Same results from Database - php

Question

I need to add "Last member topics" in the members profile, so that it shows the last 5 topics that member wrote.
I used this code:
$last_topic = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " .prefix. "TOPICS WHERE T_AUTHOR = '".$ProMemberID."' ORDER BY T_DATE DESC LIMIT 5") or die (mysql_error());
$result = mysql_num_rows($last_topic);
if ($result > 0){
$rslast = mysql_fetch_array($last_topic);
$topic_id = $rslast['TOPIC_ID'];
$topic_subject = $rslast['T_SUBJECT'];
$topic_mes = $rslast['T_MESSAGE'];
$t_ret = $rslast['T_ENUM'];
$i=0;
while ($i < $result){
echo '<tr>
<td colSpan="2" align="center" class="userdetails_data" width="100%">
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<font style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial"><a href="index.php?mode=t&t='.$topic_id.'">
'.$topic_subject.'</a>
</td>
<td class="editedby" width="130">
<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 9pt"> Edited
:
'.$t_ret.'</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
';
++$i;
}
}else {
echo '<tr><td colSpan="2" align="center" class="userdetails_data" width="100%">
<span lang="ar-eg">
<font color="#FF0000" style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial">This member has no topics yet! </font></span></td></tr>';
}
It works, but showing the same topic in the 5 rows??!!
any solutions?

Answer 1

its because you are assigning a $rslast one time and then using this variable in loop ,
try this
$last_topic = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " .prefix. "TOPICS WHERE T_AUTHOR = '".$ProMemberID."' ORDER BY T_DATE DESC LIMIT 5") or die (mysql_error());
$result = mysql_num_rows($last_topic);
if ($result > 0){
while($rslast = mysql_fetch_array($last_topic)) {
$topic_id = $rslast['TOPIC_ID'];
$topic_subject = $rslast['T_SUBJECT'];
$topic_mes = $rslast['T_MESSAGE'];
$t_ret = $rslast['T_ENUM'];
echo '<tr>
<td colSpan="2" align="center" class="userdetails_data" width="100%">
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<font style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial"><a href="index.php?mode=t&t='.$topic_id.'">
'.$topic_subject.'</a>
</td>
<td class="editedby" width="130">
<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 9pt"> Edited
:
'.$t_ret.'</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
';
}
}else {
echo '<tr><td colSpan="2" align="center" class="userdetails_data" width="100%">
<span lang="ar-eg">
<font color="#FF0000" style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial">This member has no topics yet! </font></span></td></tr>';
}

Answer 2

You are getting same value because your $result var has total rows from query which in this case is 5 while you are saving the value to variable $rslast, instead use while loop so that you can loop over array values.
$last_topic = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM " .prefix. "TOPICS WHERE T_AUTHOR = '".$ProMemberID."' ORDER BY T_DATE DESC LIMIT 5") or die (mysql_error());
$result = mysql_num_rows($last_topic);
if ($result > 0){
while($rslast = mysql_fetch_array($last_topic,MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
//^-----while Loop added to loop through arrays, ^----associative array
$topic_id = $rslast['TOPIC_ID'];
$topic_subject = $rslast['T_SUBJECT'];
$topic_mes = $rslast['T_MESSAGE'];
$t_ret = $rslast['T_ENUM'];
echo '<tr>
<td colSpan="2" align="center" class="userdetails_data" width="100%">
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td>
<font style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial"><a href="index.php?mode=t&t='.$topic_id.'">
'.$topic_subject.'</a>
</td>
<td class="editedby" width="130">
<font face="Arial" style="font-size: 9pt"> Edited :'.$t_ret.'</font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>';
}}else {
echo '<tr><td colSpan="2" align="center" class="userdetails_data" width="100%">
<span lang="ar-eg">
<font color="#FF0000" style="font-size: 9pt" face="Arial">This member has no topics yet! </font></span></td></tr>';
}
