Hello

I am pulling data from a DB that represent products and product options.

<ProductName>
<Color>
<Size>
<Qty>

The same Product name will represent several rows of color/size
combinations with a qty amount.

What I would like to be able to do is walk thru the returned data set
returned and aggregate the qty from all the rows into a an array for
later processing.

what I tried was this:

$item = array();
foreach($products as $data) {
$item[$data['ProductName']]['TotalQty'] += $data['Qty'];
$item[$data['ProductName']]['data'] = $data;
}

Now this does work and gives me the exact data I need in the right schema.

The problem I am running into is I am getting a Notice about undefined
index since the first iteration of the += is looking for an array index
yet to be declared.

Now I figured a statement that works

$item[$data['ProductName']]['TotalQty'] =
isset($item[$data['ProductName']]['TotalQty']) ?
$item[$data['ProductName']]['TotalQty'] + $data['Qty'] : $data['Qty'];

Is there a statement that will give me something simpler then this or is
this just the way to do it.

Just curious.

Thanks
Scotty
