[SOLVED] Need Simple Help on Functions

[arjay_comsci]

hi guys,,i had this problem,,I want to make a function for the days

but the days has the equivalent values.....

 

1-Sunday 4-Wednesday

2-Monday 5-Thursday

3-Tuesday 6-Friday and 7-Saturday

 

and also for the visibility

 

1-Active

2-Inactive

 

No database had been query on it..So its just a function

 

but the output would be the days and not the numbers..

 

hope you'll help me..

You are going to have to try and rephrase your question as it is not at all clear what you are trying to achieve.

how can I make functions on that,,to display the value of days in the dropdown box

[play_]

$days = array('Sunday', 'Monday', 'Tuesday', 'Wednesday', 'Thursday', 'Friday', 'Saturday');

foreach( $days as $k => $v ) {
    echo "$v <br />";
}

 

 

Assuming that's what you're asking for. Was really unclear.

Ok, hard to understand this but here goes...

 

If you need a 'dropdown box' then why not use the html form <SELECT> element and if no db access is required why not just hard code the menu with html?

 

Of course if you wanted you could use php to output the select menu by doing something like

 

echo "<select name='a_name'>";

 

then as play_ suggested use a FOR or FOREACH loop to write out the options, e.g.

 

for ($i = 1; $i <= 7; $i++) {
  echo "<option value='day_value'>Day Name</option>";
}

</select>

 

but the effect is the same so why bother using php unless you have to, like if it absolutely needs to be sever side or if it offers function that you cannot provide using basic html and/or javascript!
