Hey guys I have the following script that correctly retrieves 2 values from mysql: security_code and selected_address:

The problem I have, is how can I add the retrieved values (more than 1 row) inside an array called $data

 

$data = array();
$result = mysql_query("SELECT security_code, selected_address FROM purchase WHERE purchase_id = '412012' AND selected_address = 'General Roca 900' ORDER BY `offers_bought`.`security_code` ASC"); 
$cant = 0; 
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
array_push($data[$row['selected_address']], $row['security_code']);
        $cant++;
}

 

The array_push function gives me the following error:

Warning: array_push() [function.array-push]: First argument should be an array in C:\wamp\www\Test\test\excelTest.php on line 24

 

In other words this is want I want to achieve:

$data = array(array("selected_address" => $row['security_code']));

Only that this example adds only 1 retrieved row

 

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Why are you using array_push? I do not think it is relevant for your scenario:

 

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$data[$row['selected_address']] = $row['security_code'];
        $cant++;
}

 

Is what I think you are looking to do.

First of all thanks a lot for your help guys!

 

Premiso your exactly right! That is what I want to achieve.

The problem that I am having now is coming from the function I have, to export this array to excel, please if you have time take a look:

 

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$data[$row['selected_address']] = $row['security_code'];
}

function cleanData(&$str)
  {
    $str = preg_replace("/\t/", "\\t", $str);
    $str = preg_replace("/\r?\n/", "\\n", $str);
    if(strstr($str, '"')) $str = '"' . str_replace('"', '""', $str) . '"';
  }

  # filename for download
  $filename = "website_data_" . date('Ymd') . ".xls";

  header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
  header("Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel");

  $flag = false;
  foreach($data as $row) {
    if(!$flag) {
      # display field/column names as first row
      echo implode("\t", array_keys($row)) . "\n";
      $flag = true;
    }
    array_walk($row, 'cleanData');
    echo implode("\t", array_values($row)) . "\n";
  }
  exit;

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
