Changing array values problem, pls help newbie

[mullerrwd]

Hi there,

first, I recently began programming php. I am currently busy with a member script (for learning).

But I ran into a problem. In  themes/default/memberlist.php

A list is obtained of all members registered. This wasn't really dificult to do. But here's the catch. I want to display a members country falg infront of the username like so:

 

[flagimage] | [username] | [lastaction]

 

I got this so far:

<?php
///mysql query is done no need to post that
$contents.= "<tr>
<td><p><img src=\"themes/default/images/gif/{$rr['country']}\" /></p></td>
<td><p>{$rr['username']}</p></td>
<td><p>".date("d/m/Y",$rr['lastaction'])."</p></td>
</tr>";
?>

 

Now the variable $rr['country'] obviously contains the countries (in full, ex Switzerland),but how do I change the array from Switzerland to ch.gif. I tried to do it like this.

In /lib/configuration.php I added this (/lib/configuration.php is included in header)

<?php
$rr['country'] = array(
                            'Switzerland' => ch.gif,  //just one example i add all countries later
                            );

 

But this doesnt make the change 'Switzerland' => ch.gif

when i test it with a virtual memeber who lives in Switzerland I get a no-image displayed with this url: www.website.com/themes/default/images/gif/Switzerland and not www.website.com/themes/default/images/gif/ch.gif

 

I know that you are all thinking 'why not renaming all images'. Well i want to learn how to program well in php.

Thanks in advance,

Robert

<td><p><img src=\"themes/default/images/gif/{$rr['country']['Switzerland']}\" /></p></td>

But then i will have to be doing this for evryone.

say if there were 1000 members, how should i do that. $rr['country'] wil then contain 1000 countries ordered depending on how I extract them from the db and list them. But how to change all values in the array to the iso.gif

You use a table of countries in your database, and when do a select on your user you do a db join to the countries table
