Dynamic Content in PHP array - php

Question

This should be a quick one.
I'm pulling a list of id's and I need to place them in an array.
Here is my php code to get the list of id's
$get_archives = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM archive WHERE user = '$email' ");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_archives)) {
$insta_id = $row['insta_id'];
$insta_id = "'" . $insta_id."',";
echo $insta_id;
};
This echo's a list of id's that looks like this: '146176036','136514942',
Now I want to put that list into an array. So i tried something like this:
$y = array($insta_id);
However that isn't working. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

$y = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_archives)) {
$y[] = $row['insta_id'];
}

Answer 2

$myArray = array();
$get_archives = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM archive WHERE user = '$email' ");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_archives)) {
$insta_id = $row['insta_id'];
$insta_id = "'" . $insta_id."',";
$myArray[] =$insta_id;
};

Answer 3

did you mean like this: ?
$insta_id=array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_archives)) {
$insta_id[] = $row['insta_id'];
}

Answer 4

Create an array, and push the values into it:
$values = array();
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $get_archives ) ) {
array_push( $values, $row['insta_id'] );
}
