Dup of Some Basic PHP Questions

Hello,

I have a heap of tinyint fields in a mysql database I need to show with PHP. At the moment I am doing something like this:

if ($row['PAYPAL_ACCEPT'] == '1'){  $paypal = 'Yes';  else  $paypal = 'No';  } 

For each field, which is tedious and seems like there should be a better way, than using an if clause for each field. If there is, what is it?

Building on what’s already been suggested:

// $columns = string array of column names // $columns = array('PAYPAL_ACCEPT' ... ); foreach($columns as $column) {   $$column = $row[$column] ? 'YES' : 'NO'; } 

then you can access variables using the column names as variable names:

print $PAYPAL_ACCEPT;
