Looping Tutorial Help (PHP)

[ukgimp]

Hello I am looking for a tutorial on how to loop until EOF.

I have no problem getting one row from the db with:

<?php printf(mysql_result($pResult,0,"UserID"));?>

I have tried to loop, but with no success, I did however manage to grind the server to a halt as my script produced and infinite loop :-).

Cheers

Richard

There are a number of ways to accomplish this here's one example:

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result);
for ($i = 0; $i <= $num_rows; $i++) {
print mysql_fetch_array($result);
}

The functions mysql_fetch_row(), mysql_fetch_array() and mysql_fetch_object() return one row from the result, and then move the pointer on. If there are no more rows to fetch, it returns false. This means you can you use a very simple while loop:

$result=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sometable");
while($row=mysql_fetch_row($result)){
do_something_with_row();
}

This will automatically terminate when the last row has been processed.

The difference between mysql_fetch_row() and mysql_fetch_array() is that the first returns the results in a numeric array ($row[0], $row[1] etc), while the latter returns a the results an array containing both numeric and associative keys ($row["name"], $row["email"] etc). mysql_fetch_object() returns an object ($row->name, $row->email etc).
