Trying to build a recordset for photos and use a form input for the photos upload and a text field to add a photo category for all the photos uploaded under that category

Have a table with the columns being photos_ID, photos_image, photos_caption, photos_description, photos_era and photos_ok.
Have a form that a user inputs his photo or photos and a description of the event where the photos were taken, i.e. Cookout, Birthday Party, Trip to the beach etc. In the recordset i use where photos_ok ='yes' so the photos don't show until approved.
On the page to display the photos, i want the photos_description to be a heading and all the photos with that photos_description to show under the heading as a repeat region.
Not sure how to write the recordset in order to accomplish this?

I don't really understand where you are getting stuck.

I think you could use two nested repeat regions and move the reocrdset that returns the photos inside the recordset that shows the heading and filter it.

Your first recordset would be SELECT DISTINCT photos_description

Then apply a repeat region to display the descriptions. Add a photos recordset inside that repeat region and filter the photos returned by the description field to show all the images with that description. You can apply the repeat region for the photos under the description header.

Thanks Ray.
I am stuck on filtering the second recordset. Not sure how to write the SELECT photos when photos_description is the same? I know it should be simple.

the first recordset

<?php
$rs_photos1 = new WA_MySQLi_RS("rs_photos1",$connstake,0);
$rs_photos1->setQuery("SELECT DISTINCT photos.photos_description FROM photos ");
$rs_photos1->execute();
?>

The second recordset (copy and paste into the repeat region of the first)

<?php

$rs_photos2 = new WA_MySQLi_RS("rs_photos2",$connstake,0);

$rs_photos2>setQuery("SELECT * FROM photos WHERE photos_description = ?");

$rs_photos2->bindParam("s", "".($rs_photos1->getColumnVal("photos_description"))  ."", "-1"); //currentCategory

$rs_photos2->execute();

?>

Thanks Ray.
I had the second recordset written correctly; i didn't have it positioned inside the repeat region for the first recordset.

Tip coming your way....
