PHP - Paging Through Results From Query Based On Form Variables

Hello,

I am trying to get a page that shows a list of parts, with their quantities, condition and type.

So parts that are identical are counted as 2, 3 etc if they are the same part, condition and type.

But if one or more parts of the same type has any one of those variables different to the rest, it/they need to come out on a new line with the correct quantity against them.

I have tried using arrays and I can get the quantities working against each part but don't know how to adapt it to achieve what I want.

Here is what I have so far:

// GET ALL THE PARTS FROM THIS **ONE SUPPLIER** AND FIND OUT THE QUANTITIES...

include("../dbconnectlocal.php") ;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT supplier, partNumber, newUsed, jobType, directIndirect, currency, vat, total FROM pourbaskets

  WHERE enquiryRef = '$enqId' AND supplier = '$sSup' ORDER BY

  partNumber DESC")or die(mysql_error()) ;
$quantity = 0 ;
$currentCount = 1 ;

$partQuantityArray = array() ; // The box for our parts against their quantities.
$partsBag = array() ; // For finding out how many unique parts there are later.
$partCount = mysql_num_rows($result) ; // How many parts in total.
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // While we are going through each part found...

$part = $row['partNumber'] ;

$cond = $row['newUsed'] ;

$jtyp = $row['jobType'] ;

$curr = $row['currency'] ;

$vat  = $row['vat'] ;

$tota = $row['total'] ;

array_push($partsBag, $part) ;

if($partCount == 1) { // Just one part...

$quantity = 1 ;

array_push($partQuantityArray, $part, $quantity) ;

}

if(!$prevItem && $partCount != 1 { // Is the first item and not the only one...

$prevItem = $part ; // Set it to be the previous...

$quantity++ ; // Increase quantity (to 1 now)...

}

elseif($currentCount == $partCount && $partCount != 1) { // If it's the last one in the list and not the only one...

if($prevItem != $part) {

array_push($partQuantityArray, $prevItem, $quantity) ;

$quantity = 1 ;

array_push($partQuantityArray, $part, $quantity) ;

//$prevItem = $part ;

}

elseif($prevItem == $part) { // The final part is the same as the last one...

$quantity++ ;

array_push($partQuantityArray, $part, $quantity) ;

}

else {

array_push($partQuantityArray, $part, $quantity) ;

}

}

elseif($prevItem == $part) { // If the current item is the same as the last item...

$quantity++ ;

// Increase quantity...

}

elseif($partCount != 1) { // If it's a new item and not the only one, store the quantity of the last item, and start at 1...

array_push($partQuantityArray, $prevItem, $quantity) ;

$quantity = 1 ;

$prevItem = $part ;

}

$currentCount++ ;
}
print_r($partQuantityArray) ;exit();

I have attached what I would like it to come out as.

Hi. I'm trying to make a sort of a forum, and this is the part of the code that needs to be changed, only I don't know how.
Code: [Select]
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY id DESC";
// OREDER BY id DESC is order result by descending
$result=mysql_query($sql);
?>
<table width='50%' border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
<?php
$limit=10;
$page=0;
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($result);
$pages = intval($numrows/$limit);
if ($numrows % $limit) {
$pages++;}
$current = ($page/$limit) + 1;
if (($pages < 1) || ($pages == 0)) {
$total = 1;}
else {
$total = $pages;}
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $page,$limit");
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){?>
<tr><td><font size="+2"><a href="view_topic.php?id=<? echo $rows['id']; ?>"><? echo $rows['topic']; ?></a><BR></font></td>
<td width='0*'><? echo $rows['datetime']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td><? echo substr($rows['detail'], 0, 250)."..."; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="view_topic.php?id=<? echo $rows['id']; ?>"><? echo "Citeste mai mult";} ?></a>
</td></tr>
<tr><tr><td>
<?
if ($page != 0) { // Don't show back link if current page is first page.
$back_page = $page - $limit;
echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$back_page&limit=$limit\">back</a>    \n");}
for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++) // loop through each page and give link to it.
{
 $ppage = $limit*($i - 1);
 if ($ppage == $page){
 echo("<b>$i</b>\n");} // If current page don't give link, just text.
 else{
 echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$ppage&limit=$limit\">$i</a> \n");}
}
if (!((($page+$limit) / $limit) >= $pages) && $pages != 1) { // If last page don't give next link.
$next_page = $page + $limit;
echo("    <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$next_page&limit=$limit\">next</a>");}
?>
</td></tr></tr><?php
mysql_close();
?>
</table>

I made a database with 4 fields and 11 entries. The script shows the last 10 entries just as it should, but when I click on the 'next' button, nothing happens (it should show the first entry, but it just refreshes the page, and still the last 10 entries/1st page are shown). I think it has something to do with the link, but I can't figure out what exactly.
Can someone help, or at least give me a hint? Thanks in advance. Bye.

Hello all,   Based on the suggestion of you wonderful folks here, I went away for a few days (to learn about PDO and Prepared Statements) in order to replace the MySQLi commands in my code. That's gone pretty well thus far...with me having learnt and successfully replaced most of my "bad" code with elegant, SQL-Injection-proof code (or so I hope).   The one-and-only problem I'm having (for now at least) is that I'm having trouble understanding how to execute an UPDATE query within the resultset of a SELECT query (using PDO and prepared statements, of course).   Let me explain (my scenario), and since a picture speaks a thousand words I've also inlcuded a screenshot to show you guys my setup:   In my table I have two columns (which are essentially flags i.e. Y/N), one for "items alreay purchased" and the other for "items to be purchased later". The first flag, if/when set ON (Y) will highlight row(s) in red...and the second flag will highlight row(s) in blue (when set ON).   I initially had four buttons, two each for setting the flags/columns to "Y", and another two to reverse the columns/flags to "N". That was when I had my delete functionality as a separate operation on a separate tab/list item, and that was fine.   Now that I've realized I can include both operations (update and delete) on just the one tab, I've also figured it would be better to pare down those four buttons (into just two), and set them up as a toggle feature i.e. if the value is currently "Y" then the button will set it to "N", and vice versa.   So, looking at my attached picture, if a person selects (using the checkboxes) the first four rows and clicks the first button (labeled "Toggle selected items as Purchased/Not Purchased") then the following must happen:   1. The purchased_flag for rows # 2 and 4 must be switched OFF (set to N)...so they will no longer be highlighted in red. 2. The purchased_flag for row # 3 must be switched ON (set to Y)...so that row will now be highlighted in red. 3. Nothing must be done to rows # 1 and 5 since: a) row 5 was not selected/checked to begin with, and b) row # 1 has its purchase_later_flag set ON (to Y), so it must be skipped over.   Looking at my code below, I'm guessing (and here's where I need the help) that there's something wrong in the code within the section that says "/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/". I've probably made it more complex than it should be, and that's due to the fact that I have no idea what I'm doing (or rather, how I should be doing it), and this has driven me insane for the last 2 days...which prompted me to "throw in the towel" and seek the help of you very helpful and intellegent folks. BTW, I am a newbie at this, so if I could be provided the exact code, that would be most wonderful, and much highly appreciated.   Thanks to you folks, I'm feeling real good (with a great sense of achievement) after having come here and got the great advice to learn PDO and prepared statements.   Just this one nasty little hurdle is stopping me from getting to "end-of-job" on my very first WebApp. BTW, sorry about the long post...this is the best/only way I could clearly explaing my situation.   Cheers guys!

	if(isset($_POST['highlight-purchased'])) 
		{

						}
					$sql= rtrim($sql, "or");
											
			$statement = $conn->prepare($sql);
			$statement->execute();
																						
			// *** fetch results for all checked items (1st query) *** //
			$result = $statement->fetchAll();

What would be the correct way to close a mysql query?

At current the second query below returns results from the 1st query AND the 2nd query
The 3rd query returns results from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd query.
 etc etc.

At the moment I get somthing returned along the lines of...

I'm trying to pull results from a database based on where the user is located based upon the variables $usr_lat & $usr_lng, and search for by a radius of x amount of miles/km (need to make it optional). I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for on google so I thought I'd asked here. Any help would be appreciated.
