Display Data Per Week in PHP and MySQL

When working with data in databases, especially for applications that rely on time intervals like sales tracking or analytics, it is essential to display data in a user-friendly way. One common requirement is to display data per week rather than just monthly summaries. In this guide, we will explore how to structure your database query and handle the output to effectively summarize data by week.

The Challenge

Imagine you have the following sample data from a user, where each entry consists of an id, quantity, and a date:

Your goal is to display this data grouped by weeks, which can appear something like this:

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this, we will break the process down into clear, organized sections. This involves crafting the right SQL query and then formatting the output correctly in PHP.

Step 1: SQL Query

To display the data per week, you’ll want to modify your query to include a calculated column for the week. You can use the WEEK() function in MySQL, which allows you to group your data by the week of the year. Here’s an example of what your SQL query might look like:

In this query:

We select quantity and date and create a new column called week_number that combines the year and week number.

We also ensure the results are ordered by date to help with proper grouping later.

Step 2: Processing the Output

Once you have the data, you'll want to organize it by week in your PHP code. Here’s a simplified version of how you might iterate through the result set and format the output.

Step 3: Formatting the Display

To enhance the readability of your output, consider formatting the weeks more elegantly. Here’s how you can transform the week_number to a more readable format:

Extract the year and week from the week_number:

You can split the string by / to get the year and week separately.

Use the DateTime class or calculate the date ranges for that week to display the start and end dates clearly.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can effectively display user data per week using PHP and MySQL. This organizational structure not only enhances the user experience but also provides more meaningful insights. Whether you are building a reporting tool or an analytics dashboard, implementing this grouped data structure will surely improve how users interact with their data.

Remember to test your queries and format your output to ensure everything is displayed correctly. Happy coding!
