
 `score` int(11) NOT NULL,
 `articles` int(11) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

To do this from the SQL panel refer to the following screenshot:

create a table ‘userdata” from the SQL panel

Insert records: We will now insert some records into our table. Here we are inserting 5 records. You can add multiple records.

Or copy and paste the following code into the SQL panel to insert records in the table.

INSERT INTO `userdata` 
(`username`, `problems`, `score`, `articles`) 
VALUES ('User-2', '100', '75', '30'), ('User-1', '150', '100', '30'), ('User-3', '200', '50', '10'), ('User-4', '50', '5', '2'), ('User-5', '0', '0', '1');

To do this from the SQL panel refer to the following screenshot:

Creating folder and files:

We will now create our project folder named “GeeksForGeeks“. Create an index.php file. Keep your main project folder (for example here.. GeeksForGeeks) in the “C://wamp64/www/”, if you are using WAMP or “C://xampp/htdocs/” folder if you are using the XAMPP server respectively. The folder structure should look like this:

folder structure

Now, we have a database named geeksforgeeks, and a table named userdata. Now, here is the PHP code to fetch data from the database and display it in an HTML table. 

Example: 

php

$user = 'root';

$password = '';

$database = 'geeksforgeeks';

$servername='localhost:3306';

$mysqli = new mysqli($servername, $user,

                $password, $database);

if ($mysqli->connect_error) {

    die('Connect Error (' .

    $mysqli->connect_errno . ') '.

    $mysqli->connect_error);

}

$sql = " SELECT * FROM userdata ORDER BY score DESC ";

$result = $mysqli->query($sql);

$mysqli->close();

?>

"en">

    "UTF-8">

    

    

    

    

        

GeeksForGeeks

        

        

            

                

                

                

                

            

            

            

                while($rows=$result->fetch_assoc())

                {

            ?>

            

                

                

                

                

                

            

            

                }

            ?>

        

GFG UserHandle	Practice Problems	Coding Score	GFG Articles
echo $rows['username'];?>	echo $rows['problems'];?>	echo $rows['score'];?>	echo $rows['articles'];?>

    

Output: Finally, you should be able to display the records in an HTML table by fetching them from the database.
