Re: Associative array issues with loading values after initialization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I hav ebeen able to track down that this is the part not working. It throws a parse error: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE on the line where the foreach loop starts.

function dropbox_from_list(&$list, $selected_index){
   foreach ($list as $k => $v) {
       if (strcmp($selected_index, $k) == 0) {
           $select = ' SELECTED';
       }
       else {
           $select = '';
       }
       print "<option value='$k'$select>$v</option>";
   }
}

I should add, it is not working with this funciton, which could be the source of the issue.

I'd use foreach() here and avoid next(). At least, reset the array first. And maybe pass the array by reference:

function dropbox_from_list(&$list, $selected_index)
{
  foreach($list as $k => $v)
  {

       $k = key($nex);
       if (strcmp($selected_index, $k) == 0) {
           $select = ' SELECTED';
       }
       else {
           $select = '';
       }
       print("<option value='".$k."'".$select.">".$nex[$k]."</option>");
   }
}

Maybe you should also add what it is that's "not working".

The below function is not working.
function crm_get_country_list(){
global $dbh;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries ORDER BY pk_country_id ASC", $dbh) or die(mysql_error());
   $country_list = array(' ' =>' ');

Are you starting with an empty key & value so that you'll have an empty option in your select list? Why not just print an empty one?

   while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
       $country_list[$row['pk_countryID']] = $row['country_name'];
   }
return $country_list;
}

Start with the obvious: what does $country_list contain when it's returned?

Again, some details about what you're getting would go a long way toward getting some advice.
