What are you stuck with? It's a function to flatten a multidimensional array into a single dimension array, except it uses global variables when it doesn't really need to.

Ok thnx. But w@s the relevance of the foreach loop function ?

[birbal]

foreach is to loop through the array element. it is getting each element on each iteration

I see U R saying that mysql is not safe can you please tell me how to install mysqli and is it still the same as mysql ?

[justsomeguy]

You enable the mysqli extension the same way you enable any other extension. If this is a server that you're not the administrator of then it's probably already enabled. It's not the same thing as mysql, or else there would be no reason to need a new one.

you should have the mysqli already installed. you can run <?php phpinfo();?> in a page. it will show you all installed and activated library. you can see it if it is there. mysql api for prior to mysql 5.1 engine and mysqli for later ones. they are not same but you will find similarity in API of mysql and mysqli procedural style.
