Question

So i have this in my database:

INSERT INTO `strange` (`id`, `myKey1`, `myValue1`, `myKey2`, `myValue2`) VALUES
(1, 'sometext', 'somevalue', 'sometext', 'somevalue'),
(2, 'movie1', 'description1', 'movie2', 'description2');

with this code:

<?php
//error_reporting(0);
include "inclusions/entete.php";
$theID = $_GET['id'];
$filename = "fonctions-javascript/uploads/" . $theID. ".html";
//unlink($filename);


$query = "SELECT * FROM strange WHERE id = '$theID'";   
$result = mysql_query( $query ) or die ( mysql_error() );
$row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ); 
$contents = array($row['myKey1'] => $row['myValue1'], $row['myKey2'] => $row['myValue2']);

//$contents = array('one' => "something", 'two' => "something");
print_r ($contents);
//print_r($row);

?>

…the print_r for id 1 is: Array ( [sometext] => somevalue )

but with id 2 the output is: Array ( [movie1] => description1 [movie2] => description2 )

So can somebody please tell me what is going on and what i must be doing to get the all the data with id 1

Answer 1

With id 1, you have the same array key being used twice (sometext), and so the array cannot differentiate between the two entries. The second one is overriding the first, making it look like there is only one entry.
