first what is block? variable? you can try removing the quotes too since it is numeric
maybe something like this:

Sorry, here is what I have so far, to help elaborate Of course, I am fairly new to this stuff. So, here is where I am.....I want the $var1,2,3,4,5 results to show up in the "echo $row['rank'];" section. Thanks again.


$query = "SELECT firstname, lastname, pilotid1, pilotid2, COUNT(flight_time) AS flights, SUM(block_time) AS block, SUM(flight_time) AS ftime, MAX(date_of_flight) AS date FROM members, pireps WHERE members.pilotid1 = pireps.pilotid2 GROUP BY pilotid1 ORDER BY flights DESC, block DESC, ftime DESC, date DESC";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr> <th>First</th> <th>Last</th> <th>Pilot ID</th> <th>Flights</th> <th>Block Time</th> <th>Flight Time</th> <th>Rank</th> <th>Currently In</th> <th>Last Flight</th></tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

echo "<tr><td align=left>";
echo $row['firstname'];
echo "</td><td align=left>";
echo $row['lastname'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['pilotid1'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['flights'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo sprintf( "%4.1f", $row['block'] );
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo sprintf( "%4.1f", $row['ftime'] );
echo "</td><td align=center>";

$var1 = '<img src="pics/rankings/jfo.gif">';
$var2 = '<img src="pics/rankings/fo.gif">';
$var3 = '<img src="pics/rankings/sfo.gif">';
$var4 = '<img src="pics/rankings/c.gif">';
$var5 = '<img src="pics/rankings/sc.gif">';

if(block > ("0")){
echo $var1;
} elseif(block > ("99.9")){
echo $var2;
} elseif(block > ("399.9")){
echo $var3;
} elseif(block > ("799.9")){
echo $var4;
} elseif(block > ("1299.9")){
echo $var5;
}else {
echo "in progress";
}

echo $row['rank'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['arr_airport'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['date'];
echo "</td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";
?>

ok so block is a field from the db. you need to have that included in your if statement.
if im understanding correctly this should work

if($row['block']>1299.9){
echo $var4;
}elseif($row['block']>799.9){
echo $var3;
}elseif($row['block']>399.9){
echo $var2;
}elseif($row['block']>99.9){
echo $var1;
}elseif($row['block']>0){
echo $var5;
}


Ok, perfect, thanks. Now the above code works great. I want to add another variable in the elseif statement referencing another table in the database. Can I do that somehow in the same line? ie. }elseif($row['block']>99.9['flights']>319){ Now, that did not work for me, but can this be done something like that? Thanks.

sure you can add it.

Ok got it!!!!! I can't thank you enough ProfessorPC. I have struggled with that one for awhile now. Sometimes reading too much can just confuse a person more Thanks again!!!!!

get somebody outside of the project helps alot. your welcome

One last thing.....The code I have is:

$query = "SELECT firstname, lastname, pilotid1, pilotid2, COUNT(flight_time) AS flights, SUM(block_time) AS block, SUM(flight_time) AS ftime, arr_airport, MAX(date_of_flight) AS date FROM members, pireps WHERE members.pilotid1 = pireps.pilotid2 GROUP BY pilotid1 ORDER BY flights DESC, block DESC, ftime DESC, arr_airport, date DESC";

$result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error());

echo "<table border='1'>";
echo "<tr> <th>First</th> <th>Last</th> <th>Pilot ID</th> <th>Flights</th> <th>Block Time</th> <th>Flight Time</th> <th>Rank</th> <th>Currently In</th> <th>Last Flight</th></tr>";

while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) {

echo "<tr><td align=left>";
echo $row['firstname'];
echo "</td><td align=left>";
echo $row['lastname'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['pilotid1'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['flights'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo sprintf( "%4.1f", $row['block'] );
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo sprintf( "%4.1f", $row['ftime'] );
echo "</td><td align=center>";

$var1 = '<img src="pics/rankings/fo.gif">';
$var2 = '<img src="pics/rankings/sfo.gif">';
$var3 = '<img src="pics/rankings/c.gif">';
$var4 = '<img src="pics/rankings/sc.gif">';
$var5 = '<img src="pics/rankings/jfo.gif">';

if($row['block']>1299.9 && $row['flights']>519){
echo $var4;
}elseif($row['block']>799.9 && $row['flights']>319){
echo $var3;
}elseif($row['block']>399.9 && $row['flights']>159){
echo $var2;
}elseif($row['block']>99.9 && $row['flights']>39){
echo $var1;
}elseif($row['block']>0){
echo $var5;
}

echo $row['rank'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['arr_airport'];
echo "</td><td align=center>";
echo $row['date'];
echo "</td></tr>";

}

echo "</table>";
?>

How on earth can I get the last entry for 'arr_airport'? I have tried several things, but I can not get it to organize that column for output into the table by it's last entry. So DESC or ASC don't work, it just does it alphabetically. But I need the last item entered only for that field. I can't figure it out, even though it should be simple.

hm... you already have it grouped by then orderby other fields. this field is associated to one of the other fields previously order by correct? guess i am a little confused by the structure.
maybe if you could give me an idea of the data table setup it might help.
