i am trying to run an SQL Query to select all rows from a table and then display the column with the lowest value for each row.
for example, lets start with row1...
columns1, column2, column3, column4
the lowest value for this row is in column3 so i need to echo the column3 value then on row2, column4 has the lowest value so column4 should be displayed for this row.
i did try this code:
$sql="SELECT * from callplanmeta ";
$rs=mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
while($result=mysql_fetch_array($rs))
{
$sql2="SELECT *, MIN(NULLIF(".$result["callplanname"].",0)) as number2 from callplandata ";
echo $sql2;
$rs2=mysql_query($sql2,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
while($result2=mysql_fetch_array($rs2))
{
echo $result2["description"].' - '.number_format($result2["number2"],2).'<br><br>';
}
}
however i then realised that it was doing it the wrong way round and only showing the lowest value for 1 row
the column names in the callplandata table match the column callplanname in the callplanmeta table
the columns in the callplandata table are dynamic so they are changing all the time and more are constantly being added
