Re: Check for Associative Array

>What's the best way to check for an Associative Array? There is no >is_assoc() or similiar function listed in the manual (I don't think anyway). All arrays are associative, really. Just some happen to have integers as their keys in the association. >I'm using mysql_fetch_array() and I want to foreach only the assoc. part of >the array without using mysql_fetch_assoc(): So use that extra argument to mysql_fetch_array and tell it you only want the MYSQL_ASSOC ones, not MYSQL_BOTH. http://php.net/mysql_fetch_array >foreach ($arr as $key=>$value) { > echo "$key:$value"; >} > >But of course it show both the indexed array and the assoc array contents. >Is there an existing function to check this, or should I do one of these >things inside the foreach loop: > >A) set $last=value and just check if $value = $lastval > >B) check if the $key is just a number or just a string > >C) $key += 1 It's wrong, but if you want to do it that way, you could use: http://php.net/next maybe. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
