Fuction in a loop generated from an array

lavochkin · #1 (**permalink**) 02-12-10, 08:28 AM

Ok,here is my array:

PHP Code:


			
$tableColumns = 'Flight Nr,Date,Company,From,To,PAX,Aircraft,Landing<br> Speed,Landing<br> Pitch,Landing<br>Vert Speed,Flight<br>Time,Dist.<br>Nm,Cargo<br>Lbs,Result, ';



$dataFields =     'ranklabel($TFT),FlightId,FlightDate,CompanyName,DepartureIcaoName,ArrivalIcaoName,NbrPassengers,AircraftName,LandingSpeed,LandingPitch,TouchDownVertSpeedFt,TotalBlockTime,TotalDistance,CargoWeight,FlightResult,';



$pilotFields =     'Rank,PilotName,TnF,TNbrPassengers,AFuel,ATotalDistance,TCargoWeight,TotalPoint';

//$pilotFields =     'PilotName,TTotalBlockTime,TNbrPassengers,TBonusPoints,TPenalityPoints';

$VAColumns = 'Rank,Pilot,Flights,PAX,Fuel<br>LBS,Dist.<br>Nm,Cargo<br>Lbs,Total Bonus Points';

Here is the the table:

PHP Code:


			
ListStart    ='<table width="'.$tableWidth.'" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" align="center" style="font: normal 11px/14px Arial,sans-serif;padding:2px 7px 2px 7px">';

$TDTitStyle ='<td nowrap style="background-color:#0080FF;color:white;padding:2px 5px 2px 5px">';

$TableVA ='<tr>';

    // loop to create the column headers

    for ($i=0;$i<count($PilotFieldNames);$i++)

    {

        $TableVA .= $TDTitStyle.

        ' <a href="?action=va&s='.$PilotFieldNames[$i].'&d='.$sortOptions[$PilotFieldNames[$i]].'&p='.$p.'"

        style="text-decoration:none;color:white">'.$VAcolumnNames[$i].'</a></td>'.chr(13);

    }

$TableTitle ='<tr>';

    // loop to create the column headers

    for ($i=0;$i<count($dbFieldNames);$i++)

    {

        $TableTitle .= $TDTitStyle.

        ' <a href="?pilotflight='.$pilotflight.' &s='.$dbFieldNames[$i].'&d='.$sortOptions[$dbFieldNames[$i]].'&p='.$p.'"

        style="text-decoration:none;color:white">'.$columnNames[$i].'</a></td>'.chr(13);

    }

$TDListOdd    ='<td nowrap style="background-color:#D5E4FD;color:black;padding-left:5px">';    // define here background and font colors of

$TDListEven    ='<td nowrap style="background-color:#7CADDE;color:black;padding-left:5px">';    // the alternating rows

$TRList        ='<tr>';

$ListStop    ='</table>';

Now How do get the results of a fuction to be displayed in this table uesing the array?

Does this make sense?

Thanks
Rick

First set up some 'style'

Instead of this:

HTML Code:

<td nowrap style="background-color:#D5E4FD;color:black;padding-left:5px">

Use this:

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">
td
{
color:black;
padding-left:5px;
wrap:none;  /* Look this up at [url=http://w3schools.com]W3Schools Online Web Tutorials[/url] - I'm not sure if wrap is valid*/
}
tr.odd
{
background-color:#D5E4FD;
}
tr.even
{
background-color:#fff;  /* Different value */
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr class="odd">
<td>Stuff</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even">
<td>Suff2</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

This makes it easier to code and easier to maintain.

Well wirehopper,

I may be trying to do something that is way over my understanding of PHP. First , I do not have a clue what most of this script means or does. The link you gave me is great, but I do not know where to start. This is not my code. I need some formal training on PHP code.

Any way, I think on this issue I need to go and request a script forum and just have someone do this for me.

Thanks again for your reply.

This thread is done.

Best Regards,
Rick Parkin

PHP Code:


			
echo '<td>'.function($parameter).'</td>';

In the example above, function is the name of the function (you can't name functions function, it's a reserved word), and $parameter would be a value passed into the function. You can use the echo command to display the results, and the tds will put it in the table.

The reason I mentioned style is that it can be difficult to maintain code with a lot of inline style.
