Placing loop inside array...

[webmasternovis]

Hey all...

I need to put a loop inside an array, but when I try this it won't work. Is it even possible to do this? My code is as follows...

$bar_data=array(
while ($row=mysql_Fetch_assoc($get))
{
                  $row[name] => 52,
}
               );

The error I get is:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_WHILE, expecting ')'...

Could anyone help me with this please? Is there another way I could use?

Thanks,
Mike

You don't need to put the while loop in the array. The snippet below (based on your version) doesn't seem correct though, since you obtain an array $row from the mysql_fetch_assoc() function and then add an index 'name' to each. Is that what should happen?

while ($row=mysql_Fetch_assoc($get)) 
{ 
                  $row['name'] => 52;
}

I think so, yeah...

I think it's more like

$bar_data=array();
while ($row=mysql_Fetch_assoc($get))
{
                  $bar_data[$row['name']] = 52;
}

Do you need to store a loop in an array to execute later or do you need to loop through the contents of an array?
