PHP - Array Keys And Values, Extracting And Forming A String.
What I'm trying to do is take two arrays and combine them using array_combine. After they are combined I want to take each key and value pair and use them in a string to build a MySQL query. See below for some pseudo-code =D
<?php $fields = array('first_name', 'last_name'); //the fields that will be set with an UPDATE query. $newvals = array('Joe', 'Blow');//The values that will go into $fields $arr = array_combine($fields, $newvals);//Each value now has a key of the field it will update. /** This is where I want to return my SET string with something like 'SET ' . $arr['first_name'] ' = ' . $arr['first_name_value'] ', etc etc. */ There it is, I suppose. Are there any easier ways of doing what I'm trying to accomplish, that is, am I on the right track or just making things harder for myself? Both arrays will have dynamic values throughout my application, so I need to be able to get both each field and value for each query. Any links to some constructs, etc, etc? That's all I really need and I can post the solution when I've figured it out. Similar Tutorialshey guys im trying to result an array key and value if it has one...the code and results are below if anyone can help with this simple problem...thanks alot Code: [Select] <?php $columns = array('news_id' => 'id', 'news'); foreach ($columns as $column => $column_alias) { echo $column . ' ' . $column_alias; } ?> the result im getting is: news_id id 0 news but im just after the result of just result the column name and alias (if it has one) so im looking for the result news_id id news Hi there, Basic question, but I can't seem to find a page in the PHP docs that answers (though I'm sure such a one exists, I just can't seem to think up the right search terms - anyway) My question is: is there a short-hand way to use a value from an associative array as the key in another associative array? So for example, given this array: $the_array = array(0 => array('name': 'the_name', 'value' : 'the_value'), 1 => etc....); then this kind of foreach loop doesn't work Code: [Select] $new_data = array(); foreach($the_array as $element){ $new_data[$element['name']] = $element['value']; } Obviously I can just save out the values, like $name = $element['name'] --- but I was just wondering if there was a more efficient way to do it? Cheers, PS. I tried encapsulating with {} - i.e. $new_data[{$element['name']}] --- but that also fails. I need some help converting my captured array values into keys and later add arrays as the values. This might help explain what I'm looking for: I currently have Code: [Select] Array ( [0] => Meat [1] => Veg ) But I'm after Code: [Select] Array ( Meat => Veg => ) My end result will be: Code: [Select] [Veg] => Array ( [Potatoe] => 12 [Cabbage] => 24 [Cucumber] => 56 ) [Meat] => Array ( [Chicken] => 23 [Beef] => 90 ) I think either array_values() may help but I'm not too sure how to use it. Hi all, I hope someone can help me out here as I think I am close but am not sure where to go from here. The problem is: I have a cms where a user can see a list of photos in the gallery. I provide them the ability to select what photos they want to appear on a particular webpage. The problem I have is that the user wants to be able to put the photos in whatever order they choose. So, I have a form (see attached), the html code is: <table width="566px" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td width="33%"> <div class="serviceCell"> <input type='checkbox' checked='checked' name='photos[][0]' value='119' /> Bathroom Sin... <img src="./images/help.gif" title="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage." alt="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage."/> <input type="text" size="2" name="photos[][1]" value="0"/> </div> </td> <td width="33%"> <div class="serviceCell"> <input type='checkbox' checked='checked' name='photos[][0]' value='113' /> Courtyard 1 <img src="./images/help.gif" title="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage." alt="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage."/> <input type="text" size="2" name="photos[][1]" value="0"/> </div> </td> <td width="33%"> <div class="serviceCell"> <input type='checkbox' name='photos[][0]' value='114' /> Courtyard 2 <img src="./images/help.gif" title="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage." alt="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage."/> <input type="text" size="2" name="photos[][1]" value=""/> </div> </td> </tr>... Now, lets assume that the user ticked the box next to 'Courtyard 2' and entered an integer '1' in the input box to signify that this image should be displayed 1st on the chosen webpage. These 2 values go into the multidimensional array (photoid, ranking) and are submitted in the form to php in the photos[][] array. But here is where I have the problem. I am trying to extract the values from the array and then do an insert to a table in mysql. My syntax must be wrong somewhere so I am asking anyone to please offer any advice: if (isset($_REQUEST['submitted'])){ $photos = $_REQUEST['photos']; ... if(!empty($photos)){ foreach($photos as $photoID){ $sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO menuItemPhotos SET photoid='$photoID[0]', menuItemid='$id', ranking='$photoID[1]'"; $ok = @mysql_query($sql); // execute the query } // End of foreach($photos as $photoID){ } // End of if(!empty($photos)){ Thanks Conor [attachment deleted by admin] Say I have this array: Code: [Select] <?php $array = array('one' => array(), 'two' => array(), '_three' => array()); ?> How could I sort that array so it ends up like so: Code: [Select] Array ( [_three] => Array ( ) [one] => Array ( ) [two] => Array ( ) ) Thanks!!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and new to php. I have created a multi-part form that allows the user the option to add multiple input fields to a form to upload images. Here is the form structu Code: [Select] <form action="Scripts/processreports2.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="report_form" target="uploader" class="reportfrm"> <fieldset> <legend>Upload your images</legend> <ol id="add_images"> <li> <input type="file" class="input" name="files[]" /> </li> <li> <input type="file" class="input" name="files[]" /> </li> <li> <input type="file" class="input" name="files[]" /> </li> </ol> <input type="button" name="addFile" id="addFile" value="Add Another Image" onclick="window.addFile(this);"/> </fieldset> <p>* indicates a required field.</p> <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Send Info!" /> </form> Through php a maximum of three input fields are fed into an array that checks to make sure that the uploaded files are images and not some other type of file. The uploading porition of this script works. Now I am trying to get the values of the input fields as a string and insert them into the database as one record. Let's say the user has three files they want to upload. I have managed to get the files as a string ie; file1.jpg, file2.jpg, file3.jpg but what is happening is that I am getting three separate records with file1.jpg, file2.jpg, file3.jpg in them. If the user has only two files to upload then I get two separate records with file1.jpg and file2.jpg in them. (Hope that makes sense). I want one record. I have been struggling with this since Monnday and while every day I get closer, this is as close as I can get. Below is the php code. #connect to the database mysql_connect("localhost", "root", ""); mysql_select_db("masscic"); //Upload Handler to check image types function is_image($file) { $file_types = array('jpeg', 'gif', 'bmp'); //acceptable file types if ($img = getimagesize($file)){ //echo '<pre>'; //print_r($_FILES); used for testing //print_r($img); used for testing if(in_array(str_replace('image/', '', $img['mime']), $file_types)) return $img; } return false; } //form submission handling if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { //file variables $fname = $_FILES['files']['name']; $ftype = $_FILES['files']['type']; $fsize = $_FILES['files']['size']; $tname = $_FILES['files']['tmp_name']; $ferror = $_FILES['files']['error']; $newDir = '../uploads/'; //relative to where this script file resides for($i = 0; $i < count($fname); $i++) { //echo 'File name ' . $fname[$i] .

How can I obtain the value of g1 (i.e. 111)? It does not represent the current state of the server thus I cannot just use $_GET. It also is not necessarily the first item. The script below appears to work, however, http://php.net/manua...n.parse-url.php states This function is intended specifically for the purpose of parsing URLs and not URIs. However, to comply with PHP's backwards compatibility requirements it makes an exception for the file:// scheme where triple slashes (file:///...) are allowed. For any other scheme this is invalid. It appears that my string is a URI and not a URL, but I might be wrong. How should this be accomplished <?php $str='/index.php?g1=111&g2=222&g3=333'; $array=parse_url($str); parse_str($array['query'],$get); echo("<p>{$get['g1']}</p>"); ?> I have managed to get this to work but it seems like it is a very long and messy solution. I was wondering if anyone had an idea of how this can be done better. I am new to php and don't know a lot. It shows the text between the tags <h1> and </h1> from the content of a different file Basically I had to start the substr() from the fourth position so it would actually skip the "<h1>" being included, and because I started on the fourth postion I then had to finish four places back to skip the "</h1>" being included. Code: [Select] <?php $id = $_GET['id']; $homepage = file_get_contents("./".$id.".php"); $title = stristr($homepage,"<h1>"); $titlepos = strpos($homepage,"</h1>"); $endpos = $titlepos - 4; echo "Title " . substr($title,4,$endpos); ?> so I'm working on this system which requires me to inject anime show names into a DB for an index.
