JOIN mysql php function instead foreach loop

Question

I need to passing trought 09.03.2014 and 12.03.2014 in my mysql database activity:

 SELECT * FROM activity;

 ID timestamp_day name        details
  1 1394319600    Meeting     Meeting with Ann about job
  2 1394406000    Travel      Go to New York
  3 1394492400    Work        Do some work...
  4 1394578800    Vacation    Prepare all necessary stuff
  5 1394319600    Car repair  Go to store to buy new parts for car

What I need to get is a JSON data to create datatable.net Table like this:

  Datum     | Name
  ----------+-----
  Sunday    |
  09/03     |
  ----------+-----
  Monday    |
  10/03     |
  ----------+----- 
  Tuesday   |
  11/03     |
  ----------+-----
  Wednesday |
  12/03     |
  ----------+-----

What I try to do:

PHP:

$dateString = '09.03.2014';
$startDate = new DateTime($dateString);

$period = new DateInterval('P1M');
$endDate = clone $startDate;
$endDate->add($period);

$interval = new DateInterval('P1D');
$daterange = new DatePeriod($startDate, $interval ,$endDate);
$i=1;
foreach($daterange as $date){
    $temp = array();
    // the following line will be used to slice the Pie chart
    $temp['ID'] = $i;
    $dejt = $date->format("l") . PHP_EOL;
    $temp['datum'] = '<strong>'.$dejt.'</strong></br>'.$date->format("d/m") . PHP_EOL;


        $rs1 = $db->prepare('SELECT name FROM activity WHERE timestamp=:ts');
        $rs1->bindParam(':ts', $timestamp); 
        $rs1->execute();
        $naz = $rs1->fetchColumn();
                      if ($naz != false) {
              $temp['name'] =  $naz;
                      } else {
                         $temp['vrsta'] =  '';
                      }


        $output['data'][] = $temp;
        $i++;
        $jsonTable = json_encode($output);
}

    } catch(PDOException $e) {
        echo 'ERROR: ' . $e->getMessage();
    }
    echo $jsonTable;

and JQuery:

$('#example').dataTable( {
        "ajax": "table1.php",
        "columns": [
            { "data": "ID" },
            { "data": "datum" },
            { "data": "name" },

        ], etc.

My code work fine but I hit database with queries many times also when is there same timestamp_day values then I get just first...

So you see that I hit mysql database with quesry for each date. I want to create other way to do that? How this will looks like with JOIN mysql functions and so... ? Also here you can see that I have ID 1 and ID 5 with same timestamp so names of this rows I need to put in one cell and create separate HTML for this data.

Not familiar with datatable.net, I'll just show you an option to fetch your results with one database call. Make adjustments where necessary.

$rs1 = $db->prepare('SELECT * FROM activity;');    
$rs1->execute();
$rows = $rs1->fetchAll();
$daterange = new DatePeriod($startDate, $interval ,$endDate);
$activities = array();
if (count($rows) > 0)
{
    foreach ($rows as $row)
    {
        $activities[$row['timestamp_day']][] = $row['name'];
    }
    foreach($daterange as $date)
    {
        $formattedData = $data  //format your date to timestamp here
        if (!array_key_exists($formattedDate, $activities))
        {
             $activities[$formattedDate] = array();
        }
    }
}

Gives you an array with the following format:

$activities = array(
    [1394319600] => array('Meeting', 'Car repair') 
    [1394406000] => array('Travel') 
    [1394492400] => array('Work') 
    [1394578800] => array('Vacation') 
)
