Welcome tron12,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-
  • Is this homework/assignment? There are specific forums for these.
  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get?
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What are your preferred tools? (C, shell, perl, awk, etc.)
  • What logical process have you considered? (to help steer us to follow what you are trying to achieve)
  • Do you need to handle a value being repeated later, or just adjacent lines?
Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

There are probably many ways to achieve most tasks, so giving us an idea of your style and thoughts will help us guide you to an answer most suitable to you so you can adjust it to suit your needs in future.


We're all here to learn and getting the relevant information will help us all.



Thanks, in advance,
Robin

IBASE_FETCH_ASSOC(3)							 1						      IBASE_FETCH_ASSOC(3)

ibase_fetch_assoc - Fetch a result row from a query as an associative array

SYNOPSIS
array ibase_fetch_assoc (resource $result, [int $fetch_flag]) DESCRIPTION
Fetch a result row from a query as an associative array. ibase_fetch_assoc(3) fetches one row of data from the $result. If two or more columns of the result have the same field names, the last column will take precedence. To access the other column(s) of the same name, you either need to access the result with numeric indices by using ibase_fetch_row(3) or use alias names in your query. PARAMETERS
o $result - The result handle. o $fetch_flag -$fetch_flag is a combination of the constants IBASE_TEXT and IBASE_UNIXTIME ORed together. Passing IBASE_TEXT will cause this function to return BLOB contents instead of BLOB ids. Passing IBASE_UNIXTIME will cause this function to return date/time values as Unix timestamps instead of as formatted strings. RETURN VALUES
Returns an associative array that corresponds to the fetched row. Subsequent calls will return the next row in the result set, or FALSE if there are no more rows. SEE ALSO
ibase_fetch_row(3), ibase_fetch_object(3). PHP Documentation Group IBASE_FETCH_ASSOC(3)
