PHP - Sorting Mysql Data Based On An Array

I am in the process of writing code for a dynamic form. I have the part of the form written for information to be entered. I am now trying to write code for the modification of the  information in the table.

I know that I want to get the table data my doing a MySql Select and putting that information into an array. I am not very familiar with arrays and have spent some time looking for a solution online with no solution. When I print_r the results I get what I want but when I do anything else I get Array. What I am actually looking to do is make it so that the table data is in another variable

this is the section of code that I am working with.
Code: [Select]
$mod_form = "<form name='insert_table' id='insert_table' action='ad_add.php' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<fieldset>
<legend>table information</legend>
<input name='table' TYPE='hidden' VALUE='" . $table . "' />";

$mod_sql = "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE id = '$id'";
$mod_sql_result = mysql_query($mod_sql);

$allowed_ext = array('jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'gif');
$input_array = array();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($mod_sql_result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
    $input_array[] = $row;
}

foreach ($input_array as $input => $data) {
    print_r($data);
}

while ($i < mysql_num_fields($mod_sql_result)) {


    $header = str_replace("_", " ", (mysql_field_name($mod_sql_result, $i)));
    $name = mysql_field_name($mod_sql_result, $i);

    (mysql_field_name($mod_sql_result, $i) == 'image' ? $mod_form .= "<p>" . $header . ": <input name='" . $name . "' id='" . $name . "' type='file' /></p>" : $mod_form .= "<p>" . $header . ": <input name='" . $name . "' id='" . $name . "' type='text' value='" . $input . "'/></p>");

    $i++;
}
$mod_form .= "
<p>
<input type='submit' name='submit_mod' id='submit_mod' />
</p>
</fieldset>
</form>
";

echo $mod_form;

This portion is kind of stumping me. Basically, I have a two tables in this DB: users and users_access_level (Separated for DB normalization)

users: id / username / password / realname / access_level
users_access_level: access_level / access_name

What I'm trying to do, is echo the data onto an HTML table that displays users.username in one table data and then uses the users.access_level to find users_access_level.access_name and echo into the following table data, I would prefer not to use multiple queries if possible or nested queries.

Example row for users: 1234 / tmac / password / tmac / 99
Example row for users_access_level: 99 / Admin

Using the examples above, I would want the output to appear as such:

Username: Access Name: Tmac Admin
I am not 100% sure where to start with this, but I pick up quickly, I just need a nudge in the right direction.

The code I attempted to create just shows my lack of knowledge of joining tables, but I'll post it if you want to see that I did at least make an effort to code this myself.

Thanks for reading!

Hi there

I have a MySQL database table that has multiple records which look like (1, Which of these are your favorite color(s)?, Red||Blue||Orange||Green, question-type1 )

I have written some PHP code in extracting that data into a HTML form. (The above data looks like a question with multiple options (radio buttons/checkboxes) below it).

Below is what I'm trying to achieve:
 When the action is Submit: store the question number, user responses of the options , time stamp and user name into a new database table.

I came to know that passing arrays will do the job, but I got stuck in the middle.

Please see the attached documents that has the code.

TIA

I have these two tables... schedule (gameid, homeid, awayid, weekno, seasonno) teams (teamid, location, nickname) This mysql query below gets me schedule info for ALL 32 teams in an array...

$sql = "SELECT
h.nickname AS home,
a.nickname AS away,
h.teamid AS homeid,
a.teamid AS awayid,
s.weekno
FROM schedule s
INNER JOIN teams h ON s.homeid = h.teamid
LEFT JOIN teams a ON s.awayid = a.teamid
WHERE s.seasonno =2014";
$schedule= mysqli_query($connection, $sql);
if (!$schedule) {
die("Database query failed: " . mysqli_error($connection));
} else { 
// Placeholder for data
$data = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($schedule)) {
if ($row['away'] == "") {$row['away']="BYE";}
$data[$row['homeid']][$row['weekno']] = $row['away'];
$data[$row['awayid']][$row['weekno']] = '@ '.$row['home'];
}
}

However, I only want to get info for one specific team, which is stored in the $teamid variable. This should be very easy, right? I have tried multiple things, including this one below (where I added an AND statement of "AND (h.teamid=$teamid OR a.teamid=$teamid)"), but this one still outputs too much...

$sql = "SELECT
h.nickname AS home,
a.nickname AS away,
h.teamid AS homeid,
a.teamid AS awayid,
s.weekno
FROM schedule s
INNER JOIN teams h ON s.homeid = h.teamid
LEFT JOIN teams a ON s.awayid = a.teamid
WHERE s.seasonno =2014
AND (h.teamid=$teamid OR a.teamid=$teamid)";
$schedule= mysqli_query($connection, $sql);
if (!$schedule) {
die("Database query failed: " . mysqli_error($connection));
} else { 
// Placeholder for data
$data = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($schedule)) {
if ($row['away'] == "") {$row['away']="BYE";}
$data[$row['homeid']][$row['weekno']] = $row['away'];
$data[$row['awayid']][$row['weekno']] = '@ '.$row['home'];
}
}

Below is the array that the above outputs. In a nutshell, all I want is that 1st array ([1]) which has, in this example, the Eagles full schedule. It's not giving me too much else and I guess I could live with it and just ignore the other stuff, but I'd rather be as efficient as possible and only get what I need...

Please suggest me the appropriate code.
While($myrow=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{

I'm attempting to create a SQL command that can sort through a concatenated string in my database it is listed at   Colors: blue,red,green,yellow is SELECT * FROM `shoes` WHERE CONCAT(',',color,',') LIKE '%,blue,red%' How do I filter the data where it can come up with shoes that are available in red or blue or red and blue and so on? I could use where find_in_set('blue', colors) > 0 and find_in_set('red', colors) > 0 Is there a better way of doing this?  Shoe name: shoe A
Shoe size: 7,8,9 Shoe color:  black , brown, grey

For example could have a shoe available in black , size 8 or 9 or 8 and 9.

Happy New Year from a Newbie.   I have data in a MySql database table (let's call it data_table) which is input by users via a form. Their input consists of one or a list of items seperated by spaces. This ends up in one column (let's call it data_col) as in the following example format:   id      data_col 1       cat 2       elephant giraffe 3       dog rabbit 4       snake cat bird 5       fish dog ..       etc.   I need help with a PHP script to read only this column into a string variable with which I can then (a) use explode to seperate it into an array containing the seperated words and removing the spaces, if any, at the same time and (b) use array_unique to remove any duplicated words in the array, before finally displaying the array as an A-Z ordered list as below.   bird cat (duplicate removed) dog (duplicate removed) elephant fish giraffe rabbit snake   Many thanks for any help offered.

I have two tables.

Table Name:Users

Fields:

User_name
user_email
user_level
pwd


2.Reference

Fields:

refid
username
origin
destination

user_name in the users table and the username field in reference fields are common fields.



There is user order form.whenever an user places an order, refid field in reference table will be updated.So the user will be
provided with an refid

Steps:

1.User needs to log in with a valid user id and pwd
2.Once logged in, there will be search, where the user will input the refid which has been provided to him during the time of order placement.
3.Now User is able to view all the details for any refid
3.Up to this we have completed.

Query:

Now we need to retrieve the details based on the user logged in.

For eg: user 'USER A' has been provided with the referenceid '1234' during the time of order placement
user 'USER B' has been provided with the referenceid '2468' during the time of order placement

When the userA login and enter the refid as '2468' he should not get any details.He should get details only for the reference ids which is assigned to him.



<?php


session_start();

if (!$_SESSION["user_name"])


      

{
        // User not logged in, redirect to login page
        Header("Location: login.php");
     }
$con = mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("login", $con);
$user_name = $_POST['user_name'];
$refid = $_POST['refid'];
$query = "SELECT * from reference,users WHERE reference.username=users.user_name AND reference.refid='$refid' AND ";

$result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error('MySQL encountered a problem<br />Error: '  . mysql_error() . '<br />Query: ' . $query);

 while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo $row['refid'];
  echo $row['origin'];
  echo $row['dest'];
  echo $row['date'];
  echo $row['exdate'];
  echo $row['username'];
  }
echo "<p><a href=\"logout.php\">Click here to logout!</a></p>";
?>

Hello!

I have a 2D array that look as follows:

$test["name"][0] = "arnold";
$test["name"][1] = "nate";
$test["name"][2] = "steve";

$test["id"][0] = 2;
$test["id"][1] = 0;
$test["id"][2] = 1;

This means arnold has an ID of 2, nate has an ID of 0 and steve has an ID of 1.
Now I want to sort the array based on the ID value, so I want to achieve the following result:

$test["name"][0] = "nate";
$test["name"][1] = "steve";
$test["name"][2] = "arnold";

How would I achieve this? Help much appreciated.

How to sort PHP2d Array using upon key.  eg.
I have a array of
$users[0]['name'] = "abc"
$users[0]['age'] = "12"
$users[0]['sex'] = "M";

$users[1]['name'] = "xyz"
$users[1]['age'] = "15"
$users[1]['sex'] = "M";

$users[2]['name'] = "pqr"
$users[2]['age'] = "16"
$users[2]['sex'] = "F";

Now I have to sort in on age or 'sex',

The following code works, but I need to take it a step further and I'm not sure how. What I'd like to do is sort the output so the highest point totals get printed first (along with the associated information). Can anyone help?

Here's the site:

http://www.beat-the-spread.net/seasontotals.php


Here's the code:
Code: [Select]
$i=1;
$w=1;
$result = mysql_query( "
SELECT team_name, owner
FROM teams" );
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>\n",
"</td><td>",
$row['owner'],
"</td><td>",
$row['team_name'];

$result1 = mysql_query( "
SELECT bye, owner_pts
FROM schedule
WHERE team = $i");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result1);

while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{

$totalpts = $totalpts + $row1['owner_pts'];

if (empty($row1['bye']))
{
echo "</td><td>", $row1['owner_pts'], "</tr>\n";
}
else
{
echo "</td><td>","0","</tr>\n";
}

}

while ($num_rows<=16)
{
echo "</td><td>","","</tr>";
$num_rows++;
}

echo "</td><td>","$totalpts","</tr>";
$totalpts=0;
$w++;
$i++;
}

echo "</table>\n";

mysql_close($con);


Thanks!

Hi - I'm modifying some PHP code that someone else wrote. Below is a snippet of code that basically takes mp3 files files within all the folders in a directory, and creates an RSS feed. In the resulting feed, the files are intermingled in date order.

Instead, I'd like them sorted by the directory that they are in. So, if there are files in these directories:

01-First
02-Second
03-Third

I'd like all the files in the "01-First" directory to come before the "02-Second" directory and so on. Within each directory the files can be sorted as they currently are.  The name of the directory in the code is signified by $dir_name.

I tried sort() and array_multisort() but I couldn't get either of them to work the way I wanted.  Any thoughts?


if ($url_params['mode'] == 'rss2') {

print getRSSHeader('UTF-8', $device, $vm_config, $vm_name, $web_master, $logo_image,$context);
    $mailboxes = array();
if ($dev_dir = @opendir($VMHome . $device)) { //might fail if mailbox has not received first message yet
while ($f = readdir($dev_dir)) {
     if (!eregi("tmp","$f") && !eregi("\.+","$f") && !eregi("Exclude-From-CD", "$f")) { //skip tmp directory and Exclude-From-CD Directories   
     array_push($mailboxes,"$f"); #collect all existing mailboxes
     }
  }
     array_multisort($mailboxes, SORT_DESC);
foreach ($mailboxes as $mailbox) {
$files=array();
$dir_name = $VMHome . $device . '/'. $mailbox .'/'; 
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
while ($f = readdir($dir)) {
  if (eregi("\.txt",$f)){ #if filename matches .txt in the name
     array_push($files,"$f"); #push into $files array
  }
}
foreach($files as $file){
   $props = getProperties($dir_name, $file);
   $uid = getMP3File($dir_name, $file, $props, $device, $mailbox, $vm_config, $vm_name,$context);
   print getRSSItem ($props, $uid, $dir_name, $device, '/' . $mailbox . '/', $context);      
}
}

print  '
