formatting mysql data for ouptut into a table
- by bsandrabr
Following on from a question earlier today this answer was given to read the data into an array and separate it to print vehicle type and then some data for each vehicle.
<?php
$sql = "SELECT * FROM apparatus ORDER BY vehicleType";
$getSQL = mysql_query($sql);
// transform the result set:
$data = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($getSQL)) {
$data[$row['vehicleType']][] = $row;
}
?>
<?php foreach ($data as $type => $rows): ?>
<h2><?php echo $type?></h2>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($rows as $vehicleData):?>
<li><?php echo $vehicleData['name'];?></li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
<?php endforeach ?>
This is almost perfect for what I want to do but I need to print out two columns from the database ie ford and mondeo before going into the second foreach loop. I've tried print $rows['model'] and all the other combinations I can think of but that doesn't work. Any help much appreciated
