i have some data at DB like: qty item id date 0001-0500 abcd 1

  • 0

i have some data at DB like:

qty       item  id  date
0001-0500 abcd  1   2010-06-22
0001-0500 abcd  2   2010-06-22
0001-0500 abcd  3   2010-06-22

i want some script can make them order by date and show result :

qty : 500 (it means 500-1=500,number 1 read 1-1 = 0)
item : abcd
id : 3 (counting from 1 until 3)
date :2010-06-22

qty    item     id   date
500    abcd     3     2010-06-22

i have tried like this:

'SELECT qty, item, COUNT(*) FROM inspec GROUP BY date';

before use the code above,i still confuse to make changes at :

qty       
0001-0500 
0001-0500      =>result become:qty : 500 (it means 500-1=500,number 1 read 1-1 = 0)
0001-0500

    Sorting and counting can be (and I’d say usually are) done at the database level, using SQL. Otherwise, there are language constructs that can do the heavy lifting for you, again, called sort and count.

    If you’re using MySQL, the tutorial is a good place to start learning. For PHP, you might find this book helpful.
