Hi, Sorry about the stupid mistakes, should ofcourse have been: $sqlstmt1 = "select category, name, code, city from table order by category"; $rs1 = mysql_query ($sqlstmt1); $category=''; while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_object ($rs1) { if ($category != $row1->category) { $category = $row1->category; Print($category."<br>"); } Print($row1->name. '-' .$row1->code. '-' .$row1->city. "\n'); } Regards Henrik Hornemann -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: Henrik Hornemann [mailto:HEH@xxxxxxx] Sendt: 27. oktober 2005 14:24 Til: php-db@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Emne: SV: Detailed Report How about: $sqlstmt1 = "select category, name, code, city from table order by category"; $categry=''; while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_object ($rs1) { if ($old_category != $row1->category) { $ category = $row1->category; Print($category."<br>"); } Print($row1->name.

Does anybody else have a better one than this? #main loop, gather distinct / unique category names $sqlstmt = "select distinct(category) as category from table"; $rs = mysql_query ($sqlstmt); while ($row = mysql_fetch_object ($rs)) { print $row->category . "\n"; # output Customers / Providers $sqlstmt1 = "select name, code, city from table"; $rs1 = mysql_query ($sqlstmt); # inner loop, display those which category is from the main loop while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_object ($rs1) { print $row1->name . '-' . $row1->code . '-' . $row1->city . "\n'; # output John - A36 - City } } Danny wrote: >Hi All, > I´ve got a connection, to a MySQL db, and get the following >ResultSet(Category | Name | Code | City) > Customers | John | A36 | New York >Customers | Jason | B45 | Los Angeles >Customers | Max | A36 | Paris >Providers | John | A36 | London >Providers | Mark | B67 | Madrid >And I need the report in the following format: > Customers >John - A36 - New York >Jason - B45 - Los Angeles >Max - A36 - Paris > Providers >John - A36 - London >Mark - B67 - Madrid > Any one can help?
