Use PHP Array with SQL Query?

Recommended Posts

I'm using a web service call, my response comes back as an array:


stdClass Object ( [contractVehicle] => Array ( [0] => ITSchedule70 [1] => ITCommodityProgram ) )


I then need to hand this response off to anther developer who needs to know that "ITSchedule70" is the selected Contract Vehicle (actually there could be more than one, this only returns one for now), so he can insert it into a SQL query against a MySQL database (to match "Products" with the right "Contract Vehicle".

 

So basically how do I do that? How to wrap it up and send it off, and how to insert a query?

Hand to "another developer"... how? Are you going to print it out on a piece of paper and send it to them through the mail? Or maybe hire one of those airplanes that flies around cities trailing a banner? Because you have a PHP object right now and I can't figure that's very far from what you actually need.

More clarification:

 

Evertime the user submits the form, I'm making a call to the web service. So it might return 0=>'ITSchedule70'  or   1=>'ITCommodityProgram'  or   2=>'OtherContractVehicle'

 

I've got 4 contract vehicles.

 

Based on that returned contract vehicle, I need to use that as a WHERE criteria to return results from a Products table.

 

So like:

 
SELECT * FROM `product` WHERE `contact_vehicle_id` = 2
 
So the important point is the WHERE needs to be dynamic, because on the fly.

Well, if I use the term "ITSchedule70" in the query, that seems to defeat the whole purpose. Everytime the form is submitted, the web service call will return a different contract vehicle. "ITSchedule70" is one of many.

 

I believe I need to pass a variable in the WHERE criteria, so the SQL query doesn't have to be written each time.

 

Not sure, perhaps I'm thinking of this the wrong way? Or missing something fundemental?

 

Does that make sense?

I think you are missing something.

 

Yes, you need something variable in the query. Presumably the ITSchedule70 thing. Of course you can't write it directly in the query.

But for you, just for now, write it directly in the query, okay? When all that works you can worry about using a variable or whatever.
