Is there a way I can echo an array of value in this format[200,135,667,333,526,996,564,123,890,464,655] I have my PHP code as below:
$sql_sum_up = "SELECT * FROM `payment`";
$result_sum_up = mysqli_query($conn,$sql_sum_up);
$count_sum_up = mysqli_num_rows($result_sum_up);
while($row_sum_up = mysqli_fetch_array($result_sum_up,MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
$price = $row_sum_up['price'];
}
I want when I echo $price it should come in this format [200,135,667,333,526,996,564,123,890,464,655]
Start of by indenting your code correctly. There's almost always a function for auto-formatting in most editors, such as Visual Studio Code, NetBeans, etc. Or use an online tool to do it.
Correct your SQL query since there's no point getting all values if you just read the price value and you are ordering without mentionning the field name:
SELECT `price` FROM `payment` ORDER BY `field_name` DESC
Create an array variable which you will fill with the prices:
$prices = [];
In your loop reading the database values, fill the array:
$prices[] = $row_sum_up['price'];
Alternatively, you could also fetch all values instead of looping. By the way, it's best to use PHP's PDO abstraction layer instead of mysqli_() functions.
After the loop, export it to JSON:
print json_encode($prices);
first of all, as someone already mentioned in the comments you have an error in your SQL synthax. The correct ORDER BY synthax is "ORDER BY [field-name] DESC"
You could achieve what you want in different ways.
First of all you want to create an array that contains all prices:
$sql_sum_up = "SELECT * FROM `payment`";
$result_sum_up = mysqli_query($conn,$sql_sum_up);
$count_sum_up = mysqli_num_rows($result_sum_up);
$prices = []; //Create the prices array
while($row_sum_up = mysqli_fetch_array($result_sum_up,MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
$prices[] = $row_sum_up['price']; //This pushes every price into the array
}
Make use of join/implode - PHP.net join function
echo '['.join(',',$prices).']';
You could use json_encode function PHP.net json_encode function
echo json_encode($prices);

The intention with the below code is to extract messages from a mysql table, and put each of them inside ONE array with {} around each output. Each output consists of various parameters as you can see, and is an array in itself.
What the code does is that each time the loop is processed, in the JSON array that this later is converted into, it wraps the output in []´s, hence it´s now a new array which is created.
What I get is:
[{"sender":"ll","message":"blah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:04","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"32629016712222016034323"},{"sender":"kk","message":"blahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:23","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"32629016712222016034323"},{"sender":"ll","message":"blahblahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:47","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"32629016712222016034323"}],[{"sender":"ll","message":"blahblahblahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:04","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"92337321312222016034304"},{"sender":"kk","message":"blahblahblahblahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:44:05","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"92337321312222016034304"}]]
And what I want is:
[{"sender":"ll","message":"blah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:04","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"32629016712222016034323"},{"sender":"kk","message":"blahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:23","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"32629016712222016034323"},{"sender":"ll","message":"blahblahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:47","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"32629016712222016034323"}],{"sender":"ll","message":"blahblahblahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:43:04","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"92337321312222016034304"},{"sender":"kk","message":"blahblahblahblahblah","timestamp":"2016-12-21 14:44:05","username":"","msgtype":"","threadid":"92337321312222016034304"}]
How do I proceed to get the right result here?
$data = array ();
foreach($threads as $threadid){
$sql = ("SELECT sender,message,timestamp,username,msgtype,threadid FROM Messages WHERE threadid = '$threadid' AND subject = '' AND timestamp > '$newtimestamp' ORDER BY timestamp");
$arrayOfObjects = $conn->query($sql)->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$data[] = $$arrayOfObjects;
}
And FYI, $threadid is another array containing... threadids, and the loop correctly fetches these one by one, that´s not where the problem is.
Thanks in advance!!
You are doing O(N) database queries, consider doing just O(1) using an IN expression in your where clause. No need for a foreach loop and you'll get all your data in one array.
SELECT ... FROM Messages WHERE threadid IN (1, 2, 3, ...) AND ...
You might have to use a prepared statement for that.
I think you are searching for PDO::FETCH_OBJ.
You had FETCH_ASSOC, which will return an array of associative arrays.
FETCH_OBJwill return an array ob stdObjects.
Also you reassigned $array to itself when doing $array[] = $array;..
$data = array();
foreach($threads as $threadid){
$sql = ("SELECT sender,message,timestamp,username,msgtype,threadid FROM Messages WHERE threadid = '$threadid' AND subject = '' AND timestamp > '$newtimestamp' ORDER BY timestamp");
// here it is:
$arrayOfObjects = $conn->query($sql)->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
$data[] = $arrayOfObjects;
}
// now you can encode that as json and show it:
echo json_encode($data);

Well, I decided to give your suggestion one more try, and managed to do it in a none prepared way. I´m aware that this is supposed to be risky, but so far this project just needs to work, then have the php codes updated to safer versions, and then go live. It works, so thanks a bunch!
$sql = ("SELECT sender,message,timestamp,username,msgtype,threadid FROM Messages WHERE threadid IN ('" . implode("','",$threadid) . "') AND subject = '' AND timestamp > '$newtimestamp' ORDER BY timestamp");
$data = $conn->query($sql)->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ);
I have a postgres table with four columns labelled dstart which is date data type,
dend which is also a date data type, dcontract which is a date data type and id which is a integer. I am trying to run a php code to get the data using an array and use it in the body of my application. But when I test the array and try to echo some values... My browser just displays the word array... Is there anyway I can be able to retrieve the data or fix this code? Please see code below
<?php
function getLiveDate($campid)
{
global $conn,$agencies;
$return=array(
'livedate'=>'',
'campid'=>'',
'enddate'=>'',
'dateContract'=>'',
);
$sql = "SELECT id, dcontract, dstart, dend
FROM campaigns
WHERE id = '".$campid."' ORDER BY dstart DESC LIMIT 1";
$r = pg_query($conn,$sql);
if ($r)
{
$d = pg_fetch_array($r);
if (!empty($d))
{
$return['livedate'] = $d['dstart'];
$return['campid'] = $d['id'];
$return['enddate'] = $d['dend'];
$return['dateContract'] = $d['dcontract'];
}
}
#pg_free_result($r);
return $return;
}
I am pretty sure, your array $d is "multi-dimensional" and pg_fetch_array() returns an array of arrays, because the result of SQL queries in general may contain multiple rows. You limited it to one row, but you certainly get the correct values by assinging $return['livedata'] = $d[0]['dstart']; or $return['livedata'] = $d['dstart'][0]; and so on (I am not familiar with that particularly function for I usually use MySQL instead of Postgre).
Besides, try echoing your data by means of print_r() instead of echo.
The $return variable is an array, if you want shows the content, you must use print_r or var_dump not echo.
I have an array $mycontacts of beans of type $contact
where:
$contact->id = $x
$contact->name = $y
$contact->email= $z
I want to check the $mycontacts array against a second array $contacted also of type $contact.
I want to perform $mycontacts - $contacted to yield a subset which I have not contacted based on the email parameter. Now i could do something like
foreach ($mycontacts as $mycontact) {
loop through $contacted and compare $contacted->email to $mycontact->email
}
Is there a better way to do this either with php, redbean or mysql?
$sql = 'SELECT *
FROM contact
WHERE id NOT IN (SELECT mycontact.id
FROM contact AS mycontact
WHERE 1/* your condition*/)';
$rows = R::getAll( $sql );
$contactsMinusMyContacts = R::convertToBeans( 'contact', $rows );
This code should be the best performing, as it runs nearly entirely on the database, which is the best place to work with sets of data. It first selects all contacts, then subtracts "my contacts" and returns the result. RedBean then converts it back to beans.
I have a file file.php and inside my file I am using the code bellow to pull some data from my database and display some information.
My code is
$array = $_GET['theurl']; // My url looks like myfile.php?theurl=1,2,3 (id,s)
$sqlnt4 = "select * from mytable WHERE `id` IN ($array)";
$rsdt4 = mysql_query($sql);
$tc4a = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsdt4);
$mycomma4 = ",";
if ($tc4a['a_youtube'] == "#"){
}else{
while ($tc4 = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsdt4))
{
echo $tc4['a_youtube'];
echo ",";
}
}
I expect to echo the infos of the two id's (in array) inside my while function, but it returns the results only from the first.
Any ideas?
I am confusing on $sql :
$sqlnt4 = "select * from mytable WHERE `id` IN ($array)";
$rsdt4 = mysql_query($sql);
Can you take a look after changing below:
$sqlnt4 = "select * from mytable WHERE `id` IN ($array)";
$rsdt4 = mysql_query($sqlnt4);
First that's extremely vulnerable to security issues - I hope this isn't used in production and just for playing around.
I recommend switching to PDO, or at the very least securing your variables.
To put that array into the query, you need to implode it into a list, as such.
$list = implode(',', $array);
You can then use the list in the statement, which will look like 1,2,3.
Edit:
I've just realized your $array value isn't actually an array - have you missed code out or is it badly named?
mysql_fetch_assoc: "Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row and moves the internal data pointer ahead." http://pt2.php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc
Try mysql_fetch_rows to return all matching rows into an array.
I am looking to use the contents of an array
$arr =array(24,28,30,34, 40);
and pass these into the where clause of a MySQL select statement, all my research has shown this done by using IN to pass in all the array values in one go.
I need to pass in each array element one at a time and then echo out the results of the SQL statement one at a time as the select statement is updated with the next array element.
New to programming and PHP so just need a little example to get me started...
Thanks to Zad highlighted the real issue
I need to pass each array value individually to a SQL statement as these need to be utilised in Where clause with BETWEEN, eg. WHERE age BETWEEN $array1 AND $array2 in order to determine count over an age range
thanks for all the input
You can use the implode function to build the string that contains the list;
$arr =array(24,28,30,34, 40);
$query = 'SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE id IN (' .implode($arr, ', '). ' )';
echo $query;`
http://codepad.org/tLPZxq8P
http://mx2.php.net/manual/en/function.implode.php
try it with escaping the argument
foreach($arr as $array_element) {
$query = 'SELECT * FROM table WHERE field = \''.mysql_real_escape_string($array_element).'\'';
//your statement
}
You can use a foreach function:
// make connection to mysql server
foreach ( $arr as $element ) {
$statement = "SELECT whatever FROM wherever WHERE something = $element"; // maybe a little validation here wouldn't hurt either
// execute statement
// process results
} // end of foreach
// close connection
$arr =array(24,28,30,34, 40);
$a = 'SELECT * FROM foo WHERE bar IN('.implode(',',$arr).')';
Edit: I'll admit, I didn't fully read the question, the title is misleading - consider changing that.
I need to pass in each array element one at a time and then echo out
the results of the SQL statement one at a time as the select statement
is updated with the next array element.
Could you explain how the scenario a bit better?
