My database is set up in this way:
fan_roster: has player id (play_id) , week, and stats on that player for
that week. So there are 20 records for each player, because there are 20
weeks.
So what I need to do is add up all the players weekly totals. so pass_yrd1
for week1 + pass_yrd1 for week2 etc.
Then I need to put the season total for that players passing yards into my
roster table under pass_yrd. The roster table only as 1 record per player
and has season stats instead of weekly stats.
So when my loop goes through and doesn't match $i with ros_id. I need to
advance $i one but ros_id needs to stay the same until there is a match.
As you can see form this url:
http://55yardline.cflmain.com/55main/2003/fantasy/tests/update.php
it's kind of working, except where there are holes in the roster table..
for example, there is no ros_id equal to 12 so it should echo 12 no player
but it seems to skip.
Hope that makes sense.

Ok I'm trying to write this function to up date some fields
in my database
so i'm grabbing some info from a query and throwing it into
an array (with
mysql_fetch_array).
one of the values i'm puting into that array is the table id. I'm then
comparing the table id with the value of $i in my loop. Now
my problem is
when I loop through and the table id is not equal to $i I
need to add 1 to
$i but I need to move the array pointer back one.
In the code below I used prev() but i'm getting warnings
about the Passed
variable is not an array.
http://55yardline.cflmain.com/55main/2003/fantasy/tests/update.php
I'm thinking that prev() must not view an array fetch from a
database the
same or something. But what else can I use besides prev() to
rewind the
pointer by 1?
Thanks,
?php
include function.php;
connect1();
//query roster database and put results into an array.
$num1 = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM roster);
$num2 = mysql_fetch_array($num1);
//set i to zero
$i = 0;
//start loop to determine if $i matches the current roster id
do {
$i = $i + 1;
if ($num2[ros_id] == $i) {
//if a match is found, query the fan_roster database
where the play_id =
$i
//and put the results into a array
$upd = mysql_query(SELECT * FROM fan_roster WHERE play_id='$i');
$updr = mysql_fetch_array($upd);
//loop through the passing field and add them up
do {
$passing = $passing + $updr[pass_yrd1];
} while($updr = mysql_fetch_array($upd));
//Print feedback
echo Player:$i total Passing: $passing $updr[play_id]br;
//update the roster table with the total $passing where ros_id=$i
$upd1 = mysql_query(UPDATE roster SET pass_yrd='$passing' WHERE
ros_id='$i');
//reset passing for next loop
$passing = 0;
} else {
//if there isn't a match, add 1 to $i
$i = $i + 1;
//print feedback
echo $i no playerbr;
//put the array pointer back one for next loop
$num2 = prev($num2[ros_id];
(1) prev() takes an array as its argument, not an individual element, so
prev($num2) would be syntactically correct (but I doubt it's what you really
mean).
(2) anyway, this whole statement is pointless as you immediately do:
}
} while($num2 = mysql_fetch_array($num1));
Which promptly overwrites the value of $num2 you just put there!
What are you *really* trying to do?
