    <p>I have been making a volunteer sign up sheet for our hockey club. I display the results in a table using a while loop.</p> <p>Everything works good, but I am now wanting to make the output a little more user friendly. I order the query by the date and display it in a single table. What I would like to do is display a new table for each different date. The heading of that table would be the date and the rows would have all events for that date ordered by time. I think this would make it easier for people to find events on a specific date.</p> <p>Here is how my table is set up: id, date, time, game, name1, name2, name3, name4, name5</p> <p>Here is the query on my main page:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php //displays the table $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM namestable ORDER BY date, time ASC"); displayTable($result); ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>This is my function:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php function displayTable($result){ echo " &lt;table border='1'&gt; &lt;tr class='top'&gt; &lt;th class='date'&gt;Date&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='time'&gt;Time&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='game'&gt;Game&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='name'&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='name'&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='name'&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='name'&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='name'&gt;Name&lt;/th&gt; &lt;th class='sign'&gt;Sign Up&lt;/th&gt; &lt;/tr&gt;"; while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { //change the date format here $fdate = date('M jS, Y l', strtotime($row['date'])); echo "&lt;tr&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='date'&gt;" . $fdate . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='time'&gt;" . $row['time'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='game'&gt;" . $row['game'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='nameA'&gt;" . $row['name1'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='nameB'&gt;" . $row['name2'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='nameA'&gt;" . $row['name3'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='nameB'&gt;" . $row['name4'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; echo "&lt;td class='nameA'&gt;" . $row['name5'] . "&lt;/td&gt;"; $id = $row['id']; echo "&lt;td class='sign'&gt;" . "&lt;form name='input' action='process.php' method='POST'&gt; &lt;input type='text' name='name' maxlength='25' value='Enter Name' onfocus=\"if(this.value=='Enter Name') this.value='';\"/&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='id' value='$id'/&gt; &lt;input type='submit' value='Sign Up' /&gt; &lt;input type='submit' name='dname' value='Remove Name' /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;" . "&lt;form name='delete' action='delete.php' method='POST'&gt; &lt;input type='hidden' name='id' value='$id'/&gt;"; if(isset($_SESSION['user_id'])){ echo "&lt;input type='submit' name='delete' value='Delete Event' /&gt;&lt;/form&gt;" . "&lt;/td&gt;"; }else{ echo "&lt;/form&gt;" . "&lt;/td&gt;"; } echo "&lt;/tr&gt;"; } echo "&lt;/table&gt;"; echo "&lt;br /&gt;"; } ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>Users can enter a name to sign up and delete their name.</p> <p>The admins can add and delete events. </p> <p>Any suggestions?</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.
