    <p>I am trying to make a website in different languages and I retrieve this information from a database. For now I have two languages in there: English and Dutch.</p> <p>What I would like to do is getting all the language possibilities and put this into a switch. So if people will click on for example this link: index.php?page=NL they will get the Dutch translation of the page.</p> <p>So this is the code that I am using. It works so far but it shows I think the language option and the default option. Because when I remove default I only get the code ones.</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id="content"&gt; &lt;?php //Retrieve languages $querySwitchLang = "SELECT * FROM languages"; $resultSwitchLang = mysql_query($querySwitchLang); ?&gt; &lt;?php while($rowSwitchLang = mysql_fetch_array($resultSwitchLang)){ switch($page){ case $rowSwitchLang['langCode']:include('page.php');break; default: include('pageDefault.php'); break; } } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>So actually I wanted to have it like this because now it runs the switch statements as many times as there are languages I think:</p> <pre><code> &lt;div id="content"&gt; &lt;?php //Retrieve languages $querySwitchLang = "SELECT * FROM languages"; $resultSwitchLang = mysql_query($querySwitchLang); ?&gt; &lt;?php include('functions.php'); switch($page){ while($rowSwitchLang = mysql_fetch_array($resultSwitchLang)){ case $rowSwitchLang['langCode']:include('page.php');break; } default: include('pageDefault.php'); break; } ?&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre> <p>But this doesn't work because then I will get this error:</p> <pre><code>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'while' (T_WHILE), expecting case (T_CASE) or default (T_DEFAULT) or '}' in C:\wamp\www\glimpler\index.php on line 6 </code></pre> <p>I can't realy figure out how to solve this problem.</p>

    1. CONot possible. One work around would be to put your loop in a function and then call that for your case.

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.
