Another question in general PHP syntax.

I have the following PHP page in a module I am developing and can't seem to find why this page doesn't display the rows. It is a medal page for all the medals and awards listed in my database.

Here is the site.

Here is the code for this part of the page:

// Header row for table format
  echo"<tr>";
  echo"<td align=\"left\" bgcolor=\"#999999\">";
  echo"<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" ";
  echo"width=\"100%\" id=\"AutoNumber2\" bordercolor=\"#111111\">";
  echo "<table border=0 width='100%' cellpadding='3'><tr><th width='100%'>3rd ID Medals</th>";
  echo "<table border=0 width='100%' cellpadding='3'><tr><th width='15%'>Image</th><th width='25%'><b>Name</b></th><th width='60%'>Description</th>";
  echo "</tr>";

$sql = "SELECT award_id, award_image, award_name, description FROM roster_awards ORDER BY award_id";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) ) {
   extract($row);   
            
$ai = "<img src='modules/MILPACS/images/medals/award_image'>";

// Populate award page from database
  echo"<td width=\"15%\" align=\"left\">$ai</td></td>";
  echo"<td width=\"15%\" align=\"left\">$award_name</td>";
  echo"<td width=\"70%\" align=\"left\">$description</td>";
  echo"</TR>";
           }         
  echo"</BODY>";
  echo"</TABLE>";
  echo""; 
  CloseTable();
  include("footer.php");
  ?>

Try commenting out the extract function. And using strings.

$ai = $row['ai'];
etc...

Try this one:


     // Header row for table format
     echo "<tr>";
     echo "<td align=\"left\" bgcolor=\"#999999\">";
     echo "<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" ";
     echo "width=\"100%\" id=\"AutoNumber2\" bordercolor=\"#111111\">";
     echo "<table border=0 width='100%' cellpadding='3'><tr><th width='100%'>3rd ID Medals</th>";
     echo "<table border=0 width='100%' cellpadding='3'><tr><th width='15%'>Image</th><th width='25%'><b>Name</b></th><th width='60%'>Description</th>";
     echo "</tr>";
     $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT award_image, award_name, description FROM roster_awards ORDER BY award_id");
     while(list($ai, $aname, $desc) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
     //$ai = "<img src='modules/MILPACS/images/medals/award_image'>";
     // Populate award page from database
     //You forgot a < TR >
     echo "<TR>";
     echo "<td width=\"15%\" align=\"left\">$ai</td>";
     echo "<td width=\"15%\" align=\"left\">$aname</td>";
     echo "<td width=\"70%\" align=\"left\">$descr</td>";
     echo "</TR>";
     }         
     echo "</BODY>";
     echo "</TABLE>";
     CloseTable();
     include("footer.php");


And global $db.

Well made some progress, but images are still not showing up.
[ Register or login to view links on this board. ]

Here is a code snippet for one of the classes of medals. Each one is identical, just different award_class

// Header row for Individual Medal table
     echo "<tr>";
     echo "<td align=\"left\" bgcolor=\"#333333\">";
     echo "<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse\" ";
     echo "width=\"100%\" id=\"AutoNumber2\" bordercolor=\"#111111\">";
     echo "<table border=0 width='100%' cellpadding='3'><tr><th width='100%'>Individual Medals</th>";
     echo "<table border=0 width='100%' cellpadding='3'><tr><th width='15%'>Image</th><th width='25%'><b>Name</b></th><th width='60%'>Description</th>";
     echo "</tr>";

     $result = $db->sql_query("SELECT award_image, award_name, award_description, award_class FROM roster_awards WHERE award_class = 'IM' ORDER BY award_id");
     while(list($ai, $aname, $descr) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result)) {
     $ai = "<img src='modules/MILPACS/images/medals/award_image'>";
     // Populate award page from database    
     echo "<TR>";
     echo "<td width=\"20%\" align=\"left\">$ai</td>";
     echo "<td width=\"20%\" align=\"left\">$aname</td>";
     echo "<td width=\"60%\" align=\"left\">$descr</td>";
     echo "</TR>";
     }         
     echo "</BODY>";
     echo "</TABLE>";


Need to get my images to display.

Got the last one figured out, now another one for you.

Why wont these display.

. "            <b><font color=\"#000000\">Unit Personnel</font></b>"
  . "         </td>"
  . "      </tr>   <tr>"
  . "      <td align=\"left\" bgcolor=\"#777777\" valign=\"top\" width=\"741\">"
  . "         <table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"100%\" bordercolor=\"#111111\">"
  . "            <tr>"
  . "      <td width=\"13%\">"
  . "         <b><font color=\"#000000\">Rank</font></b>"
  . "      </td>"
  . "      <td width=\"87%\">"
  . "         <b><font color=\"#000000\">Name</font></b>"
  . "      </td>"
  . "   </tr>";
   //returns all units personnel assigned to the chosen platoon
   $unit_id = $_GET['unit_id'];
   $sql = "SELECT rm.u_handle, rm.unit_id, rr.rankname, FROM roster_members rm, roster_ranks rr WHERE rm.unit_id = '$unit_id'";
   $result = $db->sql_query($sql);
   while ( $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) ) {
   extract($row);

  echo "   <tr>";
  echo "      <td width=\"13%\">";
  echo "         <b><font color=\"#000000\">$rankname</font></b>";
  echo "      </td>";
  echo "      <td width=\"87%\">";
  echo "         <b><font color=\"#000000\">$u_handle</font></b>";
  echo "      </td>";
  echo "   </tr>";   
   }
  echo "</table>";
  echo "</table>";
  echo "</body>";
  echo "</html>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
?>


It is the last part of my Unit Profile page that lists assigned members.
