Display Tournament Bracket

[Staggan]

Hello

 

I am looking for some help to display an array which contains the data for our tournament.... I have been using a class called class_knockout.php which has proved a huge help... but it uses GDLIB to display the results and I am getting varying results from different browsers and often getting garbage instead... even though the array is always valid.

 

Here is how the array looks:

 

 

Array
(
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => WARS
                    [s1] => 2
                    [c2] => Bueca Juerniores
                    [s2] => 1
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => BUECA JUENIORESITA
                    [s1] => 0
                    [c2] => FC Naulakone
                    [s2] => 1
                )

            [2] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => pesfi
                    [s1] => 0
                    [c2] => FenderZ
                    [s2] => 1
                )

            [3] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => HITers
                    [s1] => 0
                    [c2] => Almargem FC
                    [s2] => 1
                )

        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => WARS
                    [s1] => 0
                    [c2] => FC Naulakone
                    [s2] => 1
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => FenderZ
                    [s1] => 0
                    [c2] => Almargem FC
                    [s2] => 1
                )

        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [c1] => FC Naulakone
                    [s1] => 0
                    [c2] => Almargem FC
                    [s2] => 1
                )

        )

)

 

 

 

The outer array is the round, 1 being the first and 3 being the final, the inner array is each game in that round with each game having 2 competitors, c1 and c2, and 2 scores, s1 and s2

 

The number of rounds can be dynamic as well.. so there could be up to maybe 32 games in a single....

 

Any advice would be appreciated

 

Thanks

foreach within a foreach maybe?

[JonnoTheDev]

How would you like it displayed?

[Staggan]

Ideally like a normal tournament bracket...

Round 1 games in column1, round 2 in column 2 etc.....

 

Like this....

 

TEAM 1   2

                         TEAM 2 

TEAM 2   3

 

 

 

Thanks

assuming your array of data is in $data, a solution using a table rowspan attribute and a little math/array indexing -

$rowspan = 1;
$output = array(); // where to build the output at
$heading = '';
foreach($data as $round=>$arr){
    $heading .= "<th>Round $round</th>"; // make some headings for each round
    if($round !=1){ // do only after the first round
        $rowspan *= 2; // double the rowspan - 1,2,4,8,
    }
    foreach($arr as $key=>$value){ // loop over all the data within each round
        $index = $key * $rowspan; // line number to add the output at
        if(!isset($output[$index])){$output[$index] = '<tr>';} // start each line
        $output[$index] .= "<td rowspan='$rowspan'>{$value['c1']} - {$value['s1']}<br>{$value['c2']} - {$value['s2']}</td>";
    }
}

// display the result
echo "<table border='1'>\n"; // no css for example purposes only
echo "<tr>$heading</tr>\n"; // the heading row
echo implode("</tr>\n",$output); // terminate each line and implode into a string
echo "</tr>\n"; // terminate last line
echo "</table>";
