    <p>I'm trying to get an HTML Table output in to a specific format via PHP after it grabs information from a MySQL Database.</p> <p>In HTML, I can do this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="list"&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php?presenter=Name1'"&gt;Name1&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php?presenter=Name2'"&gt;Name2&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php?presenter=Name3'"&gt;Name3&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php?presenter=Name4'"&gt;Name4&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php?presenter=Name5'"&gt;Name5&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick="window.location.href = 'page.php?presenter=Name6'"&gt;Name6&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/table&gt; </code></pre> <p>This works great and looks nice, I have it DIV'd up and formatting nicely.</p> <p>However, I need to do this by pulling down the names from MySQL and then creating a new cell when needed, then after 3 cells, create a new row.</p> <p>So far, I have this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php //PRESENTERS HERE /* connect to the db */ $connection = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass); mysql_select_db($db, $connection); /* show tables */ $result = mysql_query('SHOW TABLES', $connection) or die('cannot show tables'); echo '&lt;h1&gt;Presenters:&lt;/h1&gt;'; while ($tableName = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { $table = 'presenters'; /* Get the presenters*/ $result2 = mysql_query('SELECT presenter FROM ' . $table) or die('cannot show data from ' . $table); } if (mysql_num_rows($result2)) { echo '&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="list"&gt;'; while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_row($result2)) { echo '&lt;tr&gt;'; foreach ($row1 as $key =&gt; $value) { echo '&lt;td style="cursor:hand" onclick=\"window.location.href = \'page.php?presenter=' . $value . '"&gt;', $value, '&lt;/td&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/tr&gt;'; } echo '&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>But I'm unable to figure out how to get it to behave like the HTML one above. I also can't get the on click events to work.</p> <p>The PHP form ends up with all entries on a row each, instead of three to a row.</p>

Guidance
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.
