Ok, so this may sound a little strange and maybe over complicated. Here is the situation. I 2 sets of 3 queries. I will try to make a simple example to explain exactly what I am trying to do:
Queries:
//First set of queries
$query1 = "SELECT Name, Date FROM Table1";
$query2 = "SELECT Type, Place, Location FROM Table2";
$query3 = "SELECT One FROM Table3";
//Second set of queries
$query4 = "SELECT Name, Date FROM Table1 WHERE ID=1";
$query5 = "SELECT Type, Place, Location FROM Table2 WHERE ID=1";
$query6 = "SELECT One FROM Table3 WHERE ID=1";
You just have to trust me when I tell you that I CANNOT combine these two sets of queries. these are over simplified select statements to get the concept of what I am trying to do.
So here is my php code:
//Set 1
$data1 = mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());
$data2 = mysql_query($query2) or die(mysql_error());
$data3 = mysql_query($query3) or die(mysql_error());
while ($line1 = mysql_fetch_array($data1, MYSQL_ASSOC) &&
$line2 = mysql_fetch_array($data2, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
while ($line3 = mysql_fetch_array($data3, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
//COMBINE $line1, line2, line3 into a single $lineSet1 -- HOW DO I DO THIS?
}
}
//Set 2
$data4 = mysql_query($query4) or die(mysql_error());
$data5 = mysql_query($query5) or die(mysql_error());
$data6 = mysql_query($query6) or die(mysql_error());
while ($line4 = mysql_fetch_array($data4, MYSQL_ASSOC) &&
$line5 = mysql_fetch_array($data5, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
while ($line6 = mysql_fetch_array($data6, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
//COMBINE $line4, line5, line6 into a single $lineSet2 -- HOW DO I DO THIS?
}
}
//Append $lineset1 and $lineset2 so I have 1 resultset $results
$result = array_merge($lineSet1, $lineSet2);
//So now I can pass this $result array into my array2csv function that takes a multidimensional array:
function array2csv(array &$array)
{
if (count($array) == 0) {
return null;
}
ob_start();
$df = fopen("exportedLeads{$_SESSION['id']}.csv", 'w');
fputcsv($df, array_keys(reset($array)));
foreach ($array as $row) {
fputcsv($df, $row);
}
fclose($df);
return ob_get_clean();
}
I know this seems really complicated, but I am pretty confused and not that good at php. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
TABLE1:
ID | Name | Date
TABLE2:
ID | Table1_ID | Type | Place | Location
TABLE3:
ID | Table1_ID | One
EDIT: I have been reading into JOIN
statements. Is this possible a case for that?
