PHP - How To Apply A Condition To The Display Of An Array

Hello all,

I need to make a rotating banner system for a client. They want about 5 banners to rotate with Javascript. However they want the visitor to sort of step through each one on each refresh.

So if I have 5 banners and I go to the site, I see banner 1 and then the javascript rotates through each one.

When I go back to the site, they want it to start with banner 2 and then the javascript will rotate through each one. Then on and on. Go back and see banner 3, then step through again.

I have a nice Javascript image slider I'd like to use. It basically just requires the images in order. Like:

<img src="1.jpg"/>
<img src="2.jpg"/>
<img src="3.jpg"/>
<img src="4.jpg"/>
<img src="5.jpg"/>

I've thought about it and I think the best way to do this would just be using PHP and a cookie. So when the viewer first goes to the site, PHP checks for the cookie. If it exists, it pulls the starting image #. If it doesn't, it starts at 0 and sets the cookie.

As for the images part, I figured an associate array would work well. The key would be what the cookie logic is based on, and then the image HTML would be in the array.

So you visit the site without a cookie it would be...

0 => <img src="1.jpg"/>
1 => <img src="2.jpg"/>
2 => <img src="3.jpg"/>
3 => <img src="4.jpg"/>
4 => <img src="5.jpg"/>

Then when you go back to the site, I need the array to be re-ordered like this:

0 => <img src="2.jpg"/>
1 => <img src="3.jpg"/>
2 => <img src="4.jpg"/>
3 => <img src="5.jpg"/>
4 => <img src="1.jpg"/>

What's the best way to go about this array logic? My experience with manipulating data inside arrays is rather limited. Basically I need it to say "Start with key # and then reorder array based on that"

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me with a simply array problem.

I have a table with two columns: "ID" and "Name" and 100 Names.

I also have an array called $myIDList containing 10 IDs. I want to display 10 Names from the table that correspond with the IDs from my array.

Originally, I tried to implode the array, adding commas and inserted into my MySQL query using:

$myQuery = "SELECT ID, Name FROM namesTable WHERE ID IN ($myImplodedIDList)";

The problem was that duplicated names (i.e. the same Name, but assiged to different IDs) would only be displayed once.

So now I'm trying to use the original array to loop through a second array and display Names where the ID matches an ID from my first array. I have succesffuly listed the table like this:

$myQuery = "SELECT ID, Name FROM myTable ORDER BY ID";

$myResult = mysql_query($myQuery) or die(mysql_error());

    while($row=mysql_fetch_array($myResult)) {
         echo $row['ID'];
         echo $row['Name'];
    }

But I want to do something like:

    while($row=mysql_fetch_array($myResult)) {
      while $row['ID'] = $myIDList {
      echo $row['Name']
      }
    }

Can someone shed some light onto this for me please?

Thank you!

Hi,

Is it possible to display the whole array of voteID in this url?

https://falling-skies-tv.loopiasecure.com/vote_result.php?voteID=292&comp=falling-skies-danmark

Is there a script/website/code I can use?

Thank you!

my user pm table has a touserarray field which is a serialized array that looks like this:
a:1:{s:2:"cc";a:1:{i:15773;s:14:"testusername";}}
i know I can unserialize it with the unserialize() function.
But I need to extract the value corresponding to 'i' field and the 's' field that has the username.

So  from the above array, i need to retrieve the value '15773' and 'testusername'.
Can someone tell me how?
 

$color=array("01 orange","02 blue","03 red");

If my array was structured this way where the first two characters represented a code, how would I be able to display the code and color distinctly?

Hi, i'm getting an error when I load my php code in a browser. Here's my code snippet:

  $result=mysql_query("SELECT Name, Manufacturer FROM bellProducts WHERE ID=1");
  $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
  print "Name: {$row['Name']} Manufacturer: {$row['Manufacturer'] }";
 
?>

<img src=<?php array_values($bellProductsArray); ?>  alt="Apple iPhone 3GS" title="Apple iPhone 3GS" />

**I can't get it to display the first image (eg: Apple_iPhone3GS.jpg), I made sure that I have the image in same directory. please help!1!

Hi,  

I've been trying to get this to work for a few days now and can't seem to get anywhere with it! Any help is very much appreciated.

I am creating a number generator where the user is required to insert the maximum number and generate rate. Maximum number is the highest number that the script will go to, and generate rate is how many numbers should be created.

When the script runs, the numbers are stored into a MySQL database. The MySQL database creates a unique ID number so it can be recalled at a later date.

The user then needs to go to Sorting.php and selects the record they wish to use. The numbers from this record are then counted and then stored into an array.

If the numbers 2,5,5,0,2,2,1,3,5,1 where generated, the output of this new array will be: [5] => 3 [3] => 1 [2] => 3 [1] => 2 => 1  (These arrays can be of any length)

I now need to extract this data and show it on screen. I don't know how to approach it.

Format example:

Number 5 appears 3 times
Number 3 appears 1 times
Number 2 appears 3 times
Number 0 appears 1 times

Sorting.php
<?php
        $db1 = new Number_Information();
        $db1->openDB();

        $sql = "select * from GeneratedNumber";
        $result = $db1->getResult($sql);

        if (!$_POST) { //page loads for the first time
            ?>

            <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="post">

                Select the ID (If you have just generated a number, it will be the last one):

                <!--This is the drop down menu-->
                <select name="ID"> 
                    <?php
                    while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
                        echo "<option value='{$row['ID']}'> {$row['ID']} </option>";
                    }
                    ?>
                </select> <br />

                <input type="submit" value="Continue" />
            </form>

            <?php
        } else {
            $ID = $_POST['ID']; //This will contain the value that was selected in the drop down menu above.

            $result = mysql_query("SELECT NUMBERS2 FROM GeneratedNumber WHERE ID='{$ID}'"); //This tells the script to select NUMBERS2 contents which is assosiated with the ID.

            while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
                $NUMBERS2 = $row['NUMBERS2'];

            echo "$NUMBERS2"; //Testing reasons - remove it later.
            echo "<br />"; //same as above
            echo "$ID"; // as above.
            echo "<br />"; //as above
            //Convert NUMBERS2 back into an array when inserted into table from Generator.php
            $NUMBERS = explode(",", $NUMBERS2);


            // Counts how many times a number appears
            //*******************************************************************************************************************
            //IF ALL ELSE FAILS, REVERT BACK TO THIS.
            //print_r(array_count_values($NUMBERS));
            //It will only print the statement, but gives you a good building block when things WILL go wrong.
            //*******************************************************************************************************************

            rsort($NUMBERS);
            print_r(array_count_values($NUMBERS));

Here is my current code to display files from the end to beginning : Code: [Select]
<?php
function func() {
$date = date("Y-m-d");
$picarray = array();
$userarray = array();
        $handle = opendir ('pqimages/'.$date.'/');
        while (false !==($file = readdir($handle))) {
            if($file != "." && $file != "..") {
                $picarray[] = "http://blah.com/pqimages/".$date."/".$file."";
                $userarray[]= "pqimages/".$date."/".$file."";
            }
        }
        sort($picarray);
        sort($userarray);
        closedir($handle);
$json_array = json_encode($picarray); 
echo $json_array;  
}
func();
?>

How could I change this from end to beginning  for ($picarray)?

Hi, 

It's my first time here. I'm not a coder but I sometimes need to find solutions by myself so here I am...

I think this one will be easy for all of you.

I generate a PDF displaying data from fields on a DB

They all display very well except the multiple choices.

Here is an exerpt of my code; I tried the implode code to display my values separated by commas but in the document it stil displays "Array" (screenshot enclosed) instead of something like: "Sante mentale, Reussite scolaire, Environnement sain "

And I obviously don't know what's wrong...

<tr><td><?php echo $fields['prenomact']['value']; ?> <?php echo $fields['nomact']['value']; ?></td><td><?php echo $fields['titreact']['value']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td><?php echo $fields['courrielact']['value']; ?></td><td><?php echo $fields['telact']['value']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td>Enjeux visés: <?php $fields['enjeux']=implode(",", $array); echo $fields['enjeux']['value'];?></td><td>territoi <?php echo $fields['territoire']['value']; ?></td></tr>
<tr><td>Participation des enfants: <?php echo $fields['niveauparticipation']['value']; ?></td><td>Nombre d'enfants participants : <?php echo $fields['nbenfants']['value']; ?></td></tr>

Thanks in advance for your help,

Valérie

 

Example: i have an array of names
array{
=> john [1] = ted
[2] = jeff
}

and i display them like this:

john, ted, jeff

but jeff is currently logged in so i want his name to display first(i have my reasons lol)

how would i go about this?
i got as far as:


if(in_array($user->user_name, $likes))
            {
                $user_key = array_search($user->user_name, $likes);
            }


then hit a brain freeze.

Thanks
