outchy Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Hey guys, I have a MySQL database comprised of high school alumni members and I'm trying to display the information on a page broken down by one particular field (year) and having it repeat by year down the page. I would like the page to look something like this: CLASS of 1936 John Smith Karen Smith Mike Thomas Jane Warner CLASS of 1940 Tim Jones Mandy Minkle Rose Neelan Ralph Potter, etc. But I only know how to display all the information at once in one big list (see code below). Can anyone help guide me on how to achieve this? Thanks! <?php include('connection.php'); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `database` order by year asc, lastname asc"); // Define $color=1 $color="1"; echo '<head>'; echo '<title>WHS Alumni Association Members Database</title>'; echo '<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />'; echo '<script type="text/javascript" src="autoclear.js"></script>'; echo '</head>'; echo '<body>'; echo "<div id='container'>"; echo "<div class='pagename'> <a class='header' href='index.php'>WHS Alumni Association Members Database</a><br /><br /> <form method='post' action='search.php'> <input type='text' name='searchterm' id='search' value='Search' size='32' maxlength='32' onfocus='clearDefault(this)'> </form> </div> <!-- end pagename -->"; while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ if($color==1){ echo "<div class='bg1'>"; echo "<div class='pad'>"; echo "<span class='fullname'>"; if (!empty($rows['firstname'])) { echo "<span class='firstname'> ".stripslashes($rows['firstname'])." </span> <!-- end firstname -->"; } if (!empty($rows['middlename'])) { echo "<span class='middlename'> ".stripslashes($rows['middlename']).". </span> <!-- end middlename -->"; } if (!empty($rows['nickname'])) { echo "<span class='nickname'> "".stripslashes($rows['nickname'])."" </span> <!-- end nickname -->"; } if (!empty($rows['maidenname'])) { echo "<span class='maidenname'> (".stripslashes($rows['maidenname']).") </span> <!-- end maidenname -->"; } if (!empty($rows['lastname'])) { echo "<span class='lastname'> ".stripslashes($rows['lastname'])." </span> <!-- end lastname -->"; } echo "</span> <!-- end fullname -->"; if (!empty($rows['year'])) { echo "<div class='year'> <a href='".stripslashes($rows['year']).".php'>Class of ".stripslashes($rows['year'])."</a> </div> <!-- end year -->"; } if (!empty($rows['streetaddress'])) { echo "<div class='saddress'> ".stripslashes($rows['streetaddress'])." </div> <!-- end saddress -->"; } if (!empty($rows['mailingaddress'])) { echo "<div class='maddress'> ".stripslashes($rows['mailingaddress'])." </div> <!-- end maddress -->"; } if (!empty($rows['state'])) { echo "<div class='citystate'> ".stripslashes($rows['city']).", ".stripslashes($rows['state'])."

MadTechie Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 you should be able to add the subtitle text with a simple if statment ie $cYear = ""; while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ if($cYear != $rows['year']) //if year changed { $cYear = $rows['year'];//store new year echo "class of $cYear<br>";//display subtitle (this is the next year data) } //..continue with code Hope that helps Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/149277-solved-display-information-broken-down-by-field/#findComment-783953 Share on other sites More sharing options...
