Well, there's two ways I can think of: 1) SELECT category FROM table ORDER BY category; Then cycle through the returned list of categories and assign the category to $category. For each category, do: SELECT * FROM table WHERE category=$category ORDER BY minor_category;
2) SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY category,minor_category; Read category from first return; store in $category Then cycle through returned list. Whenever the category different from $category, make your break in the listing and set $category to new category. -----Original Message----- From: Shannon Doyle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2001 5:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] Query Help Hi people, I have a small problem with a select cause that I need to use. I basically need the following. Select * from table where page =3D=3D page_name The fields in the db are code,description,unit,price,category,minor_category Then the display needs to be something along the lines of Category Name Minor Category Code Description Unit Price Minor Category Code Description Unit Price Category Name Minor Category Code Description Unit Price The number of minor categories differ for each of the categories, as to = do the number of products in each minor_category. I could hard code in the Category Names, however, they are meant to be = dynamic as they will be changing on a monthly basis. Any help would be appreciated.
