I want to create an array from results returned from a mysql query. I want it to go through each row in the returned result, and if the variable in the array staff exists add 1 to the total, if it doesnt exist, set it as one and carry on. But when i run this and do var_dump, it just returns "1" in the array for every date. I don't think my logic for this is correct, please help. Cheers, Dave. ========== $query = "SELECT * FROM Rota WHERE date >= $start and date <= ($start + INTERVAL 6 DAY) "; $result = mysql_query($query); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $x = 1; $date = $row['Date']; if ( isset($staff[$date] ) ){ $staff[$date] = $staff[$date] + $x ; } else{ $staff[$date] = $x ; } } _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.
