Wordpress - Get All Rows In HTML Table - php

Question

I have a custom wordpress table and am trying to get all rows in the db separated by year. My code now:
echo "<table width='100%'>";
for ($year = date("Y"); $year >= 2017; --$year) {
echo ("<tr><th>$year</th></tr>");
echo ("<tr><th>Champions</th>");
echo ("<th>Score</th>");
echo ("<th>Date</th></tr>");
global $wpdb;
$clubmatch = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_club ORDER BY gamedate DESC");
foreach($clubmatch as $row){
echo "<tr><td>" . $row->names . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row->score . "</td>";
echo "<td>" . $row->gamedate . "</td></tr>";
}
echo ("<tr><td style='padding: 20px;'></td></tr>");
}
echo '</table>';
This gives me the following on screen:
2018
Champions Score Date
Sam Jones - Peggy Jones 81.43 2018-03-01
Joseph Parks - Carmen Parks 70.85 2017-12-17
2017
Champions Score Date
Sam Jones - Peggy Jones 81.43 2018-03-01
Joseph Parks - Carmen Parks 70.85 2017-12-17
How do I get it to show like this? Each row under the proper year?
2018
Champions Score Date
Sam Jones - Peggy Jones 81.43 2018-03-01
2017
Champions Score Date
Joseph Parks - Carmen Parks 70.85 2017-12-17
Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Change the SQL query, so that it filters the result by the year of the field gamedate. So use this: (the code is indented for clarity)
$clubmatch = $wpdb->get_results(
"SELECT * FROM wp_club " .
"WHERE YEAR(gamedate) = '$year' " .
"ORDER BY gamedate DESC"
);
..instead of:
$clubmatch = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM wp_club ORDER BY gamedate DESC");
