How to stop table header from repeating

commonmind · 03-13-2009, 03:20 PM

I'm trying to figure out how to stop some table headers from repeating.

PHP Code:


			
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($rosterxml); 



foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->children() as $char) {

    

    echo '

        <table><thead>

        

        <th>Name</th>

        <th>Race</th>

        <th>Class</th>

        <th>Level</th>

        <th>Rank</th>

        <th>Achievements</th>

        

        </thead>

        

        

        

        <tr>  

         <td class="roster">' . $char['name'] . '</td> 

         <td class="roster">' . $char['race'] . '</td>

         <td class="roster">' . $char['class'] . '</td>

         <td class="roster">' . $char['level'] . '</td>

         <td class="roster">' . $char['rank'] . '</td>

         <td class="roster">' . $char['achPoints'] . '</td>

         

      </tr> </table> ';



}

Using the above code (I just took a guess as to how to setup the headers, obviously I was wrong), the header repeats along each row.

I think it's because you put the header inside the loop. try putting the headers before the loop.

PHP Code:


			
$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($rosterxml); 
echo '<table><thead>
        <th>Name</th>
        <th>Race</th>
        <th>Class</th>
        <th>Level</th>
        <th>Rank</th>
        <th>Achievements</th>
        
        </thead>';
foreach ($xml->guildInfo->guild->members->children() as $char) {
    
    echo '<tr>  
         <td class="roster">' . $char['name'] . '</td> 
         <td class="roster">' . $char['race'] . '</td>
         <td class="roster">' . $char['class'] . '</td>
         <td class="roster">' . $char['level'] . '</td>
         <td class="roster">' . $char['rank'] . '</td>
         <td class="roster">' . $char['achPoints'] . '</td>
         
      </tr> ';

}
echo '</table>';
