PHP - Speed Mysql Query Inside Foreach Loop

Hi All,

First time posting here. I've googled the problem, but can't seem to find a response that's the same.

All I want to do is have a list of id numbers and for each id number in the array, submit a MySQL query to retrieve information relating to the id number.

When I execute the code below however, I end up with only the last item in the array being printed in the echo statement.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Code: [Select]
// get array of ids
$ids = getIDs($ids);

// loop through input list
foreach ($ids as &$id) {
getVarDetails($id);
}

function getVarDetails($local)
{
$con = mysql_connect('localhost:3306', 'root', '********');
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

// set database as Ensembl
mysql_select_db("Ensembl", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM variations WHERE name = '$local' LIMIT 1");
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result)

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['name'] . " " . $row['id'];
echo "<br />";
}

// close connection
mysql_close($con);
}

Is it possible to have a loop inside a mysql select statement? If yes, can someone please give me an idea.

Can you use php for loops INSIDE of a mySQL query?  Something like this, where $i varies...

Code: [Select]
$sql = "UPDATE answers SET ";
for ($i=0;$i<=$total;$i++) {
echo "answerid$i=$newnum$i,"
                                }
WHERE something=$something";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $connection);
if (!$result) {
die("Database query failed: " . mysql_error());
} else {

}

Hi,

Here is an extract of my while loop


 while ($personquery = mysql_fetch_array($personfetch, MYSQL_ASSOC))
          {
           
          echo "$personfetch[first_name]";
} 


This will list each person now I want to do an INSERT to the database on every single member that is being listed I can only get it to INSERT for the one.

Thanks

mysql_query("update pupils set record='running' where pid !='$testing[0]' 

Below is my output on the browser:

    Student: Kevin Smith (u0867587)
    Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Course Mark 70 Grade
    Year: 3
   
   
    Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications Module Mark: 41 Mark Percentage: 68 Grade: B
   
    Session: AAB Session Mark: 72 Session Weight Contribution 20%
   
    Session: AAE Session Mark: 67 Session Weight Contribution 40%


    Module: CHI2513 - Systems Strategy Module Mark: 31 Mark Percentage: 62 Grade: B
   
    Session: AAD Session Mark: 61 Session Weight Contribution 50%

Now where it says course mark above it says 70. This is incorrect as it should be 65 (The average between the module marks percentage should be 65 in the example above) but for some stange reason I can get the answer 65. I have a variable called $courseMark and that does the calculation. Now if the $courseMark is echo outside the where loop, then it will equal 65 but if it is put in while loop where I want the variable to be displayed, then it adds up to 70. Why does it do this.
   
    Below is the code:

Code: [Select]
    $sessionMark = 0;
    $sessionWeight = 0;
    $courseMark = 0;
   
    $output = "";
   
    $studentId = false;
    $courseId  = false;
    $moduleId  = false;
   
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
    {
   
   
    $sessionMark += round($row['Mark'] / 100 * $row['SessionWeight']);
    $sessionWeight  += ($row['SessionWeight']);
        $courseMark = ($sessionMark /  $sessionWeight * 100);
   
          if($studentId != $row['StudentUsername'])
        {
   
            //Student has changed
            $studentId = $row['StudentUsername'];
   
            $output .= "<p><strong>Student:</strong> {$row['StudentForename']} {$row['StudentSurname']} ({$row['StudentUsername']})\n";
   
        }
             
        if($courseId != $row['CourseId'])
        {
   
            //Course has changed
            $courseId = $row['CourseId'];
   
            $output .= "<br><strong>Course:</strong> {$row['CourseId']} - {$row['CourseName']} <strong>Course Mark</strong>" round($courseMark) "<strong>Grade</strong>  <br><strong>Year:</strong> {$row['Year']}</p>\n";
   
        }
   
        if($moduleId != $row['ModuleId'])
        {
   
            //Module has changed
            if(isset($sessionsAry)) //Don't run function for first record
            {
   
                //Get output for last module and sessions
                $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry);
            }
   
            //Reset sessions data array and Set values for new module
   
            $sessionsAry = array();
            $moduleId    = $row['ModuleId'];
            $moduleName  = $row['ModuleName'];
        }
             
        //Add session data to array for current module
             
        $sessionsAry[] = array('SessionId'=>$row['SessionId'], 'Mark'=>$row['Mark'], 'SessionWeight'=>$row['SessionWeight']);
             
    }    //Get output for last module
   
    $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry);
   
    //Display the output
    echo $output;
I think the problem is that it is outputting the answer of the calculation only for the first session mark. How in the while loop can I do it so it doesn't display it for the first mark only but for all the session marks so that it ends up showing the correct answer 65 and not 72?

The Script:

$desired_width = 110;

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $j = 0; //Variable for indexing uploaded image

    for ($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES['file']['name']); $i++) {//loop to get individual element from the array

        $validextensions = array("jpeg", "jpg", "png");  //Extensions which are allowed
        $ext = explode('.', basename($_FILES['file']['name'][$i]));//explode file name from dot(.)

                $tqr = mysqli_query($dbc, $tqs);

                // Select the ID numbers of the last inserted images and store them inside an array.
                // Use the implode() function on the array to have a string of the ID numbers separated by commas.
                // Store the ID numbers in the "image_file_id" column of the "thread" table.

                print_r($fetch_array);

                // Goes over to create the thumbnail images.

                make_thumb($src, $dest, $desired_width);


            } else {//if file was not moved.

Hey, sorry that I am posting this darn image upload script again, I have this almost finished and I am not looking to ask more questions when it comes to this script specifically.   With the script above I have that part where the script should store the ID numbers (the auto_increment column of the table) of the image files inside of one array and then the "implode()" function would get used on the array and then the ID numbers would get inserted into the "image_file_id" column of the "thread" table.   As you can see at the above part the script prints the following:

                    Array ( [0] => 542 )

                    Array ( [0] => 543 )

                    Array ( [0] => 544 )

And I am looking to insert into the column of the table the following:

542, 543, 544

I thought of re-writing the whole image upload script since this happens inside the for loop, though I thought maybe I could be having this done with the script as it is right now.   Any suggestions on how to do this?

I get this error so I was wondering if it is because I can't put a while inside a foreach?
"syntax error, unexpected T_WHILE in home/g/h/t...."

while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($rr)){
$pt_id = unserialize($rows['pts']);
foreach ($pt_id as $indiv) {
$q = "select * from indiv where id_incr = '$indiv'";
echo $q;
$result = mysql_query($q)
while $ptrow =mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $ptrow['v1'];
echo "<br>";
}
}
}

I want to create a loop foreach  [@attributes] I seem to be stuck and cant figure it out.  any info would be helpful. Thanks!

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [0] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [ID] => 5760861
                )

        )

    [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [ID] => 5335615
                )

        )

    [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [ID] => 6080572
                )

        )

    [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [@attributes] => Array
                (
                    [ID] => 5178898
                )

        )

I have a foreach loop in a webpage that displays some fields ($c), it looks like this:

foreach($this->fDisplay[5] as $field)
{    
$c = $this->field->showFieldValue($this->content,$field);
if(($c !== "")&&($c !== null)) {
    $title = $this->field->showFieldTitle(@$this->content->catid,$field);
    echo "<span class='f".$field->name."'>";
    if ($title != "")
        echo "<b>".htmlspecialchars($title)."</b>: ";
    echo "$c<br/>";
    echo "</span>";
}

Now I want to put a condition on only one of these fields. I want the field "email" only to show if the user is logged in. If the user is not logged in I want this field to be hidden in frontend. (I already have a variable for logged in users) What is the best way to do this?

Hey guys,

Got another question im hoping someone can help me with.

I have a foreach loop (for use in a mysql query):

   foreach ($interests as $interest) {
       $query .= "($id, $interest), ";
   }

problem is i do not want the comma(,) in the last loop.

Is there some kinda of function i can use so it does not insert it on last loop?

Or should i just use a for loop with a nested if loop? something like ;

   for($i=0; $i < count($interests); $i++){
      $query .=
      "($id, '$interests[$i]')";
      if($i + 1 < count($interests)) {
         $query .= ", ";
      }
      }


Cheers guys

Does anybody know how to make the following code correct? real sorry but its just absolutely blowing my mind im awful with loops and have pretty much no clue what the hell im doing in honesty, any help would be great, Thanks

Code: [Select]
$addIDs_ary = array_map('intval', $_POST['chkInv']);
$addIDs_ary = array_filter($addIDs_ary);
$value = $addIDs_ary;
//Check if hit_id is already in hitlist
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM hitlist WHERE player_id  = '$playerID'");
$result = mysql_query($query);
while ($result = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
foreach ($result as $hit_id => $value){
if($result[$hit_id] == $value);
$str = "";
}
}
else

what im trying to do is echo all of the results from the database query but add bold to results with a pid of 0. here is my code:


$list = '';
$query = $link->query("SELECT * FROM ".TBL_PREFIX."forums
                        ORDER BY f_lid ASC");
$result = $query->fetchAll();

foreach($result as $key => $val)
{
    if($result[$key]['f_pid'] == 0)
    {
        $list .= '<b>'.$result[$key]['f_name'].'</b><br />';
    }
    $list .= $result[$key]['f_name'].'<br />';
}
echo $list;


this works fine but the ones with a pid of 0 are displayed twice. once as bold and then once normal like so:

General
General
New Features

Testing
Testing
Sandbox
Bugs

my question is how to prevent this.

I have a foreach loop which shows the breadcrumb display. But it's stopped working. For some reason the links are no longer links. They are just echoed on screen with no <a> tags.

setting up array:

$crumb_query = mysqli_query($link, "SELECT 
f.forum_id, f.forum_cat_id, f.forum_name,
c.cat_id, c.cat_name
FROM ".TBL_PREFIX."forums as f
LEFT JOIN ".TBL_PREFIX."categories as c
ON c.cat_id = f.forum_cat_id
WHERE f.forum_id = '$forum_id'
") or die(mysqli_error($link));

$crumb_info = mysqli_fetch_array($crumb_query, MYSQLI_ASSOC);

$crumbs = array("index.php" => "Board Index",
"./view_category.php?cid={$crumb_info['cat_id']}" => $crumb_info['cat_name'],
"./view_topics.php?fid=$forum_id" => $crumb_info['forum_name']);

echo build_crumbs($crumbs);


the function:


function build_crumbs($crumbs)
{

foreach($crumbs as $key => $value)
{
$crumb_display = "<a href=\"{$key}\">{$value}</a>";
$crumb_display = implode(" - ", $crumbs);
}

return $crumb_display;
}


can anyone see where im going wrong?
