PHP - Array From Mysql Question

I have a script that displays a certain result set, the row I am concerned about is called 'endonum'. Some rows will have the same number in this field. Is there a way to only show 1 result with the same number in this field. The array will be like '1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5' and so on, but I just want to display 1 of them, not all. Kinda confusing but maybe someone gets it. Here is the code.
<?php
$selectendo = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM endorse WHERE agency = '$agency' AND finalized = 'No'")or die(mysql_error());
while($showendo = mysql_fetch_array($selectendo))
{
    $endonumber = $showendo['endonum'];
?>
<li><a href="viewendo.php?endonum=<?php echo $endonumber;?>">Endorsement Number:<?php echo $endonumber . " Date: " . $showendo['date'];?></a></li>  
<?php   
}
?>

Hello all   I have the need to join up two tables and display the output in a table. These tables are a 'Site Details' table and a 'Customer Details' table where the 'cust_id' (PK on the CD table and FK on the SD table) match.   The MySQL statement (within PHP) I have works a treat in as much as the join seems to do the trick and join the two up on the correct row:

<?php
if($letter == 'ALL')
{$query = mysqli_query($con,
SELECT site_details.site_id, site_details.sitename, site_details.sitecode, 
site_details.postcode,customer_details.cust_number, customer_details.cust_fname 
FROM site_details 
LEFT JOIN customer_details ON site_details.cust_id = customer_details.cust_id
ORDER BY sitename ASC);
}

$result = mysql_query($query, $connection);

How can i do this?

So I'm querying my database to add the results (mapID's) into a PHP array.
The MySQL query I used in the below code would usually return 10 values (only 10 mapID's in the database)

Code: [Select]
while($data = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query("SELECT mapID FROM maps"))){
$sqlsearchdata[] = $data['mapID'];
}
Instead the page takes ages to load then gives this error:
Quote

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16 bytes)

It says the error begins on the first line of the above code. I'm assuming this is not the right way to add the value from the MySQL array into a normal PHP array.

Can anyone help me?

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this has been answered but if it has I can't find it anywhere. So, from the begining then.  Lets say I had a member table and in it I wanted to store what their top 3 interests are.  Their$ row has all the usual things to identify them userID and password etc.. and I had a further 3 columns which were labled top3_1 top3_2 & top3_3 to put each of their interests in from a post form.

If instead I wanted to store this data as a PHP Array instead (using 1 column instead of 3) is there a way to store it as readable data when you open the PHPmyadmin?

At the moment all it says is array and when I call it back to the browser (say on a page where they could review and update their interests) it displays 'a' as top3_01 'r' as top3_02 and 'r' as top3_03 (in each putting what would be 'array' as it appears in the table if there were 5 results. Does anyone know what I mean?

For example -

If we had a form which collected the top 3 interests to put in a table called users,

Code: [Select]
<form action="back_to_same_page_for_processing.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
   
    <input name="top3_01" type="text" value="enter interest number 1 here" />
    <input name="top3_02" type="text" value="enter interest number 2 here" />
    <input name="top3_03" type="text" value="enter interest number 3 here" />
    <input type="submit" name="update_button" value=" Save and Update! " />

   
    </form> // If my quick code example for this form is not correct dont worry its not the point im getting at :)
And they put 'bowling' in top3_01, 'running' in top3_02 and 'diving' in top3_03 and we catch that on the same page with some PHP at the top -->

Code: [Select]
        if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) {
   
    $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars
    $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running'
    $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving'

With me so far? If I had a table which had 3 columns (1 for each interest) I could put something like -

  Code: [Select]
   include('connect_msql.php');
   
    mysql_query("Select * FROM users WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah");
   
    mysql_query("UPDATE users SET top3_01='$top3_01', top3_02='$top3_02', top3_03='$top3_03' WHERE id='$id'");


And hopefully if ive got it right, it will put them each in their own little column. Easy enough huh? But heres the thing, I want to put all these into an array to be stored in the 1 column (say called 'top3') and whats more have them clearly readable in PHPmyadmin and editable from there yet still be able to be called back an rendered on page when requested.

Continuing the example then, assuming ive changed the table for the 'top3' column instead of individual colums,  I could put something like this -


Code: [Select]
            if (isset($_POST)['update_button']) {
       
        $top3_01 = $_POST['top3_01']; // i.e, 'bowling' changing POST vars to local vars
        $top3_02 = $_POST['top3_02']; // i.e, 'running'
        $top3_03 = $_POST['top3_03']; // i.e, 'diving'
   
    $top3_array = array($top3_01,$top3_02,$top3_03);
   
    include('connect_msql.php');
   
    mysql_query("UPDATE members SET top3='$top3_array' WHERE id='$id' AND blah blah blah");
But it will appear in the column as 'Array' and when its called for using a query it will render the literal string. a r r in each field instead.  Now I know you can use the 'serialize()' & 'unserialize()' funtcions but it makes the entry in the database practically unreadable. Is there a way to make it readable and editable without having to create a content management system?

If so please let me know and I'll be your friend forever, lol, ok maybe not but I'd really appreciate the help anyways.  The other thing is, If you can do this or something like it, how am I to add entries to that array to go back into the data base?

I hope ive explained myself enough here, but if not say so and I'll have another go.  Thanks very much people,  L-PLate (P.s if I sort this out on my own ill post it all here)
