Hi,

I have a table with 4 columns and say 10 rows
Column A only ever has 2 choices and column b has ten
I want to just have 2 rows that would look something like this
Col A Col B Col C Col D Col B Col C Col D Col B Col C Col D
Col A Col B Col C Col D Col B Col C Col D Col B Col C Col D

any suggestions ?

Your question is not clear. Are you looking for the PHP code to do
this, or is it in a database and you're looking for the SQL statement?

Not clear? It was totally unintelligible.

Write some code to take what you have and store it in an array, then
write some more code to convert the array to whatever format you want.

If you can't do it from that explanation, post more words.

Hi,

At the moment the .php is pulling data from the database, running a
few sql's making sure its the data I want and then performs the below
code to pass data to a html file which then proceeds to create the
table. I have omitted some code If I omitted too much please let me
know.

My problem is that while the html table populates correctly with
mulitple rows where Col A is only ever 2 things, I would rather have
Col A containing unique data(table just has 2 rows) and have multiple
columns instead corresponding to it (Col A row 1 Col A row 2)... ??

..php

if (in_array($MetricTypeID,
array(1046,1051,1052,1054,1063,1074,1075,1103,1104))) {
array_push($DataTables['Sec'], sprintf("\t\t['/
metrics/PerformanceDetails.php?DeviceID=%s;MetricID=%s', '%s', '%s',
'%s', '%s']",
$DeviceID,
$MetricID,
$Instance,
$MetricType,
sprintf("%3.3f",
$Metrics[$MetricTypeID][$MetricID]['Average']),
sprintf("%3.3f",
$Metrics[$MetricTypeID][$MetricID]['Peak'])
));

Your problem is that you think an html file is generating code and you
don't know how to write the PHP to do the job. Pay someone money.

I never said html is generating code, I put the structure of the html
there because I thought it might be helpful, I could include all the
php code that is pulling data from the db and manipulating it, but I
thought the php code that writes to the html might be more relevant.
I came here looking for pointers and opinions so I can work on the
problem myself

<code snipped>

There are several ways to do this. For instance, you can build an array
with two elements, one for each of the two values you want in the first
column. Each of these elements contains an array the other values
values you want on that row, i.e.

Array {
[Col_A_value_1]=>
Array {
Array {[0]=>Col_B_value_1, [1]=>Col_C_Value_1, [2]=>Col_D_Value_1}
Array {[0]=>Col_B_value_2, [1]=>Col_C_Value_2, [2]=>Col_D_Value_2}
}
Col_A_value_2
Array {
Array {[0]=>Col_B_value_3, [1]=>Col_C_Value_3, [2]=>Col_D_Value_3}
Array {[0]=>Col_B_value_4, [1]=>Col_C_Value_4, [2]=>Col_D_Value_4}
}
etc.

Depending on your needs, you might also be able to put all the values
for columns B, C, etc. in one array, i.e.

Array {[0]=>Col_B_value_1, [1]=>Col_C_Value_1,
[2]=>Col_D_Value_1,[3]=>Col_B_value_2, [4]=>Col_C_Value_2,
[5]=>Col_D_Value_2}

But a better way would be to let the database do the work for you,
returning the data in the way which suits your needs. Check a newsgroup
for your database to see if this is possible.
