My problem is that when I display my SQL table, the date is in a different order as it is on the SQL table, so the date does not correspond with the eid.
The SQL table has the following order.
EID 72: DATE: 2014-04-08 SUBJECT: 3rd event
EID 70: DATE: 2014-04-02 SUBJECT: 1st one
EID 69: DATE: 2014-04-01 SUBJECT: 2nd Event
EID 71: DATE: 2014-03-31 SUBJECT: Fourth event
However it displays in html as
EID: 71 DATE: 2014-04-08 SUBJECT: 3rd event
EID: 72 DATE: 2014-04-01 SUBJECT: Fourth event
EID: 69 DATE: 2014-04-02 SUBJECT: 1st one
EID: 70 DATE: 2014-03-31 SUBJECT: 2nd Event
For some reason when translating from SQL through PHP, the date loses it's order. Here is my php code which displays the results
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","admin","password") or die ("could not connect to the server");
mysql_select_db("app") or die ("that database could not be found");
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `notification` WHERE `date` AND `active`=0 < NOW()") or die ("The query could not be completed. Please try again later");
while($noticerow=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
$nid[] = $noticerow['nid'];
$eid[] = $noticerow['eid'];
$subject[] = $noticerow['subject'];
$noticedate[] = $noticerow['date'];
}
$a=0;
while(mysql_num_rows($result)>$a)
{
echo "<tr><td><a onclick='location.href=\"calendar.php?action=display_event&oid=".$eid[$a]."\"'>".$eid[$a]."</a></td><td><a onclick='location.href=\"calendar.php?action=display_event&oid=".$eid[$a]."\"'>".$noticedate[$a]."</a></td><td><a onclick='location.href=\"calendar.php?action=display_event&oid=".$eid[$a]."\"'>".$subject[$a]."</a></td><td><form action='rnotice.php' method='POST'><button value='submit' class='btn btn-danger pull-right' type='submit' onclick='location.href=\"calendar.php?action=display_event&oid=".$eid[$a]."\"'>Remove</button><input name='eid' type='hidden' value=".$eid[$a]."></form></td></tr>";
$a++;
}
