error on form submit

Hi everyone,

Before beginning I just wanted to say I've posted the full page code, as well as the custom class code at the end of this post.

I've been trying to solve a problem with a php form that has an error on submit. The error I've been getting is as follows:

Fatal error: Cannot use object of type MyResult as array in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/newsite/admin/insertNewGarment.php on line 110

Line 110 refers to this line:

$values[$garment_id]['size'] = $sizes[$i];

Even though I'm getting this error, the form seems to function partially in that it inserts the information into my database table.

The part that doesn't work and which I assume is related to the error is the following code:

Code:
// build array of garment_id/category_id pairs, garment_id/colour_id pairs, and garment_id/size_id pairs one for each category, colour and size

$values = array();
$i = 0;

foreach ($_POST['category'] as $categories) {
	$values[$garment_id]['category'] = $categories;
	$values[$garment_id]['colour'] =  $colours[$i];
	$values[$garment_id]['size'] = $sizes[$i];
	$i++;
	}

// insert garment_id/category_id, garment_id/color_id, and garment_id/size_id pairs into garment to category, garment to color, and garment to size lookup tables

	 	
$k = array_keys($values);
foreach( $k as $key ) {
	$cat_sql = "INSERT INTO garment_to_category (garment_id, category_id) VALUES ($key, {$values[$key][category]})";
	$colour_sql = "INSERT INTO garment_to_colour (garment_id, colour_id) VALUES ($key, {$values[$key][colour]})";
	$size_sql = "INSERT INTO garment_to_size (garment_id, size_id) VALUES ($key, {$values[$key][size]})";


	$result = $db->query($cat_sql);
	$result = $db->query($colour_sql);
	$result = $db->query($size_sql);
}


I've been told by someone that the mistake is in the misuse of the $sizes variable – it's defined as an object that represents a query resource, but doesn't contain the actual data from that resource. Apparently I have to call the fetch_assoc() function of that class to actually pull the data out of the query.

I was told to modify the code around line 110 to properly pull the data out of the query and then assign it to $values[$garment_id]['size'].

Apparently line 285 as follows:

while ($row = $colours->fetch_assoc()) {

...is the type of code I'm supposed to use. Right now I'm using $sizes as if it were the array built from the fetch_assoc() function in the MyResult class, but it's not the case... apparently I simply need to call that function to get the data.

I'm just still a bit confused as to how I need to revise line 110 etc by calling the function. Can someone tell me how I'd do this?
