John,
The long expanation is I'm indexing 2000 records to make a list of each author, and
which record I can find them in. It's a bibliography thing. I want to do this, but I
don't know how to code it:
$array();
$myconnection = mysql_connect($server,$user,$pass);
mysql_select_db($db,$myconnection);
$news = mysql_query("select id,AUS from $table");
while ($mydata = mysql_fetch_object($news))
{
$tempauthors = explode(";", $mydata->AUS);
foreach ($tempauthors as $singleauthor)
{
-------having trouble here--------------
add $singleauthor and $mydata->id to $array
-------having trouble here--------------
}
}
mysql_close;
-------having trouble here--------------
foreach ($array as $single_AUS, $single_id)
$sql = 'insert into $db.$table2.($single_AUS, $single_id)';
-------having trouble here--------------
mysql_query($sql)
It's a little more complicated than that, but advice on coding this much would help.
John
P.S. my condoleances to New York today. Can't believe it was 3 years ago already.
