php query headers

  #1  
May 6th, 2008
Hey All,

I have a simple query form that displays from a mysql database, a list of names and phone numbers. What i'd like is a column heading at the top of the page but I can't seem to figure out how to put it in there. Here is my code so far:
<?php 

// set database server access variables: 
$host = "localhost"; 
$user = "user"; 
$pass = "password"; 
$db = "phonebook"; 

$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!"); 

mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to select database!"); 

$query = "SELECT * FROM people ORDER BY fname ASC"; 

// execute query 
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. ".mysql_error()); 

// see if any rows were returned 
if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { 
    // yes 
    // print them one after another 
    echo "<table cellpadding=10 border=0>"; 
    while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) {
	    echo "<tr>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[1]."</td>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[2]."</td>"; 
        echo "<td>".$row[3]."</td>";
        echo "<td>".$row[4]."</td>";
        echo "<td>".$row[5]."</td>";
        echo "<td>".$row[6]."</td>";
        echo "<td>".$row[7]."</td>";
        echo "</tr>"; 
    } 
    echo "</table>"; 
} 
else { 
    // no 
    // print status message 
    echo "No rows found!"; 
} 

// free result set memory 
mysql_free_result($result); 

// close connection 
mysql_close($connection); 

?> 
I don't want to use the actual table names because they are abbreviated, ie fname = First Name. But I do want to let the viewer know what each of the columns are. How can I do this.

Thanks.
