Using a foreach inside an array - php

Question

I am trying to use codeigniter's active record class to fetch a value from the database that i need to insert to a table with this code
$q = $this->db->get('center_number');
$cd = $this->db->get('running_tasks');`
$ask_for_permission = array(
'messagefrom' => $le_message_from,
'messageto' => foreach ($q->result() as $row)
{
$row->center_number;
},
'messagetext' => 'The dataset'. '' .foreach ($cd->result() as $row)
{
$row->task_name;
}. ' is requesting permission to credit the account.Reply with yes to allow or no to decline.Anything else other than yes or no shall be ignored.'
);
I get the error:
unexpected 'foreach'
How can I fetch the record from the database from within $ask_for_permission array?.

Answer 1

// First Generate the Array
$ask_for_permission = array(
'messagefrom' => $le_message_from,
'messageto' => '',
'messagetext' => 'The dataset'. '' .foreach ($cd->result() as $row)
{
$row->task_name;
}. ' is requesting permission to credit the account.Reply with yes to allow or no to
decline.Anything else other than yes or no shall be ignored.'
);
// Second, populate it with all values of the $q->result() array
foreach ($q->result() as $row)
{
$ask_for_permission['messageto'] .= $row->center_number;
}

Answer 2

Try this
function msgTo() {
$str = '' ;
foreach ($r->result() as $row) {
$str .= $row;
}
return $str;
}
and replace your foreach with msgTo()

Answer 3

I solved it this way
$q = $this->db->get('center_number');
$le_message_from = '08009898';
$ask_for_permission = array(
'messagefrom' => $le_message_from,
'messageto' => $q->row->center_number,
'messagetext' => 'The dataset'. ' '. $this->db->query("select task_name from running_tasks limit 1")->row()->task_name .' '.'is requesting permission to credit the account.Reply with yes to allow or no to
decline.Anything else other than yes or no shall be ignored.'
);
$this->db->insert('messageout', $ask_for_permission);
