btd1924 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I have got a nested repeat region working until the last record in the parent repeat. It stops the child repeat from showing the rows. Could someone have a look and see what I have missed? Code: <?php $query = "SELECT * FROM sections ORDER BY sectionOrder ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query); $total_records = mysql_num_rows($result); // the number of records in your result set $num_cols = 1; // the number of columns $num_rows = ceil($total_records / $num_cols); // the number of rows $num = 0; // don't change this value, this is the first number of each record inside a record set echo "<table>\n"; // next the loop for the table rows for ($rows = 0; $rows < $num_rows; $rows++) { echo "<tr>\n"; // this is the loop for the table columns for ($cols = 0; $cols < $num_cols; $cols++) { if ($num < $total_records) { // show records if available (reduce by one because the first record is no. "0" (zero) // first create variables with the values of the current record $titel = mysql_result($result, $num, "sectionName"); // you have to chenge the names here to fit your own sql statement $catID = mysql_result($result, $num, "sectionID"); echo "<td><b>".$titel."</b><td>\n"; } else { // show an empty cell echo "<td> </td>\n"; } $num++; // raise the number by one for the next record } echo "</tr>\n"; // there are no more cols in this row, close the table row tag // Grab products from table Where pSection = sectionID $pquery = "SELECT * FROM products WHERE pSection='$catID'"; $presult = mysql_query($pquery); $ptotal_records = mysql_num_rows($presult); // the number of records in your result set $pnum_cols = 2; // the number of columns $pnum_rows = ceil($ptotal_records / $pnum_cols); // the number of rows $pnum = 0; // don't change this value, this is the first number of each record inside a record set for ($prows = 0; $prows < $pnum_rows; $prows++) { echo "<tr>\n"; // this is the loop for the table columns for ($pcols = 0; $pcols < $pnum_cols; $pcols++) { if ($num < $total_records) { // show records if available (reduce by one because the first record is no. "0" (zero) // first create variables with the values of the current record $ptitel = mysql_result($presult, $pnum, "pName"); // you have to chenge the names here to fit your own sql statement $pdescription = mysql_result($presult, $pnum, "descr"); $purl = mysql_result($presult, $pnum, "link"); echo "<td><b>".$ptitel."</b><br>".$pdescription."<i><a href=\"".$purl."\">Visit here!</a></i><td>\n"; } else { // show an empty cell echo "<td> </td>\n"; } $pnum++; // raise the number by one for the next record } echo "</tr>\n"; // there are no more cols in this row, close the table row tag } } echo "</table>\n"; // end of the region = closing tag for the table element ?> Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98177-nested-repeat-region-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 It'll be better if you looked into converting your for loops and mysql_result functions calls into a nice simple while loop: while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql_query_result)) { echo '<pre>' . print_r($row, true) .' </pre>'; } That will require far less coding. You should also look into using SQL Joins. Rather than calling multiple queries you'd just have one query and a single while loop, which will make for some nice clean code.

btd1924 Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 I love the idea of less code, could you elaborate on how this can be done. Thanks Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/98177-nested-repeat-region-question/#findComment-502321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildteen88 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 The very basic code, What does this output: $query = "SELECT * FROM sections s, products p WHERE p.pSection=s.sectionID ORDER BY sectionOrder ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo '<pre>' . print_r($row, true) .' </pre>'; } The major step here is using an SQL join to query two tables at once.

wildteen88 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Try the following: $query = "SELECT * FROM sections s, products p WHERE p.pSection=s.sectionID ORDER BY sectionOrder ASC"; $result = mysql_query($query); $prev_section = null; $sectionHeading = false; echo '<table border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="2">'; while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { if($prev_section != $row['sectionName']) { $prev_section = $row['sectionName']; $sectionHeading = false; } if(!$sectionHeading) { echo '<tr><td><h1>' . $row['sectionName'] .
