php sql, assign variable to each row of an array - php

Question

I have an mysqli_query that pulls 3 columns and 10 rows from my table. I would to assign a variable to each row of the query. I could do 10 seperate querys and assign each to a variable, but i assumed that would be frowned upon. (note: connection info in seperate file and not shown here).
<?php
$playoffseedings = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT playoffseed, ttName, ttsUID
FROM standings
WHERE ttsUID = $season_view
AND playoffseed > 0
ORDER BY playoffseed
LIMIT 10");
$seedings = array($playoffseedings);
FOREACH($seedings as $ps){
$num_rows = 1;
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($ps)){
$num_rows++;
echo $row['playoffseed'].$row['ttName'];
echo "<br>";
}}
?>
The FOREACH used above works fine and returns 10 rows of the data I queried. So that's cool. But I need to be able to display different rows in different places on my page. So I thought assigning each row to a different variable would work well.
I tried adding something such as this to assign a variable to each row so that I'd have 10 different variables $seed1, $seed2, $seed3..., each $seedx would be an array of playoffseed, ttName, and ttsUID.
FOREACH($seedings as $ps){
$num_rows = 1;
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($ps)){
$num_rows++;
$seed$num_rows = $row[$num_rows];
}}
I'd like to know how to do the above, but also, I was confused on my journey as to why I couldn't echo a row from the an array using something like
echo $seedings[1];
echo $seedings[7]['playoffseed'];
Why wouldn't 'echo $seedings[1];' return the result of the second row of the $seedings array? I got a blank.
And why wouldn't 'echo $seedings[7]['playoffseed'];' return the playoffseed of the 8th row? Again, blank.
I felt the 2 questions were tied together because I thought I could either refer to the data I wanted to later with either a variable (ie. $seed3), or I could possibly refer to the data I need using the index (keys?) of the array (ie $seedings[7]['playoffseed']).
First post! Thanks for the help. Usually always find what I need after a few hours of searching. Stuck on this one after a few days of looking.
Edit (In an attempt to clarify):
My query returns a table (multidimensional array?) like this...
ttsUID ttName playoffseed
1993 Buffalo 1
1993 Miami 2
1993 Detroit 3
1993 Denver 4
1993 Chicago 5
...and so on. 10 rows total
After calling that query I'd like to set variables ($seedx) such as this...
$seed1 = (1993, Buffalo, 1)
$seed2 = (1993, Miami, 2)
$seed3 = (1993, Detroit, 3)
...and so on until $seed10
So each $seedx variable is an array which is pulled from the multidimensional array. That's pretty much it.
Alternatively I could make 10 separate querys to the database and increment 'AND playoffseed = 1' each time such as this...
$seed1 = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT playoffseed, ttName, ttsUID
FROM standings
WHERE ttsUID = $season_view
AND playoffseed = 1");
$seed2 = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT playoffseed, ttName, ttsUID
FROM standings
WHERE ttsUID = $season_view
AND playoffseed = 2");
but I didn't think querying the database 10 times was the way to go.
In the end I was hoping to get 10 variables ($seed1, $seed2,...$seedx) which would each be an array that includes (ttsUID, ttName, playoffseed).

Answer 1

still i am not sure how you want to store the data,but i hope this helps you
$playoffseedings = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT playoffseed, ttName, ttsUID
FROM standings
WHERE ttsUID = $season_view
AND playoffseed > 0
ORDER BY playoffseed
LIMIT 10");
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($playoffseedings))
{
$seed[$row['ttName']] = $row['ttsUID'];
$seed[$row['playoffseed']] = $row['ttsUID'];
}
this will have data like below
(for example)
$seed['ttname123']= ttsuid123
$seed['playoffseed123']= ttsuid123
$seed['ttname456']= ttsuid456
$seed['playoffseed456']= ttsuid456
