For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Pulling data from a mySql table

Posted by Chris_Isaac (Chris Isaac), 5 August 2003
Hi  

I want to be able to pull off and print the colum names and values from a mysql table.  The program below gets the data out, but I have no way of being able to tell from the output what the colums was called.  The other problem is I have to tell it the number of colums to grab.  

Is there a way of grabing the entire row of values /column names straight into an array?  I did try substituting mysql_fetch_array for mysql_fetch_row, but it made no difference.

Thanks

Chris

Code:
<?php
$data=array();
$hot=$_GET[hid];
include ("/usr/home/limited.org.uk/data/standard.inc");

     sql_connect();
     $q = "Select * from hotel,locations where hotel.location = locations.id      and hid = $_GET[hid]";
     $res = mysql_query($q);
           while ($row=mysql_fetch_array($res)){
                 array_push($data,$row[0],$row[1],$row[2],$row[3]);
           }

foreach ($data as $current){
           print "data is $current<br>";
}

?>

Mysql_fetch_assoc will return you an array of values for a row, with the elements keyed by the name of the field.  You can then use array_keys, array_walk, each, or something similar to step through each element.
