PHP implode is exploding my mind!!!!!!

What i want to do: pull all forum ids having a specific parent forum, and place them in a string ( $newsfeedforumids ) so they can be added to end of external.php lilke this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=rss2&amp;forumids=$newsfeedforumids

My query:

PHP Code:


		
			
// set parent forum id

$parentid = 6;



// get child forumids for parent

$forumids_q = $db->query_read("

    SELECT forumid 

    FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum 

    WHERE parentid = $parentid

");

$forumids = mysql_fetch_array($forumids_q);

$newsfeedforumids = implode(",", $forumids);

Then I plug the $newsfeedforumids onto the end of external.php llike so:

Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=$newsfeedforumids" target="_blank">Click for Feed</a>

however there's 14 different forum ids supposed to be queried, and all i get attached to the end of the url is the first result as so:
bburl/external.php?type=rss2&forumids=7,7

What am i doing wrong?

You are misunderstanding what mysql_fetch_array() does. This fetches one row of the result set as an array, not the entire result set. You need a 'while' loop to fetch the results row by row to build your array of forumids.

thanks Paul, this worked for me:

PHP Code:


		
			
$newsfids_q = $db->query_read

    ("

    SELECT forumid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum 

    WHERE (parentid = " . $news_setup['artist_news_parent_forum_id'] . " 

    OR forumid = " . $news_setup['eclipse_news_forum_id'] . ")

    ");

while ($newsfid = mysql_fetch_array($newsfids_q))

{

    $forumids .= $newsfid['forumid'] . "," ;

}

$newsfeedforumids = $forumids;

would there have been a better way to do it than above?

Yes there would be if you want to be fully integrated. Use vBulletins $db->fetch_array. ;)

PHP Code:


		
			
$newsfids_q = $db->query_read
    ("
    SELECT forumid FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forum 
    WHERE (parentid = " . $news_setup['artist_news_parent_forum_id'] . " 
    OR forumid = " . $news_setup['eclipse_news_forum_id'] . ")
    ");
while ($newsfid = $db->fetch_array($newsfids_q))
{
    $forumids .= $newsfid['forumid'] . "," ;
}
$newsfeedforumids = $forumids;
