Question

pretty straight forward question this – I am trying to create an array to store the Model and Cost values taken from my database table. I figured I could begin the array, then create a while loop, and then end the array, and smiles all around. I may be mistaken, or I may have blindly missed something in my code, but could you have a look?

$array = array(
    while ($overall_cost = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_ocost)) {
            $overall_cost["model"] => $overall_cost["cost"],
    }
);

var_dump($array);

Answer 1

I think this is what you’re looking for:

$array = array();

while ($overall_cost = mysql_fetch_assoc($query_ocost)) {
    $array[$overall_cost["model"]] = $overall_cost["cost"];
}

var_dump($array);
