Parsing data from mysql

[pjungers]

I think what I'd like to do is very simple, but I just can't figure out how to accomplish the task.  Fair warning -- I'm pretty new to PHP and any help is appreciated.

 

I have a form that takes in multiple fields of data and stores it in a mysql database.  I'm trying to output the data to another page on my website and I'm able to do that, but I'm really looking to output it in a way that's easily formatted using CSS.

 

This is on a wordpress site and I'm using the following code to output my data:

 

<?php 
$result = $wpdb->get_results ("SELECT field_val FROM wp_cformsdata WHERE field_name <> 'page' OR 'Fieldset1'", OBJECT);
foreach ($result as $teaminfo)
{
echo $teaminfo->field_val . "<br/>";
}
?>

 

Obviously, this just outputs the data with a <br> after each field value.  I'd like to see if there's a way to individually echo each field, such as "echo $teaminfo->name;" or "echo $teaminfo->address;" so that I can wrap each echo within a CSS class.

 

Alternatively, would there be a way to echo the field_val wrapped around <span class="field_name"></span> ?  This would also suit my needs, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it.

 

Also, unfortunately I don't have remote access to mysql with my hosting company, but I've included the output from myphpadmin when I run describe wp_cformsdata; :

 

 

Thank you in advance for your help.

depends what methods you are calling in your get_results object. can we see the contents of that?

Could you modify your code like this an post here output

 

<?php 
$result = $wpdb->get_results ("SELECT field_name, field_val FROM wp_cformsdata WHERE field_name <> 'page' OR 'Fieldset1'", OBJECT);
print_r($result);
?>

Sorry for not including any info on that as it's built into Wordpress.  Here's the documentation they have on it:

 

"Generic, mulitple row results can be pulled from the database with get_results. The function returns the entire query result as an array. Each element of this array corresponds to one row of the query result and, like get_row, can be an object, an associative array, or a numbered array."

 

It's on this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb under the SELECT Generic Results heading.

Here is what I receive (returns added for readability):

I'd like to see if there's a way to individually echo each field, such as "echo $teaminfo->name;" or "echo $teaminfo->address;" so that I can wrap each echo within a CSS class.

 

Alternatively, would there be a way to echo the field_val wrapped around <span class="field_name"></span> ?  This would also suit my needs, but I'm not sure how to accomplish it.

 

I've managed to figure out the alternative way of doing this with this code:

 

$result = $wpdb->get_results ("SELECT field_name, field_val FROM wp_cformsdata WHERE field_name <> 'page' OR 'Fieldset1'", OBJECT);
foreach ($result as $teaminfo)
{
$classname = str_replace(' ', '', $teaminfo->field_name); 
echo "<span class=\"";
echo $classname;
echo "\">";
echo $teaminfo->field_val;
echo "</span>";
}

 

This doesn't provide me with as much flexibility as I had hoped, so I'd still like to know if there's a way I can echo out each field and loop it for each form submission.

 

As you can see from the phpmyadmin screenshot from above, there's a field titled "sub_id" which increments with each form submission.  I'd like to echo out each field individually and then loop it through each "sub_id".

 

This is just one of those situations where I know what I want to do, but don't know exactly how to accomplish it.  Any help is appreciated.  Thank you!
