I am struggling with a concept that has been addressed in part here, but I am trying to extend it and am stumped. My query pulls data from three tables (I am using a stored procedure):
Select a.adID, a.typeID, l.description, l.available, l.cost, a.heading,
a.adDate, a.adActive, a.plannerID, t.typename
From advertisements as a, advert_types as t, locations as l
Where a.plannerID = 1 And a.typeID = t.typeID And l.locationID =
a.locationID
Order by a.adDate, a.typeID;
The output appears to be ok using a query editor within MySQL workbench, but I am trying to write the results out using the Month (a.adDate) as the first heading, then the field t.typename as the second heading, so it should look something like this:
January
___________________________________________________
Bistro Heading Date
------------------------------
E-newsletter $100 ...
Digital Ad $50 ...
Magazine Ad $150 ...
February
___________________________________________________
Kitchen Heading Date
-------------------------------
Social Media $200 ...
E-flyer Ad $180 ...
March
___________________________________________________
Restaurant Heading Date
-------------------------------
Front cover $500 ...
Back cover $350 ...
Under each month there is a subheading (Bistro, Kitchen, Restaurant etc.) then there should be the items listed below each corresponding subheading, and also under the correct month.
My PHP code is:
$query = "Call listads_per_planner('$planner');";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $query) or die("Query failed: " .
mysqli_error($conn));
$num_rows = mysqli_num_rows($result);
$priorDate = null;
$priorType = null;
$counter = 0;
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$theDate = $row['adDate'];
$thestrDate = strtotime($theDate);
$theadYear = date('Y', $thestrDate);
$theadMonth = date('F', $thestrDate);
$adMonthInt = date('m', $thestrDate);
$typeName = $row['typename'];
$heading = $row['heading'];
$thetypeID = $row['typeID'];
if ($priorDate != $adMonthInt) {
if ($priorDate != null) {
echo "";
}
if ($counter > 0){
echo "<br /><br />\n";
}
echo "<h3>". $theadMonth ."</h3>\n";
echo "<hr style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0\"/>\n";
($priorDate = $adMonthInt);
}
if ($thetypeID != $priorType){
echo "<table border=\"0\" style=\"width: 100%; cellpadding: 2px;
cellspacing: 1px\" >\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td style=\"background-color: #cccccc; heigh: 26px; width: 30%\">\n";
echo "<span style=\"margin-left: 3px\"><strong>". $typeName ."</strong>
</span></td>\n";
echo "<td style=\"background-color: #cccccc;\"><input type=\"text\"
name=\"heading\" size=\"22\" maxlength=\"100\" value=\"". $heading ."\">

echo "<td style=\"background-color: #cccccc;\"><span style=\"margin-left:

</td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td><strong>Location</strong> <a href=\"#\">> Add Location +</a></td>
<td><strong>Available</strong></td><td><strong>Cost</strong></td><td>
<strong>Default Cost</strong></td><td><strong>Delete?</strong></td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
$priorType = $thetypeID;
}
echo "<tr>\n";
echo "<td style=\"height: 26px\">". $row['description'] ."</td>\n";
echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"avail\" size=\"2\" value=\"".
$row['available'] ."\"></td>\n";
echo "<td><input type=\"text\" name=\"cost\" size=\"7\" maxlength=\"8\"
value=\"". $row['cost'] ."\"></td>\n";
echo "<td>". $row['cost'] ."</td>\n";
echo "<td><div align=\"left\" style=\"padding-left: 4px\"><a href=\"#\"
title=\"Delete this location?\"><img src=\"img/delete.png\" border=\"0\">
</a></div></td>\n";
echo "</tr>\n";
$counter++;
}
echo "</table>\n";
I am seeing unexpected results in the browser output, with the subheadings not populating properly, and the list results being displayed under the wrong month. If anyone could shed some insights, I would be greatly appreciative. I can make it work with just the single heading, but can't seem to get it right with the subheading. Many thanks.
Update: Here is some sample data from the DB:
Here is a screenshot of the output I am getting: January should have two Locations listed, and November should have only one.
