kenrbnsn, awesome! Thank you! Works perfectly :)

Thorpe, thank you. Now what happens if I'm already using ob on the page. Is there another way to loop the array contents into a string as Key -> Value without using objects? Thanks again.

Hi. I'm looking to store the string printed by either var_dump(), var_export() or printr() into a new non-array variable for quick sending of email. Any ideas? Also, is there such a thing as a "Pretty" Variable Dump? Maybe a loop that would store the array in a pretty string format? It's not important enough that it needs to be formatted to look nice, but there is a lot of information coming from the form. Thanks so much!

wow, none of those worked. I extracted a small amount of code to run the query outside of the main script it was located in: [code] <? $user = array ('jallen' => 'Jim Allen', 'mmessmer' => 'Mike Messmer', 'sshowalter' => 'Scott Showalter', 'dmartin' => 'Dean Martin', 'krea' => 'Kathy Rea', 'mshaffer' => 'Mike Shaffer', 'kjenkins' => 'Ken Jenkins', 'webmaster' => 'Annonymous Someone'); $username = 'mshaffer'; $name = $user[$username]; echo $name; ?> [/code] And as it turns out, the no-quotes method works fine. The problem I found was in that the part of the script generating the $name variable came [i]after[/i] the script calling it. Doh! But this script is huge, and so it was hard to see that at first. Thanks for coming together with all sorts of ideas. I definately learned something new! (the variable variables concept, with may come in handy down the road. :-D Thanks again!

I tried it with single quotes, double quotes and no quotes to no avail before I posted the topic. Nothing seemed to work. the array will contain a value "Full Name" from a key of "flastname" (first initial and lastname). But the form will only send the key as the variable, not the value. It's chosen from a drop down list.

I swear I did this before, using some method or another. I need to execute code similar to this: [code] <?   $username = $_POST['assoc'];   $name = $user['$username'];   echo "$name"; ?> [/code] Simple enough. Also, is there a way to reverse lookup an array value from a key, or a key from a value? Thanks!

Works beautifully. I will gleen from it. Barand, you rock!

Hey, I'm looking for a [b][i]simple[/i][/b] script that generates the next few Tues/Thurs pair combinations and stores them in a numbered array. Simple enough? For example: If today is Monday the 13, array[1] = Tuesday14, array[2] = Thursday16, etc I would like to have this rule: if today is Tuesday already, start with the next Thursday, and vice-versa. They will be echoed in a loop that generates a drop down box in a form such as: [code]    <select name="select">       <option value="tues14">Tuesday</option>       <option value="thurs16">Thursday</option>       < ... etc ... >     </select> [/code] Hoping you can point me along in the direction of simple coding, as something I'd come up with would to too over-coded and would probably take forever to render. Thanks so much!

I know Image Magick has the -monochrome function, is there anything like this in GD? What about a colorize function to convert black and white to color?

Hey, I'm building a 'build-a-label' type system in PHP using GD2/ImageMagick type functions. What I'm looking for is a function (preferably in GD2, since I'm used to those functions) that would convert a (colored) logo to black and white, and/or a (colored or black and white) logo to a monochromatic specified color, such as red or blue. I appreciate all help on this so much! Thanks :)

I'm looking for a good comparison of the two, other than the basic facts (ie. MySQL more widely available, etc). I notice that the people who use postgreSQL really like it and seem pretty dedicated to it. But I notice there isn't many people who frequent the postgreSQL forum on this site, so I decided to post in here to get a larger audience. What are some unique functions of either postgreSQL or MySQL that the other doesn't have? Basically, what could I do with one that I can't do with the other.

Well, I've managed to get it to work. I restructured the query to use the numbers in the primary key, rather than the referrer column. Here's the new posted code: [!--PHP-Head--][div class=\'phptop\']PHP[/div][div class=\'phpmain\'][!--PHP-EHead--] [span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]<? [/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]require_once([/span][span style=\"color:#DD0000\"]\"/home/novav2/mysql_connect.php\"[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]); [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]$mon [/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]= [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]date[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]([/span][span style=\"color:#DD0000\"]\'M\'[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]); [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]$ref [/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]= [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]1[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]; [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]$query [/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]= [/span][span style=\"color:#DD0000\"]\"UPDATE conversion_tracking SET $mon=$mon+1 WHERE cpc_id=\'$ref\' LIMIT 1\"[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]; [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]$result [/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]= @[/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]mysql_query[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]([/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]$query[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]) or die ([/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]mysql_error[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]()); if (@[/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]mysql_affected_rows[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]() == [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]1[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]) { echo [/span][span style=\"color:#DD0000\"]\" Done.\"[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]; } else { echo [/span][span style=\"color:#DD0000\"]\"Go!\"[/span][span style=\"color:#007700\"]; } [/span][span style=\"color:#0000BB\"]?> [/span] [/span][!--PHP-Foot--][/div][!--PHP-EFoot--] So I guess MySQL is really picky when you're using $variables and stuff like that.

Yeah, I put those in a few days ago, and I haven't removed them.

I have added the error checking statements and no errors are reported because the queries go through just fine. It's the mysql_affected_rows function that isn't working, and how can I throw a die statement in an if statement? Also, the $mon is a variable that holds the current month in mmm for (ex: oct). So the query takes oct and increments it (oct=oct+1) -> ($mon=$mon+1) Thanks

The error is actually a warning: Warning: mysql_affected_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/novav2/public_html/pages/php_mysql_testing.php on line 15 But it's still not echoing "Done." when it updates the db. I may need this function to work, so all help is appreciated greatly. The db connection script is at the server root. It works. What if I changed that link to an include instead of a require? What's the difference?
