Dear experties,

How can I do? What kind of method to get report like this in a table?
Please help me out.....

Name List Transaction

Person A.............................Transaction1
............................................Transaction2
............................................Transaction3
............................................Transaction4
Person B.............................Transaction 5
............................................Transaction6

you can use html to create the table: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp
if you want to have input boxes in each cells use the <input /> tag
just browse the link and you'll have everything you need to create the table.

Depends how you're getting your data.

Let us assume you have 2 DB tables, one for user, one for transactions. Retrieve the info via INNER JOIN:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT u.username, t.transaction_label FROM users AS u INNER JOIN transactions AS t ORDER BY u.username, t.transaction_date");
$u = '';
$table = "";
if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
    $table="<table>\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>Name</th>\n\t\t\t<th>List Transaction</th>\n\t\t</tr>\n\t</thead>\n\t<tbody>"; 
    while($d = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
        $table .= "\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td>";
        if($d['username'] != $u)$table .= $d['username'];
        $table .= "</td>\n\t\t\t<td>{$d['transaction_label']}</td>\n\t\t</tr>";
        $u = $d['username'];
    }
    $table .= "\n\t</tbody>\n</table>";
}
//then at a point of your chooosing:
echo $table;

Hi all,

Thanks for reply..azareth, actually I'm using PHP.i've tried to find from there but nothing can help me. Maybe I not really understand from ther..Diafol, actually know how to view the data value, but in this case, I dont want "Person Name" duplicate to the next row if he/she got more than 1 transaction.. only list for one time at the first row. Means I want to show all transaction for each person.

[HasNor]

This is my table code. When I run this code, name of the person those do the transaction will repeat followed by how many transactions. In this case I don't know how to stop repeat the name on next row if transaction done by same person until it change to another person. Anybody can help me?????

 <table width="1365" border="1" align="center" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td width="64"><strong>Person</strong></td>
      <td width="201"><strong>Transaction</strong></td>
    </tr>
    <?php
    $sql="SELECT u.name, u.id, t.trans, t.person
    FROM user u, transaction t WHERE u.id=t.person ORDER BY u.name ASC";
    $result=mysql_query($sql);
    while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
    // $id= $row['reqid'];
    ?>
    <tr>
      <td><?php echo $row['name']; ?></td>
      <td><?php echo $row['trans']; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php }  ?>
  </table>

this is actually a combination of html and php .. :)

Thanks Azareth for replry. So any suggestion for me to avoid the repeatation of Person?? When we generate report, it doesn't look like professional.. hurm.. :(

[azareth]

i'm not so sure if i get this right ..
how about you specify in the condition WHERE what transaction you are going to retrieve so that you can't have repetition of name?

HAs NOr - the example I gave just gives each name once - that's why I have the $u = $d['username']. Didi you try the code? All you have to do is change the SQL and the fieldnames to suit your data.

[HasNor]

Thanks for Diafol. I've tried your code and its work. Actually I haven't use code to come out the table. I just select from menu and it become a table. When I run your code, it's come without table line.. how can do for solve this issue?? I never create a table by write some codes..

That's all CSS or even inline html attributes - nothing to do with php really.

table{
    border-collapse:collapse;
}

th, td{
    border: black 1px solid;
}

Ok, Thanks Mr Diafol. Erm, may I know is it able to me to add another column for Person's ID No but without repeatition on next row?? same as Person Name.

Why not?

<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>Name</th>

becomes

<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>ID</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Name</th>

and

if($d['username'] != $u)$table .= $d['username'];

becomes

if($d['username'] != $u){
    $table .= "{$d['id']}</td>\n\t\t\t<td>{$d['username']}" ;
}else{
    $table .= "</td>\n\t\t\t<td>";
}

    $u = '';
    $table = "";
    if(mysql_num_rows($result)){
            $table="<table border='1' align='center' cellspacing='0'>\n\t<thead>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<th>MIS Ref ID</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Status</th>\n\t\t\t<th>PIC</th>\n\t\t\t<th>Date
