Hi everyone,
I have a shopping cart array consisting of the following:
$pd_id[] // Product ID
$qty[] // Quantity
$opta[] // Option A
$optb[] // Option B
$optc[] // Option C
When the final checkout button is pressed, I am going to insert these fields into my order table (tbl_order) (along with a bunch of other name/address stuff...)
The problem I'm having is that the above fields are built as an array. There can be anywhere from 1 to 10 items in the shopping cart, and I want to insert them into the table as follows (there are 5 fields multiplied by 10 possible items, so my table has 50 potential fields for this info):
pd_id1
qty1
opta1
optb1
optc2
pd_id2
qty2
opta2
optb2
optc2
...etc...etc... all the way to pd_id10.
Assuming I already have the above array completely populated, how exactly do you write the ForEach loop that would generate the $sql insert? Or should I just loop from 1 through 10 and do five inserts for each of them? (In this case, won't I have to initialize null values for numbers NOT in the shopping cart?)
Just wanted some advice on the best way to approach this. I always seem to do things the hardest possible way... and then one of you guys comes along and asks me "why didn't you just do THIS?" and provides me with the *correct* way that I should've tried in the first place. :)
Thanks in advance!

What about having only these fields rather than creating each set of columns of each product.
pd_id, qty, opta, optb
having the values like
1, 10, some value, some value
45,3, some value, some value

foreach does implicitly cast every object in the collection to the specified
taget type without warning.
Without generics this behaviour had the advantage of less typing for us
since casting was neccessary in nearly every collection. But with generics I
consider this feature of foreach as dangerous. Casting is now almost always
unwanted.

What about an enhancement of foreach loops which allows a syntax like that:
foeach(int i in 1..10) { } // forward
foeach(int i in 99..2) { } // backwards
foeach(char c in 'a'..'z') { } // chars
foeach(Color c in Red..Blue) { } // using enums
It should work with all integral datatypes. Maybe we can step a bit further:
foeach(int i in 1..10, 30..100) { } // from 1 to 10 and 30 to hundred

When I do this:
foreach( Button btn in myForm.Controls )
An exception is raised when no buttons exist. I would simply expect
execution to continue after the foreach loop (just as would be the case
with a regular for loop when the second expression is false when the
loop begins).
Is there an explanation for this?

Hi there. Can anybody comment on the efficiency of the following technique:
foreach (SomeItem Item in SomeNativeDotNet.Collection)
{
// Whatever
}
My concern is that the "Collection" property itself may be invoked on each
iteration rather than being called just once at the outset of "foreach". If
so then there's no way to know whether the call to retrieve this property is

Is it safe to remove elements from an array that foreach is working on?
(normally this is not the case but not sure in php) If so is there an
efficient way to handle it? (I could add the indexes to a temp array and
delete afterwards if necessary but since I'm actually working in a nested
situation this could get a little messy. I guess I could set there values to
null and remove them afterwards?
Thanks,

Why does not this cause a compile error because a ulong has never been

In a book that I'm reading to learn C#, it says that when using a foreach() loop, a read-only copy of the iteration variable is used and you cannot modify it. For example:
int pins = {9, 3, 7, 2}
int newPin = 10;
foreach(int pin in pins)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
