I will take theirs and modify it just a little more to create the print_r() output that the OP suggested.
function getPopulationById($id) {
$dataSet = array();
if ( ( $result = mysql_query('SELECT country, name, population FROM users WHERE id = ' . $id) !== false ) {
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
$dataSet[$id] = $row;
}
}
return $dataSet;
}
This will return:
Array {
[id] array {
[country] = USA
[name] = test
[population] = 123
}
}
OPs way would result in a layout like the following...
Array {
[id] array {
[country] = array
[0] = USA
}
[name] = array
[0] = test
}
[population] = array
[0] = 123
}
}
}
I don't see a reason why the OP was suggesting that he do it this way... I can't see the reason for the extra nested array for the final country,
name, and population values. Should be the value, nothing more.
