Pushing values from a $_Get query to a value using implode - php

Question

I am attempting to use a for loop or for each loop to push the values from a get query to another variable. May I have some help with this approach?
Ok here is where I am:
for ($i = 0 ; i < $_GET['delete']; i++) {
$_jid [] = $_GET['delete'];
}

Answer 1

You don't actually need a loop here. If $_jid already is an array containing some values, consider just merging it with $_GET['delete'].
if (is_array($_jid)) {
$_jid = array_merge($_jid, $_GET['delete']);
}
If $_jid is not an array and doesn't exist except as a container for $_GET['delete'] you do can just assign the array. There is no need to loop at all.
$_jid = $_GET['delete'];
Of course in that case, you don't even need to copy it. You can just use $_GET['delete'] directly, in any context you planned to read from $_jid.
Update:
If the contents of $_GET['delete'] are originally 923,936, that is not an array to begin with, but rather a string. If you want an array out of it, you need to explode() it on assignment:
$_jid = explode(',', $_GET['delete']);
But if you intend to implode() it in the end anyway, there's obviously no need to do that. You already have exactly the comma-delimited string you want.

As you can see if you do a var_dump($_GET), the variable $_GET is a hashmap.
You can easily use a foreach loop to look through every member of it :
foreach($_GET as $get) // $get will successively take the values of $_GET
{
echo $get."<br />\n"; // We print these values
}
The code above will print the value of the $_GET members (you can try it with a blank page and dull $_GET values, as "http://yoursite.usa/?get1=stuff&get2=morestuff")
Instead of a echo, you can put the $_GET values into an array (or other variables) :
$array = array(); // Creating an empty array
$i = 0; // Counter
foreach($_GET as $get)
{
$array[$i] = $get; // Each $_GET value is store in a $array slot
$i++;
}
In PHP, foreach is quite useful and very easy to use.
However, you can't use a for for $_GET because it's a hashmap, not an array (in fact, you can, but it's much more complicated).
Hope I helped
