creating dynamic columns and rows with data

[assgar]

Hi

 

The goal is to allow the user the ability to compare daily schedules of

between 1 to 7 users.

 

The number of columns/user schedule and column headers

are dynamically created base on user selection.

 

Each user schedule is set up in columns with the user name

at the top of the column and appointments in the columns.

 

For a static number of columns in a loop I would use the approach

below to display client names for columns. 

 

I am having problems creating dynmic unique column array names for

client_name.

 

 

[code]
//static columns

for()
  {
     echo"<tr>
     <td>$client_name1</td>
     	     <td>$client_name2</td>
             <td>$client_name3</td>
             <td>$client_name4</td>
             <td>$client_name5</td>
             <td>$client_name6</td>
         </tr>";
  }             
             

[/code]

 

 

 

[code]
<?

function calendar_event_list_play($users, $date, $db_host, $db_user, $db_password)
  {
  	//database connnection goes here

     	/**-------------selected database contents stored in arrays---------**/
    	$group_seg[] = $row;//get user availability 
    	$events[] = $row;//appointments for users
    	$provider[] = $row;//users names for column header

    	$width = 23;//dymanic column width calculation base on number of user schedules selected 

         /**--------------header with user names--------------**/
echo"<table>
     <tr>";

//appointmant time header
echo"<td width='$time_slot%'>Time</td>";

//user name column header
for($num = 0; $num < count($provider); $num++)
   {
      $last_name = $provider[$num][last_name];//get provider last name for title

              echo"<td width='$width%'><a href ='../calendar_form.php>$provider_name</a></td>";
   }
 echo "</tr>
               </table>";

     	
    	echo "<table width='100%'>\n";
  
    //Loop over to display appointment time 15 min time slots
    for($time = $start_time; $time <= $end_time; $time += $add_time)
   	{
   //format 24 hour time interval for passing via url
   $interval_24hr =  date("H:i:s", $time);

   /**-----------------------event time listing ------------------------**/
	   echo "<tr>";
   	   
   	   //Output the time interval label
   echo"<td width='8%' height='15'>
        <div id='cal-number' style =''>
        	 <ul>
         	    <li>".date("h:i A", $time)."</li>
        	 </ul>
       		</div>
	</td>";

   //number of columns 
   for($i = 0; $i < count($provider); $i++)
     {
       //loop to display appointments for column
   	       foreach ($events as $event)
   	        {
       		    //Event falls into this hour
  		    if($interval_24hr == $event['event_time'])
   	               {
   			  $client_name = substr($event['last_name'],0,14);
	       }
	       else
	        {
		    $client_name = "";
	        }
	}//end foreach

        //number of user columns dynamic with appointments displayed
        echo"<td $width%'><a href ='../calendar_event_manage_form.php>$client_name</a></td>";
                
      }
      echo "</tr>";
   	    }

    echo "</table>";

can you var_export() your variables $group_seg, $events and $provider and post it
