Little Chunk of PHP code

[Chris S]

Can you guess what this does. it was hard to write so i hope its hard to guess

              <?php
              $array1 = array();
              $query1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `point_option`") or die(mysql_error());
                while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($query1)){
                  echo "<td>".$row1['name']."</td>";
                  $array1[] = $row1['name'];
                }
                ?>
            </tr>
              <?php
                $grade = $_GET['grade'];
                $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `points` WHERE `grade` = '$grade'") or die(mysql_error());
                while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
              ?>
            <tr>
              <td><?php echo $row['name']; ?></td>
              <td><?php echo $row['grade']; ?></td>
              <?php
              foreach($array1 as $fName => $fInfo){
                  echo '<td>'.$row[$fInfo].'</td>';
                }
              ?>
            </tr>
            <?php
            }
            ?>

It looks like it gets a name and grade of a person and shows it on a page. Is that right. ???

[the_king_dollars]

Does it bring the name of a person, his grade, and the number of points he achieved?

[Trixter]

<?php
              $array1 = array();
              $query1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `point_option`") or die(mysql_error());
                while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($query1)){
                  echo "<td>".$row1['name']."</td>";
                  $array1[] = $row1['name'];
                }
                ?>
            </tr>

Copys All Names In point_option Table To $array1

<?php
                $grade = $_GET['grade'];
                $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `points` WHERE `grade` = '$grade'") or die(mysql_error());
                while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
              ?>

Fetchs Certain Grades Defind By $grade Which looks to Be Pulled From A Form Field

 <tr>
              <td><?php echo $row['name']; ?></td>
              <td><?php echo $row['grade']; ?></td>
              <?php
              foreach($array1 as $fName => $fInfo){
                  echo '<td>'.$row[$fInfo].'</td>';
                }
              ?>
            </tr>
            <?php
            }
            ?>

Displays Names, Grades And List Number After The Query Has Run.
Thats What I Think

[Chris S]

you are getting close. it does grab the people from a grade. but what does the array have to do with anything. doesn't look like people have figured that one out

heres what it outputs.

I did a little modifying to the output of the function that creates the array, but nothing else changed

[YamiKaitou]

Not sure where $fName and $fInfo come from, but judging by your output, it gets their name, their grade, and whether they attended the meeting in that month.

[Chris S]

its really hard to see and the tables aren't that clear

what it does it queries 1 table for field names, and then makes an array.

then it queries another table for the information. it uses the array because the fields will change and i as the coder will not know what will be happening 2 years from now. So then using that array that was made, which contain the field names, it echos the field with the name from the array.

it was hard to write because i had no idea how i was going to output the rows and get the different field names because they will change.

Looks like to me before you told is a reputation mod for some kind of forum system
