Question about arrays...

DeltaRho2K

Is it possible to use a field name as the key of an array?

In other words, I don't want to use this type of result:

$resultarray[0];

Instead, I wante to use the field name like so:

$resultarray['UserName'];

(Assuming the returned index of 0 is the field name called UserName)

I have been looking at the various array functions in the offline manual, and have a lot of good examples, but none of the examples really discuss using variables in arrays. I am pretty sure it can be done, but not exactly sure how to go about defining the key with the array index.

I believe that you can do that.

Hey Batman, do I need to add any code to assign the key, or is the field name automatically assigned to the key by default? (That is unless you define a different key value)

Anyhow, I am going offline (big headache), so I am going to get rest, give it some thought, and keep playing with different things to see what works...

Nevermind, I couldn't think of exactly how to ask for what I was looking for, but I figured it out... Sorry if my question sounded stupid... What I wanted wasn't as easy as just a fetch_array type result. Thanks anyhow.

Well...you would set it up something like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="var[1]" value="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="var[2]" value="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" name="var[3]" value="checkbox">

That will set up an array var with the values 1,2, and 3.

Hope that helps. 🙂
