I just need to add a dROP DOWN to select how to sort the db. this is the code i have, but im getting errors and its not working. i just want tthis project over and done with, if someone can just re-code me please. im very very new to php, btw..so my code is probably a trainwreck.
tahnks
All i need is this end result: Tagboard taht is there, with a drop down to SORT BY, and choose how to sort the mysql data.
THANKS AGAIN!
code:
PHP Code:<?php
ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
$selected = array();
$orderby = isset($_GET['orderby']) ? $_GET['orderby'] : 'tag_date';
$orderby_query = null;
switch ($orderby) {
case "cid":
$orderby_query = "order by tag_cid asc";
break;
case "name":
$orderby_query = "order by tag_name";
break;
case "default":
break;
case "date":
$orderby_query = "order by tag_date DESC";
break;
}
// If $orderby was valid set the selected sort option for the form.
if($orderby) {
$selected[$orderby] = "selected";}
// Now run your SQL query with the $orderby_query variable. Ex:
$query = 'SELECT tag_name, tag_cid, tag_entry, tag_date FROM tagboard SORT by tag_cid';
// SQL code goes here..
define('HOST', "xx");
define('USER', "x");
define('PASS', "xxxx");
define('DB', "xx");
function doTags()
{
global $orderby_query;
$conx = mysql_connect(HOST, USER, PASS) or die("Unable to connect to MySQL Server");
mysql_select_db(DB) or die("Unable to select Database");
$stSql = "SELECT tag_name, tag_cid, tag_entry, tag_date FROM tagboard $orderby";
$arrResult = @mysql_query($stSql);
if (!$arrResult) { echo "Query Failed - Unable to Retrieve tags - ".mysql_error()." – Action Aborted"; exit(); }
if (mysql_num_rows($arrResult) >= 1)
{
