Array MySQL row data

[JClark]

Hi all, 

 

So, I need a little help with something I'm trying to script. I'm the script : http://phpmygraph.abisvmm.nl/ to try display some data I have in a MySQL database.

 

What I want the output to be is the below :

$data = array( 
            'time' => players, 
            'time' => players, 
            'time' => players, 
        ); 

I'm trying to create an array from 2 rows of data, which I've tried to code some below. (not complete to how I want it).

 

As the example above, essentially I need 'time' to be the variable $row['time'] and 'players' to be the variable $row['players'].

 

Is there some way to create the array within the white() function, or alternatively run the while function within the array?

	$date = date("Y-m-d");
	$id = $_GET['id']; // @ will stop error if id is empty 
	$dataarray = array();
	$mysql_query  = "SELECT * FROM stats WHERE `serverid`='{$id}' ORDER BY time LIMIT 7";
    $mysql_result = mysql_query($mysql_query) or die(mysql_error());
	
	while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result)){
	$arrayplayers = $row['players'];
	$arraytime = $row['time'];
	$array = "'$arraytime'=>$arrayplayers";
	

Help much appreciated.

 

Cheers

If you are wanting to group all players that have the same time into an array. Then you can do.

$data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result))
{
    // create a new array
    if(!isset($data[ $row['time'] ]))
        $data[ $row['time'] ] = array();

    // add player to array
    $data[ $row['time'] ][] = $row['players'];
}

// output the array to see what is stored
printf('<pre>%s</pre>', print_r($data, 1));

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I've just given the code a test. The array that returns is :

Array
(
    [10:00] => Array
        (
            [0] => 5
        )

    [11:00] => Array
        (
            [0] => 8
        )

    [12:00] => Array
        (
            [0] => 12
        )

)

I need to get the array to appear in the same format as below:

array( 
            'time' => players, 
            'time' => players, 
            'time' => players, 
        ); 

Thanks for the help in advanced, it's much appreciated!

Try it and see if the data is stored in the format you want.

 

If it is not you'll need to give us some example data from your database and then an example of how you want to store that data into an array.

Thanks for the response. I edited my post just as you replied!

If there is only one player to a time then you change the while loop to just

$data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($mysql_result))
{
     $data[ $row['time'] ] = $row['players'];
}

Which will give you this array for $data

Array
(
    [10:00] => 5
    [11:00] => 8
    [12:00] => 12
)

Fantastic! That's exactly what I needed to know.

 

Everything is working perfectly.

 

Essentially a cron job runs every hour storing stats to the time, and with the array the script passes the data to a php graph generator and thus shows a graph of the data I require,

 

Many thanks!!
