creating arrays in for loops.... without creating an endless loop that ruins my day!
- by Peter
Hey Guys,
Im starting with a csv varible of column names. This is then exploded into an array, then counted and tossed into a for loop that is supposed to create another array.
Every time I run it, it goes into this endless loop that just hammers away at my browser...until it dies. :(
Here is the code..
$columns = 'id, name, phone, blood_type';
<code>
$column_array = explode(',',$columns);
$column_length = count($column_array);
//loop through the column length, create post vars and set default
for($i = 0; $i <= $column_length; $i++)
{
//create the array iSortCol_1 => $column_array[1]...
$array[] = 'iSortCol_'.$i = $column_array[0];
}
</code>
What I would like to get out of all this is a new array that looks like so..
<code>
$goal = array(
"iSortCol_1" => "id",
"iSortCol_2" => "name",
"iSortCol_3" => "phone",
"iSortCol_4" => "blood_type"
);
</code>
