PHP Class to draw a competition playoff table in HTML

Question

Hi all,

I'm looking for a PHP class that would draw me (by fetching data from a mysql table) a competition playoff table in HTML similar to what they do on wikipedia (see under the "Bracket" section):

Any input?
Thanks

Answer 2

firstly it totally depends on the structure of your database table.

you need to understand that you have to have children and parent and sibling tracking in your rows to tell what row belongs to what parent row.

so that if you first select all the rows where they do not ahve a parent row attached, then you have your root elements, witch in your case "Round of 32", then what you have to do is then select all the rows that are a parent of Club Brugge,Everton,Galatasaray,Atlético Madrid...... so that they can append the parent dataset, and so forth to you have no elements left
