php / sql select list help please

Recommended Posts

The objective of this is to create a dynamic select list...
My Current Code:
[code]<?
$chptrfile_query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT file_name,chapter_id FROM video_file WHERE listing_id=1");
              $myresults = mysql_fetch_assoc($chptrfile_query);
              
              $chptrtitle_query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT chapter_title,id FROM chapters WHERE id=$myresults[chapter_id]");
            $myresults2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($chptrtitle_query);
             echo  $myresults['file_name'];
             echo "<br>";
             echo $myresults2['chapter_title'];
?> [/code]

This Returns:

losfelizvillas (which i want to be the value of the select list)
Full Trailer (which i want to be the display name of the select list)


My issue is.. Looping through the results so all the results are in the select list rather then just the first.... I hope this make sense and that someone can guide me to my solution. Thank you so much in advance

try putting $myresults2 into a while loop

eg:
[code]while($myresults2 = mysql_fetch_assoc($chptrtitle_query)){
             echo  $myresults['file_name'];
             echo "<br>";
             echo $myresults2['chapter_title'];
             // your option tags would go here, rather than the echos above
}[/code]

Try this. How many results does it say are returned?

[code]<?    $chptrfile_query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT file_name,chapter_id FROM video_file WHERE listing_id=1");
        $myresults = mysql_fetch_assoc($chptrfile_query);
              
        $chptrtitle_query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT chapter_title,id FROM chapters WHERE id=$myresults[chapter_id]");
            $num = mysql_num_rows($chptrtitle_query);
            echo "$num results returned<br><br>";
            while($myresults2 = mysql_fetch_array($chptrtitle_query)){
                echo  $myresults['file_name'];
                 echo "<br>";
                echo $myresults2['chapter_title'];
                echo "<br><br>";
            }    ?>[/code]

So are you wanting to loop through the results of the first query as well?

If so, try this:

[code]<?    $chptrfile_query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT file_name,chapter_id FROM video_file WHERE listing_id=1");
        while($myresults = mysql_fetch_assoc($chptrfile_query)){
            $chptrtitle_query = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT chapter_title,id FROM chapters WHERE id=$myresults[chapter_id]");
            while($myresults2 = mysql_fetch_array($chptrtitle_query)){
                echo  $myresults['file_name'];
                 echo "<br>";
                echo $myresults2['chapter_title'];
                echo "<br>";
            }
        }    ?>[/code]
