Bigger Query Instead of Using arrays, and Pagination Help

[imperium2335]

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a view where the user can sort by any column.

 

What I have made so far works great, but when it comes to pagination, which I will be trying soon, I foresee a problem .

 

The thing is, my code gets data out of a database and puts it into a multidimensional array, which is sorted using afew array sorting functions.

 

It is a query that drives the main loop, and inside that loop are other queries that get various data from other tables, which is where the problem lies when coming to sort with pagination.

 

What I would like to know is how would I build a myslq query that can accomplish the same thing as my code, but do away with the need for the arrays?

 

My code is here, sorry about it being so long:

 

<?PHP



if($_POST['targetid']) {



$box = array() ;



if($_POST['type']) {

	$extra = 'AND entity_details.typeRef = ?' ;

	$targetType = $_POST['type'] ;

}



$sortMode = $_POST['sortmode'] ;



$targetUser = $_POST['targetid'] ;



include('pdoconnect.php') ;



$result = $dbh->prepare("SELECT entity_details.name, entity_contacts.name AS cName, entity_contacts.id, entity_details.countryRef

						 FROM entity_details, entity_contacts

						 WHERE entity_contacts.isPrimary = 1

						 AND entity_contacts.entityRef = entity_details.id

						 $extra

						 AND entity_details.ownerRef = ?") ;

if($extra) {

	$result->bindParam(1, $targetType, PDO::PARAM_INT) ;

	$result->bindParam(2, $targetUser, PDO::PARAM_INT) ;

}

else 

	$result->bindParam(1, $targetUser, PDO::PARAM_INT) ;



	$result->execute() ;



$count = $result->rowCount() ;



if($count > 0) {

	echo "Showing " ;

	if($targetType == 2)

			echo "prospects!" ;

		elseif($targetType == 3)

			echo "customers!" ;

I know maybe it can be done using many subqueries(?) but I am pretty average at MySQL.

 

Can anyone tell me how?

[imperium2335]

Sorry, I meant to post this in PHP coding help, would a Mod be so kind as to move it for me? Thanks.

[imperium2335]

Anyone have any ideas?

The fact that the OP has posted 3 times with no responses in the past 25 hours makes me move on to the next thread...........

Despite your highly intellectual efforts to help, I have solved it.

 

Here it is for reference:
