array

[scuba]

how come when I do this:
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
$Fname = $row["Fname"];
$Lname = $row["Lname"];
$Email = $row["Email"];
$Country = $row["Country"];
$Username = $row["Username"];
$Disabled = $row["Disabled"];

$info[$count][0] = $Fname;
$info[$count][1] = $Lname;
$info[$count][2] = $Email;
$info[$count][3] = $Country;
$info[$count][4] = $Username;
$info[$count][5] = $Disabled;

$count++;
}
$max = "$count";
echo("$max");
$count = "0";

echo("$info[$count][0]");
echo("$info[$count][1]");
echo("$info[$count][2]");
echo("$info[$count][3]");
echo("$info[$count][4]");
echo("$info[$count][5]");

I get :
5Array[0]Array[1]Array[2]Array[3]Array[4]Array[5]

How come it won't give me the actual values here?

Don't put quotes around variable names.
It is a very very bad habit that people don't seem to be able to give up.
Inside quotes, PHP does not see the [] brackets and thus only prints the $info, which is an array.

Thanks, that works for setting the array, but in my echo statement, I still get array[0] array[1] etc...

is this because of the quotes at the beginning and end of the echo statement? If so, how do I get around that?

hi Steve,

how about:
echo $info[$count][0];
echo $info[$count][1];
echo $info[$count][2];
echo $info[$count][3];
echo $info[$count][4];
echo $info[$count][5];

greetings

print doesn't need quotes, try using that...

ie

<?
print HelloWorld;
?>

just do make it complete 🙂

$sInfoValue='';
foreach($info[$count] as $arrCurrentInfo)
{
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$sInfoValue.=$arrCurrentInfo;
}
echo $sInfoValue;

Woops, that's not right.

EVERY string MUST be quoted.

Note the word 'string', NOT variables. PHP let's you quote variables, because so many programmers are too lazy to use concatenation.

This:

echo HelloWorld;

Works, but only because PHP assumes you meant to use a constant called 'HelloWorld' that contains 'HelloWorld'.
It is NOT proper PHP. (set the error_reporting(E_ALL) and see what PHP really thinks of this)

Hmmm, well personally I use quotes (and echo come to that), but well, I guess I was warned the book had lots of errors!
