PHP Array into array - php

Question

I've had a look through searches but there are so many differently worded question that I'm not sure which I should be looking for. Nor can I think how to word this to the best of my ability, but here goes:
I would like to take a mysqli_fetch_assoc() result and create an array for each row.
Let's say the result had two rows:
[0][0] = Cheese
[0][1] = 1
[1][0] = Milk
[1][1] = 2
How can I drop those into a newly created array let's say called $items?
What I'm hoping to achieve is:
$items = array(
array("Cheese",1),
array("Milk", 2)
);
The only code I have so far is this:
if($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($q)) {
for($i=0;$i<$total;$i++) {
$items[$i][] = $row[$i];
}
}
I have not tried this, but I have this very unsettling feeling that it definitely won't be working.

Answer 1

would this not do it?
if($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($q)) {
foreach($row as $r) {
$items[] = $r;
}
}

Answer 2

$new_arr = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
{
foreach($row as $value){
$new_arr[][$value[0]] = $value[1];
}
}

Answer 3

I think this is what you need
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($q))
{
$arr = [];
foreach ($row as $value)
$arr[] = $value;
$items[] = $arr;
}
var_dump($items);

Answer 4

mysqli_result::fetch_all()
"Returns an array of associative or numeric arrays holding result rows"
I think you're thinking too hard. A two dimensional array is already an array containing arrays. In your case, the result of fetch_all is precisely an array containing 'an array for each row'
If you're not intending to store the whole result set then you can do:
$rows[] = Array();
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_row() && $someCondition) $rows[] = $row;
but really you'd be better off to put a LIMIT on the query if possible.
