How to concatenate my strings

//please correct my logic. I need to make those variables $topicid, $topic, $sentid & $sent as arrays which I need to use them outside those local loops.

<?php
require_once("includes/connection.php");
$topics = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM trendingtopics ORDER BY topicid") or die(mysql_error());
$num_rows_topics = mysql_num_rows($topics);

if ($num_rows_topics < 1) {
echo "No topics";
}
else {
while($row_topics = mysql_fetch_array($topics))
{
$topicid = $row_topics['topicid'];
$topic = $row_topics['topic'];

//echo $topicid.'<br \>';
//echo $topic.'<br \>';
}
}
$sentences = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sentences ORDER BY sentid") or die(mysql_error());
$num_rows_sentences = mysql_num_rows($sentences);

if ($num_rows_sentences < 1) {
echo "No sentences";
}
else {
while($row_sentences = mysql_fetch_array($sentences))
{
$sentid = $row_sentences['sentid'];
$sent = $row_sentences['sent'];

//echo $sentid.'<br \>';
//echo $sent.'<br \>';
}
}


Need to concatenate every $topic[] with every $sent[]. Please help me code better.

<?php
$dataArray = array();
require_once("includes/connection.php");
$topics = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM trendingtopics ORDER BY topicid") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($topics)!=0)
{
$x=0;
while($row_topics = mysql_fetch_array($topics))
{
$dataArray['topic_id'][$x] = $row_topics['topicid'];
$dataArray['topic'][$x] = $row_topics['topic'];
$x++;
}
}
else
{
echo "no topic";
}

$sentences = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sentences ORDER BY sentid") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($sentences)!=0)
{
$x=1;
while($row_sentences = mysql_fetch_array($sentences))
{
$dataArray['sent_id'][$x] = $row_sentences['sentid'];
$dataArray['sent'][$x] = $row_sentences['sent'];
$x++;
}
}
else
{
echo "No sentences";

}
?>

<?php
//Why do we have the counter $x=0 in first loop
$x=1 in second loop?

What is the use of it.

Also how do I use them outside those loops ...do some string function() on them?
?>

my bad, change it to 0. Does it work? didnt test it

No phil its not working, something wrong while I am trying to call it...

<?php
...
//I am facing problem in calling those two arrays outside their loops

foreach($dataArray=>topic as $eachTopic)
{

}
?>

*Please check my previous post for my code...

need some more correction, please help


<?php
require_once("includes/connection.php");

$dataArray1 = array();
$dataArray2 = array();
$resultArray = array();
$topics = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM trendingtopics ORDER BY topicid") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($topics)!=0)
{
$x=0;
while($row_topics = mysql_fetch_array($topics))
{
$dataArray1['topic_id'][$x] = $row_topics['topicid'];
$dataArray1['topic'][$x] = $row_topics['topic'];
$x++;
}
}
else
{
echo "no topic";
}



$sentences = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM sentences ORDER BY sentid") or die(mysql_error());
if(mysql_num_rows($sentences)!=0)
{
$x=1;
while($row_sentences = mysql_fetch_array($sentences))
{
$dataArray2['sent_id'][$x] = $row_sentences['sentid'];
$dataArray2['sent'][$x] = $row_sentences['sent'];
$x++;
}
}
else
{
echo "No sentences";

}


//I need to concatenate each topic with each sentence. My two foreach loops are not concatenating as expected... Need correction here

foreach($dataArray1['topic'] as $eachTopic)
{
foreach($dataArray2['sent'] as $eachSent)
{
$resultArray[] = $eachTopic." ".$eachSent;
print_r($resultArray);
echo "<br \>";
}

}


?>



My output is coming as


'Hi' ' ' 'Hello' //'topic1' 'space' 'sentence1'
'Hi' ' ' 'Hello' ' ' 'This' //'topic1' 'space' 'sentence1' 'space' 'sentence2'
'Hi' ' ' 'Hello' ' ' 'This' ' ' 'is' //'topic1' 'space' 'sentence1' 'space' 'sentence2' 'space' 'sentence3'
.......

//My expected result
'Hi' ' ' 'Hello' //'topic1' 'space' 'sentence1'
'Hi' ' ' 'This' //'topic1' 'space' 'sentence2'
'Hi' ' ' 'is' //'topic1' 'space' 'sentence3'

'Bye' ' ' 'Hello' //'topic2' 'space' 'sentence1'
'Bye' ' ' 'This' //'topic2' 'space' 'sentence2'
...

try


foreach($dataArray1['topic'] as $key=> $eachTopic)
{
echo $eachTopic." ".$dataArray1['sent'][$key]."<br />";

}

Done

<?php

for($y=0; $y <= $counter1; $y++)
{
for($z=0; $z <= $counter2; $z++)
{
$result = $dataArray1['topic'][$y]." ".$dataArray2['sent'][$z];
echo $result;

?>

**claps**
