liquidskin Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I need to loop through my db and create strings from 2 columns on my db. data in column1 is '22,33,33,33,25,25,25,14,14,14,14,14,14' data in column2 is '11am,12pm,1pm,2pm,3pm,4pm,5pm,6pm,7pm,8pm,9pm,10pm, 11pm' the end result I need is a string such as: $body= "11am, 22 <line break> 12pm, 33 <line break> ...... If anyone has any examples of something like this or can get me started it would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidskin Posted October 15, 2010 Author Share Posted October 15, 2010 I feel like I'm getting close... // separate array values by comma and store for ( $i = 0; $i < $rowcount; $i += 1) { $string1 = $precipData[$i]; $string2 = $hourData[$i]; $explode1[$i] = explode(",", $string1); //precip $explode2[$i] = explode(",", $string2); //hours $countHolder = $explode1[$i]; $countValuesInArray = count($countHolder); // loop through # of values in array for ( $j = 0; $j < $countValuesInArray; $j += 1) { $bodyBuild[$j] = $explode2[$i][$j]. "\n". $explode1[$i][$j]; } } $comma_separated = implode(",", $bodyBuild); echo $comma_separated; this outputs " 9pm 40,10pm 40,11pm 40,12am 40,1am 40,2am 40,3am 40,4am 40,5am 40,6am 40,7am 40,8am 20,9am 20" which is the last row in the db. I need to store this for each row, plus I need the linebreak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenrbnsn Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Something like this should work: <?php $col1 = explode(',','22,33,33,33,25,25,25,14,14,14,14,14,14'); $col2 = explode(',','11am,12pm,1pm,2pm,3pm,4pm,5pm,6pm,7pm,8pm,9pm,10pm,11pm'); $tmp = array(); foreach ($col2 as $i=>$v) { $tmp[] = $v . ',' . $col1[$i]; } $body = implode("<br>\n",$tmp) . "<br>\n"; echo $body; ?> Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
