Local vs Global scope for Array variable


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi everybody,

In the following code, declaring $arKeyWords_V[1][2] as Local works fine, while declaring it as Global gives an error : Subscript used with non-Array variable.

-1 Could someone be so kind to explain me why.

-2 By the way, I need $arKeyWords_V[1][2] in other parts (and files) of the programm.

;Global $arKeyWords_V[1][2]

Func _populate_vesale()

Local $sData_V, $arKeyWords_V, $hQuery, $aRow_V, $j = 0

Local $arKeyWords_V[1][2]

_SQLite_Query($hVesaleDb, "SELECT medecin_vesale_id , medecin_vesale_nom || ' ' || medecin_vesale_prenom FROM medecins_vesale ORDER BY medecin_vesale_nom;", $hQuery)

While _SQLite_FetchData($hQuery, $aRow_V) = $SQLITE_OK

$arKeyWords_V[$j][0] = $aRow_V[0] ; medecin_id

$arKeyWords_V[$j][1] = $aRow_V[1] ; Nom-Prénom-ville

ReDim $arKeyWords_V[uBound($arKeyWords_V,1)+1][2]

$j += 1

WEnd

; ../...

EndFunc

which1,

Can you copy the exact error and post it? Post all of the console output so we can see what line it is pointing at.

kylomas

edit: also, are you sure that you are getting data from the fetchdata? I believe that $a_Row_V will only become an array if there is data returned. If I remember correctly, $SQLITE_OK just means that the function ran without error, whether or not data was returned.

When you declare it Global and not local, your first line in the function redeclares the variable name as a simple variable instead of an array.

Local $sData_V, $arKeyWords_V, $hQuery, $aRow_V, $j = 0

You then redeclare the variable as an array in the next line so it works ok.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

@BremanNH - yes, I was looking at that. He then declares the same variable as an array within the func. Not the best practice but does'nt seem like it should be causing the error he is reporting.

I tested that with this

;
;
;
#include <array.au3>
local $a
local $a[1]
$a[0] = 'array element'
_arraydisplay($a)
and it worked.

kylomas

edit: additional info

This pretty much mimics what the OP is doing with the variable in question

#include <array.au3>

global $a[1]

_1()

func _1()

    local $a
    local $a[1]

    $a[0] = 'array element'

    _arraydisplay($a)

endfunc

and it runs OK

Thanks to both of you !

The error indeed was due to $arKeyWords_V . Solved now :

Global $arKeyWords_V[1][2]

Func _populate_vesale()

Local $sData_V, $hQuery, $aRow_V, $j = 0 ; ---> $arKeyWords_V

_SQLite_Query($hVesaleDb, "SELECT medecin_vesale_id , medecin_vesale_nom || ' ' || medecin_vesale_prenom FROM medecins_vesale ORDER BY medecin_vesale_nom;", $hQuery)

While _SQLite_FetchData($hQuery, $aRow_V) = $SQLITE_OK

$arKeyWords_V[$j][0] = $aRow_V[0] ; medecin_id

$arKeyWords_V[$j][1] = $aRow_V[1] ; Nom-Prénom-ville

ReDim $arKeyWords_V[uBound($arKeyWords_V,1)+1][2]

$j += 1

WEnd

; ../...

EndFunc

@kylomas : You'r right ! Next time i'll try not to forget the console output.

Edit :

The problem is now : why does the code work proposed by kylomas actually work ?

#include <array.au3>

global $a[1]

_1()

func _1()

; local $a

local $a[1]

local $a

$a[0] = 'array element'

_arraydisplay($a)

endfunc

@BremanNH - yes, I was looking at that. He then declares the same variable as an array within the func. Not the best practice but does'nt seem like it should be causing the error he is reporting.

I was assuming that when he declared it Global and it failed that he wasn't using the Local declaration of the array at that time.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

You would have better time (and not only simpler but also more robust code) using _SQLiteGetTable2d instead of *_Query and loop on *_FetchData.
