I have a question I hope you can help me with..
I am doing a large SELECT statement using WHERE/IN and passing in an $array for all the 'search terms' to be used.
quick example.. (although in the end the $array is much larger)
$harNumArray = (0100001943,0100001944,0100002392,0100007414,0100012110,0100015761,0100015835);
$harNumArray2 = implode(',', $harNumArray);
$results = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT har_id, guar_num FROM placements WHERE har_id IN ($harNumArray2)");
//**outputting the matches values/data from the search (select)**
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results)) {
//echo "HAR_ID: ". $row["har_id"]. "\tGUAR_NUM: " . $row["guar_num"] . "\r\n<BR>";
echo $row["har_id"]. "\t" . $row["guar_num"] . "\r\n<BR>";
fwrite($fh, $row["har_id"] . "\t" . $row["guar_num"] . "\r\n");
}
and this works fine/great (*thanks msturdy for tip)... 'when' there IS a match.. if there is not a match..nothing is returned.
However.. if for example the first value in the $harNumArray (index 0) was NOT found in the database... nothing is returned in the $row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results loop...
ONLY found numbers.. and their matching/associated data that was pulled form the DB with it..
I’d like it to be like this still:
- 0100001943^- //missing/hot found number (entry) in the DB but still using original search term in first position)
- 0100001944^0123467894
- 0100002392^0011122234
- 0100007414^0002130567
- 0100012110^0000045432
- 0100015761^0001000045
- 0100015835^0998775233
Or like this would be acceptable (but above layout would be better):
- -^- //missing/hot found number (entry) in the DB
- 0100001944^0123467894
- 0100002392^0011122234
- 0100007414^0002130567
- 0100012110^0000045432
- 0100015761^0001000045
- 0100015835^0998775233
If the first number in the $harNumArray array is not found in the WHERE/IN SELECT.. it doesnt return anything (which makes sense)..
however.. I 'need' to account for the non-matches.. and insert a blank (or something).. to keep the spacing/order of the final 'list' (text file)
How can I go about doing this?
thanks!
EDIT::
here is current state of code: (still returns no matches)
@Cal
//stack overflow approach:
//format array data
$harNumArray2 = "'" . implode("','", $harNumArray) . "'"; //single quotes
//$harNumArray2 = implode(',', $harNumArray); //no quotes
//$harNumArray2 = '"' . implode('","', $harNumArray) . '"'; //double quotes
//print_r("ARRAY CHECK: " . $harNumArray2);
$results = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT har_id, guar_num FROM placements WHERE har_id IN ($harNumArray2) ORDER BY har_id ASC") or die(mysql_error());
//$results = mysqli_query($mysqli, "SELECT har_id, guar_num FROM placements WHERE har_id IN (" . $harNumArray2 . ") ORDER BY har_id ASC") or die(mysql_error());
echo("<BR>");
print_r("SELECT har_id, guar_num FROM placements WHERE har_id IN ($harNumArray2)");
echo("<BR>");
$rows = array();
while($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($results)) {
$rows[$row['har_id']] = $row;
}
foreach ($harNumArray as $id){
if (isset($rows[$id])){
//... do something with $rows[$id]
print_r($rows[$id] . "<BR>");
}else{
//... no match for $id
print_r("....no match....");
echo("<BR>");
}
}
still no match is returned... no matter single quotes, no quotes or double quotes..
stumped?
thanks
UPDATE II:
@Cal-
ok I ran the code you supplied..
this was my output:
Array ( [har_id] => 000100007537 [guar_num] => 0000676798 ) Array ( [har_id] => 000100007538 [guar_num] => 0000676798 ) Array ( [har_id] => 000100007539 [guar_num] => 0000676798 ) Array ( [har_id] => 000100007768 [guar_num] => 0000675266 ) Array ( [har_id] => 000100007769 [guar_num] => 0000675266 )
HAR_ID in DB = varchar(12)
GUAR_NUM in DB = varchar(12)
if I leave OFF the quotes in the #results query.. I get a return on data.. (but no matter what.. no matches found)
