Question

I am trying to take the following rows

username | id | role

SELECT u.username, u.id, r.role FROM ".TBL_USERS." u
 INNER JOIN ".TBL_ADMIN_ROLES." r ON r.userid = u.id
 WHERE u.userlevel > 3

At the moment, I use the following code to get the results.

<?php
            $q = $database->getAllAdmins();
            while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
            {
                ?>
                <a class="main" href="profile.php?id=<? echo $row['id']; ?>"><? echo $row['username']; ?></a>
                <ul>
                    <li><? echo $row['role']; ?></li>
                </ul>
                <?
            }
            ?>

Obviously, this is looping through and showing the username over and over.
What I want it to do is show the username once and then show every role below.

Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

Answer 1

$q = $database->getAllAdmins();
$user = "";
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($q)) {
    if ($user != $row['username']) {
        if ($user != "") { echo "</ul>"; }
        echo "<a class='main' href='profile.php?id={$row['id']}'>{$row['username']}</a>";
        echo "<ul>";
    }
    echo "<li>{$row['role']}</li>";
    $user = $row['username'];
}

My answer is the same concept as the others, just cleaner.
