[ricky spires]

hello

 

how would i write,

 

if $a has 1 or more of $b do something ?

for example

 

if($a >1 $b){
do something
}else{
do nothing
}

 

or >2

or >3

 

etc...

 

thanks

What are $a and $b for example?  That will likely determine what function you'd use.

[q11we]

What is datatype of $a and $b. If they are integer or double use

if($a >= 2*$b) { //2 or more of $b
//start moving
}

 

but if they are string you can use preg_match()

$reg = "/(".$b."){2,}/";
if(preg_match($reg, $a)) { //two or more
  //start moving
}

im trying to say

 

if  $id has 1 or more $other_var with the same value as $id do something

 

for example

 

$id - $name - $parent_id

 

1  -  title1  -  0  (parent)

2  -  title2  -  0  (parent)

3  -  link1  -  1  (child)

4  -  link2  -  1  (child)

5  -  link3  -  2  (child)

6  -  link4  -  2  (child)

7  -  link5  -  0  (just a link)

8  -  link6  -  0  (just a link)

 

so the above would be

 

if $id has 1 or more $parent_id with the same id do something.

 

i cant use

 

if $id == $parent_id for this. its no good because im trying to set a nested level

 

------------------------------------------------

 

this is the actual code with the problem...

 

the part that says "****THIS IS WHERE IM STUCK***" is where i need to put some code that says "if $id HAS ANY $parent_id with the same number make the li a title."

 

 

<div>
$header = Text::find_by_parentID(0);  		
foreach ($header as $headers){
$Hid = $headers->id;
        $Hname = $headers->name;
        $Hparent = $headers->parent;	

echo $Hparent == 0 ? '<h3 class="header">'.$Hname.'</h3>' : '';

echo'
<ul class="nav">';

	//FIND NESTED TITLES / LINKS
	$headText = Text::find_by_child($Hid);  		
        foreach ($headText as $headTexts){
        $Cid = $headTexts->id;
                $Cname = $headTexts->name;
                $Cparent = $headTexts->parent;

	echo ***THIS IS WHERE IS WANT THE CODE***  ? '<li><a href="">'.Cname.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="" class="subTitle">'.Cname.'</a>';	

	echo'
	<ul class="subLevel" style="margin-left: 15px">';
		   
	//FIND SUBLINK
	$sub = Text::find_by_child($Cid);  		
        foreach ($subs $subs){
                $name = $subs->name;
     	        echo'<li><a href="">'.$name.'</a></li>';
        }
	echo'	
	</ul>
	</li>';	
	}
echo'</ul>';
}
echo'</div>';
?>

 

so im trying to say if a <li> has and sub links the <li> that the $parent_id is pointing to becomes a title

hi all.

 

no worries.

 

i fixed it another way.. i add a column in the db called type..

 

so each item in the list could be set to title or link. that way the header for each nested levels could be set to "title"

 

 

<?PHP require_once("includes/initialize.php"); ?>
<?PHP

echo'
<div class="arrowlistmenu">';


$nav = PhLists::navOrder($PHLlno, $PHLorb, $PHLord);

//FIND HEADER
$navHead = PhLists::find_by_parentID(0);
foreach($navHead as $navHeads){
    $headID = $navHeads->id;
$headLnk = $navHeads->pageLink_id;	

$PCBhead = PCbridge::find_NavText($headLnk, $langID);
foreach ($PCBhead as $PCBheads){
$headText = $PCBheads->pageContent_id;

$headText = PageContent::find_text($headText);  		
foreach ($headText as $headTexts){
$header = $headTexts->title;	

echo $navPnt == 0 ? '<h3 class="menuheader expandable">'.$header.'</h3>' : '';

echo'
<ul class="categoryitems">';

	//FIND LINK & TITLES
	$navLink = PhLists::find_by_child($headID);
	foreach($navLink as $navLinks){
	$nLid = $navLinks->id;	
	$nLink = $navLinks->pageLink_id;
	$nLinkPnt = $navLinks->parent_id;
	$nLinklvl = $navLinks->level;

	$PCBlink = PCbridge::find_NavText($nLink, $langID);
	foreach ($PCBlink as $PCBlinks){
	$linkText = $PCBlinks->pageContent_id;

	$lnkText = PageContent::find_text($linkText);  		
	foreach ($lnkText as $lnkTexts){

	echo $nLinklvl == "Link" ? '<li><a href="">'.$lnkTexts->title.'</a></li>' : '<li><a href="" class="subexpandable">'.$lnkTexts->title.'</a>';

			echo'
			<ul class="subcategoryitems" style="margin-left: 15px">';

			//FIND SUBNAV SUBLINK
			$subNav = PhLists::find_by_child($nLid);
			foreach($subNav as $subNavs){
			$sLinkID = $subNavs->pageLink_id;
			$sLinkPnt = $subNavs->parent_id;
			$sLinklvl = $navLinks->level;

			$PCBsubLink = PCbridge::find_NavText($sLinkID, $langID);
			foreach ($PCBsubLink as $PCBsubLinks){
			$subLinkText = $PCBsubLinks->pageContent_id;

			$subLnkText = PageContent::find_text($subLinkText);  		
			foreach ($subLnkText as $subLnkTexts){
			$subLink = $subLnkTexts->title;	
				echo'
				<li><a href="">'.$subLink.'</a></li>';
			}}}
			echo'	
			</ul>
		</li>';	
	}}}
echo'</ul>';
}}}
echo'</div>';
?>

 

 

 

that did the trick.

not what i wanted really but it works

 

 

 

 

- title1

 

    - subTitle1

        - subLink1

    - link1

 

- title2

 

    - subTitle2

        - subLink2

    - link2

 

 

thanks
