PHP :: Adding Values Onto An Associative Array...

Values From Form Via Associative Array
I have a form which has a text field and a select box. There are many other fields also in the form . I need get the value of the text field or the select box, depending on which one has a value. Additionally it has to give the value only from the text field even if there is a selection made from the select box. I know that i can get post values from form like this: PHP Code:

Setting Values In Associative Array To 0
Ive tried almost every combination of while,foreach, key, value ,
array,0 I can some up with

Ive got an associative array that Ive been using as a counter
eg if (blah blah blah )
{$array['beans']++}
elseif (something else){$array['peas']++}
else {$array['carrots']++}

I then want to reset all the values to zero

foreach ($array as $key=>$value)
{ ??????? }
or array_walk ?

Adding New Values To An Array That Already Contains Values..
is it possible to append new values to an array that already has values in it??

say, i have my existing array;

existing array;
$array = array([66314] => 66314 , [66315] => 66315) ;

then , when i check my checkbox on my next page, the ids should be appended to the $array:

array that needs to be added to the $array;

$array = array([66316] => 66316,[66317] => 66317,[66318] => 66318);

how should it be done??

Adding Values To An Array
i have an array that gets filled by users hitting a FAVORITE button on 'product' pages. I can get one value, but the value doesn't stay after the page has refreshed... so i think I need to use Sessions but I have tried before and have always been unsuccessful... here is the code that displays the favorite product. PHP Code:

Adding Sums Of Array Values
I have two arrays:
('a'=>1,'b'=>3,'c'=>2,'d'=>6)
('a'=>2,'b'=>0,'c'=>4)

I need a very efficient function to add the values together for each element. For instance, the output would be an array:

('a'=>3,'b'=>3,'c'=>6,'d'=>6)

This function could potentially be used in billions of iterations, so it needs to be as efficient as possible.

Adding Values To A Superglobal Array
i have a variable (well, an Object) which is needed in beneath every Script.
it's not needed to be changed during the whole script, so i like to access
it easyli without passing by or declare it as global in every function.
afaik it isnt possible to set a variable to superglobal.
Is there any reason why i shouldn't add it to the _SERVER array or any other
superglobal?

Adding Dynamic Values To An Array
I am having a problem adding dynamic values to an array. The values that I want to add to the array are sent via a query string. The array is stored in a session.

the variables are sent like:

?var=test1
?var=test2

How can I send these variables to an array. I tried doing it like this:

$_SESSION['varList'] = '"'.$_SESSION['varList']'",'.$var;

but this only creates one entry in the array which is "test1","test2"

Adding Values To An Array In A Foreach Loop.
I am creating a function for my horse site that will choose the color of the horse. I have a database full of horse breeds and all the possible colors they can be.

Here is what the "color" column might hold for one of the horse breeds:
solid,paint The word "solid" can be a bunch of different colors...so I am trying to make my script add all these colors to an array I am populating that holds all the possible colors for that breed. Here is my current code for the function with comments to let you know what is going on Code:

Adding Elements To Associative Arrays
Im trying to generate an associative array from a query. I have tried this and many other combinations but it doesnt work. PHP Code:

Using The $value Of An Associative Array
I am using an associative array to populate one field of a form. I use the $key to obtain the numeric value I want to enter into one of my tables. I use the $value to display in nice text what the numeric key represents. I have no problem entering the $key into the table or displaying the $value on the form. My problem is in displaying the results of the processed form to the user:

My form "action" is "processform". In processform I do the INSERT query and return a message to the user. It is in the message to the user where my problem comes in. I've only captured the $key from the form. How can I capture also the $value from the form post, so that when I display to the user what he or she has chosen on the form, the nice text will display rather than the (to them) meaningless id number? Code:

Associative Array
I have to search a db table, and count distinct records to get some results from a survey we've done. The record needs to be echoed along with the number of times it is recorded. Each field in the table has to be searched individually, so that we can see the answers for each question separately.

I thought that I could do this with one query, maybe 'count distinct', but I couldn't get it to show both the value of the row, and the amount of times that value had been recorded.

So, I have to do 2 queries, one getting the distinct values of the field, the other counting how many times they are recorded. Here's the 2 queries: Code:

Associative Array
I have a list of word/number pairs. I need to retrieve the word that has the highest number associated with it.

I have put this list into an associative array...

$array['apple'] = ཈'
$array['orange'] = Ɖ'
$array['pear'] = ཮'

...and ordered it using arsort() so that "pear" in this case is the first value, then hit a brick wall when I realised that echoing $array[0] didn't work on an associative array. Indeed, why would it? :)

Is there a simple way to retrieve the top value after it's sorted, or do you always need to know the name of the key to manipulate associative arrays?

Else, do I need to look into multidimensional arrays? Something like...

$array[0] = array('apple' => ཈');
$array[1] = array('orange' => Ɖ');
$array[2] = array('pear' => ཮');

At which point, I'm not clear on how this would be sorted based on the values of the nested arrays, and how you would then specify to retrieve the key of the nested array of the first key of the original array!

Associative Array In Class
In PHP Version 4.3.6 I am trying get a value from a class member that
is an associative array...

class MyClass
{
$var row;

function MyClass()
{
$this->$row = array("A"=>"Apple", "B"=>"Bob");
echo "One: " . $this->$row["A"] . "<br>";
echo "Two: " . $this->row["A"] . "<br>";
$cache = $this->$row;
echo "Three: " . $cache ["A"] . "<br>";
}
}

But this is the output...

One: Array
Two:
Three: Apple

How can I get at the value of the associative array without making a
local copy first!

Array_push() With An Associative Array?
Is there a way to add a key/value pair to an associative array? I'm tryint to do this, but it dosn't work.

$author = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
array_push($author,$row[id],$row[name]);}

Associative Array Question - Newbie
I am in the process of designing (before coding) my first serious PHP/MySQL application and I have a question about the best way to store information.

The application will allow users to view the voting record of different legislators. I have concluded that the most efficient way to store the data is in two tables: one that has details about each legislator (mp) and another that has the details of each piece of legislation (bill). Each legislators record will have a field that holds info in an associative array in the form (bill ID, vote result). This way, when a new piece of legislation is added to the database, one more value pair (bill ID, vote result) will be added to each legislators voting record field.

My question is two part:

Is this the most efficient way to store the data?

and

I suspect I will have to be using regular expressions to extract and format the data from the MySQL query. Are there some PHP or MySQL functions or syntax I would find useful in this process of retrieving the data? Any online tutorials? (mysql_fetch_array appears to create an array out of two fields - not really what I am looking for...) I realize this is a rather vague question, but if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Make Associative Array Out Of String
I have a string that look something like this:

$string = "weight, kg|1200|width, mm|220|prize|20000";

and I would like it to an associative array and print keys and value:

weight, kg: 1200
width, mm: 220
prize: 20000

(The string above is fetched from a database)

Anyone have any bright ideas how to do it?

Sorting An Associative Array Of Objects By Value?
I'm trying to sort an array of objects within an object. Included is a
dumbed down example so that we can get at the meat of the issue without
worrying about complexity or validation. Basically, Funk is an object that
has a name (string) and a value(int). FunkThis represents an object
containing a list of Funks, with each key corresponding to the name of the
Funk. I want to sort this list by val, but I get a Warning: usort():
Invalid comparison function error when I run the script. Keep in mind that
this is for PHP 4

I'm open to suggestions to getting this to work.

<?php
class Funk {
var $name;
var $val;
function Funk($name,$val) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->val = $val;
}
function getVal() {
return $this->val;
}

function getName() {
return $this->name;
}
}

class FunkThis {
var $list;
function FunkThis() {
$this->list = null;
}
function add($funk) {
$this->list[$funk->getName()] = $funk;
}

function compareFunks($a,$b) {
$aVal = $a->getVal();
$bVal = $b->getVal();
if ($aVal == $bVal) return 0;
if ($aVal $bVal) return 1;
if ($aVal < $bVal) return -1;
}

function sortByFunk() {
$list = $this->list;
$this->list = uasort($list,"compareFunks");
}

function show() {
print_r($this->list);
}
}

$a = new Funk("A",3);
$b = new Funk("B",7);
$c = new Funk("C",1);
$d = new Funk("D",9);
$e = new Funk("E",6);

$funkthat = new FunkThis();

$funkthat->add($a);
$funkthat->add($b);
$funkthat->add($c);
$funkthat->add($d);
$funkthat->add($e);
$funkthat->sortByFunk();
$funkthat->show();
?>

[smarty] Addressing Associative Array
Given this assoc array:

$dtl_array[0]['uom_array'][0][0]='key1'
$dtl_array[0]['uom_array'][0][1]='value1'
$dtl_array[0]['uom_array'][1][0]='key2'
$dtl_array[0]['uom_array'][1][1]='value2'
$dtl_array[1]['uom_array'][0][0]='key3'
$dtl_array[1]['uom_array'][0][1]='value3'
$dtl_array[1]['uom_array'][1][0]='key4'
$dtl_array[1]['uom_array'][1][1]='value4'

$sample->assign("dtl_array",$dtl_array);
$sample->display();

How could I create a combobox out of $dtl_array in the templates?
The following does not work:

<select name="aname">
{section name=mm start=0 loop=$dtl_array.0.uom_array step=1}
<option value="{$dtl_array.0.uom_array.mm.0}">
{$dtl_array.0.uom_array.mm.1}
{/section}
</select>

How To Add An Element To The Middle Of An Associative Array ?
I got an array that consists of elements that are arrays also. Now I
wish I could add an element to the middle of it. Let mi give you an
example:

array (
- array(1,15,apple),
- array(2,28,banana),
- array(3,41,orange)
}

I would like to add, let's say, carrot on 2nd position:

array (
- array(1,15,apple),
- array(2,57,carrot),
- array(3,28,banana),
- array(4,41,orange)
}

Array_splice() does not work (or maybe i use it in a wrong way? - it
splits an adding element for, in that case, 3 elements). Array_push()
adds only to the end of an array. can samobody tell me how to add and
element to the middle of an associative array?

Sort An Associative Array Alphabetically
I am working on a product catalog where it displays a product type on a page via the type variable. The products should be displayed alphabetically by $make and $model and i couldn't find any snippets or info other than asort etc. Just curious if anyone else needed such a sort function and how they did it.

ie: product makes Maico, Madsen, Bio-logic etc and their models MA-300, Itera, AC-200. So I would have listings like Maico MA-300, Maico MA-800, Madsen Itera etc., and I need these alphabetical using make and model values. PHP Code:

How To Print A Multidimensional Associative Array?
I have the following associative array:

$user["john"]["mozilla"]=1;
$user["john"]["xmms"]=1;
$user["doe"]["mozilla"]=0;
$user["doe"]["office"]=1;
$user["paul"]["mozilla"]=0;
$user["paul"]["xmms"]=1;
$user["paul"]["office"]=1;

How can I print such an associative array using a loop statement like foreach?

XML Formatted String To Associative Array
I'm working on a php socket server for my chat room, and I need to parse some very short XML messages like this:

<msg t="usr"><body a="pubMsg" u="username"><![CDATA[some message]]></body></msg>

Right now I'm using a bunch of substrings (start laughing. lol), but it's very inflexible. However somehow it works...

The problem arises when I try to store user variables (ignore the indents and line brakes, in reality, there will be non of them; we don't want to waste bandwidth)

<msg t="usr">
<body a="updVar" u="username">
<var t="s" n="varname"><![CDATA[some variable]]></var>
<var t="n" n="someNum"><![CDATA[3]]></var>
</body>
</msg>

I have no idea how to parse those stuff from a string to an associative array... What I want is an associative array that I can access those stuff similar to this way:

echo myXML['firstChild']['firstChild']['firstChild']['attributes']['t'];

and it should output "s"

PHP Stops Processing On Multidimensional Associative Array
When using a multidimensional associative array to cross-reference data
in a second, single-dimensional array, PHP stops processing data after
a few iterations. Memory usage according to the task manager doesn't
seem to spike and CPU usage only gets as high as 11 to 13 percent. A
sample script is provided below, any help or alternative solutions are
welcome. (By the way, the script below works fine on Linux with the
same version of Apache and PHP. Possibly a PHP configuration issue?)

Sorting An Associative Multi-Dimensional Array
I would like to sort array below using the last array of a multi-dimensional array. PHP Code:

Printing Out An Associative Array - Whats Wrong?
I have this code segment:

$query = "Select * from Payments order by CustID";
..
.. /* execute the query */
..
if (ora_exec($cursor))
{
$recordset=array();
while (ora_fetch_into($cursor,$recordset,ORA_FETCHINTO_N ULLS|
ORA_FETCHINTO_ASSOC))
{
echo $recordset["CustID"]."<BR>";
echo $recordset["Amount"]."<BR>";
}
}

Gives me the following error
Notice: Undefined index: CustID
Notice: Undefined index: Amount

The table Payments has only CustID and Amount as attributes. is my
usage of the array offset incorrect?

Complex Associative Array To XML FIle And Back
We're using php 4.1 and it doesn't seem to have built in support for
this. Coming from a dotnet background this surprised me...Anyways,
thats a different topic altogether...

I'm looking for a php class that can allow me to save a complex
associative array as an xml file on our server and also be able to read
in back into a complex array when needed. (you'll find an example of
the array below). Because of the complexity if the array, I feel it
would be easier to use this method as opposed to saving to a db.

I know i could write a class to do it, but I'm trying not to reinvent
the wheel. Googleing only refers me to extentions like pear which I
dont want. And I 'm sure someone else has had to do this before.

ODBC: Fetch Results As Associative Array
Will PHP fetch the results of a query using ODBC as an associative array? I know that MySQL does that, but I couldn't find it for ODBC connections.

POST (or GET) Associative Array To Script From Form
Actually thought I understood this but I can't seem to make it happen this morning, and I can't seem to find a clear simple reference here.

Can I pass an associative array from a form (using either POST or GET) to a .php script all at once, in one simple step?

ie. Say I have the following variable/associative array

$graphtable = Array ( [TESTPHASE] => G085 [GRADE] => 3 [0_LE_1_A] => 0 [1_LE_1_A] => 7 [2_LE_1_A] => 28 [3_LE_1_A] => 22 [4_LE_1_A] => 7 [null_LE_1_A] => 0 [PROTOCOLS] => 64 )

And I pass it as a hidden variable in the following form: ....

Adding Different Values
How can I do If I need to add some values, I am using LEFT Join and I am displaying some lists There is my code: PHP Code:

Basic Question - Adding Values
I have a form that contains radio button groups. Each group is assigned a name and each radio button has a numerical value (1,2,3, etc). I want to total the values from each group and forward it to another page which displays that total.

How do I use PHP to take the value from each button group and add them? I can pass each individual answer to the second page ok, I'm just having difficulty totaling those values.

Adding Values In One Column From Query Results
I have this query:

SELECT *,
sum(field_value) as totalValue
FROM table_name
WHERE field_id = $id
GROUP BY field_group

the data type of field value is a decimal value, with values such as 125.00 and 150.50 stored in each record. My goal is to have totalValue be the total value of those numbers. So if I have two records that equal 125.00 and 150.50 totalValue would = 175.50.

the above query does not do this. What do I need to change here? Should I try to do this from the PHP side?

Adding Additonal Values From Forms To The Top Of The Action Page
I have form on multiple pages with one text input and two hidden fields.

When the user submits the form, they are taken to:

/actionpage.php?input=x&hidden1=y&hidden2=z

On the action page there is a third party JavaScript that I can not change that requires the two hidden fields.

I am wondering if I can setup something at the top of the action page that establishes the two hidden fields, allowing me to take them off from all my pages while still allowing the third party script to work.

Selecting Array Rows Based On An Array Of Field=>values
Here's the code i have:

$db = array(); //main array
$db['main'] = array(); //table `main`
$db['main'][] = array('id'=>0,
'username'=>'joshfrench','userpass'=>'password','userlevel'=>'admin');
//row
$db['main'][] = array('id'=>1,
'username'=>'bob_smith','userpass'=>'psswrd','userlevel'=>'user');
//row

function trim_value(&$value){
$value = strtolower(trim($value));
}
function fdb_select($fields = "*", $table, $where = false, $limit =
false){
global $db;
$retv = $db[$table];

//LIMIT RESULTS TO FIELDS
if(strrpos($fields, ",") === false){$field=array($fields);}else{$field
= explode(",", $fields);};
array_walk($field, "trim_value");
$all_fields = array_keys($retv[0]);
if($fields == '*'|| is_null($fields)){$field = $all_fields;};
$field = array_uintersect($all_fields, $field, "strcasecmp");
$retvi = array();
foreach($retv as $num =$row){
foreach($row as $fname =$fvalue){
$fname1 = strtolower($fname);
if(in_array($fname1, $field)){
$retvi[$num][$fname]=$fvalue;
};
};
};
//DONE LIMITING TO FIELDS
if($where != false){

//UP TO HERE IT WORKS FINE
//LIMIT TO WHERE CLAUSE
$retvj = array();
foreach($retvi as $num =$row){
//IN THE ROW
foreach($where as $k =$v){
//IF ROW MEETS ALL REQUIREMENTS
if($row[$k] == $v){
$retvj[] = $retvi[$num]; //Keep that row

Modifying Values In An Array And Then Putting Them In A New Array
How do i get values out of an array, modify them and then put them back into a new array.
I have tried using a foreach to get the values out and to edit them but i don't know how to get them into a new array. Here's the code:

Adding Array Value
I need to find if 2 array contains same value, if so then add their count values. For example, I have the below array. I have to add 'count' of array 0 and array 1 because the 'url' is the same (open). I have to also add 'count' of array 2 and array 3 because the 'url' is the same. Code:

Adding To An Array
You know how you can do this:

array("#ff0000","#ff8800","#0022ff","#33ff33")

Well how could i set it up so that in a while statement it adds to the array? And if its possible how can i make it add a random color (#ff0000 etc.);
Any ideas?

Adding Onto Array Login.
I have a login screen (login.html) that posts to login.php which confirms if the username is valid or not then redirects them to welcome.php. Without making a cookie, is there anyway I can maintain the username they typed in and use it in welcome.php? I tried doing anther form action = "welcome.php" in the login.php page with no luck. Maybe I am just doing it wrong...help? It can be viewed here.

Adding Data To An Array
I'm trying to make a simple shopping basket script, but am a little unsure of the best way to do it. I want an array where items can be added/removed with a simple form and displayed as a list, but I'm a little unsure how to go about doing it. Code:

Adding To Multidimensional Array
I'm realtively new to PHP and I'm trying to get my head around a particular issue. I've got an array that looks like this:

$field_array = array (
array (field=>"dist_Company", type=>"text"),
array (field=>"dist_Active", type=>"select", options=>array(array(oname=>"yes", oval=>"1"), array(oname=>"no", oval=>"0"))),
array (field=>"dist_CompanyID", type=>"select"),
array (field=>"dist_Shipping", type=>"text")
);

What I'm trying to figure out is how to add to this array after it's been defined. In this case I'm trying to add the "options" subarray to dist_CompanyID element so that it has options similar to those predefined in the dist_Active element.

I can do it if I specify the index like this:

$field_array[2]['options'][] = array(oname=>"one", oval=>"1");
$field_array[2]['options'][] = array(oname=>"two", oval=>"2");
$field_array[2]['options'][] = array(oname=>"three", oval=>"3");

Is there some elegant way to find the index number for the element containing field=>"dist_CompanyID"?

Adding Only Unique Items To An Array
I've made a small code snippet that adds a new item ($value = $_GET) to an array in a cookie. My main question is in the title of the post, and I have a related one: How do I delete a specific value from the array and shift all the other values down to fill its place? Will this happen on its own? And one more: Using this code I display the array values in descending order;

foreach ($_COOKIE['best'] as $name => $value) {
$best = urlencode($value);
echo //insert code here
}
}

Is there any way to display this in ascending order?

Dynamically Adding To Multidimensional Array

I want this array to be the value of an asssoc. array $results[$i]
$results[$i] =$temparray doesnt work
$results[$i] =$temparray[] doesnt work
$results[$i][] =$temparray doesnt work
$results[$i] =>$temparray doesnt work

then $i++;

so what does ?

Adding A Custom Object To An Array
Anyone have any idea what im doing wrong here:

$image = new Image();
$image->SetImageContent($imageRow['imageContent']);
$image->SetFileSize($imageRow['fileSize']);
$image->SetFileName($imageRow['fileName']);
$image->SetImageId($imageRow['imageId']);
$image->SetParentImageId($imageRow['parentId']);
$image->SetFileType($imageRow['fileType']);
$image->SetImageHeight($imageRow['height']);
$image->SetImageWidth($imageRow['width']);
$image->SetIsThumbnail($imageRow['isThumb']);
$this->mImages[$this->mImageCount] = $image;

where Image is a custom class and mImages is an array declared as
follows:
$this->mImages = array();

Whats happening is im executing this function
function GetImage($imageIndex)
{
return $this->mImages[$imageIndex];

}

and then trying to call a member function on the returned value
i.e.
$image = $album->GetImage(1);
$imageId = $image->GetImageId();

and im getting this error" Fatal error: Call to a member function on a
non-object in
/home/flyerweb/public_html/ImageManipulator/POCPages/DisplayAllImagesInAlbum.php

Searching Through String, Adding Certain Elements Into Array?
I'm having some difficulty searching through a string, and adding to an array at the same time, this is my string: and basically what I want to do is only add the img src's to my array, and only the one's that are before the first 2  's.

Does anyone have a quick solution for this, I've tried many different ways using preg_match_all() but havent managed to get it right.

Array Query - For Adding Alt Text To Multiple Image Upload Form
I've set up a form for uploading multiple images and I am writing the urls to a database, which is queried and outputs the images on a web page.

Code:

Comparing Array Values
I'm developing a database that holds information about crew members. There are 7 categories of service types. Crew members can be associated with any number of categories.

I'm working on an update form to add or delete categories for a crew member. I first issued a query to find the member's categories. I issued a second query to list all possible categories. I want to show a checkbox for any possible categories that aren't in the member's individual category list. If the member is in categories 1 and 2, but not in 3 or 4, I want to show a checkbox for categories 3 and 4.

I can get the two category lists to print, but I can't figure out how to compare them.

Here is the code I have for the select statements:

Generates the list of member categories:
$cat_query = "SELECT crew_category.crew_id, crew_category.category_id, category.category_desc
FROM crew_category, category
WHERE crew_category.crew_id = "$crew_id" and crew_category.category_id = category.category_id";

$cat_result = mysql_query($cat_query);

Generates the list of all possible categories:
$all_cat_query = "SELECT category_id
