Bug #10861 Updated: Array bug w/MySQL

ID: 10861 Updated by: cmv Reported By: czaries@hotmail.com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Arrays related Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.5 Assigned To: Comments: You can't "print" an array in PHP. You either need to loop through the array and print each element, or use something like print_r() or var_dump() to see the contents of the array. I bet this will work for you: $board_r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mb_boards WHERE BoardID='$BoardID'", $link); $board = mysql_fetch_row ($board_r); $userarr = array($board[9]); print_r($userarr); // this, or ... echo $userarr[0]; // this. - Colin Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-14 17:06:22] derick@php.net user error: change this line: $userarr = array($board[9]); to: $userarr = $board[9]; and mysql_fetch_row gives one row per call derick --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-05-14 16:59:21] czaries@hotmail.com When trying to put a value from a database into an array for checking, it jsut won't do it... Like this: $board_r = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mb_boards WHERE BoardID='$BoardID'", $link); $board = mysql_fetch_row ($board_r); $userarr = array($board[9]); When I try to call $userarr at a later date, all it prints is: "Array" - and it doesn't put the contents of that veriable into the array, even though the contents of the cell are separated with commas and all the proper stuff needed for an array!
