comma separated data in db - > array

[liquidskin]

I need to loop through my db and create strings from 2 columns on my db.

 

data in column1 is '22,33,33,33,25,25,25,14,14,14,14,14,14'

data in column2 is '11am,12pm,1pm,2pm,3pm,4pm,5pm,6pm,7pm,8pm,9pm,10pm, 11pm'

 

the end result I need is a string such as:

 

$body= "11am, 22 <line break> 12pm, 33 <line break> ......

 

If anyone has any examples of something like this or can get me started it would be much appreciated.

show us your code thus far

I feel like I'm getting close...

 

//   separate array values by comma and store
   for ( $i = 0; $i < $rowcount; $i += 1) {


$string1 = $precipData[$i];
$string2 = $hourData[$i];
$explode1[$i] = explode(",", $string1);  //precip
$explode2[$i] = explode(",", $string2);  //hours

$countHolder = $explode1[$i];

$countValuesInArray = count($countHolder);

// loop through # of values in array
 for ( $j = 0; $j < $countValuesInArray; $j += 1) {
$bodyBuild[$j] = $explode2[$i][$j]. "\n". $explode1[$i][$j];
}

}



$comma_separated = implode(",", $bodyBuild);
echo $comma_separated; 

 

this outputs " 9pm 40,10pm 40,11pm 40,12am 40,1am 40,2am 40,3am 40,4am 40,5am 40,6am 40,7am 40,8am 20,9am 20"

 

which is the last row in the db.  I need to store this for each row, plus I need the linebreak.

Something like this should work:

<?php
$col1 = explode(',','22,33,33,33,25,25,25,14,14,14,14,14,14');
$col2 = explode(',','11am,12pm,1pm,2pm,3pm,4pm,5pm,6pm,7pm,8pm,9pm,10pm,11pm');
$tmp = array();
foreach ($col2 as $i=>$v) {
     $tmp[] = $v . ',' .  $col1[$i];
}
$body = implode("<br>\n",$tmp) . "<br>\n";
echo $body;
?>
