Hi,

 

I have some code to help me keep track of the programs that I write for athletes. It is basically a traffic light system, where if an athlete's program does not need to be updated for more than a week, the cell background is green, if it needs to be updated in less than a week, it turns amber, and if it is overdue, it turns red.

 

However, the problem is that when I upload a new program, that row appears in green, but the old program can be seen in red. Basically I want the code to only show the most recent program for each athlete. Not sure if I use Max? for this.

 

I'm looking for the most recent instance of athlete_id_prog in the programs_for_athletes table.

 

Here's the relevant code:

 

 

<?php

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM t_athletes, programs_for_athletes WHERE athlete_id = athlete_id_prog and next_prog_completed='No' ORDER BY $field $sort");


echo "<table border='1'  align='center' bordercolor='#000000' CELLPADDING=5 cellspacing='0' STYLE='font-size:13px'>";
echo "<tr bgcolor='#000000'> <td>*</td><td><H3><font color='white'>First name</font> $srt[1]</h3></td> <td><H3><font color='white'>Last name</font> $srt[2]</H3></td>  <td><H3><font color='white'>Sex</font> $srt[3]</H3></td>  <td><H3><font color='white'>Program link</font> $srt[4]</H3></td> <td><H3><font color='white'>Program Expiry Date</font> $srt[5]</H3></td></tr>";
// keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get

$row_counter = 1; //create row counter with default value 0

// Print out the contents of each row into a table


/*?>$bgColors = array('F'=>'#FF99FF', 'M'=>'#CCCCCC'); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql))

{   
// Print out the contents of each row into a table   
echo "<tr bgcolor=\"{$bgColors[$row['sex']]}\">\n";    


	echo "</td><td>";
echo $row_counter++; 
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>{$row['firstname']}</td>\n";    
echo "<td>{$row['lastname']}</td>\n";   
echo "<td>{$row['sex']}</td>\n";    
echo "<td>{$row['notes']}</td>\n";   
echo "<td>{$row['note_end_date']}</td>\n";   
echo "</tr>\n";<?php */

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){   
if(strtotime($row['prog_expiry_date']) > time()){
  // date hasn't expired yet, so we check the remaining days
  $diff = strtotime($row['prog_expiry_date']) - time();
  if($diff <=  (60*60*24*7) ){
     $bgColors = '#CC6600';
  }else{
     $bgColors = '#99FF99';
  }
}else{
  // date has expired
  $bgColors = '#FF3333';
}

echo "<tr bgcolor=\"{$bgColors}\">\n";
	echo "</td><td>";
echo $row_counter++; 
echo "</td>";
echo "<td>{$row['firstname']}</td>\n";    
echo "<td>{$row['lastname']}</td>\n";   
echo "<td>{$row['sex']}</td>\n";    
echo "<td>\n";   

echo "<a href='http://www.mytestwebsite.com/athlete_programs/" . $row["program_link"] . "' target='_blank'>" . $row["program_link"] . "</a>";

echo "</td>\n";   

echo "<td>{$row['prog_expiry_date']}</td>\n";   
echo "</tr>\n";


}
echo "</table>";


?>

 

Any advice is much appreciated.

This is more of an SQL question, and can be more easily answered with a database dump including some same data. I know what you're trying to accomplish, but I don't trust myself to give you a query that's untested. It generally just leads to confusion if I've coded it incorrect.

Thanks,

 

I've included both tables as attachments and code as I'm not sure which is easier.

There is some  same data in the programs_for_athletes table.

 

Thanks for your time,

 

Dave

I would suggest MAX() along with GROUP BY, something like:

SELECT a.athlete_id, a.athlete_id, MAX(p.date) AS `date`, p.program_link
FROM
    t_athletes AS a
JOIN
    programs_for_athletes AS p
ON
    a.athlete_id = p.athlete_id_prog
GROUP BY
    a.athlete_id

Thanks for the advice cbones,

 

I had a bit of a play around with your suggestion and tried as many variations as I could, but the best I could get was that it did come up with one link for each athlete, however, there was no info displayed in the table except the program link.

 

ie. no firstname, lastname, sex or program expiry date.

 

Any tips for how to get that?

 

Yours sincerely,

Dave

Sorry, I plugged in just a couple of returns so that I could see everything without having to scroll.

 

Just change the column selection to *, but make sure to leave the MAX() in place.

SELECT a.*, MAX(p.date) AS `mdate`, p.*
FROM
    t_athletes AS a
JOIN
    programs_for_athletes AS p
ON
    a.athlete_id = p.athlete_id_prog
GROUP BY
    a.athlete_id

I tried that code and it seems to grab one instance of each athlete and show the data for all rows...however, the instance it grabs shows the first entry for each athlete, rather than the most recent entry. I changed the MAX to MIN but still got the same result. I also changed the script so it was incorporating the prog_expiry_date rather than the date column (tried MIN and MAX variations of this to no avail).

 

Ie:

 

SELECT a.*, MAX(p.prog_expiry_date) AS `mprog_expiry_date`, p.*
FROM
    t_athletes AS a
JOIN
    programs_for_athletes AS p
ON
    a.athlete_id = p.athlete_id_prog
GROUP BY
    a.athlete_id ORDER BY $field $sort

 

Any idea what can rectify this?
