PHP - Adding 2 Results With 1 Query?

Greetings,

I need a bit of php coding help.  I have a query that gives me results.  What I need to do is take those results and, I think, use php to compare the results and add a 1 to the correct section.

Example:

3 tables
table name- retail_sales
id
sales_id
amount
week

table name- online_sales
id
sales_id
amount
week

table name- sales_person
sales_id
name

I have the query that breaks down results by week:

week 1 | retail_sales.amount | online_sales.amount

What I need is some php code that will then compare the two together and:
 if retail_sales.amount > online_sales.amount +1 to retail
OR if retail_sales.amount < online_sales.amount +1 to online

so you would end up with a result like a sports record (6-2)

Any ideas

Thank you for any help

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!

case "update-delete":
	if(isset($_POST['highlight-purchased'])) 
		{
			// ****** Setup customized query to obtain only items that are checked ******
			$sql = "SELECT * FROM shoplist WHERE";
					for($i=0; $i < count($_POST['checkboxes']); $i++)
						{
							$sql=$sql . " idnumber=" . $_POST['checkboxes'][$i] . " or";
						}
					$sql= rtrim($sql, "or");
											
			$statement = $conn->prepare($sql);
			$statement->execute();
																						
			// *** fetch results for all checked items (1st query) *** //
			$result = $statement->fetchAll();

			$statement->closeCursor();
											
			// Setup query that will change the purchased flag to "N", if it's currently set to "Y"
			$sqlSetToN = "UPDATE shoplist SET purchased = 'N' WHERE purchased = 'Y'";
											
			// Setup query that will change the purchased flag to "Y", if it's currently set to "N", "", or NULL
			$sqlSetToY = "UPDATE shoplist SET purchased = 'Y' WHERE purchased = 'N' OR purchased = '' OR purchased IS NULL";

			$statementSetToN = $conn->prepare($sqlSetToN);
			$statementSetToY = $conn->prepare($sqlSetToY);
											
			/*** loop through the results/collection of checked items ***/
			foreach($result as $row)
				{
					if ($row["purchased"] != "Y")
						{
							// *** fetch one row at a time pertaining to the 2nd query *** //
							$resultSetToY = $statementSetToY->fetch();
															
							foreach($resultSetToY as $row)
								{															
									$statementSetToY->execute();																
								}
						}
					else
						{
							// *** fetch one row at a time pertaining to the 2nd query *** //
							$resultSetToN = $statementSetToN->fetch();
															
							foreach($resultSetToN as $row)
								{															
									$statementSetToN->execute();																
								}
						}
				}
				break;

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.

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

Hello,

I have a database that contains a column with a int value for number of slots reserved, and what I want to do is fetch the value of each column and add them together to create one whole number. For example, in my database under preserved I have two separate values of 2 and 4.. I would like to take those two values and add them up into 6 through php... here is what I have so far:


$slots = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM treservations WHERE reservation_date='$reservation_date' AND reservation_hour='$reservation_hour'") or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($slots)) {
     $row["preserved"];
}

mysql_free_result($slots);

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.. if I need to add additional code please let me know. Thank you!

I added a search form on my site but I cannot figure out how to add links to the search results.   The results are being posted as the item name and the item pages look like this used-product.php?Item=102   I am not understanding how I can have that url match up with my item name.   Here is my results.php code   In the header

<?php include_once('mysql_connect.php');


if (!isset($_POST['search'])) {
header ("Location:index.php");
}


$search_sql="SELECT * FROM new_equip WHERE itemname LIKE '% " .$_POST ['search'] . " %'";
$search_query=mysql_query($search_sql);
if(mysql_num_rows($search_query)!=0)  {
$search_rs=mysql_fetch_assoc($search_query);
}


?>

and where the results are being displayed

<?phpif (mysql_num_rows($search_query)!=0){


do {?>
    
     
<p><a href="new-product.php?Item=<?php echo $eid; ?>"><?php echo $search_rs ['itemname']?></a></p>




<?php } while ($search_rs=mysql_fetch_assoc($search_query)) ;


} else {
echo "No Results Found";
} 
?>

I have been on this and trying to figure out another issue I am having and I cannot figure out either of them. (The other is deleting a row from a table with the click of a link)   Any help on this would be greatly appreciated it. I have looked and trial and error all day and I cannot seem to get it.
