Re: Array name out of field value with data

Jonas Rosling a écrit :

Not so sure if I've tried to work this out before in this list. I'm trying to make an array name by a field/row value and assigning values to it. But I'm having some problems getting it to work. Is it possible to do this? And if, what am I doing wrong? Or is there any other way to do it? while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)) { // Checking if variable/array is not declared if (!$$row[0]) { what do you want to check with the code above ?

I don't think $$row[0] will give you anything good. as you're inside your while loop, $row should be declared, but the content of $row[0] depends on your request. you can check if $row[0] is set using "count $row"; but if you have an empty value in the first column, this will give you an empty string as result. try a print_r($row); after your "while".

// Declaring an empty array by the value of sales person code $$row[0] = array(); I still don't understand why you're using $$row above.

// Current sales person code $code = $row[0]; // Putting the product name as a key and the price as a value in the array eval("\$code[\$row[1]] = \"$row[2]\";"); do you really want to erase the content of $code you just set above with the eval statement ?

                               $my_array = array();
                               $my_array[$1] = $2;     
	}

} Thanks Could you please describe a bit more what you'd like to do/set, so we can give you a better help ? N F
