Re: Return Results in Categories - like CNET

Thank you but this is not what I am looking for. LIMIT will limit the overall results but I need to limit the number of matches to each category 'type' example: for the data below there may be 1000 news story matches - I want to return the user the top 5 news stories - the top 5 feature matches - the top 5 coverstories etc. Table structure is something like this id | date | category | title | article example data: 1 | 20020815 | news | title | article 2 | 20020815 | news | title | article 3 | 20020815 | features | title | article 4 | 20020815 | features | title | article 5 | 20020815 | coverstory | title | article Thanks much, olinux --- Adam Williams <awilliam@mdah.state.ms.us> wrote: > If your articles are in an SQL database uses the > LIMIT clause on your SQL > statement. > > Adam > > On Fri, 16 Aug 2002, olinux wrote: > > > I would like to allow articles to be searched and > > returned in grouped categories - similar to > cnet.com > > > > See example here: > > http://cnet.search.com/search?timeout=3&q=php > > > > Grouping is not a problem - but it becomes a > problem > > when there are thousands of results and I only > want to > > display the first few - similar to the way cnet > does. > > > > Thanks much, > > olinux > > > > > > > > > > __________________________________________________ > > Do You Yahoo!? > > HotJobs - Search Thousands of New Jobs > > http://www.hotjobs.com > > > > > > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
