Good evening from rainy Palo Alto, where I'm stuck on what should be a simple problem. Two websites are powered by a single mySQL database. One website provides restaurant reviews, and the other provides golf course reviews. The database has two tables: "Properties" and "Reviews". The Properties table has a field called "Type", which for each record is either "restaurant" or "golf course".
This code below succesfully generates a list of links to individual property subpages -- restaurants and golf courses together -- into three successive groups:
1. Properties reviewed and starred
2. Properties reviewed but not starred
3. Properties neither reviewed nor starred
What's needed is to modify the code to select for type, so that the list only includes restaurants. But for some reason, I can't seem to be able to do this. Here's what I have so far:
<?
mysql_connect("ipaddress", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
@mysql_select_db("databasename") or die( "Unable to select database");
$query="SELECT p.id
, p.star
, p.property
FROM properties AS p
LEFT OUTER
JOIN ( SELECT DISTINCT link
FROM reviews ) AS r
ON r.link = p.id
ORDER
BY p.star DESC
, CASE WHEN r.link IS NULL
THEN 'last'
ELSE 'first' END
, p.property";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$id = $row['id'];
$star = ('' === $row['star']) ? '' : '<img src="star.jpg">';
$property = $row['property'];
?><a href="
http://www.nameofwebsite.com/property.php?id=<?echo $id;?>"><?
echo $star.$property.'</a><br><br>';
}
?>
Thank you very much for considering this!
