    <p>The reason this is complicated (for me) is that each column of the table is loaded from a separate MySQL table, and each MySQL table will have varying number of records. Initially I thought I could start generating the html table from top-left to bottom-right column by column , cell by cell, but this won't work because each MySQL table will have different length of records, which generate malformed html tables. Do you have any suggestions?</p> <p>My idea so far: </p> <ul> <li>Get a list of all tables in MySQL, which determine the number of columns </li> <li>Get the count from the table with most records</li> <li>Create a table with the parameters (# of tables as columns, max# as rows</li> <li>Update each cell with the corresponding record, but not quite sure how</li> </ul> <p>As requested, some code: </p> <pre><code>$tables = mysql_query("show tables"); $output = "&lt;table border=1&gt;&lt;thead&gt;&lt;tr&gt;"; while($table = mysql_fetch_array($tables)) { $output .= "&lt;td&gt;"; $output .= $table[0]; $output .= "&lt;/td&gt;"; $tableNames[] = $table[0]; } $output .= "&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/thead&gt;"; $output .= "&lt;tbody&gt;"; //Get a count of the table with the most records for($i=0; $i&lt;count($tableNames); $i++ ){ $currentTable = $tableNames[$i]; $tableContent = mysql_query("select * from $currentTable") or die("Error: ".mysql_error()); //Generating all content for a column $output .= "&lt;tr&gt;"; while($content = mysql_fetch_array($tableContent)){ //generating a cell in the column $output .= "&lt;td&gt;"; $output .= "&lt;strong&gt;".$content['subtheme'].": &lt;/strong&gt;"; $output .= $content['content']; $output .= "&lt;/td&gt;"; } $output .= "&lt;/tr&gt;"; } $output .= "&lt;/tbody&gt;"; $output .= "&lt;/table&gt;"; </code></pre> <p>This is wrong not just because it generates a malformed table, but also because it transposed columns to rows...</p> <p>Any help would be appreciated</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
