How to output records in HTML table from moodle database? - moodle

Question

I want to display data from moodle database in HTML table, but for every record separate table is being displayed:
Code:
$rec=$DB->get_records_sql('SELECT * FROM `mdl_schedules`');
$table = new html_table();
$table->head = array('Date','Time', 'A' , 'B', 'C','D', 'E', 'F');
foreach ($rec as $records) {
$id = $records->id;
$scheduledatet = $records->scheduledate;
$scheduletime = $records->scheduletime;
$session = $records->s;
$venue = $records->v;
$trainer = $records->t;
$category = $records->c;
$course = $records->course;
$link = $records->link;
$table->data = array(array($scheduledatet, $scheduletime, $a,$b,$c,$d,$e,'View'));
echo html_writer::table($table);
}
Any reference or help will be much appreciated.

Answer 1

The echo should be outside the loop :)
}
echo html_writer::table($table);
But you will probably want to use flexible_table instead so you can use pagination.
Have a look in /admin/localplugins.php for an example.

I know this is old, but the reason you're only getting one record is you're not adding to the $table->data array. This is the code you want:
$rec=$DB->get_records('schedules');
$table = new html_table();
$table->head = array('Date','Time', 'A' , 'B', 'C','D', 'E', 'F');
foreach ($rec as $records) {
$id = $records->id;
$scheduledatet = $records->scheduledate;
$scheduletime = $records->scheduletime;
$session = $records->s;
$venue = $records->v;
$trainer = $records->t;
$category = $records->c;
$course = $records->course;
$link = $records->link;
$table->data[] = array($scheduledatet, $scheduletime, $a,$b,$c,$d,$e,'View');
}
echo html_writer::table($table);
I also changed up your query a bit. If you're just getting all of the records from a table, $DB->get_records('TABLE_NAME_WITHOUT_PREFIX'); is the way to go.
