Question

I have 2 Arrays in my code. $id = array(); gets its values from the previous page. And $nameArray = array(); gets its values from an sql query. The $id array works fine, but my $nameArray doesn’t work, and I’m assuming because you can only have 1 array?

Is there a way to store the values for $id in their own array, and also store the values for $nameArray in a seperate array or is that not possible?

Thanks!

Here is the code for the $id

$id = array();

$street = $_POST['site_street'];

$db_link = mysql_connect('example', 'example', 'example');
if (!$db_link)
    die('Cannot connect : ' . mysql_error());

$db_selected = mysql_select_db('Orders', $db_link);
if (!$db_selected)
    die ('Cannot select database : ' . mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT clientreferrance, clientname, sitestreet, inspectiontype FROM  `PropertyInfo` WHERE  `sitestreet` LIKE  '$street'";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

if (!$result)
    die('Could not successfully run query: ' . mysql_error());

if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0)
{

?>
<form action="noJavaScript.php" name="theForm" method="post">
<table style="border: 1px solid black">
    <?php
        while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
        {
            echo '<tr><td>';
            echo '<input type="checkbox" name="selected[]" value="'.$row['clientreferrance'].'"/>';
            echo '</td>';
            foreach ($row as $key => $value)
                echo '<td>'.htmlspecialchars($value).'</td>';
            echo '</tr>';
        }
    ?>
</table>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Edit/Modify Order" onClick="document.theForm.action='modify.php'">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Clone Order" onClick="document.theForm.action='clone.php'">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Archive Order" onClick="document.theForm.action='../member-index.php'">
</form>

And the code for the $nameArray SQL query:

$nameArray = array();
$dbh2 = mysql_connect("example", "example", "example", true); 
mysql_select_db('Inspectors', $dbh2);

//Create query
$query2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `InspEmail` WHERE `Company` LIKE '$user'");

// display query results
while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($query2)) {
    $nameArray[] = $row2['name']; 
}
mysql_close($dbh2);

You can have as many differently named arrays as you want (assuming you don’t run out of memory).

The problem will lie in your code elsewhere. As a rule of thumb, blame your own shortcomings before pointing the finger at a well established language, compiler, library, etc. 😉
