Mixing Dynamic w/ static variables

[ibanez270dx]

Hi,
I think I can work my way around a perticular problem, but I don't know how it would translate to code... This is what I want to do:

- First I want to extract some information from the database (pretty easy)
[code=php:0]

$sql = "SELECT * FROM downtime WHERE aircraft_id='$view_id' AND dwntime_year='$year' AND dwntime_month='$month' ORDER BY '$listorder'";
[/code]

- Next I want to create an array for every selected row
[code=php:0]

$therows .= array(
<center>$dwntime_type</center>,
<center>$dwntime_date</center>,
<center>$dwntime_times</center>,
<center>$dwntime_hrs</center>,
<center>$dwntime_ata</center>,
<center>$dwntime_reason</center>,
<center>$dwntime_solution</center>,
<center>$dwntime_log</center>,
<center>$dwntime_log_by</center>);
[/code]

- Then I want to take each array and put some static code next to it (I know this is wrong, but you kinda get an idea)
[code=php:0]

$display = "$therows(but only 1 row at a time) $excel->writeLine($therows)";
[/code]

- That should be it. I am going to take that $display value and process it a little later in the script to make an Excel file.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

1st
[code]
$therows[]=array(
"<center>$dwntime_type</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_date</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_times</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_hrs</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_ata</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_reason</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_solution</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_log</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_log_by</center>");
[/code]
2nd
[code]
$x='';
foreach ($therows as $therow){
$x .= "<p>".implode('<br />',$therow)."</p>";
$y .= $excel->writeLine($therows)"; // i don't know what object do
}
echo $x;
[/code]

Thanks for your help! However, my script still doesn't work. Here it is in it's entirety - including the new stuff:

[code=php:0]
<?php

include("excelwriter.inc.php");

$view_id = "$_SESSION[aircraft_id]";
$datename = "AMA - $year - $month";
$filename = str_replace(' ', '', $datename);

include("connect.php");
$sql = "SELECT * FROM downtime WHERE aircraft_id='$view_id' AND dwntime_year='$year' AND dwntime_month='$month' ORDER BY '$listorder'";
$result = @mysql_query($sql,$connection) or die(mysql_error());

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$row_id = $row['row_id'];
$dwntime_type = ucfirst(stripslashes($row['dwntime_type']));
$dwntime_hrs = round($row['dwntime_hrs'], 2);
$dwntime_s = $row['dwntime_start'];
$dwntime_e = $row['dwntime_end'];
$dwntime_ata = $row['dwntime_ata'];
$dwntime_reason = stripslashes($row['dwntime_reason']);
$dwntime_solution = stripslashes($row['dwntime_solution']);
$dwntime_log = $row['dwntime_log'];
$dwntime_log_by = stripslashes($row['dwntime_log_by']);
$dwntime_day = $row['dwntime_day'];
$dwntime_month = $row['dwntime_month'];
$dwntime_year = $row['dwntime_year'];

$dwntime_times = "$dwntime_s - $dwntime_e";

$string = "$dwntime_year - $dwntime_month - $dwntime_day";
$dwntime_date = str_replace(' ', '', $string);

$therows[]=array(
"<center>$dwntime_type</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_date</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_times</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_hrs</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_ata</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_reason</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_solution</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_log</center>",
"<center>$dwntime_log_by</center>");
}
$excel=new ExcelWriter("$filename.xls");

if($excel==false)
echo $excel->error;

$x='';
foreach ($therows as $therow)
{
$x .= "<p>".implode('<br />',$therow)."</p>";
$y .= $excel->writeLine($therows);
}

$myArr=array("<b>XOJET AMA</b>","<b><i>$monthname, $year</i></b>");
$excel->writeLine($myArr);

$myArr=array(
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",

"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",
"<font color=#FFFFFF>--------------------------</font>",);
$excel->writeLine($myArr);

$myArr=array(
"<center><b>Type</b></center>",
"<center><b>Date</b></center>",
"<center><b>Downtime</b></center>",
"<center><b>Hours Down</b></center>",
"<center><b>ATA</b></center>",
"<center><b>Discrepancy</b></center>",
"<center><b>Resolution</b></center>",
"<center><b>Logged</b></center>",
"<center><b>Logged By</b></center>");
$excel->writeLine($myArr);

$excel->open($filename.xls);
echo "Data has been written to $filename.xls successfully. <a href=$filename.xls>Click here</a><br><hr size=1><br>$x<br><hr size=1><p>$y";
