PHP - Need Help With Extracting Data From An Array

Hi guys,
This is my problem:
I have a csv file let's say have these values:

blue,1,2,3,4
red,8,5,6,7

I need to add thes values into a 2d array
to be able to use like this:
colors[1][2]=2
colors[2][4]=7

Where my first number is the row and the second number is the value within that row.

This is what I got so far

<?PHP
$i=0;
$j=0;
$file_handle = fopen("color-list.csv", "r");
while (!feof($file_handle) )
   {
   $colors = fgetcsv($file_handle, 10000);

for ($j=0; $j<=4; $j++)
               {
               $row[$i][$j]=$colors[$j];
                                        print row[$i][$j];
               }
$i++;
?>

For some reason this doesn't work. Maybe I am declaring the arrays wrong.

Thank you!

Hey all,

I wrote a crawler and have already written the string to extract links. i get a multidimensional array.
this is #13 for example

Array[0][13] => <a class="menuitem" href="/home-news.html" title="Home / News">Home / News</a>
Array[1][13] => /home-news.html

ok so far so good. Now I want to extract the name Home / News and write that into a database and the link as well. can i use the preg_match_all() to search an array? or how can i extract it?

Thanks so much! monkover

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' />&nbsp;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."/>&nbsp;<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' />&nbsp;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."/>&nbsp;<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' />&nbsp;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."/>&nbsp;<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

I need to set up a threaded comments system in a PHP project and I got this script shown below from http://www.jongales....#comment-436261

class Threaded_comments
{
    
    public $parents  = array();
    public $children = array();

    /**
     * @param array $comments 
     */
    function __construct($comments)
    {
        foreach ($comments as $comment)
        {
            if ($comment['parent_id'] === NULL)
            {
                $this->parents[$comment['id']][] = $comment;
            }
            else
            {
                $this->children[$comment['parent_id']][] = $comment;
            }
        }        
    }
   
    /**
     * @param array $comment
     * @param int $depth 
     */
    private function format_comment($comment, $depth)
    {   
        for ($depth; $depth > 0; $depth--)
        {
            echo "\t";
        }
        
        echo $comment['text'];
        echo "\n";
    }
    
    /**
     * @param array $comment
     * @param int $depth 
     */ 
    private function print_parent($comment, $depth = 0)
    {   
        foreach ($comment as $c)
        {
            $this->format_comment($c, $depth);

            if (isset($this->children[$c['id']]))
            {
                $this->print_parent($this->children[$c['id']], $depth + 1);
            }
        }
    }

    public function print_comments()
    {
        foreach ($this->parents as $c)
        {
            $this->print_parent($c);
        }
    }
  
}

Here’s the example usage with the data provided as an array:

$comments = array(  array('id'=>1, 'parent_id'=>NULL,   'text'=>'Parent'),
                    array('id'=>2, 'parent_id'=>1,      'text'=>'Child'),
                    array('id'=>3, 'parent_id'=>2,      'text'=>'Child Third level'),
                    array('id'=>4, 'parent_id'=>NULL,   'text'=>'Second Parent'),
                    array('id'=>5, 'parent_id'=>4,   'text'=>'Second Child')
                );

$threaded_comments = new Threaded_comments($comments);

$threaded_comments->print_comments();

I have a sample select query that pulls data from a database and stores the result in the $comments array as shown below. The $comments array is then passed as an argument to the $threaded_comments object:

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM test_comments';
// submit the query and capture the result
$result = $conn->query($sql);
$comments = array();
while ($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    $comments[] = $row;
}

The challenge is that nothing is printed to the screen when I run the script. Inspection of the comments array with the var_dump function is shown below:

array (size=4)
  0 => 
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '1' (length=1)
      'parent_id' => string '0' (length=1)
      'text' => string 'comment' (length=7)
  1 => 
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '2' (length=1)
      'parent_id' => string '0' (length=1)
      'text' => string 'comment' (length=7)
  2 => 
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '3' (length=1)
      'parent_id' => string '1' (length=1)
      'text' => string 'comment ' (length=8)
  3 => 
    array (size=3)
      'id' => string '4' (length=1)
      'parent_id' => string '3' (length=1)
      'text' => string 'comment ' (length=8)

I was wondering if the array format from my select query is the issue? Could anyone provide a clue as to how to fix this?   Thanks.

I usually only do design work, but a client wanted a log in system to his website, so I decided to do it.

I set everything up correctly, and users can sign up, login, and log out. However, he wants to be informed when a user logs into his site.

So say (user x) wants logs in, my client wants to receive an email with all of (user x)'s account information. How do I pull a row from mysql based on the login information provided?

My database is has 7 columns: user, pass, name, address, state, phone, email
