    <p>I have this file <strong>'gardens.php'</strong>, which pulls data from a table called <strong>'generalinfo'</strong> and I use fopen to send that data to a file called <strong>'index.html'</strong>. Here is the issue, only one option is filled. I have a demo running here <a href="http://gardening.andcreate.com/gardens.php" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Garden Demo</a> <strong>&lt;-- this is a new updated page and location, there are more errors than I have locally If anyone could help me fix them</strong> Username:stack1 Password:stack1</p> <p>Is there a better way to achieve what I want to?</p> <p>Thanks! Always.</p> <p><strong>GARDENS.PHP</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?php include("connect.php"); $results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM generalinfo"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){ $country = $row['country']; $province = $row['province']; $city = $row['city']; $address = $row['address']; //echo $country; //echo $province; //echo $city; //echo $address; } $fd = fopen("index.html","r") or die ("Can not fopen the file"); while ($buf =fgets($fd, 1024)){ $template .= $buf; } $template = str_replace("&lt;%country%&gt;",$country,$template); echo $template; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>INDEX.PHP SNIPPET</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;form name="filter" method="get" action="filter.php"&gt; &lt;select class="country" name="country"&gt; &lt;option&gt;&lt;%country%&gt;&lt;/option&gt; &lt;/select&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre> <p><strong>CONNECT.PHP</strong></p> <pre><code>&lt;?php mysql_connect("mysql.andcreate.com", "*******", "********")or die("Cannot Connect to DB"); mysql_select_db("gardencollective")or die("cannot select the DB table"); mysql_close(); ?&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COWell you only have one `<%country%>` in the file, how can it replace more? Also you are doing this outside your while loop and `$country` will have the value from the last loop.

    2. COJust realized that, I forget to copy my local database up to the server and rename somethings, the actual name shows up locally, let me change that now.

    3. COYes it is outside the loop, if I do it inside the loop index.html repeats itself over and over, I might be doing this backwards, I should include that snippet in the gardens.php file and include it in the sidebar of index.html

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.
