Advice On Sorting Results (in A Table): Session Variables?
I have a table of query results (from PostgreSQL) that I am displaying using PHP. I would like to give the user the option to sort the results by clicking on one of the various table headings. I know that I can sort them at the time that I query them, but this would require a new database query each time. I am thinking of making the heading a hyperlink similar to the following: <a href=myresultspage.php?sort=price> //this would be the link to sort by the price collumn. I have managed to make a simple sorting function, by putting the results into an array then sorting the array by the appropriate dimension of the array as indicated by the value of $sort. My question is this: If I keep the results in an array, how can I pass the array when the user clicks on the hyperlink that tells which collumn to sort by? Do I need to use session variables? It doesn't seem like I can pass an array as a GET variable.
Sorting XML Results
The following code parses an XML file and displays the results. The function resultSort is meant to sort the results by price from highest to lowest. Unfortunately, it's not sorting correctly in all cases. I think this may be due to the prices being in euros. Right now, this is how it outputs the results: 1 208,00 2 148,00 412,00 638,00 942,00 This is how it should look: 2 148,00 1 208,00 942,00 638,00 412,00 Here's the code: PHP Code:

Sorting Results By Header
What I am hoping to do is make the headers of the results column links, so that that when people click on them, the results on the page is automatically sorted alphabetically. I found a tutorial on http://codewalkers.com/tutorials/21/2.html, however it seems that I would need to make several changes to my code that would then make the other parts of my script unworkable (is that even a word!?). Here is my current search feature ; http://www.btinternet.com/~shahnawaz.khan/searchMD.htm . The headings I want to make sortable are Model, Creator and Book Title. PHP Code:
Sorting Results Of Odbc_exec?
I am running a PHP program that connects to an Access 2000 database via ODBC: $results = odbc_exec($connection_id, $sql_select); Is it possible to sort the contents of $results? I wish to use a regex-based sort order that you can't do in Access 2000* SQL

Table Background Color Based On Results From MySQL Table
I am trying to get the "Did User Agree" field on a database query to be colored Green for "Agreed" Red for "Disagreed" and Blue for "Agreed (2nd Time)" .. I have my PHP setup to do the query just fine as of right now with alternating column colors, just can't seem to get the colors to work as I am hoping for. Can anyone help me get the Agreed? table's background color to the colors above? Code:
ODBC Results Sorting And Adding?
I need to go through ODBC results and add Quantity for like items. Quick example: Database Is: ItemQntyDate foo11-10-99 bar51-15-00 foo21-11-99 I need to somehow search through results and add matching Item Quantities together. In this example, the return I would expect is: ItemQntyDate bar51-15-00 foo31-10-99/1-11-99 because the foo Qnty added together became 3. Any thoughts on how to accomplish this? Load the ODBC results into an array and somehow sort through the array? Never done that before...
Sorting Database Query Results
I want to know if it is possible to sort query results so that the records with a value in a certain field is displayed first and the records with the field empty thereafter.
Sorting Query Results Into Groups
I have a 'staff' table with a column 'status', corresponding to a 'statuses' table with the appropriate titles (eg 1 | Editor in Chief). I want to display on the page the headings (the titles from statuses) along with all of the staff members with that status ID. I've attempted this using a query for each possible status, which I figure was pretty inefficient (plus it didn't work properly). The best I could do manually was to just display a list of staff and their statuses sorted in order of the title ranks.
Small Issue With Sorting Query Results.
In the below code I am simply trying to sort a list of results in the category "Drivers" by price. I can achieve this fine but it only seems to take the first 2 digits of the price when sorting, so... Instead of sorting like: €38 €70 €125 €175 €250 €370 Its sorts like: €125 €175 €250 €370 €38 €70 $limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pageno - 1) * $max .',' .$max; $query = "SELECT * FROM ads WHERE category = 'Drivers' AND validation = 0 ORDER BY '$price' $limit"; $result = mysqli_query($mysql_connect, $query) or die (mysqli_error($mysql_connect));
Retrieving,Sorting & Displaying Multiple Results From Mutliple Tables
I need to know how to run a php / mysql query to do the following. I have 1 database (lets call it "database" for now) within this database there are multiple tables ("News","Feature","Header_feature") For NEWS I need only the 6 latest results pulled from that table and displayed in a table. The "News" table has the following columns "ID","Title","Date","Body","Image" For Feature I need only 1 result retrieved from the database and displayed under the variable $ticker as it will display as a scrolling marquee within a table. The "Feature" table has the following columns "ID","Ticker". For Header_feature I need only 1 result retrieved from the database and displayed in the following manner <a href="$link"><img src"$header_feature">[/url] The "Header_feature table has the following columns "ID","image","link" How would I code this all into 1 page? I cant seem to get the query to do everything I want it to and display the results properly. You can see what I have so far at www.getlivemedia.com The $ticker is the scrolling text near the top of the page and the news is obviously the bulk of the page and $feature_image is the broken image.
Table Sorting Logic
I have a table with 4 columns. I have each column header acting as an asc/des sort on that column. I also have 4 filters that a user can apply to the table. What is supposed to happen.... If a user clicks on a column header twice in a row ( or 100 times in a row) the table will toggle back and forth between an asc/des sort on that column. If a user clicks on a "new" column header, the sort will reset to the initial asc/des value assigned to that column instead of just toggling from the current setting. If a user clicks on a filter, the results will be displayed with the "current" sorting method. What is actually happening.... Everything seems to be working fine except when a user clicks on the same filter link more than once. In that case, the sort toggles between asc /des, which I do not want to happen. PHP Code:
Problem Sorting By 2 Fields From Table
As part of a rating system on my site, data for the total rating and also the number of votes gets added into a table. I am currently trying to query this table to get the highest rated row of data. This worked fine when I only had "ORDER BY rating DESC LIMIT 1" at the end of my query - It would select the row where the rating was 5 out of 5. I realised that if 2 rows had the same rating, I could not determine which one to select. So i tried changing the code to: "ORDER BY rating, num_votes DESC LIMIT 1". For some reason, this now selects a row where both the rating and num_votes values are 0. Just in case you need to see the entire query, here it is:
Sorting A Table Into An Array In Mysql

Colour Top 3 Results In A Table
I'm currently trying to make a poker league whats seem to be going well. I have populated a table with the league results, but would like 1st position in gold, 2nd in silver and 3rd in bronze.

I'm a little unsure how to go about doing this, and wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction. Code:
Sorting Sql Results In An Array Using Things Outside The Array To Sort Them?
I'm using PHP to connect to a database full of place names, and their associated post codes, latitude and longitude on the earth. A user types his or her post code into a form, plus a distance (in miles), and the script looks for other area codes (first half of the post code) within that distance. I can do that fine, but the results are ordered alphabetically by postcode, and I want to order it by the distance. Problem here, is that the distance isn't part of the array taken from the database, it takes the latitude and longitude of the area it's on in the while loop, and calculates the distance between the user's post code and that one, but it's not part of the array, so I can't sort the array using it. How can I sort it? Can I add the calculated distances to the array, and sort it using sort()? If yes, how do I add them to the array? Here's the page, just to explain better what the script does: http://navimaker.org/ed/owain/results.php?postcode=gl15&distance=34 Mess around with the postcode and distance vars. I'd put the source on here too but I'm doing all this over SSH and can't copy & paste very easily .
Dynamically Generated Results Table
I'm trying to write a script that dynamically generates HTML tables depending on the results from an SQL query. So far, I have managed to set the HTML table headers to be the same as those in the MySQL table. [thanks to rod k -cheers !] Now i'm trying to put the results in the table. Basically, I need a MySQL function to retrieve data and put it into the table until there is no data left.... (At the moment I am using "mysql_fetch_array()", but with this it is necessary to know the names of the columns to retrieve the information for each result set. Since my table is dynamic and should be able to build itself from different MySQL tables, the column names aren't fixed and so i can't use this to put the data in the tables...)
Creating A Link Within Table Results?
I am using php and mysql. Does anyone have any pointers on how to include links within table results that point to additional information also pulled from the same db table? I have some extensive info that I want to query. The intial results are going to be displayed in a simple wire frame html table layout. I would like each row to include a link that will take the reader to a more detailed version of the data for that particular row, and that more detailed data will of course come from the same db table. My problem is I don't know how to setup the code to create such link.
Display Query Results In A Table

Putting Database Results In A 5x1 Table
I have a db of tens of thousands of entries. It's not too hard to pull all the entries and build a table that displays them one at a time, but in my case, that will be a huge waste of space. What I want to do is put one record in each of the columns. I thinks it's possible to do because I have seen very elaborate thumbnail gallery scripts to do this. I just want to be able to put two or three strings of text from each record into each row, and a checkbox. Here's sample of what I mean: <table width="76%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1"> <tr> <td>$record1Line1<br>$record1$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record1checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record2Line1<br>$record2$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record2checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record3Line1<br>$record3$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record4Line1<br>$record4$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> <td>$record5Line1<br>$record5$Line2<br> <input type="checkbox" name="$record5checkbox" value="checkbox"></td> </tr> </table> I want to pull about 200 records at a time from the db and display as described above. How can I tell php to take five records from my result set and display above, then loop through the result set until I'm done?

This is the second part of my problems with a top ten list: I'm making a site for guitar effects. I'm trying to make a list of the top ten effects pedals, based on how many effects settings (patches) people have submitted for each pedal. There are two tables, pedals and patches: I want it to select patches and find out which "pedal_id" is most common, then select that pedal ID from pedals, echo some tuff, then do the query again, except search for the SECOND most popular value, echo it, then the third, echo it, etc etc etc

Loop To Print Formatted Table From Sql Results
I'm trying to create a 3 column table now, and each cell will contain info from a single record. All the records will be pulled from a mysql database.

I can't get the desired effect, and I'm not sure my loop logic is even correct. Does anyone know what's wrong with my code? Code:
Printing Mysql_fetch_array Results In Multicolumn Table
I'm not sure if this qualifies as a mysql or a php question so I'm asking in both groups. I am pulling the results of a mysql query from my database and want to print the results into a two column table. I know how to get the results into a single column table just fine using: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print "<table border=2><tr><th>" . $row[name]; print "<tr><td>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 0) . ": " . $row[ID]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 1) . ": " . $row[name]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 2) . ": " . $row[address]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 3) . ": " . $row[city]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 4) . ": " . $row[telephone]."<br>"; print "</td></tr>"; print "</table> "; print "<br><br>"; } and it works fine. But my efforts to get the reults into a two column setup have become frustrating. My latest attempt was: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { print "<table border=2 width=ྖ%'>"; print "<tr>"; print "<td>"; print "<b>" . $row[name] . "</b><br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 0) . ": " . $row[ID]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 1) . ": " . $row[name]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 2) . ": " . $row[address]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 3) . ": " . $row[city]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 4) . ": " . $row[telephone]."<br>"; print "</td>"; print "<td>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 0) . ": " . $row[ID]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 1) . ": " . $row[name]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 2) . ": " . $row[address]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 3) . ": " . $row[city]."<br>"; print mysql_field_name($result, 4) . ": " . $row[telephone]."<br>"; print "</td>"; print "</tr>"; print "</table> "; print "<br><br>"; }
Formatting Mysql_fetch_array Results In HTML Table
This looks like a simple problem, but I just can't seem to wrap my head around it. I'm trying to build a table dynamically, based on a result set from mysql. There will be 9 results for a full page, with 3 table rows of 3 table cells. One result per cell. But all of the pages won't be full. Here's one of many ways I've tried to do it: <html> <head> <title>test</title> </head> <body> <table width="100%" border="1"> <?php include_once('db.inc.php'); $query = "SELECT DISTINCT title FROM mytable LIMIT 9"; $result = mysql_query($query); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $title = $row['title']; } for ($i = 0; $i < 3; $i++) { print ' <tr>' . " "; for ($e = 0; $e < 3; $e++) { print ' <td align="center">' . " ". ' title : ' . $title . " ". ' </td>' . " "; } print ' </tr>' . " "; } ?> </table> </body> </html> This prints out 3 rows of three like I hoped, but $title is the same in all 9 cells. I also have tried it with the for loops inside the while loop, which prints out 9 rows of 9 cells 9 times!

Outputting A Table Or Form Using SHOW FIELDS FROM Table
In the code the MySQL database was queried using "SHOW FIELDS FROM table" which and the returned results of column names was then use to build an output for a form and a table with php using a series of if statements along the lines of if the returned field name matches something echo a text input field. I have never seen this done this way before, so I want to get the opinion of the devshed user. Does it seem like an unsual long process to build up a form. Is there a security advantage doing it this way? Has anyone ever done it this way before?

Using PHP To Sort Data In MySQL Table 1 By Values In Table 2
I have a MySQL database with 2 tables in it. products and prices.. Products has a field in it called 'prodno'. Prices has a field in it called 'prodid'. There is one of each item in products and each product has it's own unique 'prodno' There are multiple instances of each product's pricing in prices.. One for each price.. So if a product had multiple prices depending on quantity it would have an entry for each price.. Example: id = 1 prodid = 7001 qty = 300 price = 12.5 id = 2 prodid = 7001 qty = 400 price = 15.5 I was wondering if I could query the database getting info from the products table but sort it according to the prices in the prices table. Kinda like doing a "SELECT * FROM products" ordering it by the lowest price value from each item.. This is all very confusing to me, and I'm the one writing it. Let's try one last time.. Query the database selecting * from products (I plan on using all the info in products) and ordering them by the lowest price for each item in the prices table. I've tried sorting the results of just a basic SELECT * FROM products using Javascript and PHP but with pagination in the results it makes it a bit hard.
Search Results ($num_rows) Does Not Match $search Results (PHP,MySQL)?
