multiple loops under several headings

Recommended Posts

I am trying to display entries from a database.  I would like to categorize the entries into specific headings when they print to the page.

 

For instance:

ID 1

Question:  What is your favorite color

Answer: Blue

Category: Favorites

 

ID 2

Question:  What is two plus two?

Answer:  Four

Category:  Math

 

 

I would like to display all "Favorites" under the heading "Favorites", and all "Math" under heading "Math".  There will be multiple entries for each.  I figure I need to do a loop for each category?  How do I do this without having to connect to the database multiple times?

 

<?php
$username="username";
$password="pass";
$database="database";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM ft_form_17 WHERE Include='Include'";
$result=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($result);

mysql_close();

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$f1=mysql_result($result,$i,"question"); //Question
$f2=mysql_result($result,$i,"answer"); //Answer
$f3=mysql_result($result,$i,"submission_id"); //submission
$f4=mysql_result($result,$i,"category"); //category

?>

<strong><a name="<?php echo $f3; ?>"><?php echo $f1; ?></a></strong>
<?php echo $f2; ?>


<?php
$i++;
}
?>
