Or, to avoid a stray '+' at the end,
$members = array(); while( $member = db_fetch_object($result) ){ $members[] = $member->uid; }
return implode('+', $members);

Neil,
If you use return inside the while loop like you do it, the loop will process the first return of the query (37), and return that value to the parent function. It basically will break the loop and won't go through it until the further entries are processed.
You need to concatenate the fetched values to a variable (for example), and return that variable once the loop is finished. while($member = db_fetch_object($result)){ $variable.= $member->uid . "+"; } return $variable;
If you want to retrieve the values from the database ordered, you need to add an "order by node.uid asc" to the SQL query.
Hope this helps, Ursula

this is where I'm up to
$result = db_query("SELECT node.nid, node.title, node.type, node.uid FROM node WHERE node.uid IN (SELECT node.uid FROM node WHERE nid IN (SELECT nid FROM content_type_profile WHERE field_city_value IN (SELECT field_city_value FROM content_type_profile JOIN node ON content_type_profile.nid = node.nid WHERE node.uid = 2 AND node.type = 'profile'))) AND node.uid != 2"); $member = db_fetch_object($result); while($member = db_fetch_object($result)){ return $member->uid . "+"; }
I expect it to come back "31+37+39+" but it's coming back only "37+" (if I test in on a page and use "print" instead of "return", I get exactly what I want)
that would be my woeful php obviously for which I apologise now.
I'm trying to adapt what Idan wrote but cannot get it to output multiple UIDs to insert as the user:uid argument.
I'm also getting Query Build Time in views of around 5050ms so I'm guessing my sql is massively inefficient too...I do need the join and the nested SELECTs though. I'm getting the UID of all the people who share the location taxonomy term on their profile with the logged in user, so it was never going to be easy!
by the way, in my query, I'm hardcoding the logged in user's UID (2) just for testing purposes.

You can see that I cycle through the id's and add them to $args[0] and return it. Similar to what you did, try changing the variable name to $args[0].
for($i=1; $i<count($terms); $i++) $args[0] = $args[0] ."+" .$terms[$i]; // replace the + with , if you want and "And" action instead of "or" }

hmm, can't see how that would apply in my case. Maybe it does, but can't see it.
bottom line: if an sql query returns 3 values, how do I get those 3 values into a Views argument via "provide default argument"?

Take a look at this code I used for something similar:
if (arg(0) == 'node'&& is_numeric(arg(1))) { $node=node_load(arg(1)); $term = taxonomy_node_get_terms_by_vocabulary($node, 4); // 4 being the vocabulary id $terms = array_keys($term); $args[0] = $terms[0]; for($i=1; $i<count($terms); $i++) $args[0] = $args[0] ."+" .$terms[$i]; // replace the + with , if you want and "And" action instead of "or" } return $args[0];
might help you out.

Idan, I only just realised myself there was an "accept multiple arguments" checkbox....without that, I never would get it working!
so...now with that checked, I still need to get the UID's passed in x,y,z or x+y+z format.

if you want to view to take them into account as using "AND" then return them like so: 12+32+34, if you want it to take them into account as or return them as so 12,32,34.
don't forget to check to box in the argument settings area to accept multiple arguments

I have a view where I have selected User:uid as an argument and I am using a sql query in the "Provide Default Argument" part. The problem is, usually, the sql query is passing muliple UIDs back. How would I pass all of them into the argument to be used by the view.
At the moment, the view is only taking the first one.
so, here is a simplified version of my php code:
global $user; $result = db_query("SELECT node.uid FROM {node} WHERE node.type = 'profile'"); $member = db_fetch_object($result); return "$member->uid";
on my current db, this returns 3 UIDs...the view only takes the first one.
Thanks
