Question

I want to sort with the WHERE function of a Query.
The only problem now is that I want the products to show all at first, and when you click sort that it sorts on page.

The Sort Query

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM artikels WHERE   
        soort='".mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['soort'])."'");

The Show all Query

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM artikels WHERE soort='dahua' ");

Somehow I need to combine these 2 But When I Do this it stops working, and doesnt even sort. When I seperate the Sort or Show all Query it does work.

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM artikels WHERE 
       soort-'dahua' AND soort='".mysql_escape_string($_REQUEST['soort'])."'");

I’d love it if someone helps me out with this because I’m now stuck on my project.

Many Thanks,

~Dave

Answer 1

To filter records from a table use WHERE e.g.

WHERE soort='dahua'

to filter records with multiple matches use OR eg.

WHERE soort='dahua' OR soort='somethingelse'

You sort the results using ORDER BY e.g.

ORDER BY soort

You can add DESC or ASC for direction
