Or if you want the results in separate "tables", do this.
<?php require_once("/home/balcone/db_login.php"); ?> // in header
<?php
$item_list = "";
$cats = array('01100', '01200', '01300', '06403');
foreach ( $cats AS $cat ) {
$cat = mysql_real_escape_string($cat, $db);
$SQL = "SELECT itemid,
description,
unitprice
FROM catalog
WHERE categories='{$cat}"'
ORDER BY itemid";
;
if ( ( $results = mysql_query($SQL, $db) !== false ) {
echo <<<HTML
<table border="1">
<tr>
<th>Item ID</th>
<th>Description<br />
<font size="-1">(Click for more info)</font></th>
<th>Price Each</th>
<th>Purchase</th>
</tr>
HTML;
while ( $item = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
$price = money_format('%i', $item['unitprice']);
echo <<<ROW
<tr>
<td>{$item['itemid']}</td>
<td><a href="../shop.cgi?c=detail.htm&itemid={$item['itemid']}">
{$item['description']}</a></td>
<td align="right">{$price}</td>
</tr>
ROW;
}
echo '</table>';
} else {
echo "No results for category #{$cat}!";
}
}
?>
