Two mysql query searches on same page? - php

Question

So I have two MySql searches on my jQuery mobile page but they do not work together.
Here is the code:
my index.php code:
<?php
require "functions.php";
$posts = getAllPosts();
$posts = getSearchPosts();
?>
<?php
for( $p = 0; $p < count( $posts ); $p++ )
{
?>
<div class="ui-corner-all custom-corners">
<div id="searchpost">
<?php echo $posts[$p]["search_role"];?> <!-- using getSearchPosts -->
<?php echo $posts[$p]["search_genre"];?>
<?php echo $posts[$p]["user_first_name"];?> <!-- using getAllPosts -->
<?php echo $posts[$p]["user_last_name"];}?>
</div>
</div>
Functions.php:
function getSearchPosts()
{
require "config.php";
$posts = $c->query ( "SELECT * FROM posts" );
if ( $posts->num_rows > 0 )
{
while( $row = $posts2->fetch_assoc() )
{
$postData[] = array( "user_id" => $row[ "user_id" ], "search_role" => $row[ "search_role" ], "search_genre" => $row[ "search_genre" ] );
}
} else {
return "No Data";
}
return $postData;
}
function getAllPosts()
{
require "config.php";
$posts = $c->query ( "SELECT * FROM users" );
if ( $posts->num_rows > 0 )
{
while( $row = $posts->fetch_assoc() )
{
$postData[] = array( "user_id" => $row[ "user_id" ], "user_first_name" => $row[ "user_first_name" ], "user_last_name" => $row[ "user_last_name" ] );
}
} else {
return "No Data";
}
return $postData;
}
I assume I am to change the $posts on one function to something else such as $posts -> $search or something but it does not echo anything after changing. What can I do to have both searches done at the same time?

Answer 1

Do them as two separate loops. It makes no sense to show them both in the same DIVs, since there's no correspondence between the results of the two queries.
$posts = getSearchPosts();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
?>
<div class="ui-corner-all custom-corners">
<div id="searchpost">
<?php
echo $post['search_role'];
echo $post['search_genre'];
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
$users = getAllPosts();
foreach ($users as $user) {
?>
<div class="ui-corner-all custom-corners">
<div id="searchpost">
<?php
echo $user['user_first_name'];
echo $post['user_last_name'];
?>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}
