Several integers passed through as an array's element

[LLeoun]

Hi all,

 

I have the following code:

 

<?php

$clientID="12";
$cityID="4";

$p = array('clientID'=> $clientID, 'cityID'=> $cityID, 'productsIDs'=> array('int'=>22,'int'=>63,'int'=>59));

    echo '<pre>';
    print_r($p);
    echo '</pre>';
?>

 

I need productsIDs, that is already one of the array's element, to be an array of 3 integers .. How can I do that?

 

Right now the output of the script above is:

 

Array
(
    [clientID] => 12
    [cityID] => 4
    [products] => Array
        (
            [int] => 59
        )

)

 

Where are the rest of the integers??

 

Thanks a ton in advance!

array('int'=>22,'int'=>63,'int'=>59));

 

 

the 'int' part is the index, so your are overwriting it each time you add the next number. just do

 

array(22,63,59));

Thanks Jibberish.

Could do, but is there any way to give a name to the second array (array(22,63,59)) so I can refer to it ..

Thanks again

Well you can still call them things inside that array, the indexs just have to be called different things so that it doesn't overwrite them.

 

<?php

$p = array('clientID'=> $clientID, 'cityID'=> $cityID, 'productsIDs'=> array('product1'=>22,'product2'=>63,'product3'=>59));
?>

 

 

If this doesnt answer your question post the code on how you want to read the products out of the array later on, this might help me see what you want to do and how you want them to be stored.

 

To read them currently you would do.

 

<?php
$p['productsIDs']['product1'];
$p['productsIDs']['product2'];
$p['productsIDs']['product3'];
?>

Why make yourself type all of that extra stuff?  You can refer to the array elements with the numbered index (starting at 0):

 

<?php
$p = array('clientID'=> $clientID, 'cityID'=> $cityID, 'productsIDs'=> array(22, 63, 59));
print_r($p);
/*Output:
Array
(
    [clientID] => 12
    [cityID] => 4
    [products] => Array
        (
            [0] => 22
            [1] => 63
            [2] => 59
        )

)
*/
?>

You can just do $p['productsIDs'][0], etc.[/code]
