Multidimensional array from query into string gives Array to string conversion notice

Question

I'm using CURL to pass an xml string created from the results of a query.

The string is created as follows:

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($data_to_insert)) {$data[ ] = $row;}

foreach($data as $datapiece)
{
 $data = data.'
 <field>
 <id>'.$datapiece["id"].'</id>
 <value>'.$datapiece["value"].'</value>

Why am I getting Array to string conversion notice?

Show all of your code related to this and which line the error comes up on. — Darren

I'm talking about in the while loop and after. You need to say which line is giving the error. — Darren

Before the while loop there are only DB credentials, the error is on the line inside the foreach loop on <id>'.$datapiece["id"].'</id>, after the while loop I have a $header variable that I insert into the xml to be sent as follows: $xml = $header.$string A var dump for $array shows the following: string(85) "Array 1 2 " — helloworld

What is $string ? And could print_r($datapiece); please. — Darren

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($data_to_insert)) {$data[ ] = $row;} --->    $data is array in here

foreach($data as $datapiece)
{
$data = data.' ----> data is a string in here IT SHOULDN'T BE OVERWRITING PREVIOUS VARIABLE, VARIABLE NEEDS TO BE GIVEN A DIFFERNT NAME
<field>
<id>'.$datapiece["id"].'</id>
<value>'.$datapiece["value"].'</value>

Why did you post this as an answer?.. And why are you overwriting the $data variable?

That was the mistake. I shouldn't have been overwriting $data. The $data = $data. '.... should have a different name. And that solves the problem. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me. It is the same situation as stackoverflow.com/questions/12959196/…
