Mysql php displaying a table

PHP
1

Good day to you all,
I finally made the switch between txt based database to real database , i’m using mysql.

I’m working on a table display and I cannot find a solution to 2 of my questions:

  1. how can I make the first td of each row to have no border on the left as well as the last td of the row to have a right border ?

  2. How can I auto generate the first field to so I can add my delete option ?

Here is my code so far:



<?php
$db_host = 'localhost';
$db_user = 'peuplarc_sports';
$db_pwd = 'sports!123';

$database = 'peuplarc_sports';
$table = 'NHL_GBG_PLAYERS';

if (!mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd))
    die("Can't connect to database");

if (!mysql_select_db($database))
    die("Can't select database");

// sending query
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$table}");
if (!$result) {
    die("Query to show fields from table failed");
}

$fields_num = mysql_num_fields($result);

echo "<h1>Table: {$table}</h1>";
echo "<table border='0' id=\\"table\\" cellspacing=\\"0\\" cellpadding=\\"0\\" align=\\"center\\"><tr>";
echo "<td id=\\"title\\">options</td>";
// printing table headers
for($i=0; $i<$fields_num; $i++)
{
    
    $field = mysql_fetch_field($result);
    echo "<td id=\\"title\\">{$field->name}</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\
";
// printing table rows
$s = 0;
while(($row = mysql_fetch_row($result)) !== false){
	$s++;
	
    echo "<tr>";
    echo "<td id=\\"fields".($s & 1)."\\"><a href=\\"delete_table_row_db.php?id=" . $row . "\\" title=\\"DELETE : Row ID #:" . $row . "\\"><img src=\\"Template/Images/delete.png\\" border=\\"0\\"/></a><INPUT TYPE=\\"checkbox\\" name=\\"" . $row['id'] . "\\"></td>";

    // $row is array... foreach( .. ) puts every element
    // of $row to $cell variable
    foreach($row as $cell)
        echo "<td id=\\"fields".($s & 1)."\\">$cell</td>";

    echo "</tr>\
";
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>

Thank and have a great day !
