I Need to select a specific row from a MySQLi database based off of a value in it.
For example I have a Table with a column named "house", and under that column there are maybe 5 rows with the title "house1" and three rows with the title "house2". I only want to select the rows that have "house1" in them.
This is my code
$query = "SELECT * FROM Hockey WHERE house = house1 ORDER BY attendance desc";
I then want it to make a table with only values from a row if the house is Jacksons
right now if I delete the WHERE part from my query it will make a table but it will have rows from both houses (Jacksons and Martlands)
Thanks!
$query = "SELECT * FROM Hockey WHERE house = 'house1' ORDER BY attendance desc";

I have "reservation" table (mySql) that contain number of columns: res_id, hotel_id, hotel_name, from_date, to_date.
I would like to select and print html table for each hotel (i'm using PHP). the result should be a title - the name of the hotel, and bellow it a list of reservation for the specific hotel.
I can do GROUP BY:
Select * FROM reservation GROUP BY hotel_id
I'm not sure if it's the right way to do it, and how do i print the results without checking all the time if the hotel_id was changed?
Thank you in advanced
GROUP BY is definitely NOT the right way to approach this. One method would be:
SELECT *
FROM reservation
ORDER BY hotel_id;
You would then loop through the result sets. When the hotel name changes, you would put in the title of the hotel.
Note: This is a poor data model if it has both the hotel id and name in reservation. This would normally be in hotel and you would connect the tables using JOIN:
SELECT h.hotel_name, r.*
FROM hotels h JOIN
reservation r
ON r.hotel_id = h.hotel_id
ORDER BY hotel_id;
Using a LEFT JOIN, you can even get hotels with no reservations.
How is it that the hotel_id would change? As per your question it seems that hotel_id is a column made for join with a "hotels" table, isn't it?
Regarding the "group by", why would you group by hotel? This would make you loose reservations data, unless you were using some sort of group_concat.
If you want to get the reservations from a specific hotel you could loop through your hotels table and inside your loop you can do:
SELECT * FROM reservations WHERE hotel_id='QUERIED_HOTEL_ID'
Then show the results.
Or you could simply
SELECT * FROM reservations
And when you get the fetched results you can make a multidimensional php array with 'hotel_id' as top level key and 'res_id' as secondary, like this:
$reservations_by_hotel = [];
do {
$resId = $row['res_id'];
$hotelId = $row['hotel_id'];
$reservations_by_hotel[$hotelId][$resId] = $row;
} while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc());
Music Database Site:
I have a table named ps_albums with columns: artist, album, genre_id, and so on.
I also have a second table named ps_users with the following column: user_id, date_joined, fave_genre_1, fave_genre_2, fav_genre_3 and other.
My overall goal is to display only the genres of music that a user selects for the top 3 favorite selections.
I am able to INSERT the genre_id of all 3 favorite genre selections into ps_profiles which hold this info. Now I need to be able to pull the 3 genres_id's and display only them instead off all genres by default.
So by default SELECT * FROM ps_albums ORDER by DESC;
Thus displaying ALL albums on the front page.
Now, when that user clicks 'My Favorite Genres' I do this...
$query= "SELECT * FROM `ps_profiles` WHERE `user_id`= $user_id";
$row = #mysql_fetch_object(#mysql_query($query));
$genre1 = $row->fav_genre_1;
$genre2 = $row->fav_genre_2;
$genre3 = $row->fav_genre_3;
I want to be able to display all records from ps_albums according to the 3 favorite selections from ps_profiles.
How would I setup the select statement?
SELECT * FROM ps_albums WHERE genre=$genre1 AND genre=$genre2 AND genre=$genre3
How would I go about this? There are more then 10 genres but I only want to show the ones selected as favorites from the 3 columns. Hopes this clarifys a bit more.
SELECT * FROM ps_albums WHERE genre in ($genre1,$genre2,$genre3)
You could use either OR's or IN() to match a column value with multiple possible value.
For example:
SELECT * FROM t WHERE a=1 OR a=2 OR a=3;
SELECT * FROM t WHERE a IN(1,2,3);
So for your case, it could look something like this:
$query = "SELECT * FROM ps_albums WHERE genre IN('$genre1', '$genre2', '$genre3')";
I added quotes in the query, I'm assuming genre's are strings?
this data is getting from some emp table table:--->"php,codeigniter,seo,html,javascript,techsupport,html,hr,finance"
here my problem based on the above data
the following table if any string matches skill from above data then show that id
table:
id skill
---------------------
1 php
2 php,hr
3 javascript,html,seo
4 sap
5 oracleapps
the result should only display 1,2,3 rows only it is possible to get that data?
I am using this query but it is fetch exact match records only
select * from seekerdetails jsd
where find_in_set( jsd.key_skills,( select lower( GROUP_CONCAT(key_skills))
from
empjobs))
First, explode your $table list, and then add it one-by-one to the FIND_IN_SET call:
$t = explode(",",$table);
$q = "SELECT * FROM seekerdetails WHERE ".
"FIND_IN_SET(".implode("', key_skills) OR FIND_IN_SET('", $t).", key_skills)";
I have an issue regarding PHP, MySql and foreign keys. I understand foreign keys and have a relationship between two tables in place as described:
Let's say I have 2 tables: 'vehicles' and 'manufacturers'.
Each row in the 'vehicles' table includes a manufacturerId column which is a foreign key relating to the 'manufacturers' table. This is set up nicely, in PhpMyAdmin when I insert a new row into the 'vehicles' table the manufacturerId column has a drop-down menu with the manufacturerId's listed as options. Very nice.
BUT: In my application, of course, I don't want the user to have to know (or have to guess) what the correct number for 'Ford' or 'BMW' is when they add a new vehicle, I want them to be able to choose the manufacturer by name.
But how does the application know the manufacturer names based on the manufacturerId? How does the application know there is a relationship between the 2 tables? Am I supposed to hard-code the relationship in the application? Am I supposed to modify all my queries to have a JOIN between the 2 tables? Or hard-code a query to get a list of manufacturers every time I want to display a drop-down of manufacturers?
Is there a way for the application to know about relationships between tables and be able to display data from a text column instead of the int column used as the ID?
Assuming your 2 table are structured like this:
VEHICLES
id
manufacturerId
vehicleName
MANUFACTURERS
id
manufacturerName
You would create your vehicle manufacturer select menu for users by querying the database like this:
// query the database
$q = 'SELECT id, manufacturerName FROM manufacturers';
$r = mysqli_query($link, $q);
// display a select menu using id and manufacturerName
echo '<select name="manufacturer">';
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($r)) {
echo '<option value="'.$row['id'].'">'.$row['manufacturerName'].'</option>';
}
echo '</select>';
To use the post data from that menu to add a vehicle & manufacturer id to your vehicles table:
$q = "INSERT INTO vehicles (manufacturerId, vehicleName) VALUES ({$_POST['manufacturer']}, '{$_POST['vehicleName']}')";
mysqli_query($link, $q);
Finally, if you wish to select the vehicle name and manufacturer in the same query, you would join the tables like this:
// Select vehicle name and manufacturer for vehicle with id of 1
$q = "SELECT v.vehicleName, m.manufacturerName, v.id AS vehicleId, m.id AS manufacturerId
FROM vehicles AS v, manufacturers AS m
WHERE v.manufacturerID = m.id
AND v.id = 1";
mysqli_query($link, $q);
I think that should answer all your questions in one way or another!
I have two tables. First table is je_addchoice, which contains fields like
choiceid
pollid
choicename
choicecreatorid
and the second table is je_uservote and the fields are
userid
pollid
choiceid
What i want to do is,
Display the choice names based on the no of votes in the je_uservote table
$query = select * from je_addchoice where poll_id='$poll_id' //order by (count(choiceid)) from second table
//QUERY FOR DISPLAY CHOICENAMES BASED ON COUNT OF VOTES
How to write the above query
My question is how to access the no of counts in the jeuservote table and display the choicenames based on the result count. Actually the votes for the choicenames in the addchoice table count is stored in the jeuservote table. How can i access the vote count for the choice names
SELECT *, (
SELECT count(*)
FROM je_uservote T2
WHERE T2.pollid=T1.pollID
AND T2.choiceid=T1.choiceID) AS votes
FROM je_addchoice T1
ORDER BY votes
