PHP - How To Display Print_r Array In Seperate Columns

I've got a few hours in this, read the manual on return (and it appears my print_r should be working!).. And I am unable to get print_r() to output the contents of my function array.

What am I doing wrong?

function getStateName()
{
$stateName = array("Alabama","Florida","Nevada");
return $stateName;
}

echo "<pre>";
echo print_r($stateName);
echo "</pre>";

Now I am stumped this is far any help would be awesome

This is what I have gotten so far, this is what it does right now is display each Header above each bit of data and spans across 5 columns for each foreach loop but what i am trying to understand here is i am trying to get the header then the data then another header and data and so on but only about 4 or number of my choosing grouped header/data but select how many are in each column up to 5 columns. Heres an example of what i am trying to do.

Hey


Is there a way to trim the print_r($array); so its completed and void of white space?


It prints like this:



Code: [Select]

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [id] => 10
            [f] => data/tiles/image.png
        )
)

But I want it to be compressed like this:


Code: [Select]
Array([0]=>Array([id]=>10[f]=>data/tiles/image.png))
This is then to be stored in the database, so any compressed possible is a plus in this situation.


Any ideas?

I figure I'd use array_chunk to divide my array by 5's, but how can I get each set of five to be enclosed in div tags. My array is a list of images in a directory which I need inserted into a format like the example code on this page. http://flowplayer.org/tools/demos/scrollable/index.html. Thanks for any help.

Hi again all,

Why does the foreach loop im doing, put the array values from collection, into seperate table rows rather than 1 row per whole array?



    <?php
        class registration{                    
            public $fields = array("username", "email", "password");
            public $data = array();
            public $table = "users";
            public $dateTime = "";
            public $datePos = 0;
            public $dateEntryName = "date";
            public $connection;
            
            function timeStamp(){
                return($this->dateTime = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"));
            }
            
            function insertRow($collection){      
                    //HERE
                    foreach($this->fields as $row => $value){
                        mysql_query("INSERT INTO $this->table ($value)
                        VALUES ('$collection[$row]')");
                    }
                    
                    mysql_close($this->connection->connectData);
            }
            
            function validateFields(){            

                $this->connection = new connection();
                $this->connection->connect(); 
                        
                foreach($this->fields as $key => $value){
                    array_push($this->data, $_POST[$this->fields[$key]]);
                }
                $this->dateTime = $this->timeStamp();
                array_unshift($this->data, $this->dateTime);                
                array_unshift($this->fields, $this->dateEntryName);   
                
                foreach($this->data as $value){
                    echo "$value";
                }
                
                $this->insertRow($this->data);
            }
        }
        
        $registration = new registration();
        $registration->validateFields();
    ?>




I end up with 3 rows

row 1: username
row 2: email
row 3 : password

rather than row 1:username email password.
