Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here in programming... Maybe it's because I delt with a kid who decided to scream for a good share of the night and I'm sleep deprived :) But in my current system I have this:

echo <<<HTML

                <div>
                <table border="1">
                <tr>
                <td><a href="?order=a">First Name</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=b">Last Name</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=c">Address 1</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=d">Address 2</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=e">City</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=f">State</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=g">Zip</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=h">Code</a></td>
                <td><a href="?order=i">ID #</a></td>
HTML;

                while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
                        //display the info using heredoc syntac
echo <<<HTML
                <tr>
                        <td>{$row['FName']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['LName']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Add1']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Add2']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['City']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['State']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Zip']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['XCode']}</td>
                        <td>{$row['Record']}</td>
HTML;
}

What I want to do is take that first block of code, the one with the links for sorting, and instead of this: "<td><a href="? order=a">First Name</a></td>" I want to put something more like this: "<td><a href="?order=a">$FIELDNAMES[$field{$id}]</a></td>" So I can grab the field names from the database, instead of hardcoding them into my program.

I think I am sleep deprived because the more I tried to clarify it... the harder it got for me to understand :)

echo <<<HTML
                <div>
                <table border="1">\
HTML;

$first = true;
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
        if ($first)
        {
                echo '<tr>';
                foreach (array_keys($row) as $field) {
                        echo '<td>'.htmlentities($field).'</td>';
                }
                echo '</tr>';
                $first = false;
        }

        // Output the row here as above
}
