Assigning Values to a 2d array

Question

I am trying to assign values from a db to a 2d array, but its only showing the last iterms.

Here is the code:

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
$MyData = array( array("Focus Area", $row["FocusArea"]),
               array("Finding Title", $row["FindingTitle"]),
               array("Finding Detail", $row["FindindDetail"]) 
             ); 

}//End While

What am I doing wrong please help.

Answer 1

$MyData[] = $row;

would be enough

I'd also suggest to make a function, as getting an array from db is a very common routine.
So, you'll be able to get your data in one line,

$myData = getRows("SELECT * FROM table");

Answer 2

You're declaring a new array each time the loop runs. Declare it out of the while loop, and add the new values.

$MyData = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
$MyData[] = array( array("Focus Area", $row["FocusArea"]),
               array("Finding Title", $row["FindingTitle"]),
               array("Finding Detail", $row["FindindDetail"]) 
             ); 

}//End While

Answer 3

$myData = array();
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($results)){
$MyData[] = array( array("Focus Area", $row["FocusArea"]),
               array("Finding Title", $row["FindingTitle"]),
               array("Finding Detail", $row["FindindDetail"]) 
             ); 

}//End While

this will do the trick
