Using arrays

13/09/2007, 10h42

I'm quite new to PHP so please spoone feed me here.

I'm trying to generate a list of URLs from a directory to feed into a
slideshow but I'm completely stumped as to how to do it. I've been
given the following code to generate a list of 15 URLs with the right
extension but what do I do with it now?

Code:

<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
$xml = '<image_folder></image_folder>';
if ($FORBIDDEN_SET != "") $FORBIDDEN_SET = "AND $FORBIDDEN_SET";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p
WHERE filename LIKE '%.jpg' $FORBIDDEN_SET ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 15");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$type = 'normal';
$xml .= "".get_pic_url($row, $type) ."";
}
echo $xml;



?>

That bit displays a nice list of URLs for me but I need to feed them
into this second script where $URL would be the one of the URLs
selected in order from the list generated from the first script.

Code:

<?php

//include slideshow.php in your script
include "slideshow.php";

//add 15 slides
for ( $i=0; $i<15; $i++ ){
$slideshow[ 'slide' ][ $i ] = array ( 'url' => $URL );
}

//send the slideshow data
Send_Slideshow_Data ( $slideshow );

?>

As I said, I'm very new to this so I m probably barking up totally the
wrong tree.

I'm also running out of hair trying to work out how to do this.

Use the explode() function to break up the list in a $xml into a na
array, and foreach() through it.

Alternatively,
recode the first fragement so that the list is not built up as a
string
(ie take out the .= ) and build up the array $slideshow instead.

Brilliant, I'm learning a lot this week.

I've used the explode() and this now generates the list.

Code:

<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
$xml = '<image_folder></image_folder>';
if ($FORBIDDEN_SET != "") $FORBIDDEN_SET = "AND $FORBIDDEN_SET";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p
WHERE filename LIKE '%.jpg' $FORBIDDEN_SET ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 15");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$type = 'normal';
$xml .= " ".get_pic_url($row, $type) ."";
}
$url = explode(" ", $xml);


?>

so now I come onto the second bit to create the $slideshow array.

Code:

<?php

//include slideshow.php to access the Send_Slideshow_Data function
include "slideshow.php";
include "flashthumb.php";

for ( $i=0; $i<15; $i++ ){
$slideshow[ 'slide' ][ $i ] = array ( 'url' => $url[7] );
}

Send_Slideshow_Data ( $slideshow );

?>

I'm struggling a little with the correct syntax here. The line with
$url[7] I would like to count with $i but I'm not sure how to put that
in.

$slideshow[ 'slide' ][ $i ] = array ( 'url' => $url[$i] );

Does not work. I'm sure it's simple and it's just a simple syntax
thing. I'll crack this php malarky one day.

Thanks for your

Thanks for all your it's now working. I needed $url[$i+1]
