    resolved [RESOLVED] Using PHP to generate tables

    I am trying to use PHP to generate me some tables based on code below. The only problem is I can't get the <tr> tags to work properly...

    This is the code
    PHP Code:
    <?php
            // ESTABLISH VARIABLES
        
            $date = time();
            $year4 = 2011; // four digit year
            $year2 = 11; // two digit year
            $thisyear = date("Y"); // current year
            $month = 1; // first month of the year
            $day = 1; //first day of the month
        
        // GENERATE EACH MONTHLY DIRECTORY
        
            $tdcount = 1;
        for(    $year4 = $thisyear; $year4 >= 2011; $year4--){
            
        
                // START YEAR DIV CONTAINER
                echo "<div id='year".$year4."'>";
                // INDEX TABLE HEADER
                echo "$year4 Monthly Directory";
                // GENERATE TABLE INDEX
                echo "<table>";
            echo     "<tr>";
            for(    $month=1;$month<=12;$month++){
                
                    $monthNum = $month;
                if(    $monthNum < 10){ 
                        $monthNum = "0".$monthNum;
                }
                echo     "<td>";
                echo     "<h2><a href='audio.php#".$monthNum."-".$year4."'>";
                switch(    $month){
                    case     1: echo "January";
                    break;
                    case     2: echo "February";
                    break;
                    case     3: echo "March";
                    break;
                    case     4: echo "April";
                    break;
                    case     5: echo "May";
                    break;
                    case     6: echo "June";
                    break;
                    case     7: echo "July";
                    break;
                    case     8: echo "August";
                    break;
                    case     9: echo "September";
                    break;
                    case     10: echo "October";
                    break;
                    case     11: echo "November";
                    break;
                    case     12: echo "December";
                    break;
                }
                echo     "</a></h2>";
                echo     "</td>";
                
                if(    $tdcount == 3 || $tdcount = 6 || $tdcount == 9) {
                    echo     "</tr><tr>";
                }
                if(    $tdcount == 12) {
                    echo     "</tr>";
                }
                
                    $tdcount++;
                    $monthNum++;
                    // END MONTHLY DIRECTORY
                
                //for(){
                        
                //}
                
                }
            echo     "</table>";
                // END YEAR DIV CONTAINER
                echo "</div>";
        }
    ?>
    But it generates this...
    HTML Code:
    <html><body><div id="year2013">2013 Monthly Directory<table><tbody><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#01-2013">January</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#02-2013">February</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#03-2013">March</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#04-2013">April</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#05-2013">May</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#06-2013">June</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#07-2013">July</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#08-2013">August</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#09-2013">September</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#10-2013">October</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#11-2013">November</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#12-2013">December</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table></div><div id="year2012">2012 Monthly Directory<table><tbody><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#13-2012">January</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#14-2012">February</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#15-2012">March</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#16-2012">April</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#17-2012">May</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#18-2012">June</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#19-2012">July</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#20-2012">August</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#21-2012">September</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#22-2012">October</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#23-2012">November</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#24-2012">December</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table></div><div id="year2011">2011 Monthly Directory<table><tbody><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#13-2011">January</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#14-2011">February</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#15-2011">March</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#16-2011">April</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#17-2011">May</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#18-2011">June</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#19-2011">July</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#20-2011">August</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#21-2011">September</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#22-2011">October</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#23-2011">November</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr><tr><td><h2><a href="audio.php#24-2011">December</a></h2></td></tr><tr></tr></tbody></table></div></body></html>
    As you can see, it auto-generating more tr elements than I want, and also generating a tbody element that I didn't even specify.

    Am I missing something here, also my $monthNum variable is not getting reset in the for loop...

    Your logic is all wrong try this

    if (!($x % 3)) {
    echo "</tr><tr>" ;
    }
    if ($x % 3) {
    echo "<td></td>" ;
    }
    $x++;

    if your trying to do what i think u are the above code will create a new row in ur table once the row reachs 3 sets of <td> tags dont forget to set the $x = 1; above ur loop also

    Well it works, just the second if statement generated an unneeded set of blank <td> tags, so by taking out that second bit of code, it seems to do it perfectly

    PHP Code:
    if (!($tdcount % 3)) {
                    echo     "</tr><tr>" ;
                }
                
                    $tdcount++; 
    Thank you very much, now just to finish the rest of the page
