‘I made a simple chat box with php but the problem is i want to display my messages on the right and the other user messages on the left i made two while loops but they didn’t work. My table is like this (Sender – reciever – msg) I want to display each message ordered by time and on different places right side and left side
if (isset($_POST['user_id'])){
$sender_id = $_POST['user_id'];
$sql = "SELECT * FROM messages_sys WHERE send_id=$sender_id AND reciever_id=$uid";
$sql_query = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
print_r($sql_query);

Answer
you can use ‘if’ statement inside for loop :
foreach($messages as $message){
if($message->reciever == user_id){
<div class="right">$message</div>
}elseif($meesage->sender == user_id){
<div class="left">$message</div>
}
}
of course you have to open and close php tag before type html code inside
