PHP - Help With Order A Result

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";

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?

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!!

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?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a point in the right direction. I just about to start my biggest coding project yet. (A Simple PHP Order form).

The client has suggested that they want a form for users to enter a reference code (from a catalog) of a product type how many items they want. It will generate a sub total. And if the total is over a certain amount discount will be given.

The form will also have the regular form fields as well. e.g Name, email, address etc...

Then all this will post to a email. I've created contact form scripts before. But is there any links or tutorials that could help me do this or even point me in the right direction.

Thanks for all the help

Is it possible to use the PDO with a statement that has ORDER BY tablename.

The program works fine but when I added the ORDER BY clause it outputted an error.

Is it maybe because I set the fetch mode to PDO::FETCH_OBJ? Or is that irrelevant?

This is the error that outputs:
Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'PDOException' with message 'SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'BY task_position' at line 1' in /tasks.php(38): PDO->query('SELECT * FROM t...') #1 tasks.php(57): tasks->grab_tasks('2') #2 {main} thrown in tasks.php on line 38
It normally worked without the ORDER BY.

Here is my MYSQL call:

$grabber = $this->pdo->query('SELECT * FROM tasks WHERE user_id = ' . $userid . "ORDER BY 'task_position'");
$grabber->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);



 

I need to add ORDER BY name ASC to this code

Code: [Select]
foreach($db->query("SELECT * FROM company_subcategory WHERE category_id = ".(int) $category_id) as $row) { $r[] = new CompanySubCategory($row['subcategory_id'], $row);}
Tried to do it like this, but it doesn't work

Code: [Select]
foreach($db->query("SELECT * FROM company_subcategory WHERE category_id = ".(int) $category_id ORDER BY name ASC) as $row) { $r[] = new CompanySubCategory($row['subcategory_id'], $row);}
Any help much appreciated

Thanks in advance

I'm just trying to see if the order of my logic is correct or if there's something I can do differently.  I'm also curious to know at what point I should get the 2 passwords that exists in the database for the user. These are two different passwords.

Code: [Select]
function login_submit()
    {
        $this->form_validation->set_rules('username', 'Username', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('password', 'Password', 'trim|required|xss_clean');
$this->form_validation->set_rules('remember', 'Remember me', 'integer');
       
        $user_id = $this->users->get_user_id_by_username($this->input->post('username'));
       
        if ($user_id !== 0)
        {
            if ($this->kow_auth->is_max_login_attempts_exceeded($user_id))
            {
                echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Your account is currently locked, we appologize for the inconvienence. You must wait 10 minutes before you can login again!'));
            }
            else
            {
                $user_status = $this->users->get_user_status($user_id);
               
                if ($user_status == 1)
                {
                    echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Sorry you must verify your account before logging in!'));                   
                }
                elseif ($user_status == 3)
                {
                    echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Your account has been suspended!'));         
                }
                elseif ($user_status == 4)
                {
                    echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Your account is currently banned!'));         
                }
                elseif ($user_status == 5)
                {
                    echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Your account has been deleted!'));     
                }
                else
                {
                    if ($this->form_validation->run()) {
                        if ($this->kow_auth->login($this->form_validation->set_value('username'), $this->form_validation->set_value('password'), $this->form_validation->set_value('remember')))
                        {
                            redirect('');
        }
                        else
                        {
                            echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Incorrect username and password combination!'));
                        }
                    }
                }                                             
            }               
        }
        else
        {
            echo json_encode(array('error' => 'yes', 'message' => 'Incorrect username and password combination!'));
        }           
       
    }

I'm working on a simple ad server and would like to display the ads in order (not random).

I'm fairly certain I can do something like this:

Code: [Select]
// Get the last ad id, or becomes 0 if not available
$lastid = ($_GET['lastid'] == '') ? '0' : $_GET['lastid'];

// Get the next ad in order, or get the first one available
mysql_query("SELECT adcode FROM ads WHERE zone='$zoneid' AND id > $lastid ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT 1");

The above code would get the first ad or the next ad in order.. How do I go back to the beginning when I run out of ads to show?

By not using the order by function in SQL.

Like I have $match_1 and $segment_1. They are two seperate tables so how would I order them like the ORDER BY in sql. Is there a way to do that?

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?

SELECT field1 FROM table1 ORDER BY field2, field3

However I need to add something in so it also orders by a value that is returned from a calculation:

SELECT field1 FROM table1 ORDER BY field2, (if field 4=="" and field 5==1 then order these records in order), field3

So they are ordered by field2, then the calculation, then field3

Can someone please explain to me what's the importance of node order? Does certain nodes that appear first or last have impact on traversing time?

Any suggestions much appreciated!

I want to get the top 5 rows with common keywords how can i do this?
its like this Code: [Select]
$query = "SELECT adder,min(title)FROM shsh group by adder order by mysql_num_rows($q)";
