Subject: get one name for each row
I have one table with about 1000 hotels and name or the city they belong.
I want to run a query to get one row for every city only, to put it in a
pull down menu in the search form.
How is that?

Re: get one name for each row
It might be faster to instead of getting the list of cities and then in
seperate queries get all hotels for each city, to just sort by city and
fetch all, and in your application check if it has found a next city
already.
Example in php:
$res=mysql_query('select hotel,city from hotels order by city');
$lastcity=;
$firstline=;
while (list($hotel,$city)=mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
if ($city!=$lastcity) {
$lastcity=$city;
echo brb$city/b;
}
echo $hotel ;
}
Just an example, change the html output to what you want it.

RE: get one name for each row
I tried select distinct Location from hotels1 order by Location and worked. But how can I show all fields of the rows? It doesn't accept any field before distinct and shows every row after distinct (if I put select distinct Location, Name ... ) Thanks again Makis -Original Message- From: Jay Blanchard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 3:23 PM To: 'savaidis'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: get one name for each row [snip] I have one table with about 1000 hotels and name or the city they belong.

RE: get one name for each row
The table has about 80 fields. I would something like: select *, distinct Location from hotels order by Name (this one creates a MySQL error) to one full row for every Location. I suppose I have to do it with a php script. (with limit 1 to the second query) You can see it at http://www.macedonia-hotels.gr Makis -Original Message- From: Jay Blanchard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 02, 2002 6:59 PM To: 'savaidis'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: get one name for each row [snip from mysql list message] I tried select distinct Location from hotels1 order by Location and worked.
