Hello all,
I have a problem / issue whereby i am not sure how to get my select statement to show me what i know it should be and
am hoping someone can tell me how to change this to be correct ?
say i have 2 recipes (shortbread and scones)
shortbread has these ingredients =
250g butter
140gm icing sugar
300gm plain flour
75gm cornflour
5ml vanilla extract
and scones has these =
450gm self-raising flour
80g butter
250ml milk
and i want to get ingredients for 2 lots of shortbread and 1 lot of scones,
in my db i have all of the ingredients (as well a categories of food like 'cold storage',
'herbs / spices' and 'Long Life - Sugar / Baking'
and from the db i want to create a shopping list that itemises the ingreients and the
quantities into categories so i would be expecting something along the lines of
Cold Storage 580 Gram Butter
500 Millilitre Milk
Herbs / Spices 10 Millilitre Vanilla extract
Long Life - Sugar / Baking 150 Gram Flour - cornflour
600 Gram Flour - plain
450 Gram Flour - self-raising
280 Gram Icing sugar
however, what's actually returning is
69 occurred 2 times! 68 occurred 1 times!
Cold Storage 250 + 80 Gram Butter it's not adding here either but the sum give an error in codeigniter that i'll try to fix later
250 Millilitre Milk
Herbs / Spices 5 Millilitre Vanilla extract
Long Life - Sugar / Baking 75 Gram Flour - cornflour
300 Gram Flour - plain
450 Gram Flour - self-raising
140 Gram Icing sugar
so the 'select' is only seeing 2 recipes ie. it's not seeing that one recipe is chosen
twice (shortbread) and the other recipe (scones) is only chosen once
i have to put CI code in another post as it wont fit here, sorry
