You, sir, are a lifesaver. Many thanx =)

in short, how do i define the *other* 'value' to a variable? i have the: // display results while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) { $user_postcode = $list['value']; $distance = $list['distance']; $distance = round($distance);

this: SELECT d.value, c.value, d.user_id, (SQRT(POW((b.x - a.x), 2) + POW((b.y - a.y), 2))/1000) * 0.621 AS distance FROM postcodes a, postcodes b, wp_bp_xprofile_data c JOIN wp_bp_xprofile_data d ON c.user_id=d.user_id AND d.field_id=1 WHERE a.outcode = '".$postcode."' AND b.outcode = c.value ($postcode variable entered as a string, of course) when executed on mysql, returns exactly the rows i want, the way i want them.. Now i just need to figure out how to output it.. Progress!!

Ok, seems like that query does return 2 values, but the values are the same. echo "'$result1'" shows this: 'Resource id #4''Resource id #4' I think my brain is bleeding, but it's so close..... Would a fresh pair of eyes tell me what i'm missing? =)

Great stuff!! this query works with no errors: // database query to find postcodes withinh x ($area) distance from submitted postcode $query1 = "SELECT d.value, c.value, d.user_id, (SQRT(POW((b.x - a.x), 2) + POW((b.y - a.y), 2))/1000) * 0.621 AS distance FROM postcodes a, postcodes b, wp_bp_xprofile_data c JOIN wp_bp_xprofile_data d ON c.user_id=d.user_id AND d.field_id=1 WHERE a.outcode = '".$postcode."' AND b.outcode = c.value HAVING (distance < '".$area."') ORDER BY distance asc "; now a last noobie questtion.. How to i define the 2 separate values? this is what i have: // display results while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) { $user_postcode = $list['value']; $distance = $list['distance']; $distance = round($distance); and However, it is showing me the PostCode twice (i need to pluck out the other 'value' Thanks again for the help! =)

Hello, in short, here is my problem: There are 2 tables: a table called postcodes, which contains UK postcodes and a table called wp_bp_xprofile_data (i want to integrate this search with the Buddypress plugin's tables) which contains the user data. I tried searching this, but to be honest, i didn't quite know how to go about it.. Here is what i have: $query1 = "SELECT value, user_id, (SQRT(POW((b.x - a.x), 2) + POW((b.y - a.y), 2))/1000) * 0.621 AS distance FROM postcodes a, postcodes b, wp_bp_xprofile_data WHERE a.outcode = '"$postcode"' AND b.outcode = wp_bp_xprofile_data.value HAVING (distance < '"$area"') ORDER BY distance asc "; $result1=mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error()); echo "<p style=\"font-size:10px;line-height:14px;color:#888;\">Straight line distances shown.<br>"; echo "<table border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"100%\" ><tr>"; // display results while ($list = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) { $user_postcode = $list['value']; $distance = $list['distance']; $distance = round($distance); echo "<td align=\"right\">$distance miles away</td></tr>"; echo "<tr><td colspan=\"3\" align=\"left\" width=\"130px\">$user_postcode </td>"; echo "<td align=\"right\"><a href=\"blahblah\">Directions using Google Maps</a></td>"; echo "<tr><td align=\"left\"> </td><tr>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; id field_id user_id value 1 1 1 admin 8 3 3 NW10 6 1 3 Test User 1 9 4 3 IT, Web Development 11 1 4 Test User 2 12 3 4 HA5 13 4 4 Test, It, Some Work outcode x y latitude longitude B10 392900 804900 57 -2 AB11 394500 805300 57 -2 AB12 393300 801100 57 -2 AB13 385600 801900 57 -2 AB14 383600 801100 57 -2 Here is an example of what i need: field_id "3" corresponds to a postcode. My script so far, can search a postcode and return results with the postcodes sorted by distance. What i'm trying to do, is also get the username on the result (i.e the 'value' column again..). in short, im trying to search a postcode, find it on wp_bp_xprofile_data, associate it with the correspondent user, and return both. Someone told me i need to INNER JOIN, but im lost.. The end result im looking for is if i type the search: "NW9 1AA" It returns: Test User 1 NW10 Test User 2 HA5 (the code sorts them by distance. So far i can get it to return the postcode, but cannot associate the relevant name. Can anyone help me with this? I hope this is in the right forum. Thanks for your attention.
