the problem is, i don't get the correct query to distinct of the said column. i need sample mysql code base on image above. please

 

this code is badly not work.. 

("SELECT DISTINCT region FROM branch ('SELECT semployees.empid,employees.username,employees.fname,branch.branch_id,branch.brach_name,branch.regions,code_tss.tss_id,code_tss.empid,code_tss.tss_trans_num,code_tss.branch_id,code_tss.tss_date
FROM code_tss INNER JOIN branch ON code_tss.branch_id = branch.branch_id 
INNER JOIN employees ON code_tss.empid = employees.empid ORDER BY `tss_id` DESC LIMIT $vpb_start_page, $vpb_page_limit')")

Keep the query simple, store data in an array by region then output from the array.

 

Example code (sorry I couldn't rotate the table though)

<?php
$db = new mysqli(HOST,USERNAME,PASSWORD,'test'); // use your credentials
error_reporting(-1);

//
// CREATE TEST DATA
//
$db->query("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS jayson");
$sql = "CREATE TABLE jayson (
    id INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
    f1 VARCHAR(20),
    f2 VARCHAR(20),
    f3 VARCHAR(20),
    f4 VARCHAR(20)
    )";
$db->query($sql);
$sql = "INSERT INTO jayson (f1,f2,f3,f4) VALUES 
    ('Region 1', 'Place 1', 'adadassd', 'cxxvxv'),
    ('Region 1', 'Place 2', 'kjlkl', 'hsdhsdfjsh'),
    ('Region 1', 'Place 3', 'lkjlklkklk', 'uooio'),
    ('Region 2', 'Place 4', 'qeqewq', 'vbnvbnvnvbv'),
    ('Region 2', 'Place 5', 'aaaaaaaa', 'fvrvrfv'),
    ('Region 2', 'Place 6', 'gdgdgdfgdf', 'hntntnhntn'),
    ('Region 2', 'Place 7', 'efefefe', 'jmjmmymym')
    ";
$db->query($sql);

//
// QUERY THE TABLE AND STORE IN ARRAY BY REGION (f1)
//
$data = array();
$sql = "SELECT f1,f2,f3,f4
        FROM jayson
        ORDER BY f1,f2";
$res = $db->query($sql);
while ($row = $res->fetch_assoc()) {
    $data[$row['f1']][] = array_slice($row,1);
}

Hi barand..

 

really wow and it work great and i know im very close by. and if you observe my posted above, i have 3 tables to join  and now i have no idea if i need to create another query to get the result from 3 table and to pass it by to your $query you create?

 

and i need the result from..

('SELECT code_tss.tss_id,
	 code_tss.branch_id,
	 code_tss.tss_date,
	 code_tss.tss_trans_num,
		branch.branch_id,
		branch.brach_name,
		branch.regions,
			employees.empid,
			employees.fname FROM code_tss 
	INNER JOIN branch ON code_tss.branch_id = branch.branch_id 
	    INNER JOIN employees ON code_tss.empid = employees.empid WHERE tss_date = "April 5, 2014" ORDER BY regions,brach_name')

result

 

+++++++  regions  ++++++  brach_name  +++++++   tss_trans_num   +++++++   fname   ++++++++
