fuction with array value question.

[dark-angel]

well i dont know how to use a function that more then one array for a variable ex:

function verflogin($table, $row);

• ok $table means table to select, $row means witch to use, i creat a file where all the arrays are stored in where user modifie at wile.

now how do i creat the funtion so when i use 2 rows for the variable $row uses them both to connect to database. here are example of the arrays i want to use, $tb[login] this goes for $table, for $row i want to use $login[user] and $login[pass].

after that i need to solve how to creat a fuction to connect to database that can be use by any fuction wich is same problem as above.

function connect($dbname, $tbname, $row)

and if any one got a good login validator to post it pleas and explain how it works, cause im perplex to certain stuff that poeple code, why you put this and that. if you have any question ask them.

basically:
you can pass arrays as wenn as flat variables

function verflogin($table, $row)

-> $table can be an array, too.

in the function itself you'll need to check whether it's an array or not that comes along, see is_array().

regarding db connection function:
what you describe is a db_query abstraction function, ie a function that receives a database login and password as well as an sql statement (or parts of it) and returns only the field contents.
search for database abstraction functions in the code area.

I made good experience with a simple function like this included in my scripts:

$DBNAME = "xxx";
$HOSTNAME = "xxx.yyy.zzz";

function db_query($sql)
{
global $DBNAME, $HOSTNAME;

    $conn = pg_connect("host=$HOSTNAME dbname=$DBNAME");

    $stmt = pg_exec($conn, $sql);
    $rows = array();
    $result = array();

    $num = pg_numrows($stmt);

    for($i=0; $i<$num; $i++)
    {
            $result = pg_fetch_row($stmt, $i);
            $rows[$i] = $result;
            $result = array();
    }

    pg_close($conn);

    return $rows;

}

this is an example that works for postgres. give it an sql select statement, and it will return a 2-dim. array containing n records with m fields each.

hope you can start with this.
