I’ve written a simple league table generator in the style of my fixtures generator.
Source code, for those that are interested in such things …
<?php require_once('masort.php'); function main() { $s = ""; $cmd = (isset($_REQUEST['cmd']) ? $_REQUEST['cmd'] : null); $id = (isset($_GET['id']) ? $_GET['id'] : null); $title = ""; if ($cmd === 'add') { list($id, $display) = add($id, $_POST['results']); $s .= $display; $title = ($id ? "Table $id" : 'Create Table'); } if ($id) { if (isset($_GET['txt'])) { $s .= "<pre>" . table_text($id) . "</pre>"; } else { $s .= table($id); } $title = "Table $id"; } $s = head($title, $id) . $s; $s .= input_form($id); $s .= ($id ? results($id) : ""); $s .= table_links(); $s .= foot(); echo $s; } // String of HTML input form for results. function input_form($id) { $instructions = '<p class="instructions"><b>Enter results in format</b> <code>name X - Y name</code> <b>to '; $instructions .= ($id ?

Hi, do you have a step by step guide on how to put this code into my website?
Cheers
Ste
Dave,
Do you have a copy of the file masort.php referenced in the code?
You can see masort.php here: http://bluebones.net/masort.txt
Hi there,
Anychance I could get a working version of the source in a zipped folder.
Im stuggling to put it all together recreating it.
Cheers.
Hey man,
Great generator.
Is it possible for me to embed it on my webpage?
Cheers.
In other words – html code for the generator?
@Lee – I’ll see if I can sort something out.
@Fred – You could use something like this:
<iframe src=”http://bluebones.net/table.php” width=”1024″ height=”600″></iframe>
but I’m not sure you’d like the results. Or do you mean that you want to embed the resulting table? You could “view source” and copy it from there?
@Lee – I shoved this up on github with the supporting masort library …
https://github.com/bakert/League-Table-Generator
Enjoy!
I had a table of that i made using your generator favourited, and now when i come to use it, i can’t find it any more.
Any idea’s what might have happened? Do they get deleted if they aren’t updated for a while?
Thanks
Squidge
@squidge – there’s over a thousand still on there. I haven’t reset it it in a long time. What is the URL you have bookmarked?
There were 3:
http://bluebones.net/table.php?id=1523
http://bluebones.net/table.php?id=1522
http://bluebones.net/table.php?id=1532
The first 2 lead to tables that aren’t mine, the 3rd one doesn’t even link to a table that exists.
Squidge
@squidge. Odd. How long ago did you bookmark them? Years ago? If you let me know some of the names in the table I can scan and see if it is hiding under a different number.
There is a HTML 500 server error on the league table generator page thats been going on for weeks now… please fix 🙂
Fixed. Thanks for letting me know.
(I hadn’t installed php5-sqlite on my new webserver.)
This is great.. Would be even better if the table showed home and away results i.e. P W D L F A W D L F A PTS and goal difference – sorry pushing it now 😉
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in table.php on line 40
🙁
Thanks for the note juniorwalker – I’ve corrected the syntax error both here and on github.
I thank you for this tool
but know:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function sqlite_open() in table.php on line 273
sorry for my broken english.

This code requires the sqlite extension to PHP. You will need to install it or get your host to install it. Your English seems good to me! 🙂
hey..
u built a good program but how can i copy the html code.. can u plz make me a program for the same… plz i want it for my tournament at boc-tournament.tk
If u want i can advertise ur name too..
plz reply on nbdclan99@gmail.com
This is very nice, ty 🙂 How about using mysql to fetch the data and display it?
@alina – You certainly could do that. You’d just need to swap out the db function to use mysql-appropriate commands. The actual SQL elsewhere in the program should work fine. Not in my plans though, I’m afraid.
Hey, may I know the structure of the database for this app. How would I manually add the results say after every weekend. I need to build a table for a small league of 16 teams
The SQL to create the table is in the source:
CREATE TABLE result (home VARCHAR(255), away VARCHAR(255), for INT, against INT, table_id INT);
You can add results by revisiting your table and just entering the results.
the table generator is exactly what i need, how do i use the exact same thing with a MySQL database running on phpmyadmin. im getting a few errors. please do help
is it possible to use this code only using skeleton
