I am trying to fetch a users user_id and name from a table via running a mysql query.

There are 12 users/rows of data in my table in total and i only want to display 6 results at any one given time.

The aim is to display the users profile image by combining the directory where the image is stored with the users unique user_id:

data/profiles/users/profile_img/{users_id}/main.jpg

Then the images rotate (randomly) every 5 seconds using JQUERY to update the img src attribute.

As well as this, I am setting a href link with the users user_id so that the user can click onto the image and be taken to that users profile.

This all works fine. However, I also want to display the users name in the html <h3> attribute for each element.

I seem to be having difficulty achieving this. Instead of getting one users name on each element i am getting all the users name on each element.

Please can someone show me where I am going wrong?

Code:

<?php $result = $conn->query("SELECT  * FROM user_data, user_locations WHERE user_data.user_id = user_locations.user_id AND user_data.advert_type = 'Deluxe' AND user_data.advert_status = 'Active' ");
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { 
        $p_id = $row['user_id'];
        $name = $row['first_name'] . ' ' . $row['last_name'];

        $new_array[] = $p_id;
        $new_array2[] = $name;
    }
}

echo '<script>';
echo 'var imagesArray = ' . json_encode($new_array) . ';';
echo 'var imagesArray2 = ' . json_encode($new_array2) . ';';
echo '</script>';            
?>

Please try the below, and read all the comments so that you understand the changes.

<?php $result = $conn->query("SELECT  * FROM user_data, user_locations WHERE user_data.user_id = user_locations.user_id AND user_data.advert_type = 'Deluxe' AND user_data.advert_status = 'Active' ");
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { 
        $p_id = $row['user_id'];
        $name = $row['first_name'] . ' ' . $row['last_name'];

        // have 1 array, but each element is an array containing both name and id. this will keep the data together even when you shuffle later
        $new_array[] =  array('p_id' => $p_id, 'name' => $name);
    }
}

echo '<script>';
echo 'var imagesArray = ' . json_encode($new_array) . ';';
echo '</script>';
