Re: looping through fields in a table

I dealt with this problem just this past week, and yes it's possible to do this however you'd like. The basic premise of getting field names and their corresponding values is a simple one, though: $fields = $field_values = ""; for ($i=1; list($key, $val) = each($arr); $i++ ) { $fields .= $key; $field_values .= "'". $val ."'"; if ($i < sizeof($arr)): $fields .= ", "; $field_values .= ", "; endif; } This gives you comma-delineated strings of Fields and Field Values from a 1-D associative array, which is what I needed for a silly little database insert... you can modify it as it suits you. -r3- ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Masiello <smasiello@chekinc.com> To: <M.vanderMerwe@expro.shell.co.uk>; <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2000 11:02 AM Subject: RE: [PHP-GENERAL] looping through fields in a table > > This partly depends on how you want to present the information.
