[SOLVED] Help With Array

[tbone05420]

Hi All,

 

I am working with an array from a DB which is serialized.

 

I am able to unserialize it and load the array into a variable.

 

Now once I have it there, I am having trouble reading a certain value from the array.

 

I would also like to place another entry into the array, serialize it and place it back into the DB.

 

Here are the values in the array...

Array ( [1] => Array ( [shipping] => Custom shipping method [rates] => Array ( [0] => 25.45 ) [tracking_number] => 123456789[carrier] => FDX ) )

 

A) For example, how would I load the tracking number(123456789) into a variable $trackit

 

B) How would I insert a different tracking number back in. say 987654321, so I can in turn reserialize the array and update the DB.

 

I am not asking about the serializing or writing to the DB, just the array stuff.

 

Thanks,

TBone

well, if your variable name is var

$trackit = $var[1]['tracking_number'];

 

//then you could do what ever you want with trackit, when you want to update your array assuming you've edited trackit

$var[1]['tracking_number'] = $trackit;

 

 

is that what you mean?

I get it now...

 

I must have been having a bit of a brain f*rt or just too long of a day.

 

So for example to get the 25.45 you would use...

 

$myrate = $var[1]['rates'][0];

 

Is that correct?

 

Thanks for your help...
