Loop and assign value to variable

[denoteone]

I know if actionscript you can loop through and assign values to variables and just increment a number in the variable name like so.....  Is this possible in php

 

$result = clientTestimonial();
					$i = 0;
 					while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

					$company_$i = $row['company'] ;
					$name_$i  =    $row['name'] ;
					$teaser_$i =  $row['teaser'] ;
					$i++
					}

wow i have been working to long today. I conveniently forgot about arrays... Now just to get the syntax correct

[JAY6390]

$rows = array();
while($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
    $rows[] = $row;
}

 

You can then access any of the company info using

$rows[0]['company']

for example (changing the 0 depending on the offset)

Generating a list of sequentially numbered variables to hold a set of same type data is never a good idea. Once you have created them, you need extra logic to keep track of them and iterate over the correct number of them.

 

Arrays should be used when you have a set of same type data, that's what array data structures are for.
