Extract();

[elementaluk]

Hi,

i've read in the PHP manual that extract(); puts each item in an array into a varaible of its own which is named after the KEY...i got a lil prob...i dont think its doing this.

//////////////// REALLY BAD CODE \\\\\\\\
function get_config()
{
// script_config is set up like: id,c_variable,c_value,type
$configQ = "SELECT c_variable, c_value FROM script_config WHERE type='config'";
$configR=mysql_query($configQ) or die ("Couldn't Get Configuration Information From MySQL.<br>MySQL Says:" . mysql_error());
$configurationV = array();
while($configR0 = mysql_fetch_row($configR))
{
$configurationV["$configRO[0]"] = $configRO[1];
}
extract($configurationV, EXTR_PREFIX_SAME, "wddx"); mysql_free_result($configR);
}

lol its probably just one of my stupid mistakes.

Thanks

...uhh dont know what i did but it worked 😃.

code now::
// site_config is set up like: id,c_variable,c_value,type
$query = "SELECT c_variable, c_value FROM site_config WHERE type='config'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
check_mysql(); // custom mysql error function
$configurationV = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_row($result))
{
$configurationV["$row[0]"] = $row[1];
}
extract($configurationV, EXTR_PREFIX_SAME, "wddx");
mysql_free_result($result);
