PHP - Php Sort Mysql Results Into Three Columns And Sort By Parent

How to sort data from table? Currently its sorted by ID. But I want to add option that admin can sort data (click on up/down link or whatever).

Its about forum script and all forums have categories. Forum and categories are in same table. Forum "parent" is ID of category. So i have following sorting:

Cat1        [ID1]  
->Forum1    [ID2] [PARENT1]
->Forum2    [ID3] [PARENT1]

Cat2       [ID4]
->Forum3   [ID5] [PARENT2]
->Forum4   [ID6] [PARENT2]


I need to add additional field "sort". On click admin can UPDATE sorting by increasing/decreasing number. But problem is categories and forum are in same table. If I want to move up FORUM1 (ID2) with (for example) "sort" number 2 I must decrease number (-1) and that forum will be with same sort number as category above.
Also if I want to move Category up/down it also must move all forums from that category (but that is not big problem).

What is best way to solve this?

So basically I have a database full of players 'items'. Each player has 2 items. and I need to make a circle with these players with only specific items involved. Each circle can only contain 6 players.

The items needed to create this circle a
pigs
spice
sugar
cows
aluminium
marble
iron
lumber
wheat
water
random
random

so 10 resources are literally needed to create this circle but 12 is needed to make it a 'circle' if you get me.

I'd like to note that it is possible that any of these players can have a combination of any of resources listed above.

I've created a form that allows people to submit players resources into my mysql database. I heard it was possible that I could code some type of filter/sort code to sort out the players resources from my database automatically into a set that will match what is needed (without any repeat of resources) and having a php code to export it into html format for viewing pleasures. I really have no idea how to go about this in mysql or php. But if somebody could help me out i'd be ever so glad.

Also to note: this isn't school work or something. It's from a game I play and i'm just trying to make my job in it easier.

I was thinking of maybe a php code that will run through all the possible partners in order to create this set like run through 100s of different sets until the required set is obtained. I heard this is just about possible. Can anyone help me?

Looking forward to all the great help around here.

Thanks

PS: Each item/resource can only appear once in each circle.

I have a MySQL table with a list of albums and there is a field called "views" with the number of views each album has received. I'm looking to generate an array of all the albums in the table and sort the array by the number of views (descending). I have a list of functions defined in a ContentController.php file. I created a new function called build_albumlist, which I've pasted below. The function "get_ip_log" already exists and works, and I used it as a template to create the "build_albumlist" function:





   public function build_albumlist(){
      return $this->select_raw("SELECT * FROM albums WHERE deleted = '0' ORDER BY views DESC",array(),'all');
   }

public function get_ip_log(){
      return $this->select_raw("SELECT * FROM sessions ORDER BY ID DESC",array(),'all');
   }


When I use the function, I get this warning:


Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given inC:\xampp\htdocs\Controllers\DBController.php on line 10

[font=cabin, 'trebuchet ms', helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The "select_raw" function that I used in "build_albumlist" is defined in the DBController.php file, and is defined as below:[/font]
private function clean_array($params){
      $final=array();
      foreach($params as $param){
         $final[]=mysql_real_escape_string($param);
      }
      return $final;
   }
   public function select_raw($query,$params,$type=''){
      $query=str_replace("?","'%s'",$query);
      $final_query= call_user_func_array('sprintf', array_merge((array)$query, $this->clean_array($params)));
      if($type==''){
         $result=mysql_query($final_query) or die(mysql_error());
         return mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
      }
      elseif($type=='all'){
         $result=mysql_query($final_query) or die(mysql_error());
         $final=array();
         while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
            $final[]=$row;
         }
         return $final;
      }


Does anyone know why the "build_albumlist" function is generating this warning, while the "get_ip_log" is not? Any help would be great, as I am obviously pretty new to this.

Hi again, i'm wondering how can i make Sort (for example a-z) an column in php reading mysql informations.

Hi,
This has been baffling me for a couple hours now and i cant seem to figure it out.
I have some code which creates an array and gets info from a mysql database and then displays in a list. This works great but after adding more and more rows to my database the list is now becoming quite large and doesnt look great on my site.
Is it possible to split the list into multiple columns of about 25 and if possible once 3 or 4 columns have been created start another column underneath.
To help explain i would be looking at a layout as follows:
Code: [Select]
line 1      line 1      line 1
line 2      line 2      line 2
...      ...      ...
line 25      line 25      line 25

line 1      line 1      line 1
line 2      line 2      line 2
...      ...      ...
line 25      line 25      line 25Im guessing there should be some sort of if statement to check how many items are being displayed and to create a new column if necessary. Is this correct?

Thanks,
Alex

Hello!If i have a table let's say ( Name, Age, Date etc ...), how can i do to sort data table DESC or ASC by clicking in Name, Age and then retrive the same page ( index.php let's say ) with sorted data?

Hello,

I have a code which displays name and number. It is working now but  I want to sort the content on the basis of number... The code is given below:

while($rows = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
echo "". $rows['username'] ." ". $rows['COUNT(Completed_Sales)'] ."";
   
   echo "<br />";
}

The result will look like this

Name Prdoducts.

statez : I need to sort the results from the high score to the low score.

$query = "SELECT statez, COUNT(statez)FROM distributors GROUP BY statez"; 
$results = mysql_query($query);
$returnS="";
while($line = mysql_fetch_array($results))
{
$returnS.= $line['COUNT(statez)'].",,".$line['statez'].",,,";
}
echo $returnS;
mysql_close($link);
?>

$gruppe = $_REQUEST['gruppe'];

// Running the MySQL query
if($_REQUEST['password'] == "something")
{
$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM medlemmer WHERE tilknytning = '$gruppe'");
//$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM medlemmer");
// Pulling up the results and iterating through them
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($results)) {
// Emailing each member

$ToEmail = $row->email; 
$EmailSubject = "BGA Nyhedsbrev"; 
$mailheader = "From: BGA\n";

} 
mysql_query($query) or die("Nyhedsbrev udsendt med succes!<br><br><a href='nyhedsbrev.php'>Tilbage</a>");

}
if ($query)

{
echo "Nyhedsbrev udsendt med succes!<br><br>";

I think I have to use arrays but I am not sure at all.

Can someone help me here?

Is there a way to use sort($Array) on numbers but reverse it. So instead of 1 to 3 itll do 3 to 1 ? AKA descending order?

Can't find a function that would do unless theres a second sort function ?

Thanks

SELECT domains_url, SUBSTRING(domains_url, 1, 1) AS letter
FROM a
INNER JOIN domains ON a_domain=domains_id
ORDER BY letter ASC, domains_url ASC

when I use this it will sort like   hello-world.co.uk hello-zulu.co.uk hello.co.uk   but I am hoping to get the hello first,   any ideas please?

Hey, I'm trying to make a script which will match a textbox value against a database, and then sort <=.

I've got this so far;

<input name="search" id="search" type="text">
<input name="year" id="year" type="text">

$search = $_GET['search'];
$year = $_GET['year'];

SELECT * FROM table WHERE MATCH(Place, Land, Yeartime) AGAINST('%$search%' IN BOOLEAN MODE)

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Yeartime <= '%$year%'

This is what I want to accomplish, but the line doesn't seem to work?

SELECT * FROM table WHERE MATCH(Place, Land, Yeartime) AGAINST('%$searsearch%' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AND Yeartime <= '%$year%' ORDER BY Yeartime";
