Dynamically generate table clospan header

Dynamically generate table clospan header

82 views Asked by Daniel At 15 September 2024 at 06:53

I am trying to dynamically generate multilevel header table. Unfortunately after long trials I realized that I am not able to do that alone.

What I am trying to do is to merge the header cells into one cell like on the screen:

Here is my working PHP code. Only one thing which needs to be done is trier 1 header

PHP Code:

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
    </head>
    <body>


<!--

    <style type="text/css">
    h1 {font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:18px;}
    h2 {font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;}
    table {border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;border-color:#ccc;}
    th {font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;padding:10px 5px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;word-break:normal;border-color:#ccc;color:#333;background-color:#f0f0f0;}
    td {font-family:Segoe UI;font-size:13px;padding:10px 5px;border-style:solid;border-width:1px;overflow:hidden;word-break:normal;border-color:#ccc;color:#333;background-color:#fff;}
    </style>

I think I'd simply build an associative array of all your table names first, each with a count of how many columns they span, and then use that for your first header level:

$table_names = array();
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++) { // count the number of times each $header->table occurs:
    $header = mysql_fetch_field($result);
    if(!isset($table_names[$header->table])) $table_names[$header->table] = 1;
    else $table_names[$header->table]++;
}
// at this point, you get something like $table_names = [klienci=>4, zamowienia=>5, ksiazki=>5]

And then to output your first level of headers:

foreach($table_names as $table_name => $nb_of_occurences) {
    echo '<th colspan="'.$nb_of_occurences.'">'.$table_name.'</th>';
}

Hope this helps!
