I need help combining data from MySQL with PHP and showing it in the same tables.
Now I'm getting this:
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 28 | Salad | 4 | 10.99|
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 28 | Pizza | 1 | 15 |
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 26 | Fish | 3 | 12 |
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 22 | Pizza | 1 | 15 |
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 22 | Salad | 1 | 10.99|
--------------------------------------
And I want to show it like this:
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 28 | Salad | 4 | 10.99|
| 28 | Pizza | 1 | 15 |
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 26 | Fish | 3 | 12 |
--------------------------------------
--------------------------------------
|Order ID | Product | Quantity| Cost |
--------------------------------------
| 22 | Pizza | 1 | 15 |
| 22 | Salad | 1 | 10.99|
--------------------------------------
My PHP code:
$username2= $_SESSION['Username'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM order_detail, products WHERE order_detail.user = '$username2' AND order_detail.productid = products.serial ORDER BY orderid DESC");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<table class='curvedEdges'>
<tr>
<th>Order ID</th>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Cost</th>
</tr>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['orderid'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['quantity'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['price'] . " LT</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
}
What is the easiest way to do this in PHP? Maybe someone can show me the code? :) Thanks!

I think you need to go for two loop to achieve this -
$username2= $_SESSION['Username'];
$result2 = mysql_query("SELECT distinct orderid FROM order_detail, products WHERE order_detail.user = '$username2' AND order_detail.productid = products.serial ORDER BY orderid DESC");
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2))
{
$row2orderid = $row2['orderid'];
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM order_detail, products WHERE order_detail.user = '$username2' AND order_detail.productid = products.serial and orderid = '$row2orderid' ORDER BY orderid DESC");
echo "<table class='curvedEdges'>
<tr>
<th>Order ID</th>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Cost</th>
</tr>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['orderid'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['quantity'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['price'] . " LT</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
}

Something like this should work:
$orderID = null;
$tableShown = false;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
if ($orderID != $row['orderid']) {
if ($tableShown)
echo "</table>";
echo "<table class='curvedEdges'>
<tr>
<th>Order ID</th>
<th>Product</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>Cost</th>
</tr>";
$tableShown = true;
}
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>" . $row['orderid'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['name'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['quantity'] . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row['price'] . " LT</td>";
echo "</tr>";
$orderID = $row['orderid'];
}
if ($tableShown)
echo "</table>";
This should cause the HTML table
to get recreated with headers for each change in the Order ID.
