Assign numeric results from query to text from array - php

Question

I'm just learning PHP and I've searched for a while on this, but I'm afraid I may not know exactly how to ask it, so an explanation will probably work best. Basically I have a group by/count query returning 3 records.
Status Total
0 2
1 3
2 2
On my page I would like to display:
Status Total
Dev 2
Active 3
Arch 2
So I basically just want to assign the values 0, 1 and 2 to a text value. I've tried creating an array, then assigning the return number field equal to the array.
$_status = array(0 => 'Development', 1 => 'Production', 2 => 'Archive');
while($rowStat = mysql_fetch_assoc($resDev))
{
echo "<tr><td>$_status[$rowStat['status']]</td><td>{$rowStat['devprojects']}</td></tr>";
};
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.

Answer 1

as you can see here http://php.net/mysql_fetch_assoc the field names are case sensitive
from what I see in your table sample the field is called "Status"
and you are using "status"
you can try changing
$rowStat['status']
to
$rowStat['Status']
Edit:
the initial version of the answer only focused on what's the problem (and suggested pdo)
I only want to add that I agree to two other optinions found here:
the one added via comment to this answer by giorgio: you should only use lowercase names for your database fields; also you should consider using the table name as a prefix (product_id instead or id, user_password instead of password) for two main reasons: to avoid colisions when you fetch results using a join and to avoit collisions with mysql reserved words (as id, password and status are)
the other one, suggested by Crashspeeder by a comment to the question: you definitely should develop with error reporting on and disable it on live servers

Answer 2

I don't really like using the 0, 1, 2 to represent a named value (unless you have a relational) table in your DB... but using your setup, why not just use:
while($rowStat = mysql_fetch_assoc($resDev)){
switch($rowStat['Status']){
case 0:
echo "<tr><td>Development</td><td>{$rowStat['devprojects']}</td></tr>";
break;
case 1:
echo "<tr><td>Production</td><td>{$rowStat['devprojects']}</td></tr>";
break;
case 2:
echo "<tr><td>Archive</td><td>{$rowStat['devprojects']}</td></tr>";
break;
}
};
EDIT
Some people really are looking for copy-paste answers so here's an updated answer because Sgt. Crashspeeder of the Massively Anal Society got her knickers in a twist.
Create a lookup array to reference against the status Ids:
$statusArray[0] = 'Development;
$statusArray[1] = 'Production;
$statusArray[2] = 'Archive;
Then when you're running your mysql_fetch_assoc() loop, you can reference the statusArray lookup like so:
while($rowStat = mysql_fetch_assoc($resDev)){
echo "<tr><td>{$statusArray[$rowStat['Status']]}</td><td>{$rowStat['devprojects']}</td></tr>";
}
