adding further conditions to mysql loop - php

Question

<?php
$query = $_GET['query'];
// gets value sent over search form
$min_length = 6;
// you can set minimum length of the query if you want
if(strlen($query) >= $min_length){ // if query length is more or equal minimum length then
$query = htmlspecialchars($query);
// changes characters used in html to their equivalents, for example: < to >
$query = mysql_real_escape_string($query);
// makes sure nobody uses SQL injection
$raw_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM cwnational WHERE (`postcode` = '$query') OR (`structure` LIKE '%".$query."%')") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($raw_results) > 0){ // if one or more rows are returned do following
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
echo "<p><h3>".$results['postcode']."</h3>".$results['structure']."</p>";
}
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
if($results['structure'] = "National") {
echo "print national_table";
} else {
echo "print local_table";
}
}
else{ // if there is no matching rows do following
echo "No results";
}
}
else{ // if query length is less than minimum
echo "Minimum length is ".$min_length;
}
?>
</body>
I'm totally stumped now..
When I successfully match a $query, I want to use the 2nd part of the array which should be a column called structure and use that as a switch to either print table_local or table_national from the db.
re-wrote it after getting to grips with the correct approach,
if (empty($searchTerm)) {
echo "<h1>Empty search term</h1>";
$sqlQuery = false;
} elseif (strlen($searchTerm) < $minQueryLength) {
echo "<h1>Search term must be at least ".$minQueryLength." characters long.";
$sqlQuery = false;
} else {
if (strlen($firstPart) + strlen($secondPart) == 7) {
$sqlQuery = $mysqli->query("SELECT `postcode`, `structure` FROM `cwnational` WHERE `postcode` LIKE '".$firstPart." ".$secondPart."'");
} else {
$sqlQuery = $mysqli->query("SELECT `postcode`, `structure` FROM `cwnational` WHERE REPLACE(`postcode`, ' ', '') LIKE '".$searchTerm."%'");
}
}
if (is_object($sqlQuery) && $sqlQuery->num_rows >= 1) {
$resultArr = array();
while($row = $sqlQuery->fetch_assoc()) {
$resultArr[$row['postcode']] = array();
$priceQuery = $mysqli->query("SELECT `base_rate`, `commit_mbps` FROM `pricing` WHERE `structure` = '".$row['structure']."'");
if ($priceQuery->num_rows >= 1) {
while ($price = $priceQuery->fetch_assoc()) {
$resultArr[$row['postcode']][$price['commit_mbps']] = ((float)$price['base_rate'] + $transit[$price['commit_mbps']] ) + ( ( $transit[$price['commit_mbps']] + (float)$price['base_rate'] ) * ((float)$apiUser['margin']/100) ) ;
}
}
}

Answer 1

You're reading the result set twice. This will work for the first loop, but won't execute the second because you've already reached the end. If you need to read the results twice, use this:
mysql_data_seek ($raw_results , 0 )
immediately before the second loop to set the pointer to the beginning again.
Of course, you should be using mysqli...

Answer 2

what's going wrong now? I see you need to add an equals sign here:
if($results['structure'] == "National") {
note: double equals for php conditional
It also looks like you have an "else" coming out of a "while", that won't work. And you did this "while" loop twice, I'd combine them into a single "While":
while($results = mysql_fetch_array($raw_results)){
