I'm trying to use a hash to translate a value into something human readable. I know how to do
this with an if-else but that seems like a waste of typing.
I have a bunch of items in the db and their values are abbreciations such as 'm_r'. I want
m_r to show on the page as "Mens Rings". I was trying to do it like this but echo $item
returned "Array":
<?php
#query db and get a result snipped
$item = $row[item];
$item = array('Mens Ring' => m_r, 'Mens Charm' => m_c, 'Womens
Ring' => w_r,'Womens Charm' => w_c);
echo $item;
?>
Any help would be appreciated.
thnx,
robert
