PHP - Foreach Loop - How To Not Loop Witha "," On Last Loop
Hey guys,
Got another question im hoping someone can help me with. I have a foreach loop (for use in a mysql query): foreach ($interests as $interest) { $query .= "($id, $interest), "; } problem is i do not want the comma(,) in the last loop. Is there some kinda of function i can use so it does not insert it on last loop? Or should i just use a for loop with a nested if loop? something like ; for($i=0; $i < count($interests); $i++){ $query .= "($id, '$interests[$i]')"; if($i + 1 < count($interests)) { $query .= ", "; } } Cheers guys Similar Tutorialshello how do i pass a foreach loop through "Passing by Reference" say i have a foreach loop in a function like this: Code: [Select] function findText(&$output){ $word = Text::find_all(); foreach ($word as $words){ $output = $words->text; } } then one the page i put Code: [Select] findText($output); echo $output; that will just give me the last word in the database. so how do i get it to echo out the array on the page ? thanks question of perfomance .. Code: [Select] //take the names from table1 apply($sql1); foreach($names as $name){ //grab other info about the current user from table2 apply($sql2); } is this fine ? Hi Guys Ever had the feeling your being a spoon and can't see the wood for the trees? Well, that's how I feel today. All I am trying to to is implement a variable in a "foreach" loop that increments by one through each iteration of the loop. I know how to do it in a "for" loop but can't for the life of me get it to work here. Here is the code: foreach ($cart as $prodcode => $qty) { $item = get_product_details($prodcode); echo '<input type="hidden" name="item_name_'.[b]$needavariablehere[/b].'" value="'.$item['description'].$_SESSION['finish'][$prodcode].$_SESSION['handles'][$prodcode].'" />' . "\n"; } Where I have highlighted $needavariablehere is where I want a number to appear i.e. if there is one item available and the foreach loop iterates once I want the number 1 here. If there are two items and the foreach loop iterates twice I want the output to have number 1 in the first line and number 2 the second time around and so on. How many times the foreach loop iterates is based on the $cart array which contains items in a shopping cart. Thanks for any help you can give guys. Below is my output on the browser: Student: Kevin Smith (u0867587) Course: INFO101 - Bsc Information Communication Technology Course Mark 70 Grade Year: 3 Module: CHI2550 - Modern Database Applications Module Mark: 41 Mark Percentage: 68 Grade: B Session: AAB Session Mark: 72 Session Weight Contribution 20% Session: AAE Session Mark: 67 Session Weight Contribution 40% Module: CHI2513 - Systems Strategy Module Mark: 31 Mark Percentage: 62 Grade: B Session: AAD Session Mark: 61 Session Weight Contribution 50% Now where it says course mark above it says 70. This is incorrect as it should be 65 (The average between the module marks percentage should be 65 in the example above) but for some stange reason I can get the answer 65. I have a variable called $courseMark and that does the calculation. Now if the $courseMark is echo outside the where loop, then it will equal 65 but if it is put in while loop where I want the variable to be displayed, then it adds up to 70. Why does it do this. Below is the code: Code: [Select] $sessionMark = 0; $sessionWeight = 0; $courseMark = 0; $output = ""; $studentId = false; $courseId = false; $moduleId = false; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $sessionMark += round($row['Mark'] / 100 * $row['SessionWeight']); $sessionWeight += ($row['SessionWeight']); $courseMark = ($sessionMark / $sessionWeight * 100); if($studentId != $row['StudentUsername']) { //Student has changed $studentId = $row['StudentUsername']; $output .= "<p><strong>Student:</strong> {$row['StudentForename']} {$row['StudentSurname']} ({$row['StudentUsername']})\n"; } if($courseId != $row['CourseId']) { //Course has changed $courseId = $row['CourseId']; $output .= "<br><strong>Course:</strong> {$row['CourseId']} - {$row['CourseName']} <strong>Course Mark</strong>" round($courseMark) "<strong>Grade</strong> <br><strong>Year:</strong> {$row['Year']}</p>\n"; } if($moduleId != $row['ModuleId']) { //Module has changed if(isset($sessionsAry)) //Don't run function for first record { //Get output for last module and sessions $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); } //Reset sessions data array and Set values for new module $sessionsAry = array(); $moduleId = $row['ModuleId']; $moduleName = $row['ModuleName']; } //Add session data to array for current module $sessionsAry[] = array('SessionId'=>$row['SessionId'], 'Mark'=>$row['Mark'], 'SessionWeight'=>$row['SessionWeight']); } //Get output for last module $output .= outputModule($moduleId, $moduleName, $sessionsAry); //Display the output echo $output; I think the problem is that it is outputting the answer of the calculation only for the first session mark. How in the while loop can I do it so it doesn't display it for the first mark only but for all the session marks so that it ends up showing the correct answer 65 and not 72? I've searched but can't seem to find anything I can apply to this situation. Most of the resources are dedicated to dropdown menu's from the same table. I have two tables 'regions' and 'cities' and I am looking to create a menu that lists all the cities within a region then moves on to do the same for the rest of the regions in that state: State1 Region1 City1 City2 City3 Region2 City1 City2 City3 Region3 Etc My tables: States table: stateID, state Regions table: regionID, region, stateID Cities table: cityID, city, regionID I currently have two pages- select region, then select city... I'd like to consolidate to one step after choosing a state. I know I need a nested loop, (while?), and to count the results somehow to retrigger loop; also not sure how to handle two mySQL querries in the nested loop. I'm having trouble wrapping my mind around it. Thank you. I am trying to make a loop simply write "static" code...if that is the correct explanation.... But it seems PHP wants to "process" such things as 'IF' and other Conditions which is defeating the purpose. The problem specifically is that I NEED for a dynamic write to happen based on a variable that will put the following lines that start with IF (! isset // Make sure the checkbox arrays exist if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_one'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_one'] = array(); if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_two'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_two'] = array(); if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_three'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_three'] = array(); // here in the lines below is one way I have tried to make the the LINES ABOVE get written Dynamically // THIS PART returns the values I need, the checkbox names ---- // // foreach($_POST as $meta_key => $meta_value) { // if(cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox')) { echo $meta_key; } // } // So that code WILL RETURN THE VALUES I NEED : // cp_checkbox_one, cp_checkbox_two, cp_checkbox_three // BASED ON THIS I WROTE THE FOLLOWING CODE-- BUT IT DOES NOT WORK AS A REPLACEMENT FOR A LINE // SUCH AS--- if (! isset($_POST['cp_checkbox_one'])) $_POST['cp_checkbox_one'] = array(); // function checkboxloop() { foreach($_POST as $meta_key => $meta_value) { if(cp_str_starts_with($meta_key, 'cp_checkbox')) { if (! isset($_POST[$meta_key])) $_POST[$meta_key] = array(); } } } // HERE I ASK FOR THE FUNCTION BUT WHILE I GET NO ERRORS I GET NO RESULTS // WHICH IS A PROPER SAVE OF UNCHECKED CHECKBOXES ON SUBMIT checkboxloop; I would very much appreciate knowing how to make the code keep looping whatever $meta_key names turn up on this page and then use those names to write the complete lines as STATIC PHP so that the IF conditions don't get "processed" while this function is called. In effect, I want to duplicate the effect of having the code lines WRITTEN, so that they perform exactly as if I had written them as PHP hard-code, as many lines as there will be $meta_keys, but not SEE the code--- just have it valid PHP. This function does NOT make the same thing happen internally. As soon as I replace the function with the HARD CODE PHP then it works...but, I have reached the stage where these lines of code have to happen dynamically. I am baffled how to get this to happen! If I use Echo then I get errors about the "IF". Thank you very much for your help! I'm getting an invalid argument error for my While loop. I can't figure out why. Code: [Select] $sql="SELECT * FROM schools ORDER BY class DESC,sectional ASC,team ASC"; $results = mysql_query($sql); while ($team = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) { echo $team['school'] . '<br>'; } Here is the error: Quote Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/******/public_html/hoosierhoopsmagazine.com/resources/sectional_assignments.php on line 7 I'm having a really bad brain fart and I cannot get the logic correct here lol. I need divs wrapped around every set of 5 images so if there is a total of 8 images then there would be 2 sets of divs (first with 5 images, second with 3 images) and if there was 12 images then there would be 3 sets of divs (first two with five images, last one with 2 images) etc etc What am I doing wrong and is there an easier way to do this? http://pastebin.com/QfsFxe4G Thanks! Code: [Select] <?php $hierachy = new hierachy; $iterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new recursiveArrayIterator($hierachy->getLocalSubNodes($name1))); try { foreach($iterator as $key=>$value) { echo $value = substr($value,0,-1).'<br />'; } } catch(Exception $e) { echo $e->getMessage(); }?> Hey.
So the issue I'm having is consecutive loops on semi-large arrays, over and over. Consider this array:
$firstArray = array( 'row1' => array( 'dates' => array( '2014-01-01' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-01-02' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-01-03' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-01-04' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-01-05' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-01-06' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-01-07' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), ) ), 'row2' => array( 'dates' => array( '2014-02-01' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-02' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-03' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-04' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-05' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-06' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-07' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-08' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), '2014-02-09' => array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2', 'key3' => 'value3', 'key4' => 'value4', 'key5' => 'value5', 'key6' => 'value6', 'key7' => 'value7', 'key8' => 'value8', 'key9' => 'value9', 'key10' => 'value10'), ) ) );Originally the data comes from ~2-3 database tables, of course. But to ilustrate the point, this is how the main array looks like. This array usually contains anywhere between 10-50 rows, each row containing at least 10 dates, with 10 key/values each. And after setting up all the data, it needs to be processed. Currently this is how a friend of mine did it.. $placeDataHere = array(); foreach($firstArray as $key => $dates) { foreach($dates as $date => $values) { foreach($values as $key => $value) { $placeDataHere['DV_' . $date]['SM_' . $key] = 'KS_' . $value; //Followed by another ~50-70 lines of processing the 3 loop's data.. ... ... .... .... .... .... .... .... } } }Obviously this isn't good practise, but we can't seem to figure out a better way of doing it, since both the data and the loops are horribly nested. This loop and setup of $firstArray is run anywhere between 10-20 times/request, due to amount of users we wish to process. So, the result is that this code can take up to over 2-3 minutes to complete, which isn't really optimal performance. In short my question is, are there any better methods of handling this with the data setup we currently have? how do I use this code and not add a "," after the last $i? Code: [Select] $x = 1; // set $x for ($i=1; $i<=100; $i += 9) { echo "'".$i."',";} you may change how you want.....I am pretty sure it needs a counter... but I don't know much about them Hey guys, need help on some addition. foreach($login as $line_num => $line) { $login = explode(" ", htmlspecialchars(str_replace(" "," ",$line))); if(stristr($login[1], "\n")) $login[1] = substr($login[1], 0, strlen($login[1])-2); $account_data[$line_num] = array($login[0], $login[1]); $UserID = $login[0]; $AuthKey = $login[1]; $MobLink = "http://mobsters-fb-apache-dynamic-lb.playdom.com/mob_fb/"; $RefreshStat = file_get_contents($MobLink."refresh_stat_manual?user_id=".$UserID."&auth_key=".$AuthKey); $Cash = explode ("<cash>", $RefreshStat); $Cash = explode ("<", $Cash[1]); $Cash = $Cash[0]; $CashForEcho = "$".number_format($Cash[0]); echo $CashForEcho."<br/>"; echo "<br/><br/>"; } The variable $Cash will be dynamic for each user I put in the $login_file, and I need to add all of those values up. So say I put in 3 users within the $login_file, and the $Cash for user 1 was $3,000, the $cash for user 2 was $6,000 and the $cash for user 3 was $1,000, I want to be able to automatically add them all up, so it would echo '$10,000' at the end. Hope I've explained it for you guys to understand easily enough, if not let me know. Thanks I am working on a photo gallery script in which I need to show 9 images at a time. Here is my script so far Code: [Select] <?php foreach($pictures->result() as $p): ?> <?php for($i = 1; $i <= 9; $i++) { ?> <div class="item"> <ul> <li><a href="images/gallery/<?=$p->category;?>/<?=$p->photo_name;?>" rel="example1" ><img src="images/gallery/<?=$p->category;?>/thumb_<?=$p->photo_name;?>" alt="#" /></a></li> </ul> </div><!-- end item --> <?php } ?> <?php endforeach; ?> At the moment the script is showing one image at a time 9 times and for every entry in my database. I have been battling this for a little while now.
