I have a website like ebay with bids, I want to make a notifications mail for users who got outbidded
For example
- user 1 has a bid 11$
- user 2 has a bid 10$
I have a table for bids:
id auction bidder bid bidwhen quantity auto_bid
-- ------- ------ ------- -------------- -------- ----------
1 150028 2 10.0000 20130719121024 0 0
2 150028 1 11.0000 20130809122605 0 0
3 150028 3 12.0000 20130809122605 0 0
and another table where I insert a winners like winner=3 with =12
id auction seller winner bid closingdate fee quantity
-- ------- ------ ------ ------ -------------- ------ ----------
1 150028 1 3 12 20130809122658 1 1
If in our case id=3 is winner I need notificate id=2 that he is outbid and lost
I start with selecting winner and join bidders table but I can't figure out how to continue.
At the end I need get last ID before Winners ID in our case bidder 1 cuz he bid last before winner
