Array in a While - php

Question

I try to code a API Connection to Shopware (Shop CMS). Now I want to get the Data from a Database and fill the array with it.
So the Original Example Code from the
$updateArticle = array(
'configuratorSet' => array(
'groups' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Size',
'options' => array(
array('name' => 'S'),
array('name' => 'M'),
array('name' => 'L'),
array('name' => 'XL'),
array('name' => 'XXL'),
)
),
Now i want to replace this
array('name' => 'S'),
array('name' => 'M'),
array('name' => 'L'),
array('name' => 'XL'),
array('name' => 'XXL'),
with a while so like this (but this doesn't work)
$updateArticle = array(
'configuratorSet' => array(
'groups' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Farbe',
'options' => array(
if ($resultatfarben = $db->query('SELECT * FROM cache_article WHERE artikelnummer = '.$herstellnummer.' GROUP BY farben')) {
while($datenfarben = $resultatfarben->fetch_object() ){
array('name' => ''.$datenfarben->farbe.''),
}
}
)
),
I can't insert a while but I like the same result like the original example in the front of the post but with a mysql while and not write the code by my self.

Answer 1

First we need to create the options array with the results of the database. Then, assign this array to the 'options' property of your $updateArticle array
$options = array(); // Initialize a new array
$resultatfarben = $db->query('SELECT * FROM cache_article WHERE artikelnummer = '.$herstellnummer.' GROUP BY farben');
while($datenfarben = $resultatfarben->fetch_object() ){
$ret = array('name' => $datenfarben->farbe);
$options[] = $ret; // Push each db result ($ret array) in the options array
}
$updateArticle = array(
'configuratorSet' => array(
'groups' => array(
array(
'name' => 'Farbe',
'options' => $options // Assign the $options array created before
)
)
)
)
