Hello Sir !

If I have a database with many tables(100), and I want to show only 15 tables on page, how to do that ?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi Jorge,

I suspect your query is wrong, and/or you don’t have an open connection to your DB.

its giving me an error:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/content/08/7066208/html/rifa/datos.php on line 16

any idea?

Hey Ben,

The 0 doesn’t increment. 0 is the index- it’s calling the first element in the array, which is the tablename.

You could rename the variable to something like this:

$tablename = $showtablerow[0];
echo $tablename;

Now $tablename will print the tablenames.

Hey man might sound like a silly question im new to php and all – but why does the array only print out properly when you specify the key as 0?

echo $showtablerow[0]

does the key increment in the while loop automatically?
