@NogDogJul 08.2014 — #Without a better DB schema, this is all I can think of off the top of my head:
Sorting After the Query
I have a database of catering orders. Some of the orders have refill times (1 & 2). I need to display a list of all order, including separate entries for those with refill times, in chronological order for a particular date. So if order A has 2 refill times I want to see this:
[INDENT]order A (9 am)
order B (10 am)
order C (11 am)
order A refill 1 (12 pm)
order D (1 pm)
order E (2 pm)
order A refill 2 (3 pm)
etc[/INDENT]
I am unable to figure out the query this is what I have:
[code=php]$sql1=”SELECT * FROM forms_hostess WHERE month=’$m’ AND day=’$d’ AND year=’$y’ AND cancelled!=’x’ ORDER BY starttime”;
This just shows the order once not 3 times (1 – for the order, 2 – for refill 1, 3 – for refill 2)
I am assuming that I have to have code after the fact checking for if there are refill times and reiterated the entry but I am unsure how.

$sql1 = <<<EOD
(
SELECT *, starttime AS sort_time
FROM forms_hostess
WHERE month='$m' AND day='$d' AND year='$y' AND cancelled!='x'
) UNION (
SELECT *, refill_1 AS sort_time
FROM forms_hostess
WHERE month='$m' AND day='$d' AND year='$y' AND cancelled!='x' AND refill_1 IS NOT NULL
) UNION (
SELECT *, refill_2 AS sort_time
FROM forms_hostess
WHERE month='$m' AND day='$d' AND year='$y' AND cancelled!='x' AND refill_2 IS NOT NULL
)
ORDER BY sort_time
EOD;
