Question

So basically, i’m trying to make some sort of timeline with the post of my users, that gives me the posts of all users ordered by time. But instead, gives me the following:

*User1  'post1',
 User1  'post2',
 User1  'post3'..

*User2  'post1',
 User2  'post2',
 User2  'post3'..

---

I want all the post ordered instead of all the posts from user1 then all the posts from user2, etc. Well i hope it made sense thank you guys.

The query

  <?php
$varq1 = mysql_query('SELECT id2 FROM followers WHERE id ="'.$_SESSION['id'].'"');
    while($req5 = mysql_fetch_array($varq1)){

$req9=$req5['id2'];
$nsql = mysql_query('SELECT content, id, profile_id FROM contenido WHERE profile_id in("'.$req9.'") order by content_time desc');**strong text**
while($nrow = mysql_fetch_array($nsql)){    
?>

The HTML/ php call

<div class="divider">
<center><?php echo  "".$nrow['content'].""; ?><center/>
</div>

Answer 1

you can do both queries in a single one … giving you the ability to sort by time

select content,id, profile_id from contenido where profile_id in (SELECT id2 FROM followers WHERE id ="'.$_SESSION['id'].'") order by content_time desc

fetch that and you will have exactly what you want 🙂 all the posts from different users sorted by time.
