how can foreach mysql result? - php

Question

I have 2 Columns in mysql. valami2 and playerID in table players_extra.
I will the following:
give 3000 coppers for the first row in valami2, then 2500 coppers for the second(then each row -500 coppers until the 5th place)....after the 5th place give 500 until the 10th place. for the CORRECT payerID.
$aseco->console('>> Updating `hetimostfin` counts for all Players...');
$hetimostfin = array();
$line = 0;
$coppers = 3000;
$query = "
SELECT
`playerID`,
COUNT(`valami2`) AS `Count`
FROM `players_extra`
GROUP BY `playerID`;
";
$res2 = mysql_query($query);
if ($res2) {
if (mysql_num_rows($res2) > 0) {
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($res2)) {
$hetimostfin[$row->playerID] = $row->Count;
}
foreach ($hetimostfin as $id => $count) {
$res2 = mysql_query("
UPDATE `players_extra`
SET `valami2` =(`valami2`+'".$coppers."')
WHERE `playerID` = ". $id ."
");
$line ++;
$coppers=($coppers-500);
if ($line >= 6) {
$coppers=500;
}
if ($line == 10){
break;
}
}
}
}

Try PDO. It's a much better and safer way of interacting with databases for PHP. http://php.net/manual/en/pdo.connections.php
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$dbname", $user, $pass);
$hetimostfin = array();
$coppers = 3000;
$line = 0;
$query = <<<SQL
SELECT
playerID,
COUNT(valami2) AS `count`
FROM players_extra
GROUP BY playerID;
SQL;
foreach($dbh->query($query, PDO::FETCH_ASSOC) as $row) {
$hetimostfin[[$row['playerID']] = $row['count'];
// execute update statement
$line++;
}
