    <p>I have an application I am working on, this was produced in Dreamweaver CS5. The code is quite rediculous, the person that made the site is not able to help so I am struggling through the code and trying to "simplify" some of it as I can. I am more of a beginner-intermediate with php. So it seems as if it could be not so difficult. Description of what the application "should" do: The customer table should display the data(which it does) and should show Prefix, Suffix, and State from the tables, however it has auto increment id's for the primary key and the text portion will not display, only the numbers. So my predecessor used if else statements to convert the number to data (you will see in the code how cumbersome this is). So here is my code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?php require_once('Connections/customer.php'); ?&gt;&lt;?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { if (PHP_VERSION &lt; 6) { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; } $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "date": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "defined": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue; break; } return $theValue; } } $maxRows_DetailRS1 = 30; $pageNum_DetailRS1 = 0; if (isset($_GET['pageNum_DetailRS1'])) { $pageNum_DetailRS1 = $_GET['pageNum_DetailRS1']; } $startRow_DetailRS1 = $pageNum_DetailRS1 * $maxRows_DetailRS1; $colname_DetailRS1 = "-1"; if (isset($_GET['recordID'])) { $colname_DetailRS1 = $_GET['recordID']; } mysql_select_db($database_customer, $customer); $query_DetailRS1 = sprintf("SELECT * FROM customer WHERE id = %s", GetSQLValueString ($colname_DetailRS1, "int")); $query_limit_DetailRS1 = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_DetailRS1, $startRow_DetailRS1, $maxRows_DetailRS1); $DetailRS1 = mysql_query($query_limit_DetailRS1, $customer) or die(mysql_error()); $row_DetailRS1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($DetailRS1); if (isset($_GET['totalRows_DetailRS1'])) { $totalRows_DetailRS1 = $_GET['totalRows_DetailRS1']; } else { $all_DetailRS1 = mysql_query($query_DetailRS1); $totalRows_DetailRS1 = mysql_num_rows($all_DetailRS1); } $totalPages_DetailRS1 = ceil($totalRows_DetailRS1/$maxRows_DetailRS1)-1; $query = "SELECT id, state_abbr FROM state WHERE id =".$row_DetailRS1['state'].""; $result = mysql_select_db($database_customer, $customer) or die($query."&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;".mysql_error()); ?&gt;&lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;

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.
