MYSQL and PHP array


analyst

Recommended Posts

Hello to everybody, I'm new.
I've this problem.
I Have a MySQL DB with a table with financial data.
The table has five columns: DATE, OPEN, HIGH, LOW, CLOSE and thousand of rows.
To plot the data on a chart I need to get only last 50 rows of the table and put each column data in a single array.
Could you help me with a PHP code ?
Thanks in advance

Well, you can use a "LIMIT 50" clause to get only 50 rows, but you'll need to have an ORDER BY clause, probably by date descending, to get the most "recent" 50. As far as the array goes, simply create 5 empty arrays, and push onto each one as you iterate through the result set.

[code]<?php
// open a mysql database connection
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM myTable ORDER BY DATE DESC LIMIT 50", $dblink);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
   $date[] = $row['date'];
   $open[] = $row['open'];
   $high[] = $row['high'];
   $low[] = $row['low'];
   $close[] = $row['close'];
}
mysql_free_result($result);
?>[/code]
