display table group by category using php - php

Question

my database design is like this
-- Table Reason
--------------------------
| reasonid | reasonname |
--------------------------
| 1 | reason1 |
| 2 | reason2 |
--------------------------
-- Table Student
----------------------------
| studentid | studentname |
----------------------------
| 1 | John |
| 2 | Jane |
| 3 | Hulk |
----------------------------
-- Table form
-----------------------------------
| formid | studentid | reasonid |
-----------------------------------
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 | 1 |
-----------------------------------
I want to show data table like :
reason1
| 1 | John |
| 2 | Hulk |
reason2
| 1 | Jane |
I have tried below code but the result is not groupBy reason
<?php $i =1;
while($rowfet = mysql_fetch_array($myselect)){ ?>
<h2><?php echo $rowfet['ReasonName']; ?></h2>
<table>
<thead>
<tr class="active">
<th>No.</th>
<th>StudentName</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center"><?php echo $i; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rowfet['STUDENTNAME']; ?></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<?php $i++; } ?>
the result of this code is :
reason1
| 1 | John |
reason1
| 2 | Hulk |
reason2
| 3 | Jane |

Answer 1

You could do something like this:
outside while loop:
$lastReasonId = '';
inside while loop:
if($rowfet['reasonid'] != $lastReasonId){
// show heading
}
$lastReasonId = $rowfet['reasonid'];
But your code is far from ok. The $i++ thing is not doing anything, you should probably echo $rowfet['studentid'] there.
And you are using deprecated mysql code.
