You probably better create a sequential array $arr[ month ] = [ 08, ... ]:
$arr = array() ;
while ($slctArchiverow = mysql_fetch_array... //fetching the array {
$getMonth = substr($slctArchiverow[diaryMonth],3); //month
$getDay = substr($slctArchiverow[diaryMonth],0,2); //day
$arr[$getMonth][] = $getYear ;
}
Now looping is trivial:
while ( list( $month, $list ) = each( $arr ) ) {
echo $month."<br/>" ;
$list2 = join( ",", $list ) ;
echo $list2 ;
// etc
}
As always, the difficulty is in designing the most suitable array structure.
