Hi
Many thanks for your time Matt. I tried that method amongst a few
others, and couldn't seem to get it right. What I have eventually come
across is the function 'array-push' (bizarre!) to add a new array line
for each record (after it's been initially defined). It seems to work
for me, and hopefully it is the correct, standard way to do such a task.
$strCusts = array(array('id','name'));
/* setting up empty array for cust id and name */
if (mysql_num_rows($resCusts) > 0) {
$intCusts = mysql_num_rows($resCusts);
/* store the number of records retrieved */
while ($oRsCusts = mysql_fetch_array($resCusts)) {
array_push($strCusts,array($oRsCusts["id"],$oRsCusts["name"])); /* add
new array row */
}
}
Many thanks once again.
