I need some help with some methodology
I have a SQL statement that fetches results from a questions
'header table'.
while()
the data is being fetched I'm running another SQL statement that pulls comments
from a 'sub table' according to the id
fetched from the questions
table.
When I echo all together, question
number 1's comments
show fine, all the comments related to the question
are showing fine.
The issue is when question
number 2's comments
are echoed, comments from question
number 1 show up (duplicated).
I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong.
Here's a simplified version of what my code looks like just to show the methodology:
$comment_list = ""; // to display comments
$GET_QUESTIONS = $DBH->prepare("SELECT ...");
// parameters are bound here using $GET_STATEMENTS->bindParam();
while($row = $GET_QUESTIONS->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$question_id = $row['id'];
$question_string = $row['string'];
// NOW I PULL THE COMMENTS
$GET_COMMENTS = $DBH->prepare("SELECT ...");
// parameters are bound here using $GET_COMMENTS->bindParam();
while($row = $GET_COMMENTS->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){
$comment_id = $row['id'];
$comment_string = $row['string'];
$comment_list .= "
<p>" .$comment_string. "</p>
";
}
echo "
<h1>" .$question_string. "</h1>
" .$comment_list. "
";
}
Why are the duplicates happening when echoing the second question
?
