Question

I have two queries for which i want to get result in separate while loop, query is working fine but i cant figure out how to get result separated in while loop.

php

$query = "
SELECT 1 as query, title FROM $tablename WHERE category='category1' LIMIT 10
UNION
SELECT 2 as query, title FROM $tablename WHERE category='category2' LIMIT 10
";

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query) or trigger_error(mysqli_error($connection), E_USER_ERROR);

while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result[1])){
    echo $row['title'].'<br />';
}
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result[2])){
    echo $row['title'].'<br />';
}

Please see and suggest any possible way to do this.

Answer 1

$query = "
SELECT 1 as query, title FROM $tablename WHERE category='category1 LIMIT 10'
UNION
SELECT 2 as query, title FROM $tablename WHERE category='category2 LIMIT 10'
";

$result = mysqli_query($connection, $query) or trigger_error(mysqli_error($connection), E_USER_ERROR);

$qResult1 = array();
$qResult2 = array();

while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()){
    if($row['query'] == 1) $qResult1[] = $row;
    else $qResult2[] = $row;
}
