Help with the query please?
<?php
// load record from 'products'
list($productsRecords, $productsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '1',
));
$productsRecord = @$productsRecords[0]; // get first record
if (!$productsRecord) { dieWith404("Record not found!"); } // show error message if no record found
$listed=$productsRecord['you_might_also_like'];
//This is a tab separated array of related products using the num as value.
//I want to search the product table to list only those with the num that matches the num from $listed.
//related products
list($relatedProductsRecords, $relatedProductsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'loadUploads' => true,
'where' => ?,
'allowSearch' => false,
'debugSql' => true, // optional, display SQL query, defaults to no
));
//Then on the page I want to display each one...
?>
<?php foreach ($relatedProductsRecords as $record): ?>
<h3><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></h3>
<?php endforeach ?>

OK,
I think I sussed out a solution....
rather than do the filter at sql level, I have done it on the results, here is how I have achieved this, not sure how efficient it is though.
<?php
// load record from 'products'
list($productsRecords, $productsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '1',
));
$productsRecord = @$productsRecords[0]; // get first record
if (!$productsRecord) { dieWith404("Record not found!"); } // show error message if no record found
//related products
list($relatedProductsRecords, $relatedProductsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
));
?>
<?php $listed=$productsRecord['you_might_also_like']; //tab delimited array of num ?>
<?php $theRecords= explode("\t",$listed); //explode the array on tab ?>
Then pull out only the matching ones from the query of the records.
<?php foreach ($relatedProductsRecords as $record): ?>
<?php foreach ($theRecords as $item): ?>
<?php $itemTrim=trim($item); ?>
<?php if ($itemTrim==$record['num']):?>
<a class="item" href="<?php echo $record['_link'] ?>">
<?php foreach ($record['image_gallery'] as $index => $upload): ?>
<?php if ($index >= 1) { continue; } // limit uploads shown ?>
<img alt="<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>" title="<?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?>" src="<?php echo $upload['thumbUrlPath2']; ?>"/>
<?php endforeach ?>
<h3><?php echo htmlencode($record['title']) ?></h3>
</a>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

Hey Zaba,
It's great you found a solution, here is another method you could get the linked record nums:
<?php
// load record from 'products'
list($productsRecords, $productsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(0),
'loadUploads' => true,
'allowSearch' => false,
'limit' => '1',
));
$productsRecord = @$productsRecords[0]; // get first record
if (!$productsRecord) { dieWith404("Record not found!"); } // show error message if no record found
//Convert the 'you might also like' num values into an array.
$youMightLikeNums = explode("\t", trim($productsRecord['you_might_also_like'],"\t"));
//If the product has linked you might also like products..
if ($youMightLikeNums) {
//Escape the values into a comma seperated string.
$youMightLikeNums = mysql_escapeCSV($youMightLikeNums);
//Pull the records with linked nums.
list($relatedProductsRecords, $relatedProductsMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'products',
'loadUploads' => true,
'where' => "`num` IN($youMightLikeNums)",
'allowSearch' => false,
'debugSql' => true, // optional, display SQL query, defaults to no
));
}
This is sample code, so you might have to make a few changes to get it working.
The advantage of this method is that you're only loading the records from the database that are being used for related products.
