does NOT return an enumerated array, as the top line of the page states. It
ONLY returns an associative array.
If there was an ifx_fetch_array like the one for MySQL, I would not have to
even post this question.
Please Note: I don't use Informix, but the following is an educated guess.
Even though it isn't an enumerated array, you should be able to get the
value using the name of the key. For example, to set your new query, you
would have something like:
/* DB Connect stuff precedes this as in example on:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.ifx-fetch-row.php */
while ifx_fetch_row($rid) {
$my_new_query =
'SELECT * FROM shipping WHERE orderdate = ' . $row['orderdate'] . '';
/* Now, take that query and do something with it. Call ifx_query or
something.*/
}
You could also just go through all the results in a similar fashion and set:
$orderdate = $row['orderdate'];
$ordertotal = $row['ordertotal'];
Hope that helps.

Hi, Have a try with something like this.

WHERE tracknum = '$trknum' ; $rid = ifx_query($Query, $connid, IFX_SCROLL) or die(An error occurred querying database); $row = ifx_fetch_row($rid, NEXT); $orderdate = $row['orderdate']; $Query = SELECT stuff . FROM somewhere . WHERE orderdate = '$orderdate' ; $rid = ifx_query($Query, $connid, IFX_SCROLL) or die(An error occurred querying database); @ifx_htmltbl_result($rid,border=1); ifx_free_result ($rid); ifx_close($connid); Regards, - Paul - - Original Message - From: wflow [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 10:23 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DB] Informix Question (Still need help,please) Chris, Thanks for the advice, of course I already did rtfm and the ifx_fetch_rows entry did not really help me.

Re: [PHP-DB] Informix Question (Still need help,please)
B,
Do your first query, then run this (for one record returned).
while($row = ifx_fetch_row($query_result_id)) {
for(reset($row); $fieldname=key($row); next($row)) {
$$fieldname = $row[$fieldname];
}
}
Do your second query.
The while statement will set each field value equal to the field name.
Dan
What I want to do is create another query from some of the data from
another
one. The question is how do I take the data I get back from my first
query
and put that into variables so I can build my second query. The example
I
have in mind is:
I a do a select tracknum,orderdate,ordertotal,status,shipdate from
orders
where tracknum = '$trknum' and I want the data returned into vars: like
orderdate = $orderdate so I can create a new query like: select * from
shipping where orderdate = '$orderdate'.
