I have about 100 records, but my loop is looping so many times, returning

1000+ repeated records. I need something like this. Help me out please with new code. Thanks.

 

 

Canada

. companyone

. companytwo

. companythree

 

USA

. xyz company

. zy company

. xz comapy

 

so on...

First problem is you shouldn't do a select inside a loop. Simple select the customers order by country name, then loop through them. Store the name of the country and when you get to a different one, print it out, otherwise don't print it.

<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM customers ORDER BY country";
$last_country = NULL;
while(){ //loop here
if($country != $last_country){
   $last_country = $country;
  echo $country;
}
echo $customer_info_here;
}

No, you already know how to loop through results, unless you're just copying and pasting code without understanding it, in which case me giving you more to c&p won't teach you anything.

It is not copy and paste, I am so good with ASP, I copied ASP code, modified into PHP, to do the same process, and besides learning PHP, since got stuck I came here for help. If can please do help. This is not commercial. I am usinging northwind.mdb sample database for learning.

 

Thank you,

Try to modify your code after this line:

 

$result1 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customers where country = " . $row['Country'] . " order by CompanyName");

 

if ($result1){

 

    // print here the table of customers

 

}
