I am trying to pull a list of Events, also seeing which members have paid for the Events. I then want to see if they are on the committee, to see if they have admin permissions.
I have successfully done this, using three SQL queries, then using three foreach loops to build the Array.
I am SURE this can be done with one SQL query and one foreach loop, however I have not yet mastered the JOIN technique.
I am using Expression Engine, Codeigniter Active Record, I will display to you the SQL output and also what my current EE functions look like.
THANKS FOR THE HELP! :D
SQL to select ALL events which are active
SELECT `id` as event_ID, `name` as event_name, `description` as event_description
FROM (`events`)
WHERE `events_category_id` = '1'
AND `active` = 1
ORDER BY `name` asc
EE CODE to achieve this:
$query = $this->theDb->select('id as event_ID, name as event_name, description as event_description')
->order_by("name", "asc")
->get_where('events', array('event_category_id'=>$event_type,'active'=>1));
**
SQL to find what EVENT IDs the user has paid for

->join('events', 'events.id = admins.event_ID')
->get_where('admins', array('admins.member_id' => $memberID, 'events.active' => 1));
FOR EACH LOOPS
// Create list of Events setting defaults
foreach($events_list as $row)
{
$combinedEvents[$row->event_ID] = array(
'eventID' => $row->event_ID,
'eventName' => $row->event_name,
'eventDescription' => $row->event_description,
'isJoined' => 0,
'roleID' => 0,
'roleDescription' => "",
);
}
// Add Committee roles
foreach($admin_list as $row)
{
$combinedEvents[$row->event_ID]['roleID'] = $row->role_id;
$combinedEvents[$row->event_ID]['roleDescription'] = $row->role_description;
}
// Add Transactions
foreach($transaction_list as $row)
{
$combinedEvents[$row->joinedID]['isJoined'] = 1;
}
I don't quite understand the FOREACH part because I've never touched PHP - but you should be able to solve the multiple SQL queires using the ;with clause. I have created an example in response to another question here and here. Is this what you're looking for?

I am using DB facade and select method to run raw SQL queries with bindings. Just need to know can we do have multiple parameters with the same name in the query and replace that by providing only 1 binding with parameter name.
e.g.
$sql = "SELECT students.id, students.name FROM students
where students.student_id = :student_id
where added_on = ( SELECT MAX( added_on ) AS newdate
FROM students WHERE student_id = :student_id)"
return DB::select($sql, [
'student_id' => 1
]);
note: it might possible that I do not have to use student_id twice in this query. It just an example.
The purpose is to know if we can achieve this.
I don't believe its possible, it's not ideal, but I generally do something like:
$sql = "SELECT students.id, students.name FROM students
where students.student_id = :student_id_1
where added_on = ( SELECT MAX( added_on ) AS newdate
FROM students WHERE student_id = :student_id_2)"
$student_id = 1;
return DB::select($sql, [
'student_id_1' => $student_id,
'student_id_2' => $student_id
]);
I am currently trying to get data from my table (mostKills by Weapon in a table with over 300 kills). Initially I did a normal query
$q = $mysql->query("SELECT * FROM `kills`") or die($mysql->error);
but when I tried to
$query2 = $mysql->query("SELECT `killerID`, COUNT(`killerID`) AS tot_kills FROM `kills` WHERE `killText` LIKE '%$gun%' GROUP BY `killerID` ORDER BY `tot_kills` DESC;") or die($mysql->error);
$kData = $query2->fetch_assoc();
$query3 = $mysql->query("SELECT `Username` FROM `players` WHERE `ID` = '" . $kData['killerID'] . "'") or die($mysql->error);
$uData = $query3->fetch_assoc();
$array[$gun]['Kills']++;
$array[$gun]['Gun'] = $gun;
$array[$gun]['BestKiller'] = $uData['Username'];
$array[$gun]['killAmount'] = $kData['tot_kills'];
function sortByKills($a, $b) {
return $b['Kills'] - $a['Kills'];
}
usort($array, 'sortByKills');
foreach($array as $i => $value)
{
// table here
}
I had to do it in a while loop, which caused there to be around 600 queries, and that is obviously not acceptable. Do you have any tips on how I can optimize this, or even turn this into a single query?
I heared JOIN is good for this, but I don't know much about it, and was wondering if you guys could help me
Try this...
I added a inner join and added a username to your select clause. The MIN() is just a way to include the username column in the select and will not have an impact on you result as long as you have just 1 username for every Killerid
SELECT `killerID`
, COUNT(`killerID`) AS tot_kills
, MIN(`Username`) AS username
FROM `kills`
INNER JOIN `players`
ON `players`.`id` = `kills`.`killerid`
WHERE `killText` LIKE '%$gun%'
GROUP BY `killerID`
ORDER BY `tot_kills` DESC
SELECT kills.killerID, count(kills.killerID) as killTotal, players.Username
FROM kills, players
WHERE kills.killText
LIKE '%$gun%'
AND players.ID` = kills.killerID
GROUP BY kills.killerID
ORDER BY kills.tot_kills DESC
Here is a good place to learn some more about joins.

The best way is to have your own knowledge so you can be able to tune up your select queries.
Also put more indexes to your DB, and try to search and join by index.
Using Zend DB. I am trying to figure out how to write this query using the DB Class.
select
org.orgid
org.role
user.userid
user.firstname
from orgTable org
join userTable user on org.userid = user.userid
where org.orgid = 'generated-id'
from the documents I understand or think I understand how to do it with one definition using an AS like condition, but even then Im still not sure. Eventually this will branch out into a multi table join, based on cross table conditions so not sure how to achieve this to begin with.
I think this is what are you looking for
$db = Zend_Db::factory( ...options... );
$select = $db->select()
->from(array('org' => 'orgTable'),
array(
'orgid' => 'org.orgid',
'role' =>'org.role',
'userid' =>'user.userid',
'firstname' =>'user.firstname'
))
->join(array('user' => 'userTable'),
'org.userid = user.userid',array())
->where('org.orgid = ?',$generated_id);
Here is a Zend_Db_Select that returns the result you are looking for.
$select = $db->select()
->from(array('org' => 'orgTable'), array('orgid', 'role'))
->join(array('user' => 'userTable'), 'org.userid = user.userid', array('userid', 'firstname'))
->where('org.orgid = ?', 'generated-id');
You can use the array notation for table names to get the aliased names in the query.
Hope that helps.
In zend framework 2 , the following code helps you what are you looking for
$generated_id = 1 ;
$select = new \Zend\Db\Sql\Select( array('org' =>'orgTable'));
$select->columns(array('orgid','role') )
->join( array('user' => 'userTable'),
'org.userid = user.userid',
array('userid','firstname')
)->where( array('org.orgid' => $generated_id ) );
if your adapter platform is mysql, then for printing sql
$mysqlPlatform = new \Zend\Db\Adapter\Platform\Mysql();
echo $select->getSqlString( $mysqlPlatform );
which print sql as
SELECT
`org`.`orgid` AS `orgid`,
`org`.`role` AS `role`,
`user`.`userid` AS `userid`,
`user`.`firstname` AS `firstname`
FROM
`orgTable` AS `org`
INNER JOIN `userTable` AS `user`
ON `org`.`userid` = `user`.`userid`
WHERE
`org`.`orgid` = '1'
Hey guys need some more help
I have 3 tables USERS, PROFILEINTERESTS and INTERESTS
profile interests has the two foreign keys which link users and interests, they are just done by ID.
I have this so far
$statement = "SELECT
InterestID
FROM
`ProfileInterests`
WHERE
userID = '$profile'";
Now I want it so that it selects from Interests where what it gets from that query is the result.
So say that gives out 3 numbers
1
3
4
I want it to search the Interests table where ID is = to those...I just don't know how to physically write it in PHP...
Please help.
Using a JOIN:
Best option if you need values from the PROFILEINTERESTS table.
SELECT DISTINCT i.*
FROM INTERESTS i
JOIN PROFILEINTERESTS pi ON pi.interests_id = i.interests_id
WHERE pi.userid = $profileid
Using EXISTS:
SELECT i.*
FROM INTERESTS i
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT NULL
FROM PROFILEINTERESTS pi
WHERE pi.interests_id = i.interests_id
AND pi.userid = $profileid)
Using IN:
SELECT i.*
FROM INTERESTS i
WHERE i.interests_id IN (SELECT pi.interests_id
FROM PROFILEINTERESTS pi
WHERE pi.userid = $profileid)
You are on the right track, lets say you execute the query above using this PHP code:
$statement = mysql_query("SELECT InterestID FROM `ProfileInterests`
WHERE userID = '$profile'");
Then you can use a PHP loop to dynamically generate an SQL statement that will pull the desired IDs from a second table. So, for example, continuing the code above:
$SQL = "";
while ($statementLoop = mysql_fetch_assoc($statement)) {
//Note the extra space on the end of the query
$SQL .= "`id` = '{$statementLoop['InterestID']}' OR ";
}
//Trim the " OR " off the end of the query
$SQL = rtrim($SQL, " OR ");
//Now run the dynamic SQL, using the query generated above
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `table2` WHERE {$SQL}")
I haven't tested the code, but it should work. So, this code will generate SQL like this:
SELECT * FROM `table2` WHERE `id` = '1' OR `id` = '3' OR `id` = '4'
Hope that helps,

Most likely you want to join the tables
select
i.Name
from
ProfileInterests p
inner join
interests i
on
p.interestid = i.interestid
where
p.userid = 1
table 1 = events -> holds a list of events
table 2 = response -> holds a list of users responses has a foreign key of eid which corresponds with events table
I need to join the tables together so it can return an array similar to this on php.
array(
0 => array(
'title' =>'', //title of events table
'contents' =>'this is a demo', //contents of events table
'users' => array( //users comes from response table
0 = array(
'firstname'=>'John',
),
1 = array(
'firstname'=>'James',
)
)
)
);
can this be done? using mysql only? coz i know you can do it on php.
You can gather all the necessary data in MySQL with a single JOIN query.
However, PHP will not return an array like your example by default. You would have to loop over the query result set and create such an array yourself.
I'm pretty sure the answer is no, since mysql always returns a "flat" resultset. So, you can get all the results you're looking for using:
SELECT e.title, e.contents, r.firstname
FROM events e LEFT JOIN response r ON e.id = r.eid
ORDER BY e.id, r.id
And then massaging it into the array with php, but I imagine this is what you're doing already.
EDIT:
By the way, if you want 1 row for each event, you could use GROUP_CONCAT:
SELECT e.title, e.contents, GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT r.firstname ORDER BY r.firstname SEPARATOR ',') as users
FROM events e LEFT JOIN response r ON e.id = r.eid
GROUP BY e.id
Just as Jason McCreary said. For you convenience, here is the query you need (though the field names might not be matching your db structure, as you did not provide this information)
SELECT
*
FROM
events
LEFT JOIN
responses ON (events.id = responses.eid)
The SQL is:
SELECT events.id, events.title, events.contents,
response.id AS rid, response.firstname
FROM events LEFT JOIN response
ON events.id = response.eid
I thought I would show you how to massage the results in to the array as you wished:
$query = "SELECT events.id, events.title, events.contents, response.id AS rid, response.firstname
FROM events LEFT JOIN response ON events.id = response.eid";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$events = array();
while ($record = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
if (!array_key_exists($record['id'], $events)) {
$events[$record['id']] = array('title' => $record['title'], 'contents' => $record['contents'], 'users' => array());
}
if ($record['rid'] !== NULL) {
$events[$record['id']]['users'][$record['rid']] = array('firstname' => $record['firstname']);
}
}
mysql_free_result($result);
