Turns out that objects returned from SQL queries contain two parts
for every field, one with a string key and one with an index key.
Adding an "is_numeric" test on the keys allows you to filter out the
numeric keys if you want to. For example:
foreach ($row as $key => $value)
{
if (!is_numeric($key))
{
/* do stuff here */
}
}

Hi
I think this is probably just a misunderstanding on my part, but
I'm creating associative arrays with string keys from MySQL query
results and when I put a value in the array, I get the expected key
association along with an index key that has a different value.
For example: If I have a table "Foo," do a select, perform
coersions on the results, and place the coerced value in an array
with a key, a second uncoerced value is also placed in the array
with an index key. I know all associative arrays have both key and
index accessors, but I would think that the values should be the same.
Here's the full function.
(Note: The line where values are added to the array is: "$fields
[$key] = $value;" after the "coersions" switch statement)
function query_database($inQuery)
{
$query = $inQuery;
$coersions = null;
$object_key = null;
$group_by_key = null;
if (is_array($inQuery))
{
$query = $inQuery['query'];
$coersions = $inQuery['coersions'];
$object_key = $inQuery['object_key'];
$group_by_key = $inQuery['group_by_key'];
}
try
{
// determine query type
if (strpos($query, 'insert') === false)
{
$rows = array();
$rowCounter = 0;
foreach ($this->db->query($query) as $row)
{
$fields = array();
$recordKey = $rowCounter;
foreach ($row as $key => $value)
{
// remember this key if it matches the
user specified object key
if (($object_key != null) && ($key ==
$object_key))
$recordKey =
$value;
// perform user specified coersions
if ($coersions != null)
{
switch ($coersions[$key])
{
case 'integer':
$value
+= 0;
break;
case 'float':
$value
+= 0.0;
break;
case 'datetime':
$value
= new date_object($value);
break;
case 'base64_decode':
$value
= base64_decode($value);
break;
case 'hex_decode':
$value
= $this->hex_decode($value);
}
}
$fields[$key]
= $value;
}
// perform grouping if requested
if ($group_by_key == null)
$rows[$recordKey] =
$fields;
else
{
$groupKey =
$fields[$group_by_key];
if ($rows[$groupKey] == null)
$rows[$groupKey] =
array();
$rows[$groupKey][] =
$fields;
}
$rowCounter++;
}
var_dump($rows);
}
else
{
// return last insert ID
return ($this->db->lastInsertId() + 0);
}
}
catch (PDOException $error)
{
print "Error!: " . $error->getMessage() . "<br/>";
die();
}
}
And here's some sample output
array(6) {
["task_id"]=>
int(22)
[0]=>
string(2) "22"
["container_id"]=>
int(3784)
[1]=>
string(4) "3784"
["name"]=>
string(12) "108-6972.XTG"
[2]=>
string(24) "3130382D363937322E585447"
}
Note how the named fields differ from their corresponding index
fields.
task_id=> int(22) while [0]=> string(2) "22"
container_id=> int(3784 while [1]= > string(4) "3784"
name=> string(12) "108-6972.XTG" while [2]=> string(24)
"3130382D363937322E585447"
Why is that? Is there any way to fix this without coercing the same
value twice? Once for the key accessor and once for the index
accessor?
Thanks In advance
Ken
