PHP Issue with Order by Date in Array - php

Question

I have a little script on which I am working where I can generate income and expense reports in a nice table, however, I am currently facing some issues with the sort order. Here is my current code:
<div class="panel-body">
<div class="col-md-12">
<?php
$fdate=$_POST['fromdate'];
$tdate=$_POST['todate'];
$rtype=$_POST['requesttype'];
?>
<?php
$source1 = $_POST['fromdate'];
$date1 = new DateTime($source1);
$source2 = $_POST['todate'];
$date2 = new DateTime($source2);
?>
<h5 align="center" style="color:#30a5ff">Expense Report from <?php echo $date1->format('d/m/Y')?> to <?php echo $date2->format('d/m/Y')?></h5>
<hr />
<!-- table start--->
<table class="table table-bordered mg-b-0">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Date</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Category</th>
<th style="text-align:right;">Cash In</th>
<th style="text-align:right;">Cash Out</th>
<th style="text-align:right;background: yellow;">Balance THB</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<?php
$total_e = 0;
$userid=$_SESSION['detsuid'];
$ret=mysqli_query($con,"select * from tblexpense where (ExpenseDate BETWEEN '$fdate' and '$tdate') && (ExpenseType='Expense') && UserId='$userid' ORDER BY ExpenseDate ASC");
$cnt=1;
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($ret)) {
$total_e = $total_e+$row['ExpenseCost']
?>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime($row["ExpenseDate"]));?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['ExpenseItem'];?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['ExpenseCat'];?></td>
<td></td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2);?> THB</td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2);?> THB</td>
</tr>
<?php
$cnt=$cnt+1;
}?>
<?php
$total_i =0;
$userid=$_SESSION['detsuid'];
$ret=mysqli_query($con,"select * from tblexpense where (ExpenseDate BETWEEN '$fdate' and '$tdate') && (ExpenseType='Income') && UserId='$userid' ORDER BY ExpenseDate ASC");
$cnt=1;
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($ret)) {
$total_i = $total_i+$row['ExpenseCost'];
?>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><?php echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime($row["ExpenseDate"]));?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['ExpenseItem'];?></td>
<td></td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2);?> THB</td>
<td></td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2);?> THB</td>
</tr>
<?php
$cnt=$cnt+1;
}?>
<tr>
<th colspan="2" style="text-align:left">Grand Total</th>
<th></th>
<th style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($total_i, 2);?> THB</th>
<th style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($total_e, 2);?> THB</th>
<td style="text-align:right; font-weight:bold; background: yellow;"> <?php $ret=mysqli_query($con,"SELECT ExpenseType, SUM(ExpenseCost) FROM tblexpense where (ExpenseDate BETWEEN '$fdate' and '$tdate') && (ExpenseType='Expense') && UserId='$userid' ORDER BY ExpenseDate GROUP BY ExpenseType");
$e_sum = 0;
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($ret)) {
//$e_sum = number_format($row['SUM(ExpenseCost)'], 2);
$e_sum = $row['SUM(ExpenseCost)'];
}
?>
<?php $ret=mysqli_query($con,"SELECT ExpenseType, SUM(ExpenseCost) FROM tblexpense where (ExpenseDate BETWEEN '$fdate' and '$tdate') && (ExpenseType='Income') && UserId='$userid'ORDER BY ExpenseDate GROUP BY ExpenseType");
$i_sum = 0;
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_array($ret)) {
//$i_sum = number_format($row['SUM(ExpenseCost)'], 2);
$i_sum = $row['SUM(ExpenseCost)'];
}
echo number_format($i_sum-$e_sum,2);
?> THB</td>
</th>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<!-- table end--->
</div>
</div>
Here a screenshot of the output:
Essentially the output and the values are correct, however, the 2 items I've marked in red (which are Cash out) are not sorted by date as my other values for expenses but add to the top. My ideal goal is to have them all sorted seamlessly by ExpenseDate. What's the best way to have this achieved? Some expert help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You should merge your two queries into one, and then generate the table output based on the value of ExpenseType e.g.
$ret=mysqli_query($con,"select *
from tblexpense
where (ExpenseDate BETWEEN '$fdate' and '$tdate')
and (ExpenseType='Expense' or ExpenseType='Income')
and UserId='$userid'
ORDER BY ExpenseDate ASC");
then in your loop:
<tr>
<td><?php echo date('d/m/Y', strtotime($row["ExpenseDate"]));?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['ExpenseItem'];?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['ExpenseType'] = 'Expense' ? $row['ExpenseCat'] : '';?></td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo $row['ExpenseType'] = 'Expense' ? '' : number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2); ?> THB</td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo $row['ExpenseType'] = 'Expense' ? number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2) : '';?> THB</td>
<td style="text-align:right;"><?php echo number_format($row['ExpenseCost'], 2);?> THB</td>
</tr>
