[SOLVED] Getting variables from arrays

[Masca]

Hi.  I would be extremely grateful for some help with an array.  I have searched for the answer, but I can't find an example where the array looks quite like mine.  Sadly, I think I'm just being a bit think...!!!

 

Anyway, my array, which has been created as a result of a MySQL query, when printed (print_r) looks like this:

 

Array ( [type] => type1 [count] => 10 ) Array ( [type] => type2 [count] => 20 )

 

I need to create two variables: $type1=10 and $type2=20.  How can I do this?

 

Thank you very much!

$arr = array(your array here)

 

foreach($arr as $var){

 

$all .= $var;

}

 

echo $all;

Sounds like you're trying to do this...

 

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   $$row['type'] = $row['count'];
}

Thanks but i finally found it, it was a foreach() loop. Thats what I wanted.

Heh yea it was too simple, you were thinking mysql, it was just simple loop.

thanks anyways!

$arr = array(your array here)

 

foreach($arr as $var){

 

$all .= $var;

}

 

echo $all;

that would just create a long string comprised of all the values from the array.

Thank you - that did it!  It was the double $ (i.e.: $$row) that caught me out.  Thanks again, and thanks to the other posters too.
