Looping Problem

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I've got a client that has a database with about 200 events at any given time. I'm trying to loop through the dates based on a form and show the title of the event if the start date of the form matches the start date of the event. My code:

Code: [Select]// dates
$start_date = "2009-10-24";
$end_date = "2009-11-20";

// open database connection
$connection = mysql_connect($host, $user, $pass) or die ("Unable to connect!");

// select database
mysql_select_db($db) or die ("Unable to access database!");

// build query
$qry = "SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY start_date asc";
$result = mysql_query($qry) or die("Error during query!");

// loop through every day from $start_date to $end_date
for ($d=strtotime($start_date);$d<=strtotime($end_date);$d+=86400)
{
echo date("Y-m-d", $d) . "
";

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
//echo $row[event_id] . " - ";
if (strtotime($row[start_date]) == $d)
{
echo $row[title] . "
";
}
}
echo "

";
}

I get a list of dates from the start date to the end date but the only titles I see are for the first date even though other titles should be showing. I know this isn't optimal coding - (the record count will never go beyond a few hundred) - but I'm wondering why nothing beyond the first date is outputting. Any help would be appreciated.
