Values disappear from my array :( HELP!

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 by admin

hey all, I have a lil mysql/php/apache script that queries a database
and pulls put 5 integers.

These 5 integers are then displayed in an HTML table

Code: [Select]<?php
$i=0;
global $Val_Store;
while ($i < $num) {

$f1=mysql_result($result,$i,"Changes");
$f2=mysql_result($result,$i,"Disposition");

?>

<tr>
<td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f1; ?></font></td>
<td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f2; ?></font></td>

</tr>

<?php

$Val_Store[i] = $f1;

$i++;
echo $Val_Store[i] . "-> Val_STORE" . $i . "<br />";
}



This is just a snippet.
But what is happening is:
A while loop is going through the rows of results obtained from the query, placing the values in temporary variables f1 and f2 (f1 are my integers of interest), and using f1 and f2 to fill the HTML table like this:
<td><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><?php echo $f1; ?></font></td>

BUT what i am also doing is storing the temporary values in f1 in the array $Val_Store
Code: [Select]$Val_Store[i] = $f1;
$i++;

And then printing them ....

Code: [Select]echo $Val_Store[i] . "-> Val_STORE" . $i . "<br />";



Leaving me with
84-> Val_STORE1
114-> Val_STORE2
99-> Val_STORE3
77-> Val_STORE4
5-> Val_STORE5


WHICH IS SUPER!


BUT if i try executing the following code in other sections of my script....

Code: [Select]<?
echo "DEBUG " . $Val_Store[2] . " DEBUG";
?>

...the arrays appears to be empty. Surely it should have spat out element number 2!!

Output:
DEBUG DEBUG
^



Can anyone help me keep my array elements??

Many Thanks
