I have a MySQL query that I want to draw an associative array from - but I want the 'key' to the array to be the identifying element of the row, and I'm stuck on how to get what I want.
For instance: Each row in the result set contains an id number, a keyword and a count related to that keyword. so in a 'while' loop I can get an associative array like $row["id"], $row["word"], etc. with no problem. However - later (outside of the 'while' loop) I want to be able, given the id number, to get the keyword and the count. Like this pseudo code: $id_list(1150, 1160, 1170); for each $item in $id_list { print ($item["word"] : $item["count"]); } The idea is that I want a series of associative arrays that might be otherwise set like... $1150["word"] = "Blue"; $1150["count"] = 12; $1160["word"] = "Red"; ...etc.... ...except drawn from a MySQL query. Any ideas how to achieve this?
