Sorry for the topic title not explaining much, but I did not now how to word it!

 

I was previous given some code at http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/php-coding-help/streamlining-dreamweaver-generated-php-code/msg1459677/#msg1459677 that created a header every time a crtieria changed, in this case a players position.

 

I have tried to tailor this to another page but have got it wrong somewhere. In this instance I was a change of date to be the determining factor. For example, with what I have tried so far, the output is

2011-04-02

Lowestoft Town v Tonbridge Angels

 

2011-04-02

Tooting & Mitcham United v Maidstone United

 

2011-04-02

Wealdstone v Concord Rangers

 

2011-04-09

Hastings United v Margate

 

2011-04-09

AFC Hornchurch v Carshalton Athletic

 

2011-04-09

Billericay Town v Aveley

 

when I actually want

 

2011-04-02

Lowestoft Town v Tonbridge Angels

Tooting & Mitcham United v Maidstone United

Wealdstone v Concord Rangers

 

2011-04-09

AFC Hornchurch v Carshalton Athletic

Billericay Town v Aveley

 

I have tried to adjust the code to reflect the different query etc but something is missing.

 

Thinking further ahead, there will also be a second criteria, in that games in different competitions could be played on the same day so I would also want to group the output by the competition ('comp' in the table) to get

 

2011-04-02

League

Lowestoft Town v Tonbridge Angels

Tooting & Mitcham United v Maidstone United

Cup

Wealdstone v Concord Rangers

 

2011-04-09

League

AFC Hornchurch v Carshalton Athletic

Cup

Billericay Town v Aveley

 

I would imagine that would just mean drilling down one more level in the code once I get this bit right.

 

The tables, with a sample of data are 

CREATE TABLE `all_games` (
  `all_games_id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `date` date default NULL,
  `time` time default NULL,
  `comp` int(11) NOT NULL default '1',

The query is

$all_games = mysql_query("SELECT *, HT.team_name as HomeTeam, VT.team_name as AwayTeam, COMP.comp_short_name as CP
FROM all_games
JOIN teams as HT ON all_games.home_team = HT.team_id
JOIN teams as VT ON all_games.away_team = VT.team_id 
JOIN competitions as COMP ON all_games.comp = COMP.comp_id  ORDER BY date ASC 
");
if (!$all_games) {
    die("Query to show fields from table failed");

And the code that echoes the right values, but does not seperate the the dates is

if($all_games)
{
if(mysql_num_rows($all_games)) 
{
    $lastdate = 0;
    while ($row_all_games = mysql_fetch_assoc($all_games))
{

// when the date changes output a new heading
            if($lastdate = $row_all_games['date'])
            {
                echo "<h1>".strtoupper($row_all_games['date'])."</h1>";
                $lastdate = $row_all_games['date'];
               
            }
    echo $row_all_games['HomeTeam']." v ".$row_all_games['AwayTeam'];
        }
    }

  else
    {
        echo "No results!";
    }
}

 

I must admit that I have tried a few variations but the nearest I have got is for the page to echo "No results!"

 

I may be a fraction off getting it right or a million miles away so if anyone can give any pointers I will be very grateful.

 

Thanks in advance

Steve

Not sure I completely get what you're saying here, but this will get today's date:

 

$today = date("Y-m-d");

 

as 2011-01-20

 

Then compare your stored date (i think its $row_all_games['date']) to today's date and if they are equal do whatever it is that is date dependent.

 

Make sense? Ill try to poke through your code and see if I can understand it better, I just glanced at it quickly. Hope thats what you're trying to do..  :D

if($lastdate = $row_all_games['date'])

 

^^^ You buggered up that line by changing the original != comparison operator to an = assignment operator. You are assigning $row_all_games['date'] to the variable $lastdate, not comparing the two.

I knew that it would be something to do with my stupid chunky fingers!! I looked and looked but could not find the error!

Apologies for unsolving this but I thought I would be able to solve the next bit on my own, but couldn't and thought it would be rude to start another thread.

 

Everything worked fine until I tried to add the extra separation by competition that I mentioned.

 

I have added a 'comp_id ASC' ORDER BY to the query and have amended the code as such

if ($all_games)
{
if(mysql_num_rows($all_games)) 
{
    $lastdate = 0;
            while ($row_all_games = mysql_fetch_assoc($all_games))
            {

// when the date changes output a new heading
            if($lastdate != $row_all_games['date'])
            {
                echo "<br/><b>".strtoupper($row_all_games['date'])."</b><br/>";
                 $lastdate = $row_all_games['date'];
               
            };


// when the competitione changes output a new heading			
$lastcomp = 0;
    if($lastcomp != $row_all_games['comp'])
            {
                echo "<b>".$row_all_games['comp_name']."</b><br/>";
                 $lastcomp = $row_all_games['comp'];
               
            };

    echo $row_all_games['HomeTeam']." v ".$row_all_games['AwayTeam']."<br/>";
        }
    }

  else
    {
        echo "No results!";
    }
}

 

Once again I really thought that I had got it dead right but it shows the competition above every game (http://www.margate-fc.com/content/test/stats/games2.php?date1=2011-04-02&date2=2011-04-25&teams=&submit=Filter).

 

I have run through the processing theory in my head, checked for typos, have double-checked placement of curly brackets and semi-colons and moved things around to see what the problem might be. I have even tried to enclose the whole new competitions bit and tried to combine it with the original as an if/else but cannot get anything to work.

 

What have I done wrong this time?!?!?!?

 

Thanks as always

Steve
