Afternoon All,

 

Following on from a previous post, I've now managed to get my postcode script to work, i.e. I can enter a postcode of a start & finish and it returns the distance.

 

To extend on that, I've set up a centres table, a courses table and an association table.

 

When you add a centre, you select (multiple) courses that the place will hold. This all works well.

 

I then have a script (below) which you enter your postcode and select the course you want to do, it should then return the 5 nearest centres. At the mo it only returns 1. Can someone point me in the right direction as I've now looked at this way too long.

 

Thanks

try this with you first while loop:

$i=0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$finish[$i] = $row[2];
$centre_name[$i] = $row[1];
$i++;
}

echo 'your nearest 5 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", " .$centre_name['2'] . ", " .$centre_name['3'] . ", " .$centre_name['4'];

Thanks ldb358, I've replaced my code with the loop, I think it's working. It shows my centres but says postcode not found

 

your nearest 5 centre are Combined Heating Services Ltd, Gas Train Ltd, SWAAT, East Cheshire Training & Assessment, Steve Johnstonyour nearest centre is Array

post code not found

 

That's a distance of 3516 miles

Hmmm...

 

Also, what if only one centre runs that course? If I try that, I get:

 

your nearest 5 centre are UK Energy Training Ltd, , , , your nearest centre is Array

post code not found

 

That's a distance of 3516 miles

 

The distance of 3516 returns if a postcode isn't found i've discovered!

 

I figured a loop was needed somewhere but wasn't sure if that would just show the same result 5 times or not (sorry if thats a daft thing to say!)

 

Thanks

I've added this bit

echo 'your nearest 5 centre are '.$finish['0'] . ", " .$finish['1'] . ", " .$finish['2'] . ", " .$finish['3'] . 

", " .$finish['4'];

This is needed to show the postcodes for each centre. I guess I now need to loop the whole thing passing in the postcodes? That should do it I guess, if I then sort the distance by ascending??

okay this should fix the results if there is only 1(or less than 5):

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$finish[$i] = $row[2];
$centre_name[$i] = $row[1];
$i++;
}
switch(mysql_num_rows($results)){
   case "4":
echo 'your nearest 4 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", " .$centre_name['2'] . ", and " .$centre_name['3'] ;
   break;
  case "3":
echo 'your nearest 3 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", and " .$centre_name['2'];
   break;
  case "2":
echo 'your nearest 2 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", and " .$centre_name['1'];
  break;
  case "1":
echo 'your nearest centre is '.$centre_name['0'];
  break;
  case "0":
echo "no records found";
  break;
case "5":
default:
echo 'your nearest 5 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", " .$centre_name['2'] . ", " .$centre_name['3'] . ", and " .$centre_name['4'];
}

i don't get what you are asking can you clarify

 

Edit: do you want to do somthing like this?:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$finish[$i] = $row[2];
$centre_name[$i] = $row[1];
$i++;
}
switch(mysql_num_rows($results)){
   case "4":
echo 'your nearest 4 centre are '.$centre_name['0']."(".$finish['0'].")" . ", " .$centre_name['2']."(".$finish['1'].")" . ", " .$centre_name['2']."(".$finish['2'].")" . ", and " .$centre_name['3']."(".$finish['3'].")";
   break;
  case "3":
echo 'your nearest 3 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] ."(".$finish['0'].")" . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . "(".$finish['1'].")" .  ", and " .$centre_name['2']."(".$finish['2'].")" ;
   break;
  case "2":
echo 'your nearest 2 centre are '.$centre_name['0']. "(".$finish['0'].")" . ", and " .$centre_name['1']."(".$finish['1'].")";
  break;
  case "1":
echo 'your nearest centre is '.$centre_name['0']."(".$finish['0'].")";
  break;
  case "0":
echo "no records found";
  break;
case "5":
default:
echo 'your nearest 5 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . "(".$finish['0'].")" . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . "(".$finish['1'].")" . ", " .$centre_name['2'] . "(".$finish['2'].")" . ", " .$centre_name['3'] . "(".$finish['3'].")" . ", and " .$centre_name['4']."(".$finish['4'].")" . ;
}

Hi ldb358

 

Thanks again for the reply. I think that will sort the issue if there is only 1 postcode. The other part was me trying to say, once I loop through 5 times to produce 5 postcodes, I need to pass these in to the code so it says

location 1 - 25 miles

location 2 - 50 miles

etc

 

So once the loop generates the postcode and centre name,rather than list them out, I need to pass them into the function so it will then say the above

 

Does that make more sense?

thanks again!

this is somewhat pointless and long, and can be avoided with a few loops.

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
   $finish[$i] = $row[2];
   $centre_name[$i] = $row[1];
$i++;
}
switch(mysql_num_rows($results)){
   case "4":
echo 'your nearest 4 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", " .$centre_name['2'] . ", and " .$centre_name['3'] ;
   break;
  case "3":
echo 'your nearest 3 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", and " .$centre_name['2'];
   break;
  case "2":
echo 'your nearest 2 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", and " .$centre_name['1'];
  break;
  case "1":
echo 'your nearest centre is '.$centre_name['0'];
  break;
  case "0":
echo "no records found";
  break;
case "5":
default:
echo 'your nearest 5 centre are '.$centre_name['0'] . ", " .$centre_name['1'] . ", " .$centre_name['2'] . ", " .$centre_name['3'] . ", and " .$centre_name['4'];
}

You can make your loop like this

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
   $finish[] = $row[2];
   $centre_name[] = $row[1];
}

which saves a few lines of code, but when building the return string, do something like

 

$string = "Your nearest ".count($centre_name);
string .= (count($centre_name) > 1) ? " events are " : " event is ";//will put an is if only 1 and an are if more than 1
//now go through the array, and add the values to string 
foreach($centre_name as $key => $name){
$string .= $name;
$string .= ($key != (count($centre_name) - 1)) ? ", " : " ";//will add a comma if we aren't at the end. if not just add a space
}
echo $string

 

with the following test data

$centre_name = array("dog", "cat", "mouse");

$string = "Your nearest ".count($centre_name);
$string .= (count($centre_name) > 1) ? " events are " : " event is ";//will put an is if only 1 and an are if more than 1
//now go through the array, and add the values to string 
foreach($centre_name as $key => $name){
$string .= $name;
$string .= ($key != (count($centre_name) - 1)) ? ", " : " ";//will add a comma if we aren't at the end. if not just add a space
}
echo $string

 

the script returned

Your nearest 3 events are dog, cat, mouse 

 

 

Thank mikesta707

 

Why do I not need the i++ in the loop

[php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
  $finish[] = $row[2];
  $centre_name[] = $row[1];
}
[/code]

Like it was here

while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
$finish[$i] = $row[2];
$centre_name[$i] = $row[1];
$i++;
}

 

I also get the error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONCAT_EQUAL in C:\Program Files\Apache\Apache2\htdocs\logic\web\locate.php on line 43

When I use

[php
$string = "Your nearest ".count($centre_name);
string .= (count($centre_name) > 1) ? " events are " : " event is ";//will put an is if only 1 and an are if more than 1
//now go through the array, and add the values to string
foreach($centre_name as $key => $name){
$string .= $name;
$string .= ($key != (count($centre_name) - 1)) ? ", " : " ";//will add a comma if we aren't at the end. if not just add a space
}
echo $string
[/code]
line 43 is
string .= (count($centre_name) > 1) ? " events are " : " event is "; //will put an is if only 1 and an are if more than 1

 

Finally, do I need this line:

$centre_name = array("dog", "cat", "mouse");

Or is it just to illustrate what the array would like like?

 

Thanks & apologies!

Ah ok, I'm getting somewhere (have had a very strong coffee now!)

 

My code

$i=0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
   $finish[] = $row[2];
   $centre_name[] = $row[1];
   
}

$location = "Your nearest ".count($centre_name);
$location .= (count($centre_name) > 1) ? " centres are " : " centre is "; //will put an is if only 1 and an are if more than 1
//now go through the array, and add the values to string 
foreach($centre_name as $key => $name){
$location .= $name;
$location .= ($key != (count($centre_name) - 1)) ? "<br/> " : " "; //will add a comma if we aren't at the end. if not just add a space
}
echo $location;	

This now works without error. However, I need to add the postcode into the loop and it needs to show the distance too. For example:

Your nearest 6 centres are:

location 1 - 25 miles

location 2 - 125 miles

location 3 - 205 miles

The distance is calculated by the function, which is why I wondered if you need to loop through to get the postcodes for each centre, than pass that into the function, looping that to provide the above info?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

Sorry, am struggling with this. Right, thanks to those above who've helped, i'm now getting somewhere!

The following code returns

Your nearest 6 centres are:

Combined Heating Services Ltd

Gas Train Ltd

SWAAT

East Cheshire Training & Assessment

Steve Johnston

UK Energy Training Ltd ArrayNR4 6DG ME5 8RF

PL14 3US

SK4 1RR

FY4 5PN

CH5 2QJ

Am struggling with 2 parts:

1) Getting the postcode next to the company name

2) Getting the distance of each location

 

At the mo it says 'post code not found'. And won't show any distances either.
