I'm trying to write a leaderboard where I can show the player's position and all the scores around him (maybe 10 above him and 10 below). Maybe this user's score is at #95,000 so my first question is: how do I know his position, and how can i grab the scores above and below him based on that information?
$sql = "SELECT id, firstname, lastname, facebookid, score FROM users ORDER BY score";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
That sorts the scores, but what if I want to find where the facebook id "0002941" is ranked?
I'm using this script to go through and view all of them, but it takes too long to scan to find this user. I'm hoping it's possible to jump to them instantly:
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - Name: " . $row["firstname"]. " " . $row["lastname"] . " " . $row["score"] . " end";
echo '<br>';
}
}

Hoping someone can shed light on this. I am trying to pull the value from 2 fields from a row and based on the row being expired, exclude those 2 values from a drop down list.
I have a table (schedule)
gameID
homeID
visitorID
gameTimeEastern
weekNum
each week there are matchups where 2 teams play each other. Those 2 teams are in a row based on gameID with a specific start time (gameTimeEastern).
I have a function that determines when the matchup is locked, meaning the game has started:
function gameIsLocked($gameID) {
//find out if a game is locked
global $mysqli, $cutoffDateTime;
$sql = "select (DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL " . SERVER_TIMEZONE_OFFSET . " HOUR) > gameTimeEastern or DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL " . SERVER_TIMEZONE_OFFSET . " HOUR) > '" . $cutoffDateTime . "') as expired from " . DB_PREFIX . "schedule where gameID = " . $gameID;
$query = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
$row = $query->fetch_assoc();
return $row['expired'];
}
$query->free;
die('Error getting game locked status: ' . $mysqli->error);
This basically determines if the row is expired (gameTimeEastern has passed). I then have a drop down on a form that has a list of all the teams from each matchup for that week.If the row is expired, then I do not want to include the homeID or visitorID from that row in the drop down.
On my page I am trying to show those teams from the expired row but it is failing as the page stops processing when it hit this:
//get expired teams
$expiredGames =gameIsLocked(gameID);
// echo 'Expired games are GAME ' . $expiredGames . '<br>';
for ($eti=1; $eti<=$gameID; $eti++)
{
if ($gameID[$eti]>''){
$sql = "select * from " . DB_PREFIX . "schedule WHERE gameID = '" . $gameID[$eti] . "';";
$query = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
$result = $query->fetch_assoc();
$expiredHomeTeam = $result['homeID'];
$expiredVisitorTeam = $result['visitorID'];
}
}
echo 'Expired teams for GAME '.$gameID.' are '.$expiredHomeTeam.' and '.$expiredVisitorTeam.'<br>';
}
NEW CODE - Actually giving me the first result
//get expired teams
$expiredGames =gameIsLocked(gameID);
$sql = "select * from " . DB_PREFIX . "schedule WHERE weekNum = '6';";
$query = $mysqli->query($sql);
if ($query->num_rows > 0) {
$result = $query->fetch_assoc();
$expiredHomeTeam = $result['homeID'];
$expiredVisitorTeam = $result['visitorID'];
}
echo 'Expired teams for GAME ' . $expiredGames . ' are '.$expiredHomeTeam.' and '.$expiredVisitorTeam.'<br>';
Ended up using the SQL query to schedule to get results I needed. Thanks for the direction. The logic was already there, just needed to add an if statement to how I populated the array for teams in the drop down.
So I have this table 'users_photos'. It contains 38k rows with user pictures. Every row contains id, userid and link to the photo. So if a user have 3 pictures, that user id will show in 3 rows in the database.
What I want to do is count the number of users with 1 picture in the database, 2 pictures in the database etc.
UPDATE: I have now the following code
$sql = $mysqli->query("SELECT count(*), count_users from (SELECT u_id, count(*) as count_users FROM users_photos group by u_id) temp group by count_users");
$sql->data_seek(0);
while ($row = $sql->fetch_assoc()) {
echo "".$fetch." = " . $row['count_users'] . "\n<br>";
}
This prints the users that have 1 picture and up to 8. Not how many but only shows that in the database there is users that have 1 picture, 2 pictures etc. Now I need to figure out how to print the total users that have 1 picture etc.
Anyone have any tips? thanks on behalf!
Update Your Query With This
$sql = $mysqli->query("SELECT count(*),u_id as 'count_users' FROM users_photos group by u_id");
Sql Query:
$sql = $mysqli->query("SELECT count(*),u_id as 'count_users' FROM users_photos group by u_id");
You Can Print like this
// After Check connection
if (!$conn) {
die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
}
$sql = "SELECT count(*),u_id as 'count_users' FROM users_photos group by u_id";
$result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);
if (mysqli_num_rows($result) > 0) {
// output data of each row
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "id: " . $row["id"]. " - count_users" . $row["count_users"]. "<br>";
}
} else {
echo "0 results";
}
You can do something like this:
$con = mysqli_connect("localhost","my_user","my_password","my_db");
$sql = 'SELECT u_id, count(*) AS count_users FROM users_photos GROUP BY u_id';
$result = mysqli_query($con, $sql);
while ($row=mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo 'User id: ' . $row['u_id'] . ' Count: ' . $row['count_users'] . '<br>';
}
Keep in mind this is just a basic example. In a real world application there is more to do such as checking for errors.
i'm trying to find a solution to make my php script show only the last 3 entries in a row but all i can find is how to show the first entries not the last 3. any ideas?
this is the script that shows the entries:
<?php
// Grab the data from our people table
$sql = "select * from people";
$result = mysql_query($sql) or die ("Could not access DB: " . mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
echo "<div class=\"picture\">";
echo "<p>";
// Note that we are building our src string using the filename from the database
echo "<img src=\"content/uploads/" . $row['filename'] . "\" alt=\"\" /><br />";
echo $row['fname'] . " " . "<br />" . "<br />" . $row['lname'] . "<br />";
echo "</p>";
echo "</div>";
}
?>
try this
$sql = "SELECT * FROM people ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3";
id=>is your column name you you might have to change this
and dont use mysql function as they are depricated and soon going to be dropped. Learn mysqli or PDO
Just do reverse ORDER BY, ie. if your table is ordered by column id, then do ORDER BY id DESC and then use LIMIT 3:
$sql = "select * from people ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3";
And PS, mysql_* are deprecated...
I'm attempting to select a query to use based on the number of rows returned by a test result.
$id = mysql_real_escape_string(htmlspecialchars($_POST['id']));
$result = "SELECT FROM Notifications WHERE UserID=$id";
$r = e_mysql_query($result);
$row = mysql_fetch_array($r);
$num_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
$result = '';
if ($num_results != 0) {
$result =
"SELECT U.UserID,U.FirstName,U.LastName, " .
" DATE_FORMAT(U.BirthDate,'%m-%d-%Y') AS BirthDate, " .
" N.Email, N.Phone,N.ProviderName, N.SubNotifications " .
" FROM Users U, Notifications N " .
" WHERE U.LocationID=0 " .
" AND N.UserID='$id'";
} else {
$result =
"SELECT UserID, FirstName, LastName," .
" DATE_FORMAT(BirthDate, '%m-%d-%Y') AS BirthDate " .
" FROM Users " .
" WHERE LocationID = 0 " .
" AND UserID ='$id'";
}
echo $result;
e_mysql_result($result); //Bastardized/homegrown PDO
if ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
$retValue['userInfo'] = $row;
...
I'm checking the Notifications table to see if the UserID exists there, if it doesn't it loads what does exist from the Users table, if it does, then it loads everything from the Notifications table.
I'm echoing out the $result and the proper statement is loaded, but it doesn't execute. When I run the concatenated query I get from the PHP preview, it returns just fine.
Before I had to if/else this, I was running the first query, loading everything from the Notifications table, and it was loading just fine. What am I missing?
You can do the whole thing with one query with a LEFT JOIN.
$query= "SELECT U.UserID, U.FirstName,U.LastName, " .
" DATE_FORMAT(U.BirthDate,'%m-%d-%Y') AS BirthDate, " .
" N.Email, N.Phone,N.ProviderName, N.SubNotifications " .
" FROM Users U " .
" LEFT JOIN Notifications N " .
" ON U.UserID = N.UserID " .
" WHERE U.UserID = '$id'";
You are missing execute a query with mysql_query() on all $result
Also change (query variable should be quoted) so change your all variables $id quoted
$result = "SELECT FROM Notifications WHERE UserID=$id";
to
$result = "SELECT FROM Notifications WHERE UserID='$id'";
$r = mysql_query($result);
Note :- mysql_* has been deprecated use mysqli_* or PDO
I read somewhere (sorry I forgot where), that there is a way to associate an index number to rows fetched from an MySQL query result using a native PHP function (the person was not sure about the syntax so he didn't wrote it). For example:
The usual way:
$count = 1;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
echo "<li> ". $count ."id: " . $row['id'] . " lon: " . $row['lon']. ", lat: ". $row['lat'].", ". $row['road']. " </li>";
$count++;
}
I know that thinking of this other way is not that important, but I'm just curious if there really is a function for that purpose.
you can add rownum to your results array, if you edit your sql like
SELECT #rownum:=#rownum+1 as rownum, p.* FROM MYTABLE p , (SELECT #rownum:=0) r
so the loop like
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)){
echo "<li> ". $row['rownum'] ."id: " . $row['id'] . " lon: " . $row['lon']. ",
lat: ". $row['lat'].", ". $row['road']. " </li>";
}
