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!

Recordset Sort Problem

Asked by golena in PHP and Databases, JScript

Tags: mysql, javascript, sort

Hi.  I am trying to sort a recordset.  I had a friend work on some javascript and while I think we've made some progress it still isn't working.  I am trying to sort by price - ASC or DESC or discount - ASC or DESC.  I would like to keep all the options in one drop down box due to space constraints on my page.  Please note that the recordset query was created by Dreamweaver and there is a repeat-region at work here as well.

Notice that I am getting the Order By variables in the recordset (order and sort) but not even sure if I need this.

The form action needs to maintain the original variable parameters of category and subcategory (this works) and then apply the sort (this is not working).

I only included the code that I think is applicable - please let me know if you need more information.   Thank you for your help; this newbie has been working at this for over a week now and any help is greatly appreciated.

The Recordset Query:
 
mysql_select_db($database_golena_IDBdb, $golena_IDBdb);
$query_rsProductsDiscount = sprintf("SELECT ((IDBdb.retail_price-IDBdb.price)/IDBdb.retail_price) AS discount, IDBdb.name, IDBdb.shortDescription, IDBdb.merchant_display, IDBdb.retail_price, IDBdb.price, IDBdb.url, IDBdb.thumbnail, IDBdb.productID, IDBdb.category, IDBdb.category_display, IDBdb.subcategory, IDBdb.subcategory_display, IDBdb.merchant FROM IDBdb WHERE (((IDBdb.subcategory)='%s')) ORDER BY %s %s", $colname2_rsProductsDiscount,$orderby_rsProductsDiscount,$sortby_rsProductsDiscount);
$query_limit_rsProductsDiscount = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_rsProductsDiscount, $startRow_rsProductsDiscount, $maxRows_rsProductsDiscount);
$rsProductsDiscount = mysql_query($query_limit_rsProductsDiscount, $golena_IDBdb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsProductsDiscount = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsProductsDiscount);
 
if (isset($_GET['totalRows_rsProductsDiscount'])) {
  $totalRows_rsProductsDiscount = $_GET['totalRows_rsProductsDiscount'];
} else {
  $all_rsProductsDiscount = mysql_query($query_rsProductsDiscount);
  $totalRows_rsProductsDiscount = mysql_num_rows($all_rsProductsDiscount);
}
$totalPages_rsProductsDiscount = ceil($totalRows_rsProductsDiscount/$maxRows_rsProductsDiscount)-1;
 
The Form:
