Adding database results to array
- by Jason
Hi all,
I am having a mental blank here and cannot for the life of me figure out a solution.
My scenario is that I am programming in PHP and MySQL. I have a database table returning the results for a specific orderid. The query can return a maximum of 4 rows per order and a minimum of 1 row.
Here is an image of how I want to return the results.
I have all the orderdetails (Name, address) ect stored in a table named "orders".
I have all the packages for that order stored in a table named "packages".
What I need to do is using a loop I need to have access to each specific element of the database results (IE package1, itemstype1, package2, itemtype2) ect
I am using a query like this to try and get hold of just the "number of items:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM bookings_onetime_packages WHERE orderid = '".$orderid."' ORDER BY packageid DESC";
$total = $db-database_num_rows($db-database_query($sql));
$query = $db-database_query($sql);
$noitems = '';
while($info = $db-database_fetch_assoc($query)){
$numberitems = $info['numberofitems'];
for($i=0; $i
$noitems .= $numberitems[$i];
}
}
print $noitems;
I need to have access to each specific element because I them need to create fill out a pdf template using "fpdf".
I hope this makes sense. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
