Can someone please help me with this code I'm having major problems with arrays. This code is part of a function I'm writing to deal with an array returned from a HTML form of check boxes so if anyone has an example of this sort of thing I'd appreciate a look at it. Anyway Code follows : //Reading from a data base $db = mysql_connect("$DB_Server", "$DB_Login, $DB_Password"); mysql_select_db("$DB_Name",$db); $results = mysql_query("SELECT option_type, code FROM options WHERE code='000' ORDER BY option_type",$db); mysql_fetch_array($results); // From what understand I should have an array some thig like this: // ("Size"=>"A4" , "Size" => "A3", "Size"=>"A5", "Colour"=>"Red", etc..); $types = array_values($results); // OK so now I think I have an array like this: // ("A4" , "A3", "A5", "Red", etc..); while ($type =array_pop($types)){ echo $type."<br>"; } // Now I'm expecting this list to be printed to be outputted A4 A5 A3 Red etc... I'm figureing that this would be a good way to retreive a listing from the web site arrays and test and insert them one by one. /// The table options option_type || code || option_preferences Size || 000 || A4 Size || 000 || A3 Size || 000 || A5 Colour || 000 || Red Colour || 000 || Blue Colour || 000 || Green
