Re: Associative array issues with loading values after initialization

This came straight out of the docs and it doesn't even work. It throws PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING on the line "'one' => 1," What is wrong with how I am trying to do this loop?? Thanks, Tom $a = array( 'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3, 'seventeen' => 17 ); foreach ($a as $k => $v) { echo "\$a[$k] => $v.\n"; } Thomas Bolioli wrote:

I should add, it is not working with this funciton, which could be the source of the issue. function dropbox_from_list($list, $selected_index){ while ($nex = next($list)) {

       $k = key($nex);
       if (strcmp($selected_index, $k) == 0) {
           $select = ' SELECTED';
       }
       else {
           $select = '';
       }
       print("<option value='".$k."'".$select.">".$nex[$k]."</option>");

The below function is not working. function crm_get_country_list(){ global $dbh; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries ORDER BY pk_country_id ASC", $dbh) or die(mysql_error()); $country_list = array(' ' =>' '); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

       $country_list[$row['pk_countryID']] = $row['country_name'];

} return $country_list; } I know how to write this in perl but for some reason, when I write it in PHP it doesn't work. In perl it would be (roughly): function crm_get_country_list(){ global $dbh; $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries ORDER BY pk_country_id ASC", $dbh) or die(mysql_error()); my %country_list; while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

       $country_list[$row['pk_countryID']] = $row['country_name'];

} return \%country_list; } What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance, Tom
