Question

How can I copy an array that has other associative arrays in it?
I am talking about a result set returned from a mysql_fetch_assoc.

So say I have a structure like this…

connect
$result = query;

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

    array_push($static_row, $row); // here lies the problem

}

I would like to get that $static_row exactly as a copy of $row. Eventually I would like to put that query and while loop in a function, and simply return $static_row

As a reference, a print_r of $row looks like this

Array ( [key1] => value1 [key2] => value2 )
Array ( [key1] => value1 [key2] => value1 ) 

Thanks,
let me know if you need more details

Answer 1

Use the form:

connect $result = query; 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{ 
   $rows[] = $row;
}
// now you have all the answers in an array of arrays, which you can return from a function
