This is my source code:
$query = "SELECT * FROM blogs ORDER BY date DESC";
$resultSet = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_num_rows($resultSet)){
$newsArray = array();
echo '<ul>' . PHP_EOL;
while ($newsResult = mysql_fetch_array($resultSet)){
$newDate = $newsResult['date'] ;
$timePeriod = date('F Y ',strtotime($newDate));
$timePeriodY = date('Y',strtotime($timePeriod));
$timePeriodM = date('F',strtotime($timePeriod));
/*if (!isset($newsArray[$timePeriod])){
$newsArray[$timePeriod] = array();
}*/
$newsArray[$timePeriod][] = $newsResult;
}
//by year
foreach ($newsArray as $timePeriod => $newsItems){
$timePeriodY = date('Y',strtotime($timePeriod));
echo '<li><strong>' . $timePeriodY . '</strong>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '<ul>' . PHP_EOL;
//by month

Please help me with this and thanks in Advance.

Answer 1

You're "grouping" by "F Y" when you should be "grouping" by "Y" and then "F Y"
For example :
$newsArray[$timePeriod][] = $newsResult;
Should be something like
$newsArray[$timePeriodY][timePeriod][]= $newsResult;
Your code will then become:
$query = "SELECT * FROM blogs ORDER BY date DESC";
$resultSet = mysql_query($query);
if (mysql_num_rows($resultSet)){
$newsArray = array();
echo '<ul>' . PHP_EOL;
while ($newsResult = mysql_fetch_array($resultSet)){
$newDate = $newsResult['date'] ;
$timePeriod = date('F Y ',strtotime($newDate));
$timePeriodY = date('Y',strtotime($timePeriod));
$timePeriodM = date('F',strtotime($timePeriod));
$newsArray[$timePeriodY][$timePeriod][] = $newsResult;
}
//by year
foreach ($newsArray as $timePeriodY => $newsItems){
echo '<li><strong>' . $timePeriodY . '</strong>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '<ul>' . PHP_EOL;
//by month
foreach ($newsItems as $timePeriod => $items){
echo '<li><strong>' . $timePeriod . '</strong>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '<ul>' . PHP_EOL;
//news items
foreach ($items as $item){
echo '<li>';
echo ''.$item["titlename"].'';
echo '</li>' . PHP_EOL;
}
//end by month
echo '</ul>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '</li>' . PHP_EOL;
}
//end by year
echo '</ul>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '</li>' . PHP_EOL;
}
echo '<li> </li>' . PHP_EOL;
echo '</ul>' . PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo 'No Blog Found';
}
