[SOLVED] Ordered list within an array

[ironman32]

Does anyone know how to put an ordered list inside an array. i've already attempted it but was not successful

 

$input2 = array(("<ol><li><a href =\"http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/barbell-bench-press.html\">Bench press</a></li>"
"<li><a href =\"http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/military-press-behind-neck.html\">Military Press behind the neck</a>"</li></ol>",
);

 

Does anyone know how to do this or if this is possible?

 

Thanks

outside the array...

 

<ul>

array <li></li>

<ul>

What do you want to do with this?

 

If you want to create an ordered list from the elements of the array, you can do something like this:

<?php
$ol = array('<a href ="http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/barbell-bench-press.html">Bench press</a>',
      '<a href ="http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/military-press-behind-neck.html">Military Press behind the neck</a>');
echo '<ol><li>' . implode("</li>\n<li>",$ol) . "</li></ol>\n";
?>

My main aim is to have an array with ordered lists as the elements. These will then be called at random.

So first I need to find a way of having ordered lists as elements.

Please explain better. Perhaps an example would help.

What I am aiming to do is to have a full list within an array e.g.

$input1 = array(<ol><li><a href =\"http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/barbell-bench-press.html\">Bench press</a></li>
<li><a href =\"http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/military-press-behind-neck.html\">Military Press behind the neck</a></li>
<li><a href=\"http://www.liverpoolfc.tv\">A</a>","<a href =\"http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/military-press-behind-neck.html\">C</a>"</li>
<li>"<a href =\"http://www.muscleandstrength.com/exercises/military-press-behind-neck.html\">B</a></li></ol>")

 

So it can produce an output like this

 

1.Bench press

2.Military press behind the neck

3.C

4.B

 

Is that more understandable?

echo '<ol><li>' . implode("</li>\n<li>",$ol) . "</li></ol>\n";
?>

 

Did you not try this out? It does exactly what you are asking. Except, instead of it being kept in an array as that form, it converts it at runtime so the data stays in it's raw form and is not manipulated till it needs to be displayed.

I've tried it out and you're right it does exactly what I needed.

 

Thanks everyone for all the help
