Hi, I have a table that contains something like follows: id prop_name status action_date prop_type address 1 name1 ok 2001-12-12 1 addy1forname1 2 name2 ok 2001-12-13 1 addy1forname2 3 name1 ok 2001-12-13 1 addy2(new)forname1 4 name3 ok 2001-12-14 2 addy1forname3 5 name2 ok 2001-12-13 1 addy2(new)forname2
If I am looking for all prop_names of type=1 I must get the following list only: name1 with id=3 and name2 with id=5. the other name1's and name2's and name3 should not be included as they are either older or not of type 1. Also, another twist. The name1 and name2 should only be listed if their action_date is not older than 52 weeks (1 year). A bit more background to clarify. The table holds data for properties which gets updated from time to time. I have a search function on a website using php that allows the user to search for all type 1's and I only want the latest entry for each prop_name to appear on the list and only if the data is not older than a year. My existing code works fine, but it doesn't work when a new entry is made to the table ( it shows both or all of the previous entries as well). I am looking for an sql string solution here that will only return the rows I'm looking for as I have already written all the code to run through these rows and create hyperlinks etc, so I would ideally not want to change that if possible. So, basically my problem is that my current sql string returns "incorrect" rows along with correct ones and I would like to remove the incorrect ones by using a different sql string rather than write more if's and then's to try to sort out which rows are garbage and which should be echoed. Thanks alot. Please yell if I can make the problem more clear. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
