I am having trouble with one of my arrays. For some reason, whenever I test it I get this error:
Unknown column 'ext_token' in 'where clause'
if I have the or die mysql error on,- or I get
Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given
, if I take it out.
I’m not sure whether it has something to do with the fact that the first columnName in the array is ext_token, but I thought I would get rid of that by the if below.
Here is the code for the array:
$mat_total = array();
foreach ($result_array1 as $columnName => $columnData){
if($columnName != "ext_token" || "ext_token_child"){
var_dump($columnName);
$mat_sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM materials WHERE mat_token = $columnName");
$mat_array = mysql_fetch_assoc($mat_sql);
$material_tok = $mat_array['mat_token'];
$material_price_unit = $mat_array['material_price_per_unit'];
$total_mat_price = $material_price_unit * $columnData;
array_push($mat_total, "$material_tok => $total_mat_price");
}
else{
echo "hello";
}
}
Thanks for any and all help.
Edit: in terms of the array here is a clearer version of it
Column name: ext_token Column data: roof
Column name: ext_token_child Column data: felt
Column name: concrete Column data: 4
Column name: cement Column data: 3
Column name: sand Column data: 2
Column name: wood_4_2 Column data: 4
Column name: wood_8_2 Column data: 2
Column name: felt Column data: 2
or there is this:
array(8) { ["ext_token"]=> string(4) "roof" ["ext_token_child"]=> string(4) "felt" ["concrete"]=> string(1) "4" ["cement"]=> string(1) "3" ["sand"]=> string(1) "2" ["wood_4_2"]=> string(1) "4" ["wood_8_2"]=> string(1) "2" ["felt"]=> string(1) "2" }
