Adding Order to Loop.

[dietkinnie]

Hi Guys, I would like to add an Order number/s to the parsed xml code below.

 

<game id="3664066" date="20090325" time="1700">
    <description>
      <category id="SOCMENEURESPSEGB1" order="7200">Spa. Segunda B1</category>Celta B - Valladolid B</description>
    <type id="0"/>
    <alternatives>
      <alternative odds="1.50" team="133702">1</alternative>
      <alternative odds="3.50" team="133702">X</alternative>
      <alternative odds="5.95" team="193111">2</alternative>
    </alternatives>
  </game>
  <game id="3664073" date="20090325" time="1700">
    <description>
      <category id="SOCMENEURESPSEGB1" order="7200">Spa. Segunda B1</category>Deportivo B - Athletic B</description>
    <type id="0"/>
    <alternatives>
      <alternative odds="2.70" team="133707">1</alternative>
      <alternative odds="2.85" team="133707">X</alternative>
      <alternative odds="2.50" team="193120">2</alternative>
    </alternatives>
  </game>

 

 

Here is my code:

 

$xml = new SimpleXMLElement($source,null,true);


foreach($xml->game as $game) {
  $game_id = $game['id'];
     foreach($game->type as $type){
      $type_id = $type['id'];
        foreach($game->alternatives->alternative as $alt_odd){
          $odds = $alt_odd['odds'];
          $team = $alt_odd['team'];

    echo "{$game_id} - {$odds} - {$team} - {$alt_odd} -  {$type_id}<br>";
        }

    }
}

?>

 

And here is the output:

 

3664066 - 1.50 - 133702 - 1 - 0
3664066 - 3.50 - 133702 - X - 0
3664066 - 5.95 - 193111 - 2 - 0
3664073 - 2.70 - 133707 - 1 - 0
3664073 - 2.85 - 133707 - X - 0
3664073 - 2.50 - 193120 - 2 - 0

 

As you can see there are two game_id's 3664066 and 3664073  respectively. These games however have 3 alternatives 1 or X or 2.

 

I would like to add an order to each game id so it should look something like this:

 

 

3664066 - 1.50 - 133702 - 1 - 0 - 1
3664066 - 3.50 - 133702 - X - 0 - 2
3664066 - 5.95 - 193111 - 2 - 0 - 3
3664073 - 2.70 - 133707 - 1 - 0 - 1
3664073 - 2.85 - 133707 - X - 0 - 2
3664073 - 2.50 - 193120 - 2 - 0 - 3 

 

Where the order starts over again for each new game id.

 

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

 

I am still stuck on this and was thinking.

 

This is a print_f  of $alt_odd

 

SimpleXMLElement Object           
(                                 
    [@attributes] => Array        
        (                         
            [odds] => 1.50        
            [team] => 133702      
        )                         

    [0] => 1
)           
SimpleXMLElement Object
(                      
    [@attributes] => Array
        (                 
            [odds] => 3.50
            [team] => 133702
        )                   

    [0] => X
)           
SimpleXMLElement Object
(                      
    [@attributes] => Array
        (
            [odds] => 5.95
            [team] => 193111
        )

    [0] => 2
)

 

 

Is there any way i can get and compare the next values of the array

 

something like this:

  if ($game_id == $game_id and $array_value != $array_next_value)
    {
    $i++;
    }

           

 

Thanks

array

 

Take a look at the array functions, notably next. That will, however, move the array pointer. So you may have to use previous after you assign the next values to set the array pointer to what you expect it to be.
