setReturnType resultset

Using the following code I have managed to display the array straight after it

Code: [Select]

<?php    

  include_once "./cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("./cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $options = array( "<hr />", "noimage" => "");
  $objCpm->cpm_setReturnType("resultset");
  $table = $objCpm->cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom ("cat=1",100,1,$options);
  print_r($table) ;
  $objCpm->cpm_close();

?

Produces:

Code: [Select]

Array ( [0] => Array ( [pFilepath] => userpics/10004/ [pFilename] => Autumn_morning.jpg [pAid] => 3 [pFilesize] => 204624 [pTitle] => Autumn morning [pCaption] => The field opposite my home [pOwner_name] => Mike Young [pOwnerId] => 4 [pCtime] => 1193671357 [pHits] => 2 [pPid] => 7 [pPic_Rating] => 100000 [pVotes] => 100 [pWidth] => 1000 [pHeight] => 731 [pUser1] => [pUser2] => [pUser3] => [pUser4] => [cCid] => [cName] => [cDescription] => [cPos] => [cParent] => [cThumb] => [aAid] => 3 [aTitle] => Mikes bits and bobs [aDescription] => [aVisibility] => 0 [aPos] => 1 [aCategory] => 10004 [aThumb] => 0 [aKeyword] => [fullPathToThumb] => albums/userpics/10004/thumb_Autumn_morning.jpg [fullPathToNormal] => albums/userpics/10004/normal_Autumn_morning.jpg [fullPathToFull] => albums/userpics/10004/Autumn_morning.jpg [cpmSubtitle] => Autumn morning

I want to be able to use this array, grab some of the values and insert into another database table for further usage, only I'm having trouble grabbing the values. I've read up on arrays and it appears that they are seperated by '' or `` but the array above uses [].

So in the new file below I have insert into table, field is "filetype" and value is pFiletype which does not work, so I also tried pFiletype and filetype and even [pFiletype], but these do not work either. I'm obviously missing something about manipulating arrays...as I dont think resultset would have been written by Vuud for no reason

Code: [Select]

<?php    
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');

  include_once "./cpmfetch/cpmfetch.php";
  $objCpm = new cpm("./cpmfetch/cpmfetch_config.php");
  $options = array( "<hr />", "noimage" => "");
  $objCpm->cpm_setReturnType("resultset");
  $table = $objCpm->cpm_viewTopRatedMediaFrom ("cat=1",100,1,$options);
  print_r($table) ;
  $objCpm->cpm_close();

  $sql = "INSERT INTO {$CONFIG['TABLE_TEST']} ".
         "(filepath, filename) ".
         "VALUES ('pFilepath', 'pFilename')";
  $result = cpg_db_query($sql)

?

How can I grab certain parts of this array and insert them into a new database table?

Thanks in advance

Like this:

Code: [Select]


foreach ($table as $row){

  $sql = "INSERT INTO {$CONFIG['TABLE_TEST']} ".
         "(filepath, filename) ".
         "VALUES ('{$row['pFilepath']}', '{$row['pFilename']}')";

  cpg_db_query($sql);
}

Did you setup $CONFIG['TABLE_TEST'] in include/init.inc.php or is this just 'hit and hope' coding?

A little bit of hit and hope, the last few queries I put together involved table pictures and table albums, so I copied the query again and changed to table test, knowing I could remove $CONFIG['TABLE_TEST'] and replace with the table name to make it work. However looking into /includes/init.inc.php I see where to add table test but that it also has a utf8 regex and a link to where to get more info in the comments. I dont ureally understand it so will just avoid adding to this for now and query the databse table without &config.

Can you tell me what advantage is gained from using &config?

Thanks for the code Nibbler, it worked a treat!! Can be marked as solved now.

It means you can change the name of the table and use different prefixes without needing to change it all throughout the code.
