note 74243 added to language.types.array

Populate multi-dimensional array with variable variable to dynamically name KEYs. <?php $r=0; $sql = "SELECT Some Data ..;"; if ($recs = runsql("$sql")) { // runsql function is in a lib, just runs the query $r = mysql_num_rows($recs); } $myDATA = array(); if ($r) { mysql_data_seek($recs,0); while ($rec = mysql_fetch_assoc($recs)) { // make, assign dynamic Key name $key = "rec" . $rec['id']; $$key = array(); foreach ($rec as $k => $v ) { $myDATA[$key][$k] = $v; } } } $test = $myDATA['someRec']['someField']; // or just loop through all Records, Fields foreach ($myDATA as $recno => $records ) { foreach ($records as $k => $v ) { echo "<li>$k : $v"; } } ?> Note: If you don't need the KEY naming, then I think using a numeric index is simpler. ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 70.112.103.231 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74243 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74243 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74243 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
