Robert--
You're on the right track... I'm assuming $row is the result of a
mysql_fetch_assoc() call, and $row['item'] contains the hashed value
(either "m_r", "m_c", or whatever)... Try this:
<?php
$item_list = array('Mens Ring' => m_r, 'Mens Charm' => m_c, 'Womens
Ring' => w_r,'Womens Charm' => w_c);
#query db and get a result snipped
echo $item_list[$row['item']];
?>
Good luck,
Matt

Subject: [PHP-DB] Hashes
I'm trying to use a hash to translate a value into something human
readable. I know how to do this with an if-else but that seems like a
waste of typing.
I have a bunch of items in the db and their values are abbreciations
such as 'm_r'. I want m_r to show on the page as "Mens Rings". I was
trying to do it like this but echo $item returned "Array":
<?php
#query db and get a result snipped
$item = $row[item];
$item = array('Mens Ring' => m_r, 'Mens Charm' => m_c, 'Womens Ring' =>
w_r,'Womens Charm' => w_c);
echo $item;
?>
Any help would be appreciated.
thnx,
robert
