Database entries to C# Question:

Is there any other way of getting PHP form data into C# any other way besides calling  

www.downloadHandler.text

I am having issues  bringing all the entries into C# and breaking them all up.  I can do one row fine but multiple rows isn't working.  I keep getting an out range error.

This is my PHP echo

echo $row['userName']. '|' .$row['level']. '|' .$row['points']. '|' .$row['killRate']. '/';

And this is my C# code

                string nothing = "Not Placed";
                string Data_string = www.downloadHandler.text;
                string[] DataArray;
                DataArray = Data_string.Split('/');

                int numberOfEntries = DataArray.Length;
                Debug.Log(numberOfEntries);

                if (DataArray[0] == null || numberOfEntries == 1)
                {
                    DataArray[0] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [0] isn't there");
                    High_Points_1.text = DataArray[0];

                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_1.text = DataArray[0];
                    //Debug.Log(DataArray.Length);
                }
                if (DataArray[1] == null || numberOfEntries == 2)
                {
                    DataArray[1] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [1] isn't there");
                    High_Points_2.text = DataArray[1];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_2.text = DataArray[1];
                    //Debug.Log(DataArray.Length);
                }
                if (DataArray[2] == null || numberOfEntries == 3)
                {
                    DataArray[2] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [2] isn't there");
                    High_Points_3.text = DataArray[2];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_3.text = DataArray[2];
                }
                if (DataArray[3] == null || numberOfEntries == 4)
                {
                    DataArray[3] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [3] isn't there");
                    High_Points_4.text = DataArray[3];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_4.text = DataArray[3];
                }
                if (DataArray[4] == null || numberOfEntries == 5)
                {
                    DataArray[4] = nothing;
                    Debug.Log("Data Array [4] isn't there");
                    High_Points_5.text = DataArray[4];
                }
                else
                {
                    High_Points_5.text = DataArray[4];
                }

I have two entries in the database.  But when I debugged the number int he array I get 3 strings.

I want to show the top five entries in the database.

Very confusing.

  • You say you have 2 entries in the database.
  • Then you say you want the top five entries in the database.
  • Your php code only echoes one entry

Not surprised you're having problems.

Don't know. This is a PHP forum.

The database will be have more than five entries.  For testing I want to be able to say if there isn't anything there just say this.  But my code above isn't working.

The PHP code does echo the two entries just like the other issue I had you helped me with.  I understand that I only get one string from the echo and the "/" is splitting them apart so I can display them separately. 

But because there isn't a third, fourth and fifth I am getting the out of bounds error.

Can I echo each individual row in the PHP and get it into the C# with more control other than the "www.downloadhandler.text"?

It occurred to me that it might be easier to

  • query for the first 5 records
  • fetchAll() on the result set
  • json encode the array of results

then echo the json string.

In C#, convert the json back to an array and process.

I tried that but seems like a hassle since I'm using the database and it is handling all the data nicely.  If I could just connect to the MySQL database straight with out having the app on the server that would be nice but my host doesn't allow it.

 

And with the Json would need to be split up too

Forget the json then.

This should give you the first 5 records in the format your C# is currently expecting

$res = $conn->query("SELECT username
                          , level
                          , points
                          , killrate
                     FROM atable
                     ORDER BY points DESC
                     LIMIT 5;
                    ");
$data = [];
foreach ($res as $row) {
    $data[] = join('|', $row);
}
echo join('/', $data);

I need to learn this.

I built the app and those out of bounds errors are not crashing the app or anything.  Is it best practice to not worry about those errors because they will resolve themselves anyway?

Thank you.  getting into it now.

$data = [];
foreach ($res as $row) {
    $data[] = join('|', $row);
}
echo join('/', $data);

 

@Barand  So I get this now.  Thank you.  It is similar in C#, but I didn't realize I could do this in PHP.
