PHP - Using An Array To Call Another Array.
Hi,
I have the following code in one of my configuration files of the application I'm writing: // config.php $config = array( 'IndexPage' => "$config['MenuItems']['Main Menu']['Home']"; // What page should the application default to if no action is specified? 'MenuItems' => array( 'Main Menu' => array( 'Home' => array('module' => 'main', 'action' => 'index'); Essentially, $config['IndexPage'] can change if a user wants a different page when users access the system. I need to basically call the $config['IndexPage'] array as if it were an actual array, and stick it straight into my page. Is there anyway this can be done? Similar TutorialsCode: [Select] <? $i=1; $analysts[$i] = array(0=>'alpha'); $regions[$i] = array(0=>'beta'); $countries[$i] = array(0=>'gamma'); $provinces[$i] = array(0=>'delta'); $events[$i] = array(0=>'epsilon'); $selectable_document_elements = array ( 0=> analysts, 1=> regions, 2=> countries, 3=> provinces, 4=> events ); foreach($selectable_document_elements as $value) { echo $value; print_r($$value[$i]); echo "</br>"; } ?> I can't seem to call $$value[$i], however when I leave off the [$i] part Code: [Select] print_r($$value); I get the individual elements... Code: [Select] analystsArray ( [1] => Array ( [0] => alpha ) ) regionsArray ( [1] => Array ( [0] => beta ) ) countriesArray ( [1] => Array ( [0] => gamma ) ) provincesArray ( [1] => Array ( [0] => delta ) ) eventsArray ( [1] => Array ( [0] => epsilon) ) However, I would like to get the 1 part of the array, in this example. Is there a magic trick to calling variable arrays' individual elements? I am having a helluva time trying to populate my state option box with a state array. I have the array set but now how does this get called into the foreach block where the select box is? I can populate it i guess with options manually but I want to get the array to display in the box instead. I tried everything with the minimal experience I have so I need a little help, I got the select box up and displaying where I want it but I cant populate it with an array call. See foreach block near the end of the code: Thanks a bunch! here is my include file code so far: <?php /* Program name: form_test_state.inc * Description: Defines a form that collects a user's * name and mailing address. */ $rows = array( "first_name" => "First Name", "last_name" => "Last Name", "phone" => "Phone Number", "city" => "City", "state" => "State", "address" => "Address", "zip_code" => "ZIP Code", "e_mail" => "E-Mail"); $states_list = array('AL'=>"Alabama",'AK'=>"Alaska",'AZ'=>"Arizona",'AR'=>"Arkansas",'CA'=>"California",'CO'=>"Colorado",'CT'=>"Connecticut",'DE'=>"Delaware",'DC'=>"District Of Columbia",'FL'=>"Florida",'GA'=>"Georgia",'HI'=>"Hawaii",'ID'=>"Idaho",'IL'=>"Illinois", 'IN'=>"Indiana", 'IA'=>"Iowa", 'KS'=>"Kansas",'KY'=>"Kentucky",'LA'=>"Louisiana",'ME'=>"Maine",'MD'=>"Maryland", 'MA'=>"Massachusetts",'MI'=>"Michigan",'MN'=>"Minnesota",'MS'=>"Mississippi",'MO'=>"Missouri",'MT'=>"Montana",'NE'=>"Nebraska",'NV'=>"Nevada",'NH'=>"New Hampshire",'NJ'=>"New Jersey",'NM'=>"New Mexico",'NY'=>"New York",'NC'=>"North Carolina",'ND'=>"North Dakota",'OH'=>"Ohio",'OK'=>"Oklahoma", 'OR'=>"Oregon",'PA'=>"Pennsylvania",'RI'=>"Rhode Island",'SC'=>"South Carolina",'SD'=>"South Dakota",'TN'=>"Tennessee",'TX'=>"Texas",'UT'=>"Utah",'VT'=>"Vermont",'VA'=>"Virginia",'WA'=>"Washington",'WV'=>"West Virginia",'WI'=>"Wisconsin",'WY'=>"Wyoming"); $submit = "Submit mailing information"; ?> <html> <head> <style type='text/css'> <!-- body { background: #42413C; color: #000; font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 90%; } form { margin: 1em 2 2 2; padding: 1; width: 1100px; margin-left: 35%; } .field {padding-bottom: 1em; } label { font-weight: bold; float: left; width: 10%; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right; background-color: #9F6; padding-right: 5px; } select {margin-bottom: 1em;} #submit { margin-left: 15%; } h3 { width: 500px; margin-left: 35%; } --> </style> </head> <body> <h3>Please enter your mailing information below:</h3> <?php /* loop that displays the form */ echo "<form action='checkBlankOnly_latest.php' method='post'>"; foreach($rows as $field => $label) if($field == "state") { echo "<label for='$field'>$label</label> <select name='State'> <<<< Insert $states_list array here I am trying to figure out >>>> <option value='state'>Alabama </option> </select> "; } else { echo "<div class='field'><label for='$field'>$label</label> <input id='$field' name='$field' type='text' value='".@$$field."' size='25%' maxlength='65' /></div>\n"; } echo "<div id='submit'> <input type='submit' value='$submit'></div>"; ?> </form> </body> </html> Lets start out by saying I'm a nube to sql/php things so I am learning as I go. I try to read all that I can before I post, and only post when I cant figure it out on my own. That being said. What I want to do in simplest terms is be able to assign a variable to each item in an sql table. So say I have an mysql table that has ID, username, fontcolor. I want to be able to pull those out so say.... while($row = mysql_fetch_array($users)) { $username[$i] = $row[username]; $fontcolor[$i] = $row[fontcolor]; } Then on the page I can just call to $username[1] type thing. I have tried mixing this several different ways with for and while and I keep getting errors on the page. I realize the code isn't showing everything but its just there to show you the idea of what I'm trying to do. I just want it to generate a list(array) that will make it easier for me to call back just the items I need on parts of the page with out having to have extra coding everywhere. Thanks in advance.

Thanks.. I am having some problems getting a query correct. Basically I have two tables, one with listings and another with categories. In the listings table I have a column called shortdescription. I am trying to pull the shortdescription from the listings table with the query $shortdesc = array_shift(mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("select shortdescription from links where category = '".$scat->id."' "))); The shortdecription display properly on the pages display the listings, however I am getting the following error on any pages that only display the parent categories Warning: array_shift() [function.array-shift]: The argument should be an array in /home/...path/file.php on line 1462 The listings id numbers begin at 75+ because the initial parent category id ends at 74. The query seems to be searching for listing ids below 75 and spitting out an error because it is not finding them. Any ideas on how to eliminate this error and/or stop the query from looking for non-existant data? 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 a help in the following : I have an admin page from where the admin attaches an gif image.This attached image should be shown to the user as a scrolling image. The code for the scrolling image is done through javascript. So my actual problem is getting the name of the attached gif image to the javascript array which is used for scrolling horizontally. Hello all, I have yet again trouble finding a logical solution to my problem. I'm fetching an array which can hold 1 or more values. The problem is, I want these values to ouput in my json_encode function, but this also needs to happen dynamically depending on the amount of values. I can't explain it further, so here's the code so far: Code: (php) [Select] $files = mysql_fetch_array($get_files); $a = count($files); $i = 1; while ($files) { $variablename = 'fileName' . $i; $$variablename = $files['fileName']; $i++; } $output = array( OTHER VALUES , 'fileName1' => $fileName1, 'fileName2' => $fileName2, 'fileName3' => $fileName3, ............); // How do I add the fileNames dynamically depending on how many there are? This got me thinking, I also need to dynamically GET the values with jQuery. How would I do that, when the above eventually works? Thank you. This topic has been moved to PHP Applications. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=344127.0 I have mysql select query shown below retrieving data from a database:
$sql = " SELECT student, sum( test_score ) as score FROM test INNER JOIN level ON test.level_id = level.level_id GROUP BY student" $result = $mysqli->query($sql, MYSQLI_STORE_RESULT); if($result) { while ($row = $result->fetch_array(MYSQLI_ASSOC)) { var_dump($row); } }On inspection of the retrieved array with var_dump(), i have these result below: array (size=2) 'John' => string 'English' (length=2) 'Score' => string '20' (length=3) array (size=2) 'Mary' => string 'Math' (length=3) 'Score' => string '35' (length=3) array (size=2) 'Samuel' => string 'Physics' (length=3) 'Score' => string '5' (length=3)How do I get at and print out the highest score from this set of array values within this context.

So I'm trying to create an Array from a comma separated string containing array{s}. How can I take a string full of comma separated hex values such as : <?php $myStr = ( "00ffff", "00cccc", "009999", "007777", "004444", "001111", "01ffff", "01cccc", "019999" ); ?> & turn it into 3 separated arrays like : <?php $myNewArrs = [ Array1 ( 3 ), Array2 ( 3 ), Array3 ( 3 ), ]; ?> which REALLY looks like : <?php $myNewArrs = [ Array ( "00ffff", "00cccc", "009999" ), Array ( "007777", "004444", "001111" ), Array ( "01ffff", "01cccc", "019999" ), ]; ?>

Edited May 27 by AquariaXI hi all, I have an language pack for example: languages/en.php: Code: [Select] $en['mail']['letter closing'] = "regards,\n your friend!"; and in my config: Code: [Select] $language = "en"; $include_language = @include("languages/".$language.".php"); if(!($include_language)) { $try_default_language = @include("languages/nl.php"); if(!($try_default_language)) { echo "kan de taalpakket niet vinden<br>"; echo "Could not find the language pack.<br>"; echo "example on error: ".$test." shows nothing"; exit; } } In my function I want to include the language pack for example i have $language = 'en' so I want to include $en['general']['letter closing'] I will do this: Code: [Select] global $language,${$language}['general']; But that gives an error unexpected '[' blah blah. How can i call the variable variable array in the valid php way? Hi, A piece of software I'm using an array is made that looks like the following: Code: [Select] [["Select","Vehicle",0.142933,[0.15,0.4,0.05,0.01]]] How would I be best parsing it so: Square brackets currently showing an array becomes an array within PHP Text strings surrounded by "quotations" lose the quotation mark when stored in the PHP array Numbers remain as values in the PHP array The arrays can become quite large, so which would be the best way to go about it? Regards, Jason I have the following array structu Code: [Select] [0] => Array ( [id] => Array ( [$t] => http://www.google.com/mate/ ) [updated] => Array ( [$t] => 2011-08-31T11:43:05.942Z ) [category] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [scheme] => http://schemas.google.com/g/ [term] => http://schemas.google.com/contact/ ) ) [title] => Array ( [type] => text [$t] => Name ) [link] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [rel] => http://schemas.google.com/contacts/2008/rel#edit-photo [type] => image/* [href] => https://www.google.com/mate/feeds/photos/media/ ) [1] => Array ( [rel] => self [type] => application/atom+xml [href] => https://www.google.com/mate/feeds/contacts ) [2] => Array ( [rel] => edit [type] => application/atom+xml [href] => https://www.google.com/mate/feeds/ ) ) [gd$email] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [rel] => http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#other [address] => email_address@gmail.com [primary] => true ) ) ) I am tried to display name and email address. I am using following method, can anyone tell me is there any better way? Thank u 4u help. NAME $name=( $emp_det[0]['title'][t]); $email =( $emp_det[0]['gdemail'][0][address]); I need to some how pull comma separated images $data[23] from this $data array and then put them into there own array so I can insert them into separate rows in a database. This is the provided array: $data[0] => VIN $data[1] => StockNumber ...(all the other number here) $data[23] => Image_URLs (comma seperated) $data[24] => Equipment // I need something like this (obviously doesn't work?!@#) $delimiter = ","; $img = explode($delimiter, $data[23]); foreach($img as $pic){ $sqlPic = "insert into class_prodimages (pid image rank) values('".$LastId['id']."', '$pic', '".rand(1,20)."')"; } Any help here? I have a associative array and I need to compare it to a normal array. Code: [Select] associative will have anywhere from 2-8 of these ['name'] ['color'] ['uid'] Code: [Select] normal array will have anywhere from 1-8 names ['name'] What I need to do is get the name of the people that are in the associative array that are not in the normal array. I've tried all sorts of different loops and what not and I cant seam to get anything to work in every case. I have an array created to control the down states of the my buttons in my navigation. Which is working well. This array will have quite a few strings in it before I'm done. I then want to conditionally load a CSS file for all the files in that array with the exception of two, is this possible? In plain in english I want to say If in array apart from these values then load my css file. My array (will have more values when complete) Code: [Select] $otherTitles = array('Product Selector', 'Avon Range', 'Knightsbridge Range', 'Kingston Range' ); My code to load a css file Code: [Select] <?php if (in_array($title, $otherTitles)) { ?> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="homepage.css"/> <?php } ?> I want all titles in the otherTitles array to get this CSS file apart from two Product Selector and Avon Range.
