str_replace not working correctly

PHP
1

Hi All,

first post!, Im having a problem with str_replace inside a while loop. I have an array var named $csv_header_2.

the array is look like this see below



$csv_header_2 = ("Postcard"=>"Postcard","Sticker"=>Sticker)

and so on. The loop below performs a db functions and retrieve values for each postcard, sticker etc. so if done right the array should look like this



$csv_header_2 = ("Postcard"=>1027,"Sticker"=>300)

but i get



$csv_header_2 = ("Postcard"=>"Postcard","Sticker"=>50)





while(doing something)
{
    while ($t_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($type_result)) 
    {
       $search = $t_row['product_type_name'];
       $csv_header_2 =    str_replace($search,$t_row['total_points'],$csv_header_2);
     }
     
    
}

i cant figure this out and why it is not working, any help would be appreciated

Please don’t forget this part, it’s fundamental :slight_smile:

do an echo of $search and see if it ever has the value “Postcard”

Hi, thanks for the reply, i have done an echo, and the values are all correct!
and i have also tried preg_replace but no luck there either!

Please do a print_r of $csv_header_2 before the loop, one after, and an echo of $search in the loop, and post the results here.
