echo and lists

[KillerWolf]

i was wondering if anyone has a program that uses echo statements to display an ordered list and an unordered list?

[code]
<?php
$data = array ('Dog', 'Cat', 'Bird', 'Fish');

echo '<h3>Animals - ordered list</h3>';
echo '<ol>';
foreach ($data as $animal) {
    echo "<li>$animal</li>" ;
}
echo '</ol>';

echo '<h3>Animals - unordered list</h3>';
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($data as $animal) {
    echo "<li>$animal</li>" ;
}
echo '</ul>';

?>[/code]

the unordered part of the proram does not work. possibly becuase of it being an array your pulling?

The solution works fine. Why do you say that it does not work?

just because the lists are the same and what i was needing is to be able to have it sort through the list that is allowed.

The solution answered your original question. If you can explain what you're really looking for, maybe we can help you some more.

ok sorry about that, all i need really is a to be able to enter certain lists(hard code) then have it print it albetically and then just random. sorry about my english.

try
[code]
<?php
$data = array ('Dog', 'Cat', 'Bird', 'Fish');

// SORTED list
sort ($data);

echo '<h3>Animals - sorted list</h3>';
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($data as $animal) {
    echo "<li>$animal</li>" ;
}
echo '</ul>';


// RANDOM list
shuffle ($data);

echo '<h3>Animals - random list</h3>';
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($data as $animal) {
    echo "<li>$animal</li>" ;
}
echo '</ul>';

?>
