Repeat region - help needed

Recommended Posts

Hi

 

I am currently building a movie timeline and need some help with a repeat region issue.

 

The idea is that when someone submits a movie event - it gets positioned in the timeline accordingly. Obviously for events with the same year, I dont want repeat year headings.

 

I have added some if statements to remove duplicate year headings but its still not quite the result I am looking.

 

Currently, I have

 

2001------------------------------------------------2002--------------------------

movie event--movie event--movie event  |  movie event--movie event

 

What I need is

 

2001-------------2002

movie event    movie event

movie event    movie event

movie event    movie event

 

hope that makes sense

 

I am a newbie so appreciate any advice

 

my code looks like this:

 

<?php require_once('Connections/timeline.php'); ?>
<?php

if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) {

function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 

{

  $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;



  $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue);



  switch ($theType) {

    case "text":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";

      break;    

    case "long":

    case "int":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";

      break;

    case "double":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";

      break;

    case "date":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";

      break;

    case "defined":

      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;

      break;

  }

  return $theValue;

}

}



mysql_select_db($database_timeline, $timeline);

$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM film2 ORDER BY `year` ASC";

$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $timeline) or die(mysql_error());

$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);

$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
