Question

I have a table something like
`

name    id   date        login  logout
arjun   1    2012-11-28  9-30   7-30
arjun   1    2012-11-29  9-30   8-00
arjun   1    2012-11-30  9-40   8-00`

i want to view this table as

`
name    id   date        login  logout
             2012-11-28  9-30   7-30
arjun   1    2012-11-29  9-30   8-00
             2012-11-30  9-40   8-00`

Is this possible? if so how?

Answer 1

You can do it with group_concat of mysql

Select 
    name , 
    id , 
    group_concat(date) as `Date`, 
    group_concat(login) as login_time, 
    group_concat(logout) as logout_time
from mytable
group by name

On the front end you can use loop to display according to your requirements. And if you are using php you can use explode function of php. If something else then try to find out how you can explode the cell value.
