Newbie question - trying to graph MSColumn3D.swf from MySQL data

Recommended Posts

Boy have I stayed up late trying to figure this one out. I hope someone can help me because I was getting meaner by the hour for anyone who approached me. Here's what I'm trying to do...

I have a database query of clients, remaining licenses, used licenses and enrolled. When I try to format the XML data I can't seem to group them correctly. I believe it is because of my lack of knowledge on php mysql arrays. I'm a quick learner though. Here is what the correct XML output should look like:

<chart caption="[b]License Usage Report[/b]" subcaption="[b]by Client[/b]" palette="[b]1[/b]"> <categories>  <category label="[b]Clients1[/b]" />   <category label="[b]Client2[/b]" />   <category label="[b]Client3[/b]" />   </categories><dataset SeriesName="[b]Licenses Remaining[/b]">  <set value="[b][/b]" />   <set value="[b]129[/b]" />   <set value="[b]72[/b]" />   </dataset><dataset SeriesName="[b]Used Licenses[/b]">  <set value="[b][/b]" />   <set value="[b]283[/b]" />   <set value="[b]0[/b]" />   </dataset><dataset SeriesName="[b]Students Enrolled[/b]">  <set value="[b][/b]" />   <set value="[b]120[/b]" />   <set value="[b]0[/b]" />   </dataset>  </chart>

OK, well I figured out how to do it dirty. I'm wondering if someone can help me clean this code up a bit?

<?php 
header("Content-type: text/xml" ); 
$host = "localhost"; 
$user = "root"; 
$pass = "password" ; 
$database = "database"; 
$linkID = mysql_connect($host, $user , $pass) or die("Could not connect to host."); 
mysql_select_db ($database, $linkID) or die("Could not find database." ); 
$query = "SELECT accounts.name AS "Client", accounts_cstm.remaininglicenses_c AS "RemainingLicenses", accounts_cstm.usedlicenses_c AS "UsedLicenses", accounts_cstm.studentsenrolled_c AS "StudentsEnrolled" 
FROM accounts_cstm INNER JOIN accounts ON accounts_cstm.id_c = accounts.id
WHERE (((accounts_cstm.remaininglicenses_c)>"0") AND ((accounts.deleted)=0));"; 
$resultID = mysql_query($query, $linkID) or die("Data not found."); 
$xml_output = "<chart caption="License Usage Report" subcaption="by Client" palette="1">"; 
$xml_output .= "t<categories>"; 
for($x = 0 ; $x < mysql_num_rows($resultID) ; $x++){ 
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultID); 
$xml_output .= "tt<category label="" . $row['Client'] . "" />"; 
}
$xml_output .= "t</categories>"; 
//GET LICENSES REMAINING
$query = "SELECT accounts.name AS "Client", accounts_cstm.remaininglicenses_c AS "RemainingLicenses", accounts_cstm.usedlicenses_c AS "UsedLicenses", accounts_cstm.studentsenrolled_c AS "StudentsEnrolled"

$resultID2 = mysql_query($query, $linkID) or die("Data not found."); 
$xml_output .= "t<dataset SeriesName="Licenses Remaining">"; 
for($y = 0 ; $y < mysql_num_rows($resultID2) ; $y++){ 
$rowy = mysql_fetch_assoc($resultID2); 
$xml_output .= "tt<set value="" . $rowy['RemainingLicenses'] . "" />"; 
}
$xml_output .= "t</dataset>"; 
//GET USED LICENSES
$query = "SELECT accounts.name AS "Client", accounts_cstm.remaininglicenses_c AS "RemainingLicenses", accounts_cstm.usedlicenses_c AS "UsedLicenses", accounts_cstm.studentsenrolled_c AS "StudentsEnrolled"

}
$xml_output .= "t</dataset>"; 
//GET STUDENTS ENROLLED
$query = "SELECT accounts.name AS "Client", accounts_cstm.remaininglicenses_c AS "RemainingLicenses", accounts_cstm.usedlicenses_c AS "UsedLicenses", accounts_cstm.studentsenrolled_c AS "StudentsEnrolled"

$resultID2 = mysql_query($query, $linkID) or die("Data not found.");

echo $xml_output; 
?>
