Question

Okay, I’m kinda stuck on really silly problem, but still can’t figure out.

I’m having an array from database with mysql_fetch_array. So far I have only 1 record in the table and after print_r(….) I have this:

Array (
   [0] => 1 
   [customer_id] => 1 
   [1] => Test Client 
   [customer_name] => Test Client 
   [2] => 
   [customer_image] => 
   [3] => Test Address 
   [customer_address] => Test Address 
   [4] => 2272723 
   [customer_phone] => 2272723
)

I’m trying to make a foreach() {...} from where I’ll get customer_id and customer_name

and somehow I can’t make correct foreach to get them and I’m getting some hilarious results…

any ideas?

=================

$sql = "SELECT * FROM customers";
$result_set = mysql_query($sql, $this->connection);
$records = mysql_fetch_array($result_set);

function generateSelect($recordName, $label, $default) {
        $records = parent::selectTableRecord($recordName);
      $html = "<label for=\"".$recordName."\">". $label ."</label>";
      $html .= "<select name=\"". $recordName ."\" id=\"". $recordName ."\">";
      $html .= "<option value=\"\">". $default ."</option>";
          while ($record = mysql_fetch_assoc($records)) {
            $html .= "<option value=\"".$record['customer_id']."\">".$record['customer_name']."</option>";
          }
      $html .= "</select>";
      return $html; 
    }

and somewhere on other page I’m echoing this function:

<?php echo Project::generateSelect('customer', 'client', '--'); ?>

here’s what I have

Answer 1

the easiest way would be to use this code :

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM customer");
while($posts = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
echo $posts['customer_name'];
}

Updated answer to reflect the exact vars used in the question

$sql = "SELECT * FROM customers";
$result_set = mysql_query($sql, $this->connection);
while($records = mysql_fetch_array($result_set)){
   echo $records['customer_name'];
}

now #customer_name can be replaced by ANY field name you have in that table to get that data.

and if you wanted to use foreach to have $i as a number to keep track of the number of results, then you can create $i = 0; outside the while() and at the end before closing it, just add $i++.
