POWhile loop making too many arrays
text
Body
copied!<p>I need help, badly. What I am making right now is a date picker. Pretty much updating on it for my own use.</p> <p>I needed to block out specific date ranges. I found a code to do this, and it utilizes arrays. I like that.</p> <p>What I then needed was a way to create the array with every date within the range, because I only entered the Start Date and the End Date. Found one. Works like a charm.</p> <p>But now, I have a problem. It creates a new array using the same $. So the only array that the calender registers is the newest one. Essentially, what I need is just 1 array.</p> <p>I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. Been thinking about this for a while now. Any help? <code></p> <pre><code>function createDateRangeArray($strDateFrom,$strDateTo) //Changes a Range of Dates to Specific Dates { $aryRange = array(); //Creates an Array $iDateFrom = mktime(1,0,0,substr($strDateFrom,5,2), substr($strDateFrom,8,2),substr($strDateFrom,0,4)); $iDateTo = mktime(1,0,0,substr($strDateTo,5,2), substr($strDateTo,8,2),substr($strDateTo,0,4)); if ($iDateTo >= $iDateFrom) { array_push($aryRange,date('Y-m-d',$iDateFrom)); // first entry while ($iDateFrom<$iDateTo) { $iDateFrom += 86400; // add 24 hours array_push($aryRange,date('Y-m-d',$iDateFrom)); } } return $aryRange; //Returns to step 1 and adds another value into the array } $d = "SELECT startdate, enddate FROM classdetails"; $f = mysql_query($d); while ($e = mysql_fetch_array($f)) { while (list($g, $h) = each($e)) { $$g = $h; } { $aryDates = createDateRangeArray($startdate,$enddate); print_r($aryDates); echo "<br />"; } } </code></pre> <p></code><br> And for those wondering, I do include references of where some of my work is taken from, even if heavily modified.</p> <p>As you can see, the problem lies with the fact that once it creates an array, it just creates a new one. I've tried using ifelse statements, empty(), isset(), increments (didn't even know how to use them, just thought a long time and deleted it).</p> <p>So, what can I do here?</p> <p>What I always get back is (I only have 2 rows of dummy data): </p> <p><code> Array ( [0] => 2010-12-16 [1] => 2010-12-17 [2] => 2010-12-18 [3] => 2010-12-19 [4] => 2010-12-20 [5] => 2010-12-21 [6] => 2010-12-22 [7] => 2010-12-23 )<br> Array ( [0] => 2010-12-25 [1] => 2010-12-26 [2] => 2010-12-27 [3] => 2010-12-28 [4] => 2010-12-29 ) </code> </p> <p>The problem lies with the loop itself. The first instance does what it is tole to do. The second instance onwards, $aryDates just gets replaced.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>
