Re: setting index of array as 1

actually, I just decide to redo DB architecture and not use serialize-ed info to store in DB. to much troubles with it. thanks brian. -afan Brian wrote:

You should just make everything else start with a standard 0, if it's something you output to the users, just do a +1 on it. On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 14:35:19 -0500, Afan Pasalic <afan@afan.net> wrote:

Because elements of the new array are actually numbers that depend on index. working on survey and values of offered answers are actually numbers Question - <input type=radio value=1> offered answer no 1 - <input type=radio value=2> offered answer no 2 - <input type=radio value=3> offered answer no 3 - <input type=radio value=4> offered answer no 4 Qs ans As are pulled from database and I chosen values start with 1 to be less confused (value=0 for answer=1, values=1 for answer=2, ...) And result, which is an array because I set up names of radio buttons that way, (after submitting) I stored in database using serialize functions. I have to show some statistics and answers, stored in DB, after unserialize() start with 0. And then was conflict when I pull Qs and As from DB, they start with 1s and Results, that start with 0 Hm, pretty complicated, ha? :) Now, I have a feeling I didn't go correct way. Because, calculating stats from serialize stored results are pain in the neck :) -afan Brian wrote:

Why do you want your array to start with 1 so badly? On Mon, 18 Oct 2004 13:33:22 -0500, Afan Pasalic <afan@afan.net> wrote:

It's not what I was looking for. Looks like I didn't explain very well :) look at this case: $query = mysql_query("select name from names order by date desc"); while($result = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { $all_names[] = $result['name']; } in this case the array $all_names starts with index 0. I can't put $all_names[1] = $result['name']; because every next entry will get index 1 and overwrite old one and on the end I'll have an array of just one element :) -afan Matthew Sims wrote:

when create an array using: $new_array[] = 'something'; first index of new array is 0 how can I though set that first index is 1 - except "reorganize" array after is created? thanks -afan

$new_array = array(1 => 'first','second','third'); echo $new_array[1]; <--- Will echo first
