awkward output

[bftwofreak]

For some reason when this code is executed:

<?php

/* 1st Place */
$tag['1'] = 'threesixohfreak';
$view['1'] = '<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag['1'] . '</h2><p></p></div>';

?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber-print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

<div class="tabber">

<?php echo $view['1'] ?>

</div>

the output is <

 

Where did I go wrong?

code works fine for me.. try putting error_reporting(E_ALL); at the top of the script to see if there's something odd going on.

I sort of understand what's happening, but I don't know why. When I changed the

<?php echo $view['1'] ?>

to

<?php echo $tag['1'] ?>

it only had an output of the first letter. That's what's happening. I just don't know why. Any suggestions?

Instead of using $tag['1'] for your $tag array, use $tag[1]

[bftwofreak]

attempted, but no dice. If you want to see what it looks like currently, here's the test link:

http://updominon.com/modules.php?name=Halo_3_Stats&tag=threesixohfreak&i=rdetail&gameid=738832827

Ok found that the issue exists within the variable itself no matter where I move the html that is to be echoed, it still only shows the first letter.

[Garethp]

It worked fine on my server. Maybe one of these changes the variable?

 

 

<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.js"></script>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber-print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

 

[bftwofreak]

Well the only thing is that it has to exist somewhere in the variable since no matter what I change the variable to, it still only shows the first character.

[Garethp]

Try

 

/* 1st Place */

$tag['1'] = 'threesixohfreak';

$view['1'] = '<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag['1'] . '</h2><p></p></div>';

echo $view['1'];

 

instead

[bftwofreak]

I tried that and same results:

<?php

$gameid = $_GET['gameid'];
$rdetails = file_get_dom('http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=' . $gameid . '&player=' . $url_player);


/* 1st Place */
$tag[1] = 'threesixohfreak';
$view[1] = '<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag[1] . '</h2><p></p></div>';

echo $view[1];
?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber-print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

<div class="tabber">

</div>

 

[bftwofreak]

ok now I've found out that it has to do with the array...

<?php

$gameid = $_GET['gameid'];
$rdetails = file_get_dom('http://www.bungie.net/Stats/GameStatsHalo3.aspx?gameid=' . $gameid . '&player=' . $url_player);


/* 1st Place */
$tag = 'threesixohfreak';
$view = '<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag . '</h2><p></p></div>';

?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="modules/<?php echo $module_name ?>/d/tabber-print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

<div class="tabber">

<?php echo $view ?>

</div>

 

 

Any way that I can keep it in an array cause I need the array.

 

[Garethp]

/* 1st Place */

$tag1 = 'threesixohfreak';

$view1 = '<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag1 . '</h2><p></p></div>';

 

$tag['1'] = $tag1;

$view['1'] = $view1;

[bftwofreak]

still no good... only shows that first character...

[discomatt]

For some reason it seems your array isnt being defined. Try this

 

<?php

$tag = array();
$view = array();

$tag[1] = 'threesixohfreak';
$view[1] = '<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag1 . '</h2><p></p></div>';

echo htmlentities( $tag[1] )."<br />".htmlentities( $view[1] );

?>

 

and if that doesn't work, try this

 

<?php

$tag = array(NULL, 'threesixohfreak');
$view = array(NULL,'<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: ' . $tag1 . '</h2><p></p></div>');

echo htmlentities( $tag[1] )."<br />".htmlentities( $view[1] );

?>

 

Both output

threesixohfreak
<div class="tabbertab"><h2>1st: </h2><p></p></div>

[bftwofreak]

well I wasn't trying to get it to show the actualy html tags, but defining the array first worked. Thanks! Now do you know how to select a range of variables within an array. ie. $tag[1] through $tag[16].

[discomatt]

<?php

for( $i = 1; $i <= 16; $i++ ) {

if ( isset($tag[$i]) ) {
	echo "\$tag[$i] = {$tag[$i]}<br />";
}

}

?>
