Subject: [PHP] How? :)
Let's say I have two fields TNum and AU.
TNum is a <select><option>British<option>American<option>Canadian
AU <input> name of an author. I want to sort them as follows.
British
Shakespeare
American
Joyce
Samuels
Twain
Canadian
Majors
Kamboureli
How do I get this to work in this code below?
I want to echo TNum one time only and echo every AU.
$news = mysql_query("select * from bookmarks ORDER by TNum,AU asc");
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
if (...??) #when TNum occurs the first time, echo it once only.
{
$body .= "<b>".$mydata->TNum.":</b>";
}
$body .= "<li>".$mydata->AU."</li>";
}
