Having trouble with arrays

Hi guys

I am trying to compare every row of mysql database against an array. My aim is to compute the euclidean distance. This is my reference array:

Array ( [0] => 2.5 [1] => 120 [2] => 128 [3] => 2 [4] => 1000 )

And i Have written the following to compute first the difference betwenn the element.However my reference array can only be compare from the element of table i.e array[3].

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 foreach($array as $i=>$value){
 
            $sum[][$i]=($array[$i+3]- $input_arrays[$i]);

            }

Any time i run it it is given wrong results.
The following is my entire code

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

Can anyone spot a mistake?

Heya, poreko.

Given the example array you provided above:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Array ( [0] => 2.5 [1] => 120 [2] => 128 [3] => 2 [4] => 1000 )

What should $sum look like when your script is finished operating on it?

the reference array looks quite strange... (in terms of PHP syntax—at least to me)

according to php.net array keys may be only integers or strings. is "[0]" really one of these? (commas are missing too)

the array :Array ( [0] => 2.5 [1] => 120 [2] => 128 [3] => 2 [4] => 1000 ) must be substracted from the 3rd element of this array:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 Array

(

    [0] => 1

    [CODE] => 1

    [1] => Sony

    [BRAND] => Sony

    [2] => BZ11MN

    [MODEL] => BZ11MN

    [3] => 2.5

    [PROCESSOR (Ghz)] => 2.5

    [4] => 200

    [STORAGE (GB)] => 200

    [5] => 126

    [GRAPHIC CARD (MB)] => 126

    [6] => 2.5

    [BATTERY] => 2.5

    [7] => 500

    [PRICE] => 500

)

Try using mysql_fetch_assoc() instead of mysql_fetch_array(). It will make your life a little easier (PHP: mysql_fetch_assoc - Manual).

I'd probably approach it along these lines:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
$sum = array();

$keys = array('PROCESSOR (Ghz)', 'STORAGE (GB)', 'etc.');
 
while( $row = $DB->FetchArray($query) )

{

  foreach( $keys as $key )

  {

    $sum[$key][] = (int) $row[$key] - $input_arrays[$key];

  }

}
