Sorting data display

[llorax]

Yeah it's still giving me trouble.

<?php
$username="";
$password="";
$database="";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM showdates ORDER BY date DESC";
$info=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($info);

$sql = "SELECT date FROM showdates where date > (select curdate())";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

$date=mysql_result($result,$i,"date");
$venue=mysql_result($result,$i,"venue");
$location=mysql_result($result,$i,"location");
$information=mysql_result($result,$i,"information");
while($record = mysql_fetch_object($res))
{
echo "<tr><td>$date</td><td>$venue</td><td>$location</td><td>$information</td></tr>";
}
$i++;
}

mysql_close();
?>

and here is the exact error message:

Ok, try this in your query:

$sql = "SELECT * FROM showdates where date > (select curdate())";

Hope this helps.

//Added Later: Also, be sure to change the names in this part (the ones in red) to match your database:

$date=mysql_result($result,$i,"date");
$venue=mysql_result($result,$i,"venue");
$location=mysql_result($result,$i,"location");
$information=mysql_result($result,$i,"information");

I moved some things around and did your suggestions which got rid of all those error messages except now theres a new one:

Warning: mysql_fetch_object(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/kc/public_html/shows2.php on line 75

<?php
$username="";
$password="";
$database="";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT * FROM showdates ORDER BY date DESC";
$info=mysql_query($query);

$num=mysql_numrows($info);

$sql = "SELECT * FROM showdates where date > (select curdate())";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

$date=mysql_result($result,$i,"date");
$venue=mysql_result($result,$i,"venue");
$location=mysql_result($result,$i,"location");
$information=mysql_result($result,$i,"information");
while($record = mysql_fetch_object($res))
{

$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {

echo "<tr><td>$date</td><td>$venue</td><td>$location</td><td>$information</td></tr>";
}
$i++;
}

mysql_close();
?>

[thetestingsite]

That is due to this line:

while($record = mysql_fetch_object($res))

The part in red should be $result

Hope this helps.

[llorax]

is there something in the code that tells it to repeat? for some reason i wrote a test entry and it only showed that future entry but it repeated it hundreds of times and actually froze the browser.

[thetestingsite]

That would be due to a bad (endless) loop. The only thing that I see that could cause this would be this line:

$num=mysql_numrows($info);

It should be:

$num=mysql_num_rows($info);

Other than that, the script should work fine. Sorry I didn't notice that before.
Anyways, hope this helps.

The while loop in this case, never ends, considering it fetches data from the server continuosly. So you can call the variables inside the loop when you want.
If you tried echo inside the loop, naturally, it would freeze up.
mysql_fetch_obj never returns true so the loop is infinite.

[thetestingsite]

Instead of fumbling through this script to make it work, I decided to rewrite the script. Try the following to see if it works for you:

<?php
$username="";
$password="";
$database="";

mysql_connect(localhost,$username,$password);
mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$sql = "SELECT * FROM showdates where date > (select curdate())";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

echo '<table>';

 while ($q = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

echo "<tr><td>".$q['date']."</td><td>".$q['venue']."</td><td>".$q['location']."</td><td>".$q['information']."</td></tr>";
 }

echo '</table>';

mysql_close();
?>

Hope this helps.
