Already solved. I just used WHERE MONTH(due_date) = $month in the SQL clause. Never knew it would just be like that. Thank you for all your answer!
We have a table called bills. We do not delete a bill even if it is paid already for record purposes.
So our goal is to only display The Bills for this Month. I have a $cur_month = current month value. I know how to extract the month value from a field using MONTH(), using a loop to run though the table, but when I try to echo MONTH(date) the value through out the displayed series is just the MONTH VALUE of the very first row. It seems it failed to get the MONTH VALUE of the other rows.
Fixed code below
$query = "SELECT * FROM bill WHERE MONTH(due_date)=$month";
$bresult = mysql_query($query);
while($brow = mysql_fetch_array($bresult, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$bdata = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT MONTH(due_date) AS M FROM `bill`"));
if($bdata['M'] == $month)
{
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$brow['room_id']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$brow['tenant_id']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$brow['due_date']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
}
$month there is the holder of the current month
$bdata['M'] there is the holder of the month extracted. We just displayed it to check.
So if extracted_month is equls to current_month then display bill
I hope you can help me in this.
PS: Still an amateur. This is not yet an online website. We only need help for the purpose of having it work.
1) Use a WHERE statement in your first SQL to only fetch those rows from the table.
Like this:
$query = "SELECT *, MONTH(due_date) as M FROM bill WHERE MONTH(due_date)=" . $month;
$bresult = mysql_query($query);
while($brow = mysql_fetch_array($bresult, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>".$brow['M']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$brow['tenant_id']."</td>";
echo "<td>".$brow['due_date']."</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
2) I find it good practice to always check if the result object is created and if so, to check if it returned matches (with mysql_num_rows($result)). That way you can show an error if something goes wrong (most likely in the SQL statement) or show the user that there are no matches (bills in this case).
3) Try to use MYSQLI to connect to your database instead of MYSQL, since the latter is deprecated. (See: http://php.net/manual/en/mysqli-result.fetch-assoc.php for an example.)
Try solving this problem using SQL.
SELECT b.amount_paid
FROM bills b
WHERE MONTH(b.due_date) = 3
Using the result of this query you would have all of the amounts for this month. Sum your result and you are done.

Hi buddies :) I was required to create a php code to handle some workers' data stored in DB. I got the desired result but it takes seconds and seconds (seconds and seconds! >.<) to finish, so I'm afraid I'm not doing something in a right way :(
The workers' data is stored in a mysql table (table1), something like this:
I'm given a pair of dates: initial_date (a) and final_date (b), so my goal is to copy the given workers' data in a new table (table2), day by day from a to b. The expected table should be as shown below (this table will be used later as a basis for further operations, which is not part of the question)
It's a requirement to overwrite any existing data between a and b dates, and 'jump' weekends and holidays.
To get my goal, I'm coding this (let's assume that the connection and all that is done and the checkworkingday function is given):
$initialdate = '2016-10-10';
$finaldate = '2016-10-12';
$x = $initialdate;
do {
if (checkworkingday($x) == true) {
$query = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT name,task FROM table1");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($query)) {
$task = $row['task'];
$worker = $row['name'];
$query2 = mysqli_query($connection,"SELECT task FROM table2 WHERE name = '$worker' AND date = '$x'");
$row2 = mysqli_fetch_array($query2);
$existingtask = $row2['task'];
if (!isset($existingtask)) {
mysqli_query($connection,"INSERT INTO table2 (date,name,task) VALUES('".$x."','".$worker."','".$task."')");
} else {
mysqli_query($connection,"UPDATE table2 SET task = '".$task."' WHERE date = '".$x."' AND worker = '".$name."'");
}
}
}
$x = date('Y-m-d', strtotime($x . "+1 day"));
} while ($x <= $finaldate);
Just for 3 days as shown in the example, it takes a long to end; and for several weeks or months it takes very, very long (even max execution time is exceeded depending on dates range!).
I'm a newbie and I know the code is quite 'rustic', but I've revised and checked the code and info out there without getting a better performance. What am I doing wrong? Thanks :)
Instead of looping through the enitre data, try INSERT.. SELECT :
INSERT INTO table2 (date,name,task)
SELECT date,name,task
FROM Table1
WHERE < >;
In my mysql tables I have for example a row that holds values, lets call this table "days" and the row "haircuts".
So I have 5 rows all with "1","2","3","4","5" under "haircuts". What I want to do, in php, is add them all together and echo. So it would maybe look like this:
echo "Total haircuts: ",$haircuts;
Which would hopefully show:
Total haircuts: 15
I can't figure out how, though. Here's how I'm currently doing it.
$getstats = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM stats");
$gotstats = mysqli_fetch_array($getstats);
$haircuts = $gotstats['haircuts'];
But it only echoes the "haircuts" of the first row? :(
I have multiple columns I would like to total and echo too if that is possible?
You can use the MySQL statment SUM in your query, just change your code by this one:
$getstats = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT SUM(haircuts) AS totalhaircuts FROM stats");
$gotstats = mysqli_fetch_array($getstats);
$totalhaircuts = $gotstats['totalhaircuts'];
echo "Total haircuts: ",$totalhaircuts;
You probably should use MySQL SUM().
SELECT SUM(haircuts) as tot_cuts FROM stats;
$gotstats['tot_cuts'];
You need to use loop for getting all rows. Example:
$getstats = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM stats");
while($gotstats = mysqli_fetch_array($getstats)){
$haircuts = $gotstats['haircuts'];
echo $haircuts . '<br />';
}
I have a query like this:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM doctors WHERE city ='$city' LIMIT 10 ";
$result = $db->query($sql);
And I show the result like this :
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo $row->city;
}
The Problem :
Mysql , will search through my database to find 10 rows which their city field is similar to $city.
so far it is OK;
But I want to know what is the exact row_number of the last result , which mysql selected and I echoed it ?
( I mean , consider with that query , Mysql selected 10 rows in my database
where row number are:
FIRST = 1
Second = 5
Third = 6
Forth = 7
Fifth = 40
Sixth = 41
Seventh = 42
Eitghth = 100
Ninth = 110
AND **last one = 111**
OK?
I want to know where is place of this "last one"????
)
MySQL databases do not have "row numbers". Rows in the database do not have an inherent order and thereby no "row number". If you select 10 rows from the database, then the last row's "number" is 10. If each row has a field with a primary id, then use that field as its "absolute row number".
You could let the loop run and track values. When the loop ends, you will have the last value. Like so:
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo $row->city;
$last_city = $row->city;
}
/* use $last_city; */
To get the row number in the Original Table of the last resultant (here, tenth) row, you could save the data from the tenth row and then, do the following:
1. Read whole table
2. Loop through the records, checking them against the saved data
3. Break loop as soon as data found.
Like So:
while($row = $result->fetch_object()){
echo $row->city;
$last_row = $row;
}
Now, rerun the query without filters:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM doctors";
$result = $db->query($sql);
$rowNumber = 0;
while($row = $result->fetch_object()) {
if($row == $last_row) break;
$rowNumber++;
}
/* use $rowNumber */
Hope this helps.
What you can do is $last = $row->id; (or whatever field you want) inside your while loop - it will keep getting reassigned with the end result being that it contains the value of the last row.
You could do something like this:
$rowIndex = 0;
$rowCount = mysqli_num_rows($result);
You'd be starting a counter at zero and detecting the total number of records retrieved.
Then, as you step through the records, you could increment your counter.
while ( $row = $result->fetch_object() ) {
$rowIndex++;
[other code]
}
Inside the While Loop, you could check to see whether the rowIndex is equal to the rowCount, as in...
if ($rowIndex == $rowCount) {
[your code]
}
I know this is a year+ late, but I completely why Andy was asking his question. I frequently need to know this information. For instance, let's say you're using PHP to echo results in a nice HTML format. Obviously, you wouldn't need to know the record result index in the case of simply starting and ending a div, because you could start the div before the loop, and close it at the end. However, knowing where you are in the result set might affect some styling decisions (e.g., adding particular classes to the first and/or last rows).
I had one case in which I used a GROUP BY query and inserted each set of records into its own tabbed card. A user could click the tabs to display each set. I wanted to know when I was building the last tab, so that I could designate it as being selected (i.e., the one with the focus). The tab was already built by the time the loop ended, so I needed to know while inside of the loop (which was more efficient than using JavaScript to change the tab's properties after the fact).
well, i wanna pull out some data from a mysql view, but the wuery dos not seem to retrieve anything ( even though the view has data in it).
here is the code i've been "playing" with ( i'm using adodb for php)
$get_teachers=$db->Execute("select * from lecturer ");
//$array=array();
//fill array with teacher for each lesson
for($j=0;$j<$get_teachers->fetchrow();++$j){
/*$row2 = $get_lessons->fetchrow();
$row3=$row2[0];
$teach=array(array());
//array_push($teach, $row3);
$teach[$j]=mysql_fetch_array( $get_teachers, TYPE );
//echo $row3;*/
$row = $get_teachers->fetchrow();
//$name=$row[0]+" "+$row[0]+"/n";
//array_push($teach, $row1);
echo $row[0]; echo " ";echo $row[1]." ";
//$db->debug = true;
}
if i try something like "select name,surname from users", the query partially works . By partially i mean , while there are 2 users in the database, the loop only prints the last user.
the original query i wanted to execute was this
$get_teachers=$db->Execute("select surname,name from users,assigned_to,lessons
where users.UID=assigned_to.UID and lessons.LID=assigned_to.LID and
lessons.term='".$_GET['term']."'");
but because it didnt seem to do anything i tried with a view ( when you execute this in the phpmyadmin it works fine(by replacing the GET part with a number from 1 to 7 )
the tables in case you wonder are: users,assigned_to and lessons. ( assigned_to is a table connecting each user to a lesson he teaches by containing UID=userid and LID=lessonid ). What i wanted to do here is get the name+surname of the users who teach a lesson. Imagine a list tha displays each lesson+who teaches it based on the term that lesson is available.
Looking at http://adodb.sourceforge.net/ I can see an example on the first page on how to use the library:
$rs = $DB->Execute("select * from table where key=123");
while ($array = $rs->FetchRow()) {
print_r($array);
}
So, you should use:
while ($row = $get_teachers->fetchrow()) {
instead of:
for ($j = 0; $j < $get_teachers->fetchrow(); ++$j) {
The idea with FetchRow() is that it returns the next row in the sequence. It does not return the number of the last row, so you shouldn't use it as a condition in a for loop. You should call it every time you need the next row in the sequence, and, when there are no more rows, it will return false.
Also, take a look at the documentation for FetchRow().
for($j=0;$j<$get_teachers->fetchrow();++$j){
... a few lines later ...
$row = $get_teachers->fetchrow();
See how you call fetchrow() twice before actually printing anything? You remove two rows from the result set for every 1 you actually use.
while ($row = $get_teachers->fetchrow()) {
instead and don't call fetchrow() again within the loop.
Because you're fetching twice first in the loop
for($j=0;$j<$get_teachers->fetchrow();++$j){
... some code ...
// And here you fetch again
$row = $get_teachers->fetchrow();
You should use it like this
while ($row = $get_teachers->fetchrow()) {
I have these mysql dates in a table of my database,
2010-07-16 20:09:06
2010-08-16 20:19:43
2010-10-18 16:57:19
2009-09-18 16:57:42
2009-10-18 16:57:55
2009-12-24 14:59:21
How can I sort them into the result below so that I can have the end user browses monthly results?
<h2>2010</h2>
<ul>
<li>October</li>
<li>November</li>
<li>December</li>
</ul>
<h2>2009</h2>
<ul>
<li>September</li>
<li>October</li>
<li>November</li>
<li>December</li>
</ul>
can't think of anything!
I usually use gmdate() to format the dates from mysql database, for instance,
<?php
$sql = "
SELECT *
FROM root_pages
WHERE root_pages.pg_hide != '1'
ORDER BY pg_created DESC";
#instantiate the object of __database class
$object_items = new __database(DB_HOST,DB_USER,DB_PASS,DB_NAME);
$items = $object_items -> fetch_all($sql);
echo gmdate('j/n/Y', strtotime($item['pg_created']));
?>
it would great if you can give me some hint to start!
thanks,
Lau
There's plenty of ways to do this... Using MySQL, you could
SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(dt) y, MONTH(dt) m FROM t ORDER BY dt DESC
Then loop through the results:
$year = null;
foreach ($rows as $row)
{
if ($year != $row->y)
{
if ($year) echo "</ul>";
$year = $row->y;
echo "<h2>$year</h2>\n";
echo "<ul>\n";
}
echo "<li><a href='#'>{$month_name[$row->m]}</a></li>\n";
}
if ($year) echo "</ul>";
It assumes there is an array called $month_name that maps a month number to its name.
This method is most useful if you don't need the other data for that page. If you do need the full data, then you can drop the DISTINCT from the SQL, SELECT all the field you need, and add a variable to track the current $month throughout the iteration, as the above code does with $year.
Assume date is the date column you're interested in.
SELECT DATE_FORMAT(`date`, '%m-%Y') AS `formatted_date`
FROM `pages`
GROUP BY `formatted_date`
ORDER BY `date`
08-2010
09-2010
11-2010
12-2010
02-2011
03-2011
This gives you all the months that have pages. It should be simple enough to output this in some HTML. Some functions that may help along the way: explode, mktime, strtotime, date.
You can use my trick:
1
get all the info out of mysql as-is using some of the others comment's good advice.
2
make an array using strtotime:
<php? $r=array((int)strtotime('2010-07-16')=>'2010-07-16 20:09:06',) ?>
3
--sort it using
ksort($r,SORT_NUMERIC) or krsort,
Have fun with php sorting functions. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php
Note. the only down fall to this approach is that in a 32 bit machine the numeric values have limits and numbers higher than (int)2147483647 have to be cast as (strings) or (float) to be used as array keys.
You can us a dot (string)'2147483647.'
