Combine 2 arrays - php

Question

I have 2 separate arrays being pulled from MYSQL database, and want to combine both arrays on the key, so I can use a php foreach statement.
*I tried doing 1 query with both, but could not figure out how to get my foreach $video[0] to work.*
match_descr = video code
m_date = date
SQL
$query = "SELECT match_descr FROM #__bl_match WHERE match_descr != '' ORDER BY m_date DESC";
$db->setQuery($query);
$videomatch = $db->loadResultArray();
$query = "SELECT m_date FROM #__bl_match WHERE match_descr != '' ORDER BY m_date DESC";
$db->setQuery($query);
$videomatch2 = $db->loadResultArray();
PHP
$video = $this->videomatch;
for ($i=1;$i<=1;$i++){
echo '<div id="videoFrame" align="left"><iframe name="videoFrame" title="YouTube video
player" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video[0] . '" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>';
echo '<br />';
echo '<br />';
echo '<div id="videoThumbnails" align="left">';
echo '<table>';
foreach ($video as $value)
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>';
echo '<img height="75px" width="123px" src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $value. '/2.jpg" alt="' . $value . '" /> ';
echo '</td>';
echo '<td>';
echo (THIS IS WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THIS VIDEOS DATE);
echo '<br />';
echo 'California';
echo '<br />';
echo '1-19-2012';
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</div>';}

Answer 1

You are (usually) better off selecting both rows in the same query:
SELECT match_descr, m_date FROM #__bl_match WHERE match_descr != '' ORDER BY m_date DESC
It appears that you are using Joomla. If this is the case, I don't think you can use loadResultArray() to iterate multiple columns (you can give it an index to get one of the columns, but that's not helpful in this case). Instead, you can use loadRowList to get an index array of the columns, or loadAssocList to get an associative array of the columns.
They can be used as follows (without all the html for brevity):
loadRowList:
$query = "SELECT match_descr, m_date FROM #__bl_match WHERE match_descr != '' ORDER BY m_date DESC";
$db->setQuery($query);
$videomatch = $db->loadRowList();
foreach ($videomatch as $row) {
echo "{$row[0]} ({$row[1]})\n";
}
loadAssocList:
$query = "SELECT match_descr, m_date FROM #__bl_match WHERE match_descr != '' ORDER BY m_date DESC";
$db->setQuery($query);
$videomatch = $db->loadAssocList();
foreach ($videomatch as $row) {
echo "{$row['match_desc']} ({$row['m_date']})\n";
}

Answer 2

I would like to suggest you following.
$query = "SELECT match_descr, m_date FROM #__bl_match WHERE match_descr != '' ORDER BY m_date DESC";
$db->setQuery($query);
$videomatch = $db->loadResultArray();
Your following loop only work one time. So I think you do not need a for loop here.
for ($i=1;$i<=1;$i++){
And you can change your foreach loop as bellow and use it
foreach ($videomatch as $video)
{
$videoCode = $video['match_descr'];
$date = $video['m_date'];
}
Please try. And if you want to work with $video[0] as you mentioned. Use it as $video[0]['match_descr'] .
