Question

Let us say that this is my table in my database:

ID      | APP_TIME                  | NAME
----------------------------------------------------
1       | 2012-07-08 10:00:00       | John
2       | 2012-07-08 12:00:00       | Johnny
3       | 2012-07-09 13:00:00       | Fred
4       | 2012-07-10 09:00:00       | George
5       | 2012-07-10 10:30:00       | Eva
6       | 2012-07-10 14:00:00       | Monica
7       | 2012-07-11 12:00:00       | Helen
8       | 2012-07-11 13:00:00       | Kim

What I then want to output at my site:

07-08-2012
Time    | Name
----------------------------------------------------
10:00   | John
12:00   | Johnny


07-09-2012
Time    | Name
----------------------------------------------------
13:00   | Fred


07-10-2012
Time    | Name
----------------------------------------------------
09:00   | George
10:30   | Eva
14:00   | Monica


07-11-2012
Time    | Name
----------------------------------------------------
12:00   | Helen
13:00   | Kim

My problem is not formatting the datetime values and all that…
The challenge for me is to list the results accordingly to the dates they “belong” to.

Someone help ? 🙂

Came up with this solution:

$today = date('%Y-%m-%d 00:00:00');
$get_dates = mysql_query("SELECT DISTINCT DATE_FORMAT(app_time, '%Y-%m-%d') AS new_date FROM reservations WHERE app_time > '$today' ORDER BY app_time ASC");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($get_dates)) {
    $the_date = $row['new_date'];
    $results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM reservations WHERE app_time >= '$the_date 00:00:00' AND app_time < '$the_date 23:59:59' ORDER BY app_time ASC");
    while ($the_results = mysql_fetch_array($results))
    {
    // Do some stuff eg:
    echo $the_results['name'] . '<br />';
    }
}
