RE: [PHP-DB] reading arrays within a field from mysql and separat ing the values

the explode() should have worked on that. Something like: $query = "SELECT DCD_Access FROM userdb WHERE ID = $user_ID"; $result4 = mysql_query($query) or die("Error"); $DCD = mysql_fetch_array($result4); $myarray = explode( ",", $DCD['DCD_Access'] ); foreach ( $myarray as $val ) { print "<option value='$val'>$val</option>\n"; } -----Original Message----- From: Robert Trembath [mailto:robert@bacbarcodes.com] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 4:45 PM To: Rick Emery Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] reading arrays within a field from mysql and separating the values NASA, BBCI I want to separate these but I either get what I show above as a single value or the word "Array" depending on how I try to get to the values. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Emery" <remery@excel.com> Newsgroups: php.db To: <php-db@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 4:27 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] reading arrays within a field from mysql and separating the values > Robert, > > Do a manual "SELECT DCD_Access FROM userdb WHERE ID = ### " > and send the results.
