array created in 1 place but used separately

I need my code to generate the following HTML:

div id="wowslider-container1">
<div class="ws_images">
<span><img src="https://alaskapac.centertix.net/UPLImage/aca_beauty.jpg" alt="Disney's Beauty & the Beast" title="Disney's Beauty & the Beast" id="wows0" /></span>

</div></div>
</div>        

 

So I assumed that it would be something similar to the following:

	while ($Row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($carouselResult)){
	$EventName = $Row['EventTitle'];
	$image = $Row['eImage'];

/* $big_image = LISTING OF ALL IMAGES */
$big_image =  array('<span><img src="https://alaskapac.centertix.net/UPLImage/' . $image . '" alt="' . $EventName. '" title="' . $EventName . '" id="wows'. $i .'" /></span>'."\n");
$i2 = $i;
$i = $i+1;
/* $nav_image = TINY BOXES TO NAVIGATE THROUGHOUT CAROUSEL */
$nav_image = array('<a href="#wows' . $i2 . '" title="'.$EventName.'"><img src="https://alaskapac.centertix.net/UPLImage/' . $image . '" alt="' . $EventName. '" />'.$i.'</a>'."\n");
$i2 = $i2+1;
}	

echo '<div id="wowslider-container1">'."\n".'<div class="ws_images">'."\n";
echo array($big_image);
echo '</div><div class="ws_bullets"><div>'."\n";
echo array($nav_image);
echo '</div></div>'."\n".'</div>';

 

But array($big_image) and array($nav_image) do not work as I expected and it just produces the following HTML code:

<div id="wowslider-container1">
<div class="ws_images">
Array</div><div class="ws_bullets"><div>
Array</div></div>
</div> 

 

Can anyone help out a beginner in PHP?

a fast visit to here and look at the examples would better help to understand arrays

http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php

 

when you place array(), that creates an array, to display an array it must loop the results, it looped them the first time in your while loop.

If your goal is to make a new array, sort them or display elsewhere, then use

$big_image[] =  '<span><img src="https://alaskapac.centertix.net/UPLImage/' . $image . '" alt="' . $EventName. '" title="' . $EventName . '" id="wows'. $i .'" /></span>'."\n";
$nav_image[] = '<a href="#wows' . $i2 . '" title="'.$EventName.'"><img src="https://alaskapac.centertix.net/UPLImage/' . $image . '" alt="' . $EventName. '" />'.$i.'</a>'."\n";

 

then outside your while loop must do a foreach to get each array result

echo '<div id="wowslider-container1">'."\n".'<div class="ws_images">'."\n";
foreach($big_image as $b_image){
echo $b_image;
}
echo '</div><div class="ws_bullets"><div>'."\n";
foreach($nav_image as $n_image){
echo $n_image;
}
echo '</div></div>'."\n".'</div>';

 

you could play around with your styles and dividers
