How to loop the data[] series with php and mysql - php

Question

Here is my table structure.
I am using highcharts
Here is my code:
$(function () {
$('#container_journal').highcharts({
xAxis: {
categories: [
'1995', '1996', '1997', '1988'
]
},
yAxis: {
title: {
text: 'Citations'
},
plotLines: [{
value: 0,
width: 1,
color: '#808080'
}]
},
tooltip: {
valueSuffix: ''
},
legend: {
layout: 'vertical',
align: 'right',
verticalAlign: 'middle',
borderWidth: 0
},
series: [{
name: 'A + U-Architecture and Urbanism',
data: [<?php
$test_q = mysql_query("SELECT jour_id, journal, citations, year FROM journ_graph WHERE jour_id = '1'");
while($row_q = mysql_fetch_array($test_q)){
$year_q = $row_q['year'];
$citations_q = $row_q['citations'];
echo $citations_q.',';
}
?>]
},{
name: 'AACE International. Transactions of the Annual Meeting',
data: [
<?php
$test_q = mysql_query("SELECT jour_id, journal, citations, year FROM journ_graph WHERE jour_id = '2'");
while($row_q = mysql_fetch_array($test_q)){
$year_q = $row_q['year'];
$citations_q = $row_q['citations'];
echo $citations_q.',';
}
?>]
},{
name: 'AACL Bioflux',
data: [
<?php
$test_q = mysql_query("SELECT jour_id, journal, citations, year FROM journ_graph WHERE jour_id = '3'");
while($row_q = mysql_fetch_array($test_q)){
$year_q = $row_q['year'];
$citations_q = $row_q['citations'];
echo $citations_q.',';
}
?>]
}
?>]
]
});
});
Here im entering manually the id. in where clause(refer code), the graph is showing.
Look Below:
SELECT jour_id, journal, citations, year FROM journ_graph WHERE jour_id = '3'
In the above statement im entering the id manually, but i need it to come from the first table, jour_id.
I tried that too but its not working.
series: [
<?php
$query_jour = mysql_query("SELECT jour_id, journal, citations, year FROM journ_graph");
$query_journ_count = mysql_num_rows($query_jour);
while($row_journ = mysql_fetch_array($query_jour)){
$jour_id = $row_journ['jour_id'];
?>
{
data: [<?php
$test_q = mysql_query("SELECT jour_id, journal, citations, year FROM journ_graph WHERE jour_id = '$jour_id'");
while($row_q = mysql_fetch_array($test_q)){
$year_q = $row_q['year'];
$citations_q = $row_q['citations'];
echo $citations_q.',';
}
?>]
}
<?php
}?>
I have used two while loops but eventhough its not working. Please tell me where I am going wrong. Please help.

Answer 1

I advice you to run one query to database, prepare array which will contain three series, then you json_encode() in PHP and get data via AJAX in javascript. It will be more clearful.
