PHP - Display In Chronological Order
I have info being pulled from 2 tables, I need to know how I can order by date from both table intermixing.............like table 2 has the soonest timestamp, then table 1 has the next , then table 2 has the one after that, how do I make it display info in order of table 2 info, table 1 info, table 2, info...........here is code that I been trying to use:
Code: [Select] <?php include 'config.php'; include 'opendb.php'; // if no id is specified, list the available articles if(!isset($_GET['id'])) { $query = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient ='$name' order by date desc"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); // create the article list while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) { list($from1, $recipient, $title1, $content, $id, $date, $read) = $row; if ($read == $userid){ $content1 .= "<br /><br /> $from1</p>\r\n"; $content2 .= "<br /><br /> <a href=\"/message.php?id=$id\">$title1</a>\r\n"; }else{ $content1 .= "<br /><br /> <strong>$from1</strong></p>\r\n"; $content2 .= "<br /><br /> <a href=\"/message.php?id=$id\">$title1</a>\r\n"; }} }else { // get the article info from database $query = "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE recipient='$name' ORDER by date desc"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); $title = $row['title']; $content = $row['content']; $to = $row['recipient']; $from = $row['from1']; $id = $row['id']; $read = $row['read']; } // if no id is specified, list the available articles if(!isset($_GET['id'])) { $self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; $query = "SELECT * FROM comments WHERE recipient='$name' order by date desc"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); // create the article list while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) { list($com_id, $userid, $id1, $id, $recipient, $comment, $sender, $title, $date, $read) = $row; if ($read == $userid){ $content1 .= "<br /><br /> $from1</p>\r\n"; $content2 .= "<br /><br /> <a href=\"/message.php?id=$id\">$title</a>\r\n"; }else { $content1 .= "<br /><br /> <strong>$from1</strong></p>\r\n"; $content2 .= "<br /><br /> <a href=\"/message.php?id=$id\">$title</a>\r\n"; }} } else { // get the article info from database $query = "SELECT * FROM comments WHERE recipient='$name' order by date desc"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); $row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC); $userid = $row['userid']; $id1 = $row['id1']; $id = $row['messageid']; $recipient = $row['recipient']; $comment = $row['comment']; $sender = $row['sender']; $title = $row['title']; $read = $row['read']; } include 'closedb.php'; ?> Similar TutorialsI have the following code which displays images and captions from a directory. I would like the images to be displayed in the order they were created. Somebody suggested I use glob(), but I have no idea how. <?php $dir = "exclusive_images/"; if ($opendir = opendir($dir)) { //read directory while(($file = readdir($opendir)) !==FALSE) { if ( file_exists($dir.'/'.$file) && in_array( strtolower(pathinfo($file,PATHINFO_EXTENSION )), array('png','jpg','jpeg','gif'))) { if (file_exists($dir.'/'.$file. '.txt')) $caption = file_get_contents($dir.'/'.$file. '.txt'); else $caption = ucwords(str_replace(array('-','_'),' ', substr($file, 0, (strlen ($file)) - (strlen (strrchr($file,'.')))))); echo '<tr><td><img src="' . $dir.'/'.$file .'" alt="'. $file .'" title="' . $file . '" width="200"></td><td>' . $caption . '</td></tr>'; } } } ?> This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=309973.0 I have a posting system worked out, as well as my database configured to my linking.. But as of right now, my posts are posted from oldest to newest, having users scroll down or go to the next page to see the most recent post.
How would I "flip" that around and make my posts start from newest to oldest by its date/time (Which is stored in the database)?
Thanks!
Hi everyone. I'm very new into self learning programming. Presently I'm trying to develop a simple basic Robot that would only Place a Market Order every seconds and it will cancel the Order every followed seconds. Using the following library: It would place Trade Order at a ( Price = ex.com api * Binance api Aggregate Trades Price) I have already wrote the api to call for xe.com exchange rate with php <?php $auth = base64_encode("username:password"); $context = stream_context_create([ "http" => [ "header" => "Authorization: Basic $auth" ] ]); $homepage = file_get_contents("https://xecdapi.xe.com/v1/convert_from?to=NGN&amount=1.195", false, $context ); $json = json_decode($homepage, TRUE); foreach ($json as $k=>$to){ echo $k; // etc }; ?> And also for the Binance Aggregate Price in JavaScript
<script> var burl = "https://api3.binance.com"; var query = '/api/v3/aggTrades'; query += '?symbol=BTCUSDT'; var url = burl + query; var ourRequest = new XMLHttpRequest(); ourRequest.open('GET',url,true); ourRequest.onload = function(){ console.log(ourRequest.responseText); } ourRequest.send(); </script>
My problem is how to handle these two api responds and also the functions to use them to place a trade and cancel it. Hello all, I need to make a rotating banner system for a client. They want about 5 banners to rotate with Javascript. However they want the visitor to sort of step through each one on each refresh. So if I have 5 banners and I go to the site, I see banner 1 and then the javascript rotates through each one. When I go back to the site, they want it to start with banner 2 and then the javascript will rotate through each one. Then on and on. Go back and see banner 3, then step through again. I have a nice Javascript image slider I'd like to use. It basically just requires the images in order. Like: <img src="1.jpg"/> <img src="2.jpg"/> <img src="3.jpg"/> <img src="4.jpg"/> <img src="5.jpg"/> I've thought about it and I think the best way to do this would just be using PHP and a cookie. So when the viewer first goes to the site, PHP checks for the cookie. If it exists, it pulls the starting image #. If it doesn't, it starts at 0 and sets the cookie. As for the images part, I figured an associate array would work well. The key would be what the cookie logic is based on, and then the image HTML would be in the array. So you visit the site without a cookie it would be... 0 => <img src="1.jpg"/> 1 => <img src="2.jpg"/> 2 => <img src="3.jpg"/> 3 => <img src="4.jpg"/> 4 => <img src="5.jpg"/> Then when you go back to the site, I need the array to be re-ordered like this: 0 => <img src="2.jpg"/> 1 => <img src="3.jpg"/> 2 => <img src="4.jpg"/> 3 => <img src="5.jpg"/> 4 => <img src="1.jpg"/> What's the best way to go about this array logic? My experience with manipulating data inside arrays is rather limited. Basically I need it to say "Start with key # and then reorder array based on that" I've got. I need to make 0, which displays as POA appear at the ned of the list not at the begining, I currently just use order by price asc and 0 is at the beginning, i need to make 0 at the end Currently i have a query which at the end has this Code: [Select] order by (value/counter) desc"); which works fine, however i was wondering, if in the case that 2 rows have the same, is it possible to set a second value to order by? I got this code from a previous thread: Code: [Select] mysql_query("SET @rows = 0;"); $res = mysql_query("SELECT @rows:=@rows+1 AS view_rank,COUNT(id) AS views, credit_members_id FROM vtp_tracking GROUP BY credit_members_id ORDER BY views DESC"); $n = array(1 => 'st', 2 => 'nd', 3 => 'rd'); while($row = mysql_fetch_row($res)) { if ( $row[2] != $members_id ) continue; if ( substr($row[0], -1) < 4 ) { $row[0] .= $n[$row[0]]; } else { $row[0] .= 'th'; } echo ' You are in ' . $row[0] . ' place with ' . number_format($row[1]) . ' views.'; break; } Everything seems ok except it orders by the "credit_members_id" and not "views" as entered. Can someone explain why, and how to fix this? Hi there, just registered and in need of help, this looks a good place to start! I'm a php beginner so please bear with me I have a mysql database which holds 3 pieces of info id: match: 1: I'm trying to sort the results using ORDER BY match ASC but for some reason it's just not for having it... Can't work out if it's an error with my php code or my table. I can order by "ID" no problem but I when I try ordering alphabetically by "match" it won't. my code is: Code: [Select] mysql_connect("***.***.***") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("database") or die(mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT * FROM employees WHERE flag = 'tv' ORDER BY match ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Query failed"); $numrows = (mysql_num_rows ($result)); // loop to create rows if($numrows >0){ echo "<table width = 100% border = '0' cellspacing = '2' cellpadding = '0' >"; // loop to create columns $position = 1; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ if($position == 1){echo "<tr>";} echo " <td align = 'center'><a href=\"http://www.website.eu/sport-stream/1/{$row['id']}.html\" target=_blank>{$row['match']} <br> <img src=\"{$row['8']}\" width=\"100\" height=\"70\" /> </a> </td> "; if($position == 4){echo "</tr> "; $position = 1;}else{ $position++;} }//while $end = ""; if($position != 1){ for($z=(4-$position); $z>0 ; $z--){ $end .= "<td></td>"; } $end .= "</tr>"; } echo $end."</table> "; }//if And here's a cap of my database: any help for a php n00b would be greatly appreciated! Hello, I have classes in a database with no set UNIX date, just the day like Wednesday and in two other columns the start and end dates. I want to be able to order by the day first and then by end_time but php orders the day column by spelling and not the day it holds in chronological order. Is there anyway to change the query to order the day column as a date? See the query below? Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT * FROM zumba_timetable WHERE end_time>'$current_time' ORDER BY day, end_time ASC LIMIT 0,1"; Hi All, I have a 'Newspaper' in a game I'm coding. My plan was to have an edition every week and on average 15 articles a week. I would set this out like so. . Code: [Select] <? $select_paper=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM paper WHERE id=1"); while($the=mysql_fetch_object($select_paper)){ ?> <table width=100% class=table> <tr> <td> <td width=50% style=border: none; background-color: transparent; valign=top> <table border=1 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 bordercolor=#000000 class='main' align=center> <tr> <td width=500 class='tableheading'><?php echo "$the->title"; ?><center> </center></td> </tr> <tr > <td class="profilerow" align=left><center><?php echo "$the->news"; ?> </td> </tr> <tr > <td class="subtableheader" align=left><center><?php echo "Article By $the->by - $the->date"; ?> </td> </tr> </table> <br> </td> <? } ?> With that repeated for 15 articles per edition. BUT! To save time, space and complication, I would rather do it using something like this. . Code: [Select] $select = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM paper WHERE edition=1 ORDER by id ASC"); $num = mysql_num_rows($select); Could someone tell me how to intergrate this with the layout tables as show in code #1? Thanks! I teach 6 different class groups, named "A" to "F", respectively. Lets say I have this query: $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Member ORDER BY posts DESC LIMIT 10"); while ($get = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ $row .= $get['id']; $posts .= $get['posts']; echo "$row - $posts<br />"; } Lets say I have two of rows, with posts fields of 84 and 803. When it displays it, it grabs the 84 row first, when I want the bigger number 803 first. Is there a way to fix this? Hi. Right I'm trying to write a little script that selects one random image from a group and displays it on the page. Here is my code... $TheCat = $data['album_name']; $GetAPicy = "SELECT photo_name, album FROM photos WHERE album = '$TheCat' ORDER BY rand LIMIT 1"; $rGetAPicy = mysql_query($GetAPicy) or die(mysql_error()); $Picy = mysql_fetch_array($rGetAPicy); With this code I get the following error Unknown column 'rand' in 'order clause' Obviously I can see the error but I dont understand where they are supposed to be placed. Can anyone help? I'm pulling a list from a DB and inserting it in a drop down menu. Each item on the list has a numerical id associated called marketid in the DB. It works, but it orders the list alphabetically. I need it to order by marketid which is the column name. What code do I need to add? Here is what I have now.... <option value="<?=$market['marketid']?>"><?=$market['name']?></option> Thanks in advance all!! Tony I have a database of assorted. Each row contains defined QUANTITIES for each column item. Example: columns for shirt, tie, pants, socks. A row would indicate a purchase of 2 shirts, 1 tie, 0 pants, 3 socks for customer A. Followed by a row indicate a purchase of 1 shirts, 1 tie, 4 pants, 2 socks for customer B, etc. Now I want to sort EACH item, group them by quantity, and get an ordered list by quantity, that provides me with something like this: 1 shirt customer B 2 shirt customer C 3 shirt customer F 3 shirt customer H 4 shirt customer D, etc. I am using this code for my query: $query = "SELECT brisket, COUNT(brisket) FROM pass GROUP BY brisket ORDER BY brisket ASC"; but it is not organizing the info in a correlated manner. Help? how do I order two tables by date so that the most recent are first and the most unrecent last? like table 1 should be first then a table 2 then a table 1. does this make sense? Script:
<?php $tqs_admin_flag = "SELECT * FROM `flags`"; $tqr_admin_flag = mysqli_query($dbc, $tqs_admin_flag) or die(mysqli_error($dbc)); while($row_admin_flag = mysqli_fetch_array($tqr_admin_flag)){ //print_r($row_admin_flag); $tqs_admin_flag_thread = "SELECT * FROM `thread` WHERE `id` = '" . $row_admin_flag['thread_id'] . "' ORDER BY `date_created` DESC"; $tqr_admin_flag_thread = mysqli_query($dbc, $tqs_admin_flag_thread) or die(mysqli_error($dbc)); while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($tqr_admin_flag_thread)){ include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/gallerysite/admin_flag_thread.php"); } } ?>This in comparison works: $tqs_admin_flag_thread = "SELECT * FROM `thread` ORDER BY `date_created` DESC";I would appreciate suggestions for which reasons the above script (the way it is) may not work. With the above script the querying and printing on screen does happen, though the "ordering by DESC" does not happen. Edited by glassfish, 24 October 2014 - 11:38 AM. |
