The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Requesting ID's from database and print results

Asked by catonthecouchproductions in PHP and Databases, PHP Scripting Language

Tags: print, results

I have this page - http://newspapersofamerica.com/new/?p=specialty - and I have been trying to work with this most of the morning and am stumped. I know how to do both of the methods separate but am confused how to put both together.

On that page you will select a state, then it will show all of the of the papers that belong to that state.
I want to add one more step. I have the a table called PAPER_CATEGORIES and I want to be able to select ALL papers from category X, then states, then all papers from that state and category.

http://newspapersofamerica.com/new/?p=specialty - go to the "Specialty" and on mouse over are the categories. So the link will be something like say:

index.php?p=specialty&cat=3 on that page will show the states then click that will show all states with papers belonging to CAT 3.

Would I use:

if($_REQUEST["id"]){

For the request part. My code is below for my specialty page.

This has been bugging me! Thanks so much. I will post any changes i have. I am going to try to figure it out.
