I am pulling data from a database and displaying it in a simple table.
My goal is to figure out how to be able to click on one of the 2 table headers, and make the page reload, sorting on the column selected.
I am first of all trying to figure out to make the headers into "hyperlinks". I cannot figure it out.
Here is my code, and I would appreciate any help or advice. Thank you.
Code:
// get results from database
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mytable ")
or die(mysql_error());
// display data in table
echo "<table border='1' cellpadding='10'>";
echo "<tr><th>Last Name</th><th>First Name</th></tr>";
// loop through results of database query, displaying them in the table
$count= 0;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {
++$count;
// echo out the contents of each row into a table
echo "<tr>";
echo '<td width="100">' . $row['nameLast'] . '</td>';
echo '<td width="100">' . $row['nameFirst'] . '</td>';
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>
