Allow User To Sort MYSQL Result
I'm just looking for ideas for the best way to allow a user to sort a list of results from a MYSQL query.
I have a system working at the moment, but it's fairly messy and inefficient, so I'd like to know if anyone has any better ideas.
Right now, my page allows users to view entries from the last day, week, month, year, or simply all. I use variable $organize, which is passed through get. Code:

Sort A Mysql Result According To A Php Array
Hi everybody ! I have a question for the gurus ;+) I have to arrays : PHP Code: $id = array(45,9,21); $pos = array(3,1,2); I select in my mysql table using the ids : PHP Code: $sql = "SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE id IN(".implode("",$id).")"; and I now want to sort the result according to the $pos array. Is there a way to do this directly in mysql ? If not, what would be the smartest way to do it in PHP ? Because I would prefer NOT to do the following : PHP Code: while ($t = mysql_fetch_array($ret)) { Â Â Â Â $a_field1[] = $t["field1"]; Â Â Â Â $a_field2[] = $t["field2"]; Â Â Â Â $a_field3[] = $t["field3"]; Â Â Â Â $a_field4[] = $t["field4"]; ... } array_multisort($pos,$a_field1,$a_field2,$a_field3,$a_field4) I fear it could be a very time consuming process when there is a lot of results and a lot of fields. But may be the no other solution... Thanks

User Is Verified By A MySQL Database, And Then A Session: 'user' Is Registered.
I have a problem with sessions. In my code admin.php the user is verified by a MySQL database, and then a session: 'user' is registered. Well when the user presses a link to a another page called news.php it will be checked if the session is the same as in the same script, or if it's even registered (to prevent people trying to break in). But everytime i redirect to news.php I get a file included ip.php wich tells me Im about to break in. Code:

PHP MYSQL Sort
My website setup is PHP Version 4.4.1, MYSQL 4.1.11. When the database results are returned and displayed they seems to ignore the sort/ order by clause. At times the order seems to be in reverese or exactly as the results are in the database. I also noticed that the problem arises after an update to the MYSQL database but that doesn't explain why the order by in PHP is ignored.

MySQL Sort By Date
I have a datebase of events. I have a form that adds to it, and I have a form that removes from it (with checkboxes). And I have a php file that will view all the events, either all of them or just the events happening after "today." These events are added randomly, and I want my php file that views the events to display the results in order of when they are happening. Any suggestions? I have seen a CREATE VIEW query that looks promising. Is that a good way to do it, just to create an on-the-fly table that is sorted and display the reults from that one?

Mysql Table Sort From Url
I am creating a table from mysql data. I have the column headers setup as links and clicking those sorts the table with php, so its not a javascript sort. I was wondering what people do to remember what sort state was selected and put the opposite ASC or DESC link. Basically if i am sorting by company name ASC, the company name header link should be DESC. I hope that makes sense. I guess i could store it in a session variable, but was just wondering if there are other ways to do it.

Mysql Sort Multiple Queries
I have a table called registration and a table called apppost. When I run the following code below, both queries print and match fine on the same page (like I want it to). However, when I do a sort (i.e. - http://www.example.com/folder/phpfile.php?sort=status) I get a warning that the mysql_fetch_array($result2) supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource. The data from the first query ($result) still displays correctly, but the data from the second query ($result2) doesn't display at all. Code:

I am designing a search engine using PHP/MySQL and I am logging all search terms into a MySQL table. I was wondering how I count the number of occurences of a term in the table, and then sort and display the terms in descending order. For example, if the column in my table with search terms looked something like this: clothes casinos clothes homes homes clothes How can I count and order the records so that I can display according to how many times they appear, like so: 1. clothes(3 entries) 2. home(2 entries) 3. casinos (1 entry)

Does MySQL Start To Reach Any Sort Of Limit In The Number Of Rows
Does anyone thinks it's better to use one table for a lot of information, or use multiple tables to separate the info. For example, I am going to be having different areas from all of the western states reporting recruiting activity each week. If there are five regions reporting in each week, and about 10 people in each region reporting, would you recommend just having all the info in one table seprated by a regional name, or have a separate table for each region? My main question is: Does MySQL start to reach any sort of limit in the number of rows in a table that it can effectively process? If there were, say, 4,000 rows in a table, does that become a problem?

Returning 1 Result From MySQL
I know the usual way of receiving results from MySQL, useing a while loop e.g. $sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='joe@hotmail.com'"; $result = mysql_query($sql,$connection); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row["firstname"]; echo $row["lastname"]; echo $row["email"];} BUT, if I know they only 1 result is going to be returned, is there a way to do this without using a while loop? So if I only wanted to get only the firstname of the person with email joe@hotmail.com. can I do this without a while loop or do I have to use one?

MySQL (DB) Result Sorting
I'm doing is taking results (fetching rows) from my mySQL database. But what I want to do is sort the results according to last name. So basically the table structure looks something like this: id (primary key) fullname A example rows could be: 1 John Smith 2 Mary Jane Now what I want to do is sort the results in PHP based on last name. I'm using the Pear DB for connecting to my mySQL database. Based on the example rows I gave, Mary Jane would go first, and then John Smith. How would I go about doing this? I was beginning to split the result based on spaces, and the last word to explode, but how would I truly do this?

Modifying MySQL Result - But Not The DB
How can I modify a MySQL data set returned by mysql_query? I am basically doing a while loop over the rows, changing one field, and then doing a mysql_data_seek back to the beginning of the set before returning it. However, later calls to mysql_fetch_assoc still return the orginal data, meaning that (I assume) I am changing a copy of the data rather than the result set itself. Taking the reference (i.e. $record =& mysql_fetch_assoc($result);) did not help. I have read a large quantity of the posts in the php.net site, googled, and read my PHP books - but have come up short on this one. Yes, I know it's better to simply modify the DB. However, I'm working with an existing code base which is very complicated, and want to cherry pick one very well tested feature by making a change in the result set only under special circumstances.

Setting A Php/mysql Result
I can't seem to figure out on my own using tutorials or documentations so I was hoping someone here could help me out. Here is my problem. I am using PHP and MySQL to do this script. I want to have a table that contains only numbers for data and then add them all up as a result to display and that I have accomplished with no problem and then I want to display a percentage of that number to the public however that also I have accomplished with no problem using round(). I want it to display 1-500 no matter what the number is or the decimal it may have is provided it doesnt exceed 500 but once it does I want it to display 500 as the limit so even if it is say 674 I want it to only display 500. The sql I am using for the adding is SELECT SUM which works just fine and I am using round( $total_number *.15, 2) to display the percentage number of 15%.
