Re: [PHP] Strip numerical indices from array [SOLVED]
Larry, Thank you for responding. ... you want to be using mysql_fetch_assoc() instead... Thank you, that helps me achieve what I need. Or, better yet, use mysqli_ ... if you're running PHP 5 (which you are, right? Yes, I am running PHP 5. However, this mysqli usage is clearly not as simple as replacing every instance of mysql_ with mysqli_. I will look into it further and see if I can migrate to using mysqli_ somehow. Thank you for the advice. -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

And actually depending on your use case (shared server, dedicated, etc.) PDO may be a better target since PDO is part of a default PHP 5 install these days but I don't believe mysqli is. I'm just pointing out that there are better database drivers than mysql_, especially with regards to security.

[PHP] Strip numerical indices from array
PHP General list, I've got an associative array that also includes a numerical index. The numerical index was automatically generated from the mysql_fetch_array command, so it the values are the duplicates of the associative key names. Is there a way to simply strip off the numerical index, leaving only the associative key names? -- Dave M G -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] Strip numerical indices from array
There is, but you want to be using mysql_fetch_assoc() instead which gives you just the keyed indexes in the first place. Or, better yet, use mysqli_ or PDO which offer better security than mysql_ if you're running PHP 5 (which you are, right? g) On Sunday 12 August 2007, Dave M G wrote: PHP General list, I've got an associative array that also includes a numerical index.
