Help with a nested repeat region

[bonsai99]

Hopefully someone can help me out with this one.

I basically have some SQL returning results of a search page, where you can search on various keywords by checking boxes, and it returns Employers that match those keywords :

mysql_select_db($database_myDatabase, $myDatabase);

if (isset($_GET['ckbox'])){

// get profile keys

$ckbox = array_keys($_GET['ckbox']);

// sql string
$sql = 'SELECT Employers.*, EmployerContacts.*  FROM EmployerContacts 
INNER JOIN Employers ON EmployerContacts.EmployerID = Employers.EmployerID 
INNER JOIN EmployerProfiles ON EmployerProfiles.EmployerID = EmployerContacts.EmployerID 
WHERE EmployerProfiles.ProfileID IN(' . implode(',', $ckbox).')
GROUP BY Employers.EmployerID 
ORDER BY Employers.EmployerID DESC';

$rsContacts = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsContacts = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsContacts);
@$totalRows = mysql_num_rows($rsContacts);
}
else
{
echo 'You did not check any profiles.';
}
?>

The results are drawing fields from the Employers table and EmployerContacts table, hopefully to look like :

Employer1
Employer1.Contact 1
Employer1.Contact 2
Employer1.Contact 3
Employer2
Employer2.Contact 1
Employer2.Contact 2
Employer2.Contact 3

etc

However, I can only seem to get it to repeat the Employers, and show just the first Contact for each, like this :

Employer1
Employer1.Contact 1
Employer2
Employer2.Contact 1

etc

So I guess I'm looking for help with looping through the Contacts for each Employer.

The code currently looks like this :

<form action="" method="post">

<table width="80%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3" class="employerheader">Employer / Contacts</td>
    </tr>
    <?php
	// RepeatSelectionCounter_1 Begin Loop
	$RepeatSelectionCounter_1_IterationsRemaining = $RepeatSelectionCounter_1_Iterations;
	while($RepeatSelectionCounter_1_IterationsRemaining--){
		if($RepeatSelectionCounterBasedLooping_1 || $row_rsContacts){
?>
    <tr>
      <td class="employercell" colspan="2"><?php echo $row_rsContacts['Employer']; ?></td>
      <td width="61" class="employercell">Email ?</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td class="fieldcell"><?php echo $row_rsContacts['FirstName']; ?> <?php echo $row_rsContacts['LastName']; ?></td>
      <td width="302" class="fieldcell"><?php echo $row_rsContacts['JobTitle']; ?></td>
      <td width="61"><input name="EmailList_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" type="checkbox" id="EmailList_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>" value="Y" <?php if (!(strcmp($row_rsContacts['EmailList'],"Y"))) {echo "checked=\"checked\"";} ?> />
          <script type="text/javascript">
      	check_box[boxes] = "EmailList_<?php echo $RepeatSelectionCounter_1; ?>";
		boxes += 1;		  	
      </script></td>
    </tr>
    <?php
	} // RepeatSelectionCounter_1 Begin Alternate Content
	else{
?>
<?php } // RepeatSelectionCounter_1 End Alternate Content
		if(!$RepeatSelectionCounterBasedLooping_1 && $RepeatSelectionCounter_1_IterationsRemaining != 0){
			if(!$row_rsContacts && $RepeatSelectionCounter_1_Iterations == -1){$RepeatSelectionCounter_1_IterationsRemaining = 0;}
			$row_rsContacts = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsContacts);
		}
		$RepeatSelectionCounter_1++;
	} // RepeatSelectionCounter_1 End Loop
?>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3">&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>
    <tr>
      <td colspan="3"><input name="Update Contacts" type="submit" value="Compose Email..." />
        &nbsp;
        <input type="button" name="uncheck" value="Clear All Checkboxes" id="uncheck" onClick="uncheck_all(boxes, check_box);" /></td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</form>

Hope that makes sense.

Many thanks.

I think you need to look up 'concat'.

select 
employer
concat_ws(
              '/'
            , (ec.employee)                                             
            ) as employees asc
from employers e
inner
join employer_contacts ec
on ec.employer_id = e.employer_id

That may not be exactly correct but should give you the idea.

bazz, that won't work the way you think it will

you're probably thinking of GROUP_CONCAT

and i am not convinced that's the way to go

[IBazz]

uh-oh.

I had better find out the best way to go then coz that is what I have used.

my scenario was where I had one of each customer value (details, address, contact etc., and there was >1 machine owned by customer). concat let me bring in each individual value and where there is a series of machines for the one customer, concat put them into an array, which I could then loop through to output them on the page.

In the end I got it working using Adobe's Dreamweaver Developer Toolkit, which has a nested repeat region function.

The relevant bit of code it generated looked like this if you're interested :

 <?php
  if ($totalRows_rsContacts>0) {
    $nested_query_detail2EmployerContacts = str_replace("123456789", $row_rsContacts['EmployerID'], $query_detail2EmployerContacts);
    mysql_select_db($database_myDatabase);
    $detail2EmployerContacts = mysql_query($nested_query_detail2EmployerContacts, $connSearchTechUK) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_detail2EmployerContacts = mysql_fetch_assoc($detail2EmployerContacts);
    $totalRows_detail2EmployerContacts = mysql_num_rows($detail2EmployerContacts);
    $nested_sw = false;
    if (isset($row_detail2EmployerContacts) && is_array($row_detail2EmployerContacts)) {
      do { //Nested repeat
?>
