Thread: Change Field Columns to appear as Rows in table

Hi Folks,

I have managed to create a table and also retrieve data from my database.

However the script needs just a small change I am sure to fix my requirement and that fix is to get the data to fill the row from left to right using the number under the H/C column seen in the table at http://www.gnjgf.co.za/stevie/drawtest_4.php

Once that is done it can move to the next table - A script to seprate the table to the same page would alsoo be most helpful.

I look forward to any reply

Hi Folks,

It is also probably prudent to post the code to be veiwed if I am looking for help

PHP Code:

[$quey1="select * from _Form_Nr_3 ORDER BY `i_wish_to_play` ASC, `my_handicap_is` DESC ";
$result=mysql_query($quey1) or die(mysql_error());
 
?>
