Question

Is there a way to add some kind of parameters to array (yet unknown variables)? As you can see here, i dont know the userID in advance (before the mysql fetch), so i cant properly form a link leading to edit page.

<?php

$box = array ('1'=>"<a href='edit.php?id=/PROBLEM??/'>edit</a>",'2'=>'Cannot edit');


while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($something)) {

?>

<tr>
<td><?php echo $row["Name"]; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $box[$row["editable"]]; ?></td>
</tr>


<?php

}

?>

$row[“editable”] returns 1 or 2, depends on database record which
returns if user is editable or not.

Answer 1

You can use sprintf():

$box = array ('1'=>"<a href='edit.php?id=%d'>edit</a>",'2'=>'Cannot edit');

echo sprintf($box[$row["editable"]], ID_HERE)
