Trying to figure out the best way to get and output data

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi guys,

I'm relatively new to php, and am pretty much trying to learn as I go along.
I've been struggling to get my head around this problem for a day and half,
so I'm hoping that someone with more familiarity with the language can help
me.

I have the following two tables:

CATEGORY
--------
- ID
- CategoryName
- TitleImage

SECTION
-------
- ID
- CategoryID
- SectionName
- Description

What I want is to get the name of each category and output that, and then
under each category I want to list the sections that belong to it. So for
example:

Catgeory 1
 - Section 1
 - Section 2
Category 2
 - Section 3
 - Section 4

Is there a simple way to do this? Do I need to run one query and then run a
second query inside a loop? I have concerns about overheads using this
method, but so far it's the only one I have come up with. I'm open to
suggestions, but please spell everything out clearly because I'm still
learning. :)

Cheers,

Seona.
