wooowooo Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Hi Does anyone know if its possible to use php to display a table from mysql database with links so its user can change weather its sorted assendingly or desendingly using different column headings? IE, Column headings are A,B,C I want to know if I could have it so the user sorts the table assending of descending as they please using any of the three headings to sort and if you can how is it done? Many thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82614-output-with-assending-and-desending/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
teng84 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 you have to use get variables eg.. sample u have url like this page.php?sort=asc&field = name if (isset($_GET['sort']) && isset($_GET['name']) ){ $select ='select * from yourtable order by'.$_GET['name']. $_GET['sort']; } note you still need to filter input...

DyslexicDog Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Yeah I follow that but I dont see how it ties in with the table and assending of dessending In the example php is not sorting the information mysql is. The example changes the query sent to the database, returning the information in the desired order.

PHP_PhREEEk Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I wrote a script for a user here that sorts by any column. The post is here: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,166794.msg735733.html#msg735733 There are two scripts. The sorting portion is located in customers.php Everything you need to sort the table is easily laid out. It's a very small script.

revraz Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 They way I create my pages is that I code the Field Names as links and when you click on it once it sorts ASC, then if you click on it a 2nd time, it sorts DESC Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82614-output-with-assending-and-desending/#findComment-420206 Share on other sites More sharing options...
