Arrays in PHP(need help urgent)

mandarchalke29

Dear sir,

    I have used an array for storing the values but i think it is initializing the array again and again. I am making an application in php in which when a user clicks any other user his particular id gets picked up in an variable and i am putting that value in an array but i want to to append an array means the previous value remains as it is.

I am using this code.

$counter1=$_GET['number'];
if($counter1==1)
{
$numberid=array();
$numberid[$counter1]=$user;
}
else
$numberid[$counter1]=$user;

print_r($numberid);

Please help me.😕

while ($rows = mysql_fetch_array($result_select_all))
// used to fetch values one by one
{
$my_array[] = $rows; // used to append
}

return $my_array;

If you are in index page of this forum click the topic in which you wanted to post your query. E.g. there are so many options on the index page like general help, coding. after clicking it just press New thread button on that page. You will find the form to post a new query.:p

Dear madam,

it's not working properly because you're resetting the $numberid array every check.
Put $numberid=array(); outside your first if statement, like so.

$numberid=array();
$counter1=$_GET['number'];
if($counter1==1) {
  $numberid[$counter1]=$user;
}
else {
  $numberid[$counter1]=$user;
}
print_r($numberid);

$numberid=array();
$counter1=$_GET['number'];
if($counter1==1) {
$numberid[$counter1]=$user;
}
else {
$numberid[$counter1]=$user;
}
print_r($numberid);

I have done this one previously. But the problem is that the file in which i have put this code is getting called again and again since when a single user wants to chat with two different people then this file gets called everytime. So everytime when i click it will initialise the array again. and start from zeroth element.

What other way can i use? please help me.
:rolleyes:

You'll want to look into sessions, mandar, if you're wanting to store the information from multiple page views. You'll basically take that numberid = array(); and make it a session variable array instead:

session_start();
$numberid = $_SESSION['number_id'];
...

Then every page you need to reference them on, you'd do something similar to this:

session_start(); // this should be at the top of the page
$numberid = $_SESSION['number_id'];
...
echo $numberid[4]; // fourth user they've selected, or whatever

Read up on sessions at the PHP manual
