[SOLVED] create number of times to display

[jnerotrix]

Ok I am making a code to get more youtube views

 

And i need it so in a form you set number of Videos to be displayed in number of seconds

 

So The Form Would Look Like This

 

<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>(Number)<input type="text" name="times" value="10"> of Times to Display Video in <input type="text" name="reloadtime" value="5">(Seconds)
</td>
</tr>
</table>

 

So if The Number is Set to 10 Which is default

Then it displays this code 10 times

 

echo '<object width="$setwidth" height="$setheight""><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1$autoplay" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="$allowfullscreen" width="$setwidth" height="$setheight"></embed></object>';

 

and if its set to 20 then it displays that code 20 times is this possible

Do you want it to display like that code 20 times every x seconds?

 

If so, javascript would be the way to set this up, not necessarily ajax but if you code in the JScript it should work.

 

Also the slee might work, but the page would not finish loading until all the items have been displayed and chances are the browser would time out.

no it displays the code 20 times in Specified place on page

 

and the x Seconds is just a meta refresh thats not the problem

 

its the displaying the code x amount of times so it generates the code again and again

[chronister]

Sounds like you need a simple loop to take the number entered in the input and then display the object tag X number of times.

 

Very simple task. Take a look at while loops in the php manual.

<?php
$numTimes = 10;

for ($i=0; $i < $numTimes; $i++) {
echo '<object width="$setwidth" height="$setheight""><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1$autoplay" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="$allowfullscreen" width="$setwidth" height="$setheight"></embed></object>';
}
?>

 

Will display it 10 times on the page.

So Would this work

 

<?php
$numTimes = $_POST['times'];

for ($i=0; $i < $numTimes; $i++) {
echo '<object width="$setwidth" height="$setheight""><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1$autoplay" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="$allowfullscreen" width="$setwidth" height="$setheight"></embed></object>';
}
?>

}
?>

 

Should, although I would do this

 

<?php
$numTimes = (isset($_POST['times']) && is_numeric($_POST['times']))?$_POST['times']:10;

for ($i=0; $i < $numTimes; $i++) {
echo '<object width="$setwidth" height="$setheight""><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/$url&hl=en&fs=1$autoplay" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="$allowfullscreen" width="$setwidth" height="$setheight"></embed></object>';
}
?>

 

That way if it isset and is numeric it is set to that value, else it is defaulted to 10.
