I need something like this, can anyone point me in the right direction? Never attempted anything like this before so I could use some insight. Thank you!

hmmm...you should be more specific...there are many things going on here...

i think you just want a blog...there's billions of them all over the internet for download...search away...

good luck...vaska

doh, sorry about that. I was referring to the way the dates are being sorted. A list of records per date, rather than posting the date for each record.

Its actual quite easy. just store the date for the first post and then only display the post when it changes. a quick example

 

<?
$num1=array(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4,4,5);
$num2=array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);

$strnum=0;
for ( $loop=0; $loop<count($num1); $loop++; )
{
    if ( $num1[$loop] != $strnum)
    {
        echo "New number : ".$num1[$loop]."\n<br>\n";
        $strnum=$num1[$loop];
    }
    echo $num2[loop]."\n<br>\n";
}

?>

I think that should work

I have an idea how this might work and it kind of follows the method you posted, but how would I separate data according to 'days'?

Probably the easiest thing in the world. lol

Simply convert the date into a time stamp. or just compare the strings. say replace

[EDIT]
You might want to sort the array to get it in the same order the time stamp is probably best for this.
[/EDIT]

$num1=array(1,1,1,2,2,3,4,4,4,5);

with

$num1=array("1st Jan","1st Jan","1st Jan","2nd Jan","2nd Jan","3rd Jan","4th Jan","4th Jan","4th Jan","5th Jan");

Should still work the same.

Actually, I found out how a few days ago:

$date = null;
while($topic = $result->getRow())
{
	if(date('m d, Y', $date) != date('m d, Y', $topic['date'])){
		echo '<div><h3>' . date('m d, Y', $topic['date']) . '</h3></div>';
		$date = $topic['date'];
	}
	echo '<div>' . $topic['title'] . '( ' . date('m d, Y', $topic['date']) . ' )</div>';
}

Works exactly how I wanted it to. Thanks for all the help! 🙂
