PHP array into a select list

[loxfear]

nothing gets put into the select list

<?php
include 'sqlconnect.php';

$data = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    $data[$row['id']] = array(
        'title' => $row['title'],
        'pris'  => $row['pris'],
    );
} ?>

<select name="country">
<option value="">-----------------</option>
<?php
foreach($data as $key => $value):
echo '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</option>'; //close your tags!!
endforeach;
?>
</select>

how do i get this to work-?

Does your real code have a query? As the code stands, $result is undefined.

 

Have you tried turning on all PHP errors? To do that, you could add the following to your PHP script:

 

<?php
//REPORT ALL PHP ERRORS
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
?>

Assuming $result is a valid MySQL result set (with records) you would get crap for output.

 

In this loop you are storing the records into a multi-dimensional array with the id as the index and then TWO values in the sub-array.

$data = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
    $data[$row['id']] = array(
        'title' => $row['title'],
        'pris' => $row['pris'],
);
}

You then loop through that array as follows:

foreach($data as $key => $value):
    echo '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</option>'; //close your tags!!
endforeach;

$value with be the subarray - but you are trying to echo it out. Do you want to echo out 'title' or 'pris' or some concatenation of the two?

what i need is an array with arrays inside, i want to be able to select the arrays inside the array, and when that is selected i want the data in that to be shown,

but for now, i need the arrays to be shown in the select list menu

You would need to tell it which item of the array you want to echo, so either of these I guess

echo '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value['title'].'</option>';
echo '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value['pris'].'</option>';

Just in case it was missed, did you see my reply?

i did see ur reply

<?php
include 'sqlconnect.php';

$sql = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM aktiviteter");
$data = array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($sql))
{
    $data[$row['id']] = array(
        'title' => $row['title'],
        'pris'  => $row['pris'],
    );
} ?>

<select name="country">
<option value="">-----------------</option>
<?php
foreach($data as $key => $value):
echo '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value.'</option>'; //close your tags!!
endforeach;
?>
</select>

atm it sees the array, and therefor there will be, array in the list, but what i need is the title of every row in there, its prob not that easy

echo '<option value="'.$key.'">'.$value['title'].'</option>';

only shows one title ;/
