I have some data arranged in this format.
SR | NAME | FATHER NAME | ADDRESS | GROUP
1 | SAM FISHER | MR. KINGSLEY | PARK VIEW | USER
2 | JOHN FISHER | MR. KINGSLEY | PARK VIEW | USER
3 | KADINAL | MR. BEN | PARK VIEW | USER
Here 1 & 2 are children of Mr. Kingsley have same address and group. But 3rd one is not a children of Mr. Kingsley but have same address and group.
I need such query so that I can get sibling report for such data.
Output should be like this
Sibling Report
SR | NAME | FATHER NAME | ADDRESS | GROUP
1 | SAM FISHER | MR. KINGSLEY | PARK VIEW | USER
JOHN FISHER
-------------------------------------------------------------
2 | KADINAL | MR. BEN | PARK VIEW | USER
Right now I am using mysql query
SELECT id, fat_name, sec, address, class, mobile,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT stu_name order by class ASC SEPARATOR ', ' ) stu_name,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT class order by class ASC SEPARATOR '<br>' ) class,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT sec order by class ASC SEPARATOR '<br>' ) sec,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT address order by class ASC SEPARATOR '<br>' ) address,
GROUP_CONCAT(DISTINCT adm_no order by class ASC SEPARATOR '<br>' ) adm_no
FROM student
where class <> 'OUT' and session='".$session."'
GROUP BY fat_name
order by class DESC
PHP:
<?php
echo "<table id='testTable'><tr>";
$count = 1;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
extract($row);
$stu_name = $row['stu_name'];
$fat_name = $row['fat_name'];
$address = $row['address'];
echo "<td style='width:33%;'><br/>" . $stu_name . "<br/>" . $fat_name . "<br/>" . $address . "<br/><br/></td>";
if ($count++ % 3 == 0)
{
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
}
echo "</tr></table><br/><br/><br/>";
It also has a condition that if John Fisher is included with Sam Fisher on the top then John will not be repeated at the bottom.
Try (untested):
echo "<table id='testTable'><tr>";
$count = 1;
$keep_track = array(); //array to keep track of father names already displayed
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
extract($row);
$stu_name = $row['stu_name'];
$fat_name = $row['fat_name'];
$address = $row['address'];
//over here we check if the father name has been displayed already,
//initially it will be false
if(array_key_exists($fat_name,$keep_track)){
//if it has been mentioned, skip all fields and display only 'stu_name'
echo "<td style='width:33%;'><br/>" . $stu_name . "<br/><br/><br/><br/></td>";
}
else
{
//if it hasn't been displayed, show all fields
echo "<td style='width:33%;'><br/>" . $stu_name . "<br/>" . $fat_name . "<br/>" . $address . "<br/><br/></td>";
//record father name in array so that in next loop
//it is not displayed again
$keep_track[] = $fat_name;
}
if ($count++ % 3 == 0)
{
echo "</tr><tr>";
}
}
echo "</tr></table><br/><br/><br/>";
If records with the same value for "FATHER NAME" also have same values for ADDRESS and GROUP, you should consider redesign your table and put "FATHER NAME", ADDRESS and GROUP in a seperate table, and "Name" in another table with a foreign refrence. Otherwise, it will not make sense for what you want to achieve.
