Please help with student's marks report

Hello every body
Please help me to write this code
i want to display table like this
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/443/reportw.jpg/

Generated from three database tables depends on student ID

http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1272/tablesh.jpg

So i want to display this table without any fixed value of exams or subjects .. just i want the idea of looping

And is this the best way to insert the students marks?? coz by this way if i have 5000 student and 10 subjects and 12 exam in year .. i will have mor than 500.000 record in table Stu_Marks

sorry for my english language

Welcome to the SP forums.
If you post the code you have so far, and then ask a specific question about something that is blocking you, then I'm sure someone will be willing to point you in the right direction.

Yes that's the best way. You don't have to worry about performance if you create the right indexes.

Hello dear
i don't know where can i start .. if i have array for exams and array for subjects and values depends on exam_id and subj_id
how can i use exam_id from the first loop to put it in the second one then display the grades ?
i will try to write a code to explain more

Can you please create this report from database tables ?? coz i tried to write sevral arrays and loops and i failed :(

Please start by posting what you tried and we can see if any of your approaches work. We will not do this for you, but are glad to help, so please post your code.

  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }
mysql_select_db("test", $con);


////////////////////////


    
    ///////////////// Select the exams and put it in array 
    $ex = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM exams"); 
    $dc=1;
while ($rowex= mysql_fetch_array($ex)){
    $exn[$dc]=$rowex['Exam_Title'];
    $exid[$dc]=$rowex['Exam_ID'];
$dc++;
    }
    
    
    /////////////////////////// Select the subjects and put it in array

    $sjn[$dsj]=$rowsj['Subj_Title'];
$sjid[$dsj]=$rowsj['Subj_ID'];
$dsj++;
    }
    
    ///////////////////Select the student marks and put it in array with subject id and exam id

    $arr[$row['Subj_ID']][$row['Exam_ID']]=$row['Grade'];

    }
    /////////////////////// count the exams and the subjects to draw the table
