I want to take string from $column
array define as new array.
how to code it? or if my question is stupid , my please to have suggestion.
thank you.
Answer I made on your previous question:
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$num = mysql_num_rows($result);
$i = 0;
if ($num > 0) {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
foreach($row as $column_name => $column_value) {
$temp_array[$column_name][$i] = $column_value;
}
$i++;
}
foreach ($temp_array as $name => $answer) {
$$name = $answer;
}
}
I can't see why you'd want to model your data like this, you're asking for a world of hurt in terms of debugging. There are "variable variables" you could use to define this, or build global variables dynamically using $GLOBALS:
$somevar = "hello"
$$somevar[0] = "first index"; // creates $hello[0]
$GLOBALS[$somevar][0] = "first index"; // creates $hello[0] in global scope
try
$array = array();
foreach ($results as $r){
foreach ($column as $col ){
$array[$col][] = $r[$col];
}
}
extract ($array);
or you can simply do this
$id = array();
$name = array();
$value = array();
foreach ( $results as $r ){
$id[] = $r['id']; // or $r[0];
$name[] = $r['name'];
$value[] = $r['value'];
}
Hope this is what you asked
This is pretty dangerous, as it may overwrite variables you consider safe in your code. What you're looking for is extract
:
$result = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
foreach ($column as $i => $c)
$result[$c][] = $row[$i];
extract($result);
So, if $result
was array( 'a' => array(1,2), 'b' => array(3,4))
, the last line defines variables $a = array(1,2)
and $b = array(3,4)
.
You cannot use variable variables right on for this, and you shouldn't anyway. But this is how you could do it:
foreach (mysql_fetch_something() as $row) {
foreach ($row as $key=>$value) {
$results[$key][] = $value;
}
}
extract($results);
Ideally you would skip the extract
, and use $results['id'][1]
etc. But if you only extract() the nested array in subfunctions, then the local variable scope pollution is acceptable.
There is no need for arrays or using $_GLOBALS, i believe the best way to create variables named based on another variable value is using curly brackets:
$variable_name="value";
${$variable_name}="3";
echo $value;
//Outputs 3
If you are more specific on what is the array you receive i can give a more complete solution, although i must warn you that i have never had to use such method and it's probably a sign of a bad idea.
