    <p>first let me explain what I am trying to achieve:</p> <p>I've got an array of user items, consisting of an ID(item_id) and quantity(e.g. 10 items) If a user purchases an item, it's added to the array including the quantity. If a user purchases an (in the array) existing item, '1' is added to the quantity.</p> <p>I got really close with the help of this post: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9240251/checking-if-array-value-exists-in-a-php-multidimensional-array?rq=1">Checking if array value exists in a PHP multidimensional array</a> </p> <p>this is the code I am using right now:</p> <pre><code> $item_id = arg(1); $quantity = '1'; $found = false; $bought_items = null; $data = null; foreach ($user_items as $key =&gt; $data) { if ($data['a'] == $item_id) { // The item has been found =&gt; add the new points to the existing ones $data['b'] += 1; $found = true; break; // no need to loop anymore, as we have found the item =&gt; exit the loop } } if ($found === false) { $bought_items = array('a' =&gt; $item_id, 'b' =&gt; $quantity); } $array = array($bought_items, $data); </code></pre> <p>If the item_id is non existing, it is added to the array If the item_id is existing, the quantity will 'receive' +1</p> <p>so far so good</p> <p><strong>now the actual problem, let's sketch the scenario:</strong></p> <p>I purchase item 500 -> array contains: id=500, quantity=1</p> <p>I purchase item 500 -> array contains: id=500, quantity=2</p> <p>I purchase item 600 -> array contains: id=500, quantity=2, id=600, quantity=1</p> <p><strong>after this it goes wrong</strong></p> <p>I then purchase item 500 <strong>or</strong> 600, the other item is removed from the array. So when I purchase item 500, item 600 and its quantities are removed from the array.</p> <p>I've been puzzling for hours but can't find the mistake, I know I'm overlooking something logical. I think it's going wrong in the for each.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
