I have a MySQL table which stores information like this:
| Type | Place Name | Place Abbrv |
and lets say I have data in the table like:
Example #1:
| Office | Bill's Office | bo |
| Store | Millcreek Supply | mcs |
| Office | Harry's Office | ho |
| Store | Sam's Discount Taxidermy | sdt |
| Shipping | East Coast Distribution Facility | ecdf |
What I'd like to do is be able to have PHP grab the information out of the
database and sort like this on a webpage:
Type Name #1:
- Place Name (with hyperlink using the abbrv)
- Place Name (with hyperlink using the abbrv)
Type Name #2:
- Place Name (with hyperlink using the abbrv)
- Place Name (with hyperlink using the abbrv)
For a better illustration, using the information from Example #1:
Example #2:
Office
- Bill's Office (link using bo)
- Harry's Office (link using ho)
Store
- Millcreek Supply (link using mcs)
- Sam's Discount Taxidermy (link using sdt)
Shipping
- East Coast Distribution Facility (link using ecdf)
So basically it has to group the common "Type" fields together and list them
together and make a hyperlink.
What is the best way to do this? I've tried arrays, different MySQL calls,
voodoo, ouija boards and drinking, but nothing has gotten me what I need.
btw, the information in "Type" is not a set number. There could be 2 or 200
different "Type". (Otherwise this would be much easier and I might not have
a hangover from aforementioned drinking ;p )
