suttercain Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hi guys, I am running the following code: <?php require_once ('get_connected.php'); ?> </head> <body> <?php $results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM typeOfCalls ORDER BY type") or die(mysql_error()); while ($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { echo "<a href='?id=".$row['typeId']."'>".$row['type']."</a>"; echo "<br>"; } if (isset($_GET['id'])) { $timestamp = date('Y-m-d H:i:s'); $sql = "INSERT INTO totalCalls (typeId, dateInfo) VALUES ('".mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['id'])."', '$timestamp')"; $into = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error()); if ($into) { echo "You just added a " .$row['type']. " phone call."; } } ?> My question is, how do I get the scope of the first SELECT statment into the last if statment that attempts to echo "You just added a " .$row['type']. " phone call." The reason I ask is because right now the browser outputs "You just added a phone call" when I actually need it to echo "You just added a " .$row['type']. " phone call."

suttercain Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thanks Frost, that worked, but just to gain more from the code: How does that work? That's a multi-dimensional array right? Thanks again. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/53751-basic-scope-question/#findComment-265662 Share on other sites More sharing options...
per1os Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 No its a regular array. What was happening is that your original code would of printed the very last result taken from that query. With what I posted there for you since you are using the typeid to add data is made that the key into a new array. Than all that was needed to be done was use the ID from the GET data on the Rows array to display that value.
