Re: Create break in html table

Easy if you use loops to display the info, but i can't suggest anything because i don't realy know your code.

Re: Create break in html table

Hi George,

Thanks you for the reply.

I am not sure to the code either - I am going through a trail and process method of cut and paste with help from people like yourselves.

I can copy what I think is the code for you and it is this

$quey1="select * from _Form_Nr_3 ORDER BY `i_wish_to_play` ASC, `surname` ASC ";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Please let me know if this not be the case

Re: Create break in html table

No, i mean the code that creates the table and displays the content.

Further more your page doesn't connect anymore to the database (it did, yesterday that i looked)

Re: Create break in html table

Hi George,

I have used an html block to create this page and made the changes last night to get it to do what you can currently see at www.gnjgf.co.za/testconcat.php

Hence me sorting it in order of tournaments - it is really a follow on form my CONCAT exercise if that helps but I copy the other side that I think you are requesting

$quey1="select * from _Form_Nr_3 ORDER BY `i_wish_to_play` ASC, `surname` ASC ";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Re: Create break in html table

Hi George,

I see what you mean by server connection.

Strange as I know it worked late last night and havent changed anyting in that regard

All the passwords are as we set them previously.

I hope this is not to much of a problem - I see it affects all the pages relating to the server and databases

Re: Create break in html table

Hi George,

I dont know whats going on but when I go to cpanel the following errror is found:

#2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)

It seems as if all my databases are not there.

Do you have advice on how I can get them back and how they could have been removed.

I havent change any configuration and maybe they are working on the servers?

Ideas in tis regard are welcome

Re: Create break in html table

Hi George,

I can only sumise they are working on the server as it is now back to normal.

A bit of a shock - what happens if the server is down -my system then doesnt work.

I guess there must be a way to ensure I dont loose info - backup - to where and how do i go about this process?

Anyway the main thing is we are back and I can see the data.

Re: Create break in html table

The following code should work though i haven't tested it. As you can see you must remove the entire part that creates the headings, as i have moved it in the loop.

$quey1="select * from _Form_Nr_3 ORDER BY `i_wish_to_play` ASC, `surname` ASC ";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());
?>

Re: Create break in html table

Hi George,

Thanks again.

It works great - I will now look at a way in which the break line does not show a an open line with no values.

And get the headings to veiw as per the tournament description.

I am beginging to understand more and more as I work with things but as I also see lots and lots of time.

Thanks very much very your time

Re: Create break in html table

Simple:

$quey1="select * from _Form_Nr_3 ORDER BY `i_wish_to_play` ASC, `surname` ASC ";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());

Re: Create break in html table

Re: Create break in html table

Thanks again,

Good progress.

The page shows good - it is just the heading lines that are now also showing the background - whereas its is the blank line / break that I wanted like the background.

The break line is good - just the heading line should be as normal table.
