help please!!!
am trying to get at the individual values of my array by assigning each value to a new variable.
for example my array has two values; ben,jane
i want to take ben and put it in the variable $value1 and jane in the variable $value 2.
Please anybody have any ideas?
thanks
assuming an array name:
$names = array(“ben”, “jane”);
$value1 = $names[0];
$value2 = $names[1];
oops
a question how would you do something like the above if you didnt know the amount of values in the array ?
ie the array could have only one value in it for one person but another time it could have as many as there are records in a different table ?
any idea ?
count()?
[code]<?php
$array = array(‘0’, ‘1’, ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, ‘5’, ‘6’, ‘7’, ‘8’, ‘9’, ‘10’);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++):
$newvariable = “value{$i}”;
${$newvariable} = $array[$i];
endfor;
echo $value1 . ‘
’;
echo $value2 . ‘
’;
echo $value3 . ‘
’;
echo $value4 . ‘
’;
echo $value5 . ‘
’;
echo $value6 . ‘
’;
echo $value7 . ‘
’;
echo $value8 . ‘
’;
echo $value9 . ‘
’;
echo $value10 . ‘
’;
//outputs
