Req #52352 [NEW]: SQL Like Requests For Arrays

From: Operating system: Irrelevant PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *Database Functions Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:SQL Like Requests For Arrays Description: ------------ It seems to me that it would make sense to at least apply the basic features of the SQL ANSI standard to php arrays that are NOT derived from another database. To start with, it could support most of the features found within SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE at least from a single table. Support could be added later for joins and other complex SQL commands. Mimic the mysql commands in php. Suppose an array exists called $array. $qry = php_query("SELECT * FROM $array where name = "Bill"); php_fetch_array($qry); I believe such a feature would add to the overall ease of use of php, especially for newer programmers and people coming from other languages that are already familiar with SQL commands. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52352&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=52352&r=mysqlcfg
