[RESOLVED] set variable based on array item

[edented]

Hi-

I have a variable ($content) that is inserted multiple times into a mysql database using a foreach loop from an array.

I am now trying to set its value ($content) based on items in an array ($ar_propnames).

For some reason i only get the last array item inserted. When i comment out all the if clauses, i get 10 (but all with the same $content value)

Is there something simple i'm missing?
I hope this is clear..

Thanks

$content = "some text from a form";

$ar_propnames = array ("content_en", "target", "image", "thumbnail", "extra1", "extra2", "extra3", "searchable", "pagedata", "disable_wysiwyg");

foreach ($ar_propnames as $prop_value) {

if ($prop_value = "image") $content ="-1" ;
if ($prop_value = "thumbnail") $content ="-1" ;
if ($prop_value = "disable_wysiwyg") $content ="0" ;
if ($prop_value = "searchable") $content ="1" ;
if ($prop_value = "extra1") $content ="" ;
if ($prop_value = "extra2") $content ="" ;
if ($prop_value = "extra3") $content ="" ;
if ($prop_value = "target") $content ="" ;
if ($prop_value = "pagedata") $content ="" ;

## then goes on to mysql_query to check update or insert

= assigns a value, == evaluates equality.

Try this code instead (it should achieve the same thing):

$content = "some text from a form";

$ar_propnames = array ("content_en", "target", "image", "thumbnail", "extra1", "extra2", "extra3", "searchable", "pagedata", "disable_wysiwyg");

foreach($ar_propnames as $prop_value)
{
    switch($prop_value)
    {
        case 'image':
        case 'thumbnail':
            $content = '-1';
        break;

    case 'disable_wysiwyg':
        $content = '0';
    break;

    case 'searchable':
        $content = '1';
    break;

    case 'extra1':
    case 'extra2':
    case 'extra3':
    case 'target':
    case 'pagedata':
    default:
        $content = '';
    break;
}

/* then goes on to mysql_query() to check update or insert */
}
