Order query results by columns


paingul

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I\'m trying to order a mysql query by column, not by rows.

Let\'s say I have 6 results, so I want to output on screen smth. like:

 

1 | 4

2 | 5

3 | 6

 

and NOT like:

 

1 | 2

3 | 4

5 | 6

 

 

 

The code I currently use is [results are ordered in 2 columns]:

 

 




<TABLE width="85%" ALIGN="CENTER">

   <tr><td class="barre"> <font class="lien"><a href="../">Linkuri.ro</a> <? echo $a[0]; ?></font> </td></tr>

   <tr><td  class="barreclair">< </td></tr>

   <tr><td><?	





if ($ad==1) $query="SELECT * FROM $tablecatannu WHERE attach=\'$num\' ORDER BY $tri_cat ASC";

 else $query="SELECT * FROM $tablecatannu WHERE attach=\'$num\' AND actif=\'1\' ORDER BY $tri_cat ASC";

$result=mysql_query($query); if (!$result) { echo "<BR><FONT class=\'texte\'>Error!</FONT><BR>"; exit(); }

$n=mysql_numrows($result);

echo "<TABLE align=\'center\' width=\'85%\'>";

for ($i=0; $i<$n-1; $i=$i+2)

 { //left column

 $nom=mysql_result($result,$i,"nom");

 $num2=mysql_result($result,$i,"id");

 $description=mysql_result($result,$i,"description");

 $im=mysql_result($result,$i,"im");

 $actif=mysql_result($result,$i,"actif");	

 $nb_tot=mysql_result($result,$i,"nb_tot");

 $sous_cat=mysql_result($result,$i,"sous_cat");

 echo "<TR><TD width=\'40%\' align=\'left\'>";

 affcat($num2,$nom,$actif,$ad,$nb_tot,$im);

 if ($sous_cat!="") echo "<FONT class=\'lienp\'>$sous_cat</FONT>";

 echo "</TD>";

 //right column

 $nom=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"nom");

 $num2=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"id");

 $description=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"description");

 $im=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"im");

 $actif=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"actif");

 $nb_tot=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"nb_tot");

 $sous_cat=mysql_result($result,$i+1,"sous_cat");

 echo "<TD width=\'40%\' align=\'left\'>";

 affcat($num2,$nom,$actif,$ad,$nb_tot,$im);

 if ($sous_cat!="") echo "<FONT class=\'lienp\'>$sous_cat</FONT>";

 echo "</TD></TR>";

 }

if ($n%2==1) 

 {

 $nom=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"nom");

 $num2=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"id");

 $description=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"description");

 $im=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"im");

 $actif=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"actif");

 $sous_cat=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"sous_cat");

 $nb_tot=mysql_result($result,$n-1,"nb_tot");

 $size=100-strlen($nom);

 echo "<TR><TD width=\'$size%\' colspan=\'2\'>";

 affcat($num2,$nom,$actif,$ad,$nb_tot,$im);

 if ($sous_cat!="") echo "<FONT class=\'lienp\'>$sous_cat</FONT>";

 echo "</TD></TR>";

 }

 

echo "</TABLE>";



 

 

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

You code currently gives you

 

i | i+1

i+2 | i+3

...

...

n-1 | n

 

or something like that... Right ?

 

You want:

 

i | k + 1

i+1 | k +2

i+2 | k + 3

k

 

So if you have a total of 53 rows, k should be 27, resulting in 27 rows in the table, the last row consisting of 1 output only.

 

Calculate $n as you do. Make $k = ceiling($n/2)

Now you may use

 

Pseudocode:

[php:1:f262e15009]

$n = number of rows in query result;

$k = number of rows/2 rounded up //ceiling will be the last result in left coloumn.

$i = 0; // counter for output row

While $i < $k; $i++;{

//Left column:

$nom=mysql_result($result,$i,\"nom\");

//Right coloumn

$nom=mysql_result($result,($i+$k),\"nom\");

}

[/php:1:f262e15009]

This should work. You\'ll have to add some checking whether the number of rows is even or not (in the sql result) and adjust the output accordingly.

 

I hope this helps,

P., denmark
