    <p>Edit.</p> <p>So, according to the Pastebin you linked (if I happen to give line numbers, it will be the lines I see on Pastebin), I didn't go into the whole code, but for the parts we're interested in. Your problem is that you calculate the grade for all the students, and save it always in the same variable. So that variable, when you try to print it later outside the loop, only contains the grade of the last students that passed in the loop.</p> <p><code>$query7</code> and <code>$query8</code> are the same except you don't retrieve the same fields. It's twice the job for the DB to process, so the best thing is to use only <code>$query7</code> (which contains the score as well), and delete <code>$query8</code> (lines 122 to 130).</p> <p>Your grade calculation (lines 141 to 155) is in a loop on <code>$query8</code>, you don't need it as you're going to calculate one grade for one score, not all at once. So, just delete the loop, keep what's inside.</p> <p>The inside of the said loop (lines 142 to 155), put it in a function, like I did in my first post:</p> <pre><code>function makeGrade($score) { //just a rewrite of your own code, exactly the same purpose if($score&gt;=70) return 'A'; if($score&gt;=60) return 'B'; if($score&gt;=50) return 'C'; if($score&gt;=45) return 'D'; if($score&gt;=40) return 'E'; return 'F'; } </code></pre> <p>On the lines 170 to 188, you loop on <code>$query7</code> to print the data, and on line 182 you print <code>$grade</code>. Instead of printing <code>$grade</code>, just call the function with the field "Score" that you retrieve in <code>$query7</code>:</p> <pre><code>echo makeGrade($row['Score']); </code></pre> <p>Now it should give the right grade for each student and each course. By the way, here you don't need a grade field in your DB, so you can delete it.</p> <p>An alternate way of doing is to have the grade inside the DB (but anyway you don't need <code>$query8</code>). First, you need to set it when the code inserts the rows in <code>MAINTABLE</code> (some other file I suppose), using the same <code>makeGrade()</code> function (though in this case you must declare the function where both scripts can access it, like in an include file). Second, for the existing rows, you'd need to run a series of <code>UPDATE</code>, like this:</p> <pre><code>UPDATE MAINTABLE SET grade='A' WHERE score&gt;=70; UPDATE MAINTABLE SET grade='B' WHERE score&gt;=60 AND score&lt;70; UPDATE MAINTABLE SET grade='C' WHERE score&gt;=50 AND score&lt;60; UPDATE MAINTABLE SET grade='D' WHERE score&gt;=45 AND score&lt;50; UPDATE MAINTABLE SET grade='E' WHERE score&gt;=40 AND score&lt;45; UPDATE MAINTABLE SET grade='F' WHERE score&lt;40; </code></pre> <p>Then you just have to add <code>grade</code> in <code>$query7</code>'s <code>SELECT</code> part, and use <code>$row['grade']</code> on line 182.</p> <p>Make your choice :)</p>

    1. COThanks for the help. Here's an example of the html table i'm making. The column to the extreme right is for the grades, you'll notice that all the grades are 'C', but sum are suppose to be 'B' while others 'F' . That is my problem. http://m.box.com/view/f_1809576751 thanks a million. I appreciate it.

    2. COfor any single semester a student will take several courses, but can only have a score for a course. So if he/she takes 6 courses in a semester he/she is expected to have 6 scores and hence 6 grades depending on the score for the particular course.

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.
