I am working on a basic messaging system. This is to get all the messages and to make the row of the table that has an unread message Green. In the table, there is a column called 'msgread'. this is set to '0' by default. Therefore it should make any row with the msgread = 0 - green. this is only working for the first row of the table with the code i have - i verified that it is always getting a 0 value, however it only works the first time through in the while
statement ..
require('./connect.php');
$getmessages = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE toperson = '" . $userid . "'";
echo $getmessages;
$messages = mysql_query($getmessages);
if(mysql_num_rows($messages) != 0) {
$table = "<table><tr><th>From</th><th>Subject</th><th>Message</th></tr>";
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($messages)) {
if(strlen($results[message]) < 30){
$message = $results[message];
}
else {
$message = substr($results[message], 0 ,30) . "...";
}
if($results[msgread] == 0){
$table .= "<tr style='background:#9CFFB6'>";
$table .= "<td>" . $results[from] . "</td><td>" . $results[subject] . "</td><td><a href='viewmessage.php?id=" . $results[message_id] ."'>" . $message . "</a></td></tr>";
}
else {
$table .= "<tr>";
$table .= "<td>" . $results[from] . "</td><td>" . $results[subject] . "</td><td><a href='viewmessage.php?id=" . $results[message_id] ."'>" . $message . "</a></td></tr>";
}
}
echo $table ."</table>";
}
else {
echo "No Messages Found";
}
There's all the code, including grabbing the info from the database. Thanks.
