Ouch...
well, assuming you have two columns: day_id and value, here's a possible
solution:
$rs = mysql_query ('select day_id, value from my_table order by
day_id');
$a = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rs);
do
{
$i = 1;
$control = $a['value'];
while (($a = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rs)) && $a['value'] == $control)
$i++;
echo '<td colspan=' . $i . '>' . $control . '</td>';
} while ($a);
This is a bit rough and can probably be optimized quite a bit, plus I
can't test it, so I'm not sure that it will work the first time.
Hopefully, it gives you an idea of how it could be done.
If I could make a suggestion without knowing how your system works, I
think you should revisit your database design a little.
Hope this helps,
Marco
