Hi! I do not understand why it is impossible to sort your query? If it is that impossible you might try subselects (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/ANSI_diff_Sub-selects.html) which does not work with _every_ version of _every_ database-system, but if you have mysql >4.1 it works. Anyways if you use JOIN (http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/JOIN.html) you can sort the resulting table however you want. hope this helps .ma Gezeala 'Eyah' Bacuño II <gezeala@hotmail.com> wrote@19.05.2003 10:02 Uhr: > Need Help on Sorting Arrays.. > > Hi! > > I have several 1 dimensional arrays..The key is the $part_id.. > > $part_id > $supplier > $name > $code > $poqty > $soqty > > > To print the contents I use : > > foreach ($part_id as $a) { > echo "<tr><td>$supplier[$a]</td>"; > echo "<td>$name[$a]</td>"; > echo "<td>$code[$a]</td></tr>"; > echo "<td>$poqty[$a]</td></tr>"; > echo "<td>$soqty[$a]</td></tr>"; > } > > Array contents came from several Postgresql query's.. > > I have no problem with the query..My problem is with the sorting of the > arrays.. > I need to sort the arrays in the following sequence : $supplier, $name, > $code > > You might ask why I did not sort from my query..Answer is it is impossible > to order them because > the values of the array came from 3 tables.. > > Order by using the query is simply not possible.. > > I tried sorting them this way : > > //order > asort($code); > foreach($code as $a => $v) { > $apart_id[$a]=$part_id[$a]; > } > asort($name); > foreach($name as $a => $v) { > $bpart_id[$a]=$apart_id[$a]; > } > asort($supp); > foreach($supp as $a => $v) { > $cpart_id[$a]=$bpart_id[$a]; > } > // display > foreach ($cpart_id as $a) { > echo "<tr><td>$supplier[$a]</td>"; > echo "<td>$name[$a]</td>"; > echo "<td>$code[$a]</td></tr>"; > echo "<td>$poqty[$a]</td></tr>"; > echo "<td>$soqty[$a]</td></tr>"; > } > > Here's a sample output after the order/sort.. > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Supplier | Part Code | Part Name | PO Qty |SO Qty | correct order > ----------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+--------+ > FTSL 1 | 954334-02310730 | Ceramic Condenser | 0 |7890 | 2nd > FTSL 1 | 9445R0-05200730 | Ceramic Condenser | 0 |10800 | 1st > FTSL 2 | 324941-06100900 | Chemical Condenser | 100 |3300 | 4th > FTSL 2 | 324941-06200900 | Chemical Condenser | 0 |4700 | 5th > FTSL 2 | 324941-0570A900 | Ceramic Condenser | 300 |500 | 3rd > MIC | 981028-03570730 | Connector | 3000 |3000 | 8th > MIC | 811600-41650730 | IC | 2000 |654 | 11th > MIC | 811600-41050730 | IC | 19000 |18162 | 10th > MIC | 811600-31700740 | IC | 2500 |546 | 9th > MIC | 954105-03050730 | Ceramic Condenser | 12000 |11166 | 7th > MIC | 934100-03650730 | Capacitor | 2000 |546 | 6th > > It's supposed to be like this : > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Supplier | Part Code | Part Name | PO Qty |SO Qty | correct order > ----------+---------------------+---------------------+--------+--------+ > FTSL 1 | 9445R0-05200730 | Ceramic Condenser | 0 |10800 | 1st > FTSL 1 | 954334-02310730 | Ceramic Condenser | 0 |7890 | 2nd > FTSL 2 | 324941-0570A900 | Ceramic Condenser | 300 |500 | 3rd > FTSL 2 | 324941-06100900 | Chemical Condenser | 100 |3300 | 4th > FTSL 2 | 324941-06200900 | Chemical Condenser | 0 |4700 | 5th > MIC | 934100-03650730 | Capacitor | 2000 |546 | 6th > MIC | 954105-03050730 | Ceramic Condenser | 12000 |11166 | 7th > MIC | 981028-03570730 | Connector | 3000 |3000 | 8th > MIC | 811600-31700740 | IC | 2500 |546 | 9th > MIC | 811600-41050730 | IC | 19000 |18162 | 10th > MIC | 811600-41650730 | IC | 2000 |654 | 11th > > > Help..This really gives me a headache!!! > > Note: Please use Courier Regular Font.. > > _________________________________________________________________ > STOP MORE SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* > http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
