Returning Mysql Results as a single array of keyvalue pairs

PHP
1

so my table looks like
NAME CountryID
AFGHANISTAN AF
ALAND ISLANDS AX
ALBANIA AL
ALGERIA DZ
AMERICAN SAMOA AS

I want the results to look like

$data = array('AFGHANISTAN'=>'AF','AX'=>'ALAND ISLANDS','AL'=>'ALBANIA','DZ'=>'ALGERIA','AS'=>'AMERICAN SAMOA');

in other words, a single array. How do I go about this?

You’ll have to loop through the mysql result set and create that array.

Clearly but what is the best way?

This is what I have now.

$data = array();

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){

$data[] = $row;
}

when I print_r($row) I get get an array that puts each $row in it’s own array which is not what I’m looking for.

Your help is appreciated.

4 
$data = array();
 
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)){
 
$data[$row['CountryID']] = $row['NAME'];
}

(or maybe you want vice versa?)

Excellent! Thank you!
