Thanks for the assistance and I think I see where this is going but I can't
seem to get past the part where you are attempting to group the newly
created array as seen below
$group = array();
foreach ($records as $record)
{
$group[$record['PUBLISHER'][] = $record;
}
I keep getting the following output in my browser when attempting this.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting ']' in
/usr/local/www/sweep/results/tables.php on line 43
