How to Create Indefinite Number of CSS Div's from Fetched Data in MySQL Using PHP

In the world of web development, working with databases to dynamically display content is a common requirement. One such scenario is generating an indefinite number of CSS <div> elements based on the data retrieved from a MySQL database using PHP. This post will guide you through the entire process of achieving that seamlessly.

The Challenge: Dynamic Div Generation

You might have faced a requirement where you need to display data fetched from a MySQL database visually. In our case, we want to create multiple <div> elements that include images and text based on the data provided in our MySQL table.

The structure of your database might look like this:

Here, we have an ID, a Name, and an Image field for each item we want to display on our webpage.

Solution Overview

To solve this problem, we’ll retrieve the data from the MySQL database and loop through it using PHP. For each record, we’ll create a <div> that includes an image and a text element to showcase the information effectively. Below are the key steps to achieve this.

Step 1: Establish a Database Connection

First, you need to establish a connection to your MySQL database using PHP's mysqli function.

This line fetches all records from the specified table where the data you want to display is stored.

Step 3: Loop Through the Data to Generate Divs

Now that we have our result set, we can start looping through it to generate the CSS <div> elements. Here’s the full code for generating the divs with images and text.

Each iteration of the loop creates a <div> with a class of container.

Inside, it displays an image taken from the Image column of the database.

Below the image, it displays the Name of the item in a styled paragraph.

Step 4: Style Your Divs with CSS

To make your generated <div> elements visually appealing, you could add some basic CSS styles. Here’s a simple example:
