Returning an array from a PHP query - php

Question

I query my database with a PHP script that looks like this:
$query = "SELECT * FROM JKFactory WHERE ronde = '$ronde' AND moment = '$moment' AND klas = '$klas'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo $row['afzetAG'];
echo ",";
}
This gives a result something like this:
10000,20000,30000,
I need this data to build a piegraph with chart.js.
chart.js works with arrays for the data. So the numbers should be returned as an array which I can put into an JavaScript variable which I can use with chart.js.
Another problem is the last comma. I have no idea how I can get rid of this comma.
Maybe these question are straightforward but I am relatively new in this field I really get stuck on this part.

Answer 1

You have the array and you'd put the comma after the results yourself. so try to declare an array like $arr before while and use array_push($arr,$row['afzetAG']) inside the while

Answer 2

To print your result like 1000,2000,3000... You can save the content into an Array and print it using implode:
$data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
array_push($data, $row['afzetAG']);
}
echo implode(",",$data);
But if you want to use an Array from PHP to JavaScript you can do this:
<script type="text/javascript">
<?php
$data = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
array_push($data, $row['afzetAG']);
}
?>
var obj = <?php echo json_encode($data); ?>;
</script>
So now obj contains the Array ready to use in your JavaScript code.

Answer 3

$types = array();
while(($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))) { $types[] = $row['type']; }

Answer 4

ok i made it. To echo the result i used this:
$a = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$b = $row['afzetAG'];
array_push($a,$b);
}
echo implode(",",$a);
This gives not an array i can use in javascript. In javascript i put the result in a variable myResult and than i used:
myResult = myResult.split(',');
this i could use in chart.js to build a pie chart.
Thanks guys. Now i can sleep.
