I guess it's because I didn't really follow Niklas' post, so I'll ask
the first part of yesterday's question again, if someone can help me
think my way through it. I've been looking at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php but don't really get HOW to
build an array from my MySQL data.
I'm exploding data from $mydata->KW
explode(";", $mydata->KW);
(It's a bunch of author names separated by ; in a bibliographic
database.)
I want to compile everything in One Single array, called $authors and
output it to the screen. Later, I'll aphabetise and sort the output ...
Where/How do I start in building a new array? ".=" doesn't work:
$authors .= explode(";", $mydata->KW);
How do I construct the array?
Will I be able to alpabetise it?
-------------snip------------------
$myconnection = mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection);
$news = mysql_query("select KW from $table");
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
$authors .= explode(";", $mydata->KW);
}
foreach ($authors as $author)
{
echo "$author<br>\n";
}
