I am trying to get something like the following: Title --------------------- topic #1 sub topic #1.1 topic #2 sub topic #2.1 sub topic #2.2
from the following table (I am using php for scripting). forum ------------ id int parent_id int (refers to the forum.id field) title ... How can I get the above output in the correct order since the posts into the table can come in any order? I have tried various order by's and group by's. I am so lost on this. Thanks in Advance, Scott Hathaway query, sql --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
