POEstablishing an array from foreach loop
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a form which allows a user to register for multiple events. These are listed in a form with checkboxes (all named <code>registrations[]</code> with the event ID as the value) and are submitted as an array.</p> <p>A subsequent page then loops through each 'checked' event, adding a record to the database for each event:</p> <pre><code>foreach ($_POST['registrations'] as $registration) { $query="SELECT exhibitions.exhib_id, DATE_FORMAT(exhibitions.exhib_date, %d/%m/%y'), venues.venue_name FROM exhibitions, venues WHERE exhibitions.venue_id='$registration' AND venues.venue_id='$registration' LIMIT 1"; $result=mysql_query($query); $vr=mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM); $exhib_id=$vr[0]; $exhib_date=$vr[1]; $exhib_venue=$vr[2]; // do database stuff here } </code></pre> <p>What I need to do is store each <code>$exhib_date</code> and <code>$exhib_venue</code> in a separate array, which I can reuse later (within a confirmation email, which will list all events the user has registered for).</p> <p>I thought this would be as simple as establishing a new array <b>outside</b> the foreach loop e.g. <code>$events_attending=array();</code> and adding elements to the array <b>within</b> the foreach loop e.g. <code>$events_attending['date'] = $exhib_date;</code> and <code>$events_attending['venue'] = $exhib_venue;</code>.</p> <p>I've tested this minus the foreach loop using <code>print_r()</code> and it works fine - so I'm guessing that's where my issue lies?</p> <p>Can anyone help at all? Thanks in advance!</p>
