laural Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I have a forum that is included on my site via SSI. There is a function provided that allows me to pull in the Member name (based on a member id) - and I can print the array of profile information. I need to format and display this information and I don't know how to do that... can anyone point me in the right direction? BTW, I cannot add anything to the function... Thank you!

kicken Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 There is no way you're going to format PHP's print_r output into something presentable to an end-user using css. print_r is for debugging use only. You need to be able to use PHP to get the information and format it that way.

laural Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I had a bad feeling that would be the answer Thanks, I appreciate the confirmation!

Jessica Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Does the function return an array which you then put into print_r or does the function actually call print_r?

laural Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Jessica, The function does return an array - I put it in print_r to "see" the array... anything I can do to format?

Jessica Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yes. Stop using print_r. Figure out how you want it to look. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/273312-how-to-style-php-function-array/#findComment-1406779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
