Array duplicating information - php

Question

My apologies if this has been addressed - I have been searching all day and haven't found anything that meets my needs.
I have a foreach loop in php that is repeating information ad nauseum, and I am not sure how to fix it. I have tried grouping, array_unique, etc., and haven't found a solution. No row is a true duplicate of another when all variables are taken into account.
I have a table where each line represents a winning ticket. Each line has a unique ID, a date, a tier (1,2,3), and some other variables worth of information. I would like to organize this by date, ascending by tier number, where the date is listed once and each ticket is listed once. Right now, each row is listed as a ticket, but repeats multiple times. Here is my code - I have removed the displays in between as those work fine:
$selectResults = "SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE YEAR(date) = 2014 ORDER BY date DESC, tier ASC";
$getResults = #mysqli_query($connect, $selectResults) or die('query error: ' . mysqli_error($connect));
if(mysqli_num_rows($getResults) == 0){
echo "There are no tickets to display.";
}else{
echo "<table><tr><th>Date</th><th>Tier</th><th>Points</th><th>Prize Amount</th></tr>";
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($getResults)){
extract($row);
foreach($row as $ticket => $date){
echo "<tr><td>" . date('n/j/Y', strtotime($date)) . "</td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td></tr>";
if (1 == $tier)
{
(Display Tier 1 tickets for date)
}
if (2 == $tier)
{
(Display Tier 2 tickets for date)
}
if (3 == $tier)
{
(Display Tier 3 tickets for date)
}
}
echo "<tr class='bottomRow'><td colspan='4' /></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

Get rid of the foreach loop:
foreach ($row as $ticket => $date)
You're already looping over the rows with the while loop. $row just contains a single row, with each column as an element of the array.
Your code should look like:
$last_date = null;
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($getResults)) {
extract($row);
if ($date != $last_date {
echo "<tr><td>" . date('n/j/Y', strtotime($date)) . "</td><td> </td><td> </td><td> </td></tr>";
$last_date = $date;
}
// Display ticket details
}
