Problem with foreach

[m|sf|t]

All,
The code below was working fine until I upgraded to 4.3.10.
However, now, it displays:

c:\backups\sqlbackup\Array-020505-0951am.sql

instead of:

c:\backups\sqlbackup\a-020505-0951am.sql
or
c:\backups\sqlbackup\b-020505-0951am.sql
etc. etc. etc.

$dbnames = array ("a", "b", "c");
$savepath = "c:\\backups\\sqlbackup\\";
$date = date("mdy-hia");

foreach($dbnames as $dbname) {
$filename = $savepath . $dbname . "-" . $date . ".sql";
echo $filename;
}

Thanks.

Well, it works as expected here. You could get Array if $dbnames was an array
containing a single array, or the single string "Array", or you'd mixed up
$dbname with $dbnames somewhere in the loop, but I don't see how the exact code
you posted could give that output.

Thanks, that is the exact code that I am using here (Win2K, 4.3.10) and it
displays the info as I posted. I can't figure it out. Could it be a setting
in PHP.INI or something ?

Hm. Unless I'm missing something subtle, no, I still can't think of anything
that would produce that output from that code, whatever settings were changed.

FYI here's the exact code and result from my machine:

Z:\public_html>type test.php
<?php
$dbnames = array ("a", "b", "c");
$savepath = "c:\\backups\\sqlbackup\\";
$date = date("mdy-hia");

foreach($dbnames as $dbname) {
$filename = $savepath . $dbname . "-" . $date . ".sql";
echo $filename;
}
?>
Z:\public_html>d:\php-4.3.10-Win32\php.exe -q test.php
c:\backups\sqlbackup\a-020505-0740pm.sqlc:\backups\sqlbackup\b-020505-0740pm.sql
c:\backups\sqlbackup\c-020505-0740pm.sql

Dang - I wasn't hoping for that. I pasted your code into a new file and
tried it, same ARRAY results. Argggh.

C:\PHP>php fromng.php
Content-type: text/html

c:\backups\sqlbackup\Array-020505-1048am.sqlc:\backups\sqlbackup\Array-020505-10
48am.sqlc:\backups\sqlbackup\Array-020505-1048am.sql
C:\PHP>

Thanks again.

I suspect that you need to upgrade to the latest version of Zend
Optimizer (see the red text on this page:
http://www.php.net/downloads.php).

I saw exactly the same thing when I upgraded to PHP 4.3.10: inside foreach
loops which didn't use the keys as well as the values (eg foreach ($array
as $item) {...} rather than foreach ($array as $key => $value) {...}) PHP
would return an array each time, containing both the key and the value.
This went away when I reinstalled Zend Optimizer.

If this isn't your problem, then I'm at a loss :)
