How can I fix my php array? - php

Question

so I have loop where it spits out each row of data from my database. Output show below
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 1 [2] => 1 [3] => Saratoga [4] => test [5] => 7-2 [6]
=> Red [7] => Bob [8] => Jill )
Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 1 [2] => 2 [3] => Saratoga [4] => test 2 [5] => 3-3 [6]
=> White [7] => Bill [8] => Austin )
Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => 1 [2] => 3 [3] => Saratoga [4] => test 3 [5] => 2-2
[6] => Blue [7] => Austin [8] => jill )
how do I combine this into one array?
code is down below on how I am doing my loop for my array
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `2018-08-20`";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$rn = 1;
// output data of each row
$aa = 1;
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$a = array($aa,$row["RaceNumber"], $row["HorseNum"], $row["Track"],
$row["HorseName"], $row["Odds"], $row["Color"], $row["JockeyName"],
$row["TrainerName"] );
for($x=0;$x < $a[1];$x++){
$aa++;
print_r($a);
echo "<br/>";
$rn++;
}
}
echo ' <button type="submit" name="submit"> Submit </button></form>';
echo "</table>";
} else {
echo "0 results";
}

Answer 1

Try this. In the following code we are storing all arrays in $all_data array.
$all_data = array();
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$a = array($row["RaceNumber"], $row["HorseNum"], $row["Track"],
$row["HorseName"], $row["Odds"], $row["Color"], $row["JockeyName"],
$row["TrainerName"] );
$all_data[] = $a;
}
print_r($all_data);

If you just want an array containing the fields that you have coded in your loop, you should just code them into your query. I'm not sure what you are doing with the $aa in your array, but you have it there so I'm including it in my last example.
SQL APPROACH:
Note: The $aa will be missing.
$sql = "SELECT
`RaceNumber`,
`HorseNum`,
`Track`,
`HorseName`,
`Odds`,
`Color`,
`JockeyName`,
`TrainerName`
FROM `2018-08-20`";
$results = $conn->query($sql);
print_r($results);
YOUR CURRENT SETUP
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `2018-08-20`";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$rn = 1; //What are these for???
$aa = 1;
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$a[] = array(
$aa,
$row["RaceNumber"],
$row["HorseNum"],
$row["Track"],
$row["HorseName"],
$row["Odds"],
$row["Color"],
$row["JockeyName"],
$row["TrainerName"]
);
}
print_r($a);
echo ' <button type="submit" name="submit"> Submit </button></form>';
echo "</table>";
} else {
echo "0 results";
}

You can try this also
$all_data = array();
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$all_data[] = $row;
}
var_dump($all_data);
As the $row will be in array format , you can directly add that to array
