thank you all!!

There are many possible ways, it depends on how you're storing this data. Give us some more information. Also, wouldn't the last inserted row by #6 ?

1. not very much clear abt asking.
2. we could get just inserted using

after executing insert statement call
$last_inserted_id = mysql_insert_id();

or explain specific in details

replay

before

count | username | bid-amount
1 user0 55
2 user2 49
3 user2 48
4 user4 46

after

count | username | bid-amount
1 user0 55
2 user2 49
3 user2 48
4 user4 47 <--- last inserted
5 user4 46


bid amount going with order by bid_amount DESC ,so amount 47 was last inserted ,the amount 46 count was 4 ,and after the insert of amount 47 ,amount 46 go down to 5 count!!

im displaying to the user in what place is bid amount are!! ,and this is what im trying to get.

thanks for your replay :)

i hope you got me better now.

Option A
1. i dont think it a good idea to update table data for every insert.
2. it is easier to get the details for particular bit (would be a bit)

table bit
---------------------
| bit_id| details
---------------------
|1001 | car
|1002 | gold
--------------------
 
add a fild bit_id in your described table

3. when you wanna display current biting status for a particular bit_id, get the query of

ORDER BY `bid-amount` DESC

option B
4. otherwise you have to check the data in bid-amount for a bit_id(that you doent have) and rearrange with updates.

5. i would prefer option A

Again, you haven't explained how you're storing the data.

But, the last inserted is going to be (providing there was only one insert) array_length - 2.

[canabatz]

you didnt understand me

the count is running and doing the count dynamic ,no change in the database

only the id is changing in the database the id is on auto increment.
when im displaying the results it is going with bid_amount desc ,so the highst bid_amount is allways at the top!!

now if second user place a bid and it is not in the top(the bid amount is less then the first user, then the count is just displaying in what line he his!!

all i need is to show the user in what position he his ,like:

echo hello $username ."you are in $position position";

i hope this time you get what i need!!

thanks

i think your problem will be solved using simply

ORDER BY `bid_amount` DESC

[prabirchoudhury]

1. insert a new bid . (without count) [but no duplicate bit-amount.]

2. select latest details

$sql= "select * from table ORDER BY bit-amount DESC";
$csr = mysql_query($sql);
$count = 1;
while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($csr)){

update count with $count where id = '".$row[id]."' ";

$count++
}

then it would update the current bit status


:)

[canabatz]

all i need is the row number!

i got a table returning all the data from the database ,one row showing the bid_amount!!


all i want is to tell the user in what position he his!

the table have a dynamic count with count++ !!


all i want is to tell the user the row number he is!! thats it!!

i cannot get that!
thank you!

before

count | username | bid-amount
1 user0 55
2 user2 49
3 user2 48
4 user4 46

after

count | username | bid-amount
1 user0 55
2 user2 49
3 user2 48
4 user4 47 <--- last inserted
5 user4 46

the title of this post is misleading. you're not looking for the last inserted id but rather the current rank of a user who placed a bid.

what i would do is make a query that sorts the users by bid amount, retrieve the results using mysql_fetch_ass oc and then loop thru the results.

something like

$target_username = "user4"; //username we need to match
$username_matched = false; //we have not matched a username yet
$q = "SELECT * FROM `bid-history` ORDER BY `bid-amount` ASC";
$r = mysql_query($r);
$count = 1; //set current
while($w = mysql_fetch_assoc($r) && !$username_matched){
  if($w['username']==$target_username ){
   $username_matched=true;
   $user_position = $count;
   $user_bidamount = $w['bid-amount'];
  }
 $count++;


}
echo "User \"$target_username\" is number $user_position in line with a bid amount of $$user_bidamount";
   //output: User "user4" is number 4 in line with a bid amount of $47

[canabatz]

this is exactly what i need

where does it get the last bid_amount from?

there is bids from the same user again and again!!

your code is exactly what i need but need some fixes to fit!!

thank you!!!

[n8kindt]

if you look, i set it up so that the while loop only runs when $username_match ed equals false. when the user is matched the variable is set to true thus killing the loop

[canabatz]

is it possible to do like that?

$q = "SELECT * FROM `bidding_details` where bid_id=$bid_id ORDER BY id desc limit 1";

i want to limit the SELECT to find only the id of the last inserted id!

now i want to start count++ and see if the $username match the highest ID,

if there is a match between the $username and the Highst ID then display
the $count!!

thanx!

hi

this code is working for me ,but i want it to display only the last inserted row ,position ,now i can display all the rows and the position ,but i need to show the user only his last bid position ,please help me figure this one out!!

$q = "(SELECT * FROM `bidding_details` where bid_id=$bid_id and sortbid = '1' order by bid_price desc) union all (SELECT * FROM `bidding_details` where bid_id=$bid_id and sortbid = '0' order by bid_price desc) order by sortbid desc, bid_price desc";
$result=mysql_query($q) or die('Failed selecting applications: ' . mysql_error());
$num1=mysql_num_rows($result);
$rown = 0; 
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) 
{ 
    $rown++; 
    echo $row['bid_price']. ' is pos: ' . $rown . '.<br>'; 
	
}

thank you
