[SOLVED] Arrays

[Unholy Prayer]

I still need help with this code.  The variables are being replaced correctly, but I have a file with html content that I am using with the code but the html isn't being displayed, just the variables.    This is my code:

$array = array(
                   'FORUM_ID' => $fid,
                   'FORUM_NAME' => $fname,
                   'FORUM_DESC' => $fdescription,
                   'FORUM_STATUS' => $fstatus,
                   'FORUM_TYPE' => $ftype,
                   'FLASTPOST_AUTH' => $lastpostauth,
                   'FLASTPOST_DATETIME' => $lastpostdatetime,
                   'FORUM_THREADS' => $numthreads,
                   'FORUM_REPLIES' => $numreplies
                   );

$buildforums = file_get_contents('templates/default/forumlist_body.tpl');

                  foreach($array as $buildforums) {
   print $buildforums;
              
        }

I know the array is correct because on this page, it displays them but without the html tags from forumlist_body.tpl.    That file contains html tables and what not but only lists whatever $fid, etc. is equal to even when I only use FORUM_ID to display $fid.

I don't fully understand what you're trying to do. But..

Your code currently stores the contents of ./templates/default/forumlist_body.tpl to $buildforums

Then you use foreach to go through your array in which you overwrite your $buildforums variable, I'm guessing you didn't mean to do this.

So does this mean I should eliminate my foreach statement?

 

I tried this, but now the arrays don't work. :'(

Explain what you're trying to do first.

Ok the arrays are supposed to replace words in the forumlist_body.tpl file with whatever word matches.  For example, 'FORUM_ID' => $fid, will replace whereever the word FORUM_ID is found in the contents of the file forumlist_body.tpl.  My script partially does what it's supposed to, but it only displays where FORUM_ID and the other arrays are found but displays whatever $fid is equal to(In this case, it is in a loop that gets the primary key column from the database).  There are html tags in forumlist_body.tpl and the strings such as $fid and $fname are supposed to be displayed in a table, but all my script does is display whatever the strings are equal to without the html.

ok then you'd do something like this

 

$array = array(
                   'FORUM_ID' => $fid,
                   'FORUM_NAME' => $fname,
                   'FORUM_DESC' => $fdescription,
                   'FORUM_STATUS' => $fstatus,
                   'FORUM_TYPE' => $ftype,
                   'FLASTPOST_AUTH' => $lastpostauth,
                   'FLASTPOST_DATETIME' => $lastpostdatetime,
                   'FORUM_THREADS' => $numthreads,
                   'FORUM_REPLIES' => $numreplies
                   );

$buildforums = file_get_contents('templates/default/forumlist_body.tpl');

foreach ($array as $template_var => $replacement_var){
$buildforums = str_replace($template_var, $replacement_var, $buildforums);
}

echo $buildforums;

Omg, thank you!  You are my savior of the day.

                   );

$buildforums = file_get_contents('templates/default/forumlist_body.tpl');

foreach ($array as $template_var => $replacement_var){
$buildforums = str_replace($template_var, $replacement_var, $buildforums);
}

echo $buildforums;

 

 

Is that not the same thing as I posted here: http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,136859.msg578780.html#msg578780

 

???

 

Yes, unless you setup a parsing bit.

 

Code:

 

<?php

$tplFileData = '<a href="viewforum.php?id=FORUM_ID">FORUM_NAME</a>';

$fid=1;

$array = array("FORUM_ID" => "$fid", "FORUM_NAME" => "Name");

 

foreach ($array as $key => $val) {

        $tplFileData = str_replace($key, $val, $tplFileData);

}

 

print $tplFileData;

?>
