[SOLVED] Arrays and echoing all

[plutomed]

I have this bit of code and it seems to only echo the first one in te array, why?

 

<?php
function main_nav()
{
$main_nav = array(
	"names" => array("Home", "Pictures", "Templates", "Website Coding"),
	"pages" => array("index.php", "pictures.php", "templates.php", "website_coding.php")
);

$count_main = count($main_nav['names']);
$i_main = 0;
$i_main2 = 10;
$links .= " <a href=\"".$main_nav['pages'][$i_main]."\" class=\"glink\" id=\"g".$i_main2."\">".$main_nav['names'][$i_main]."</a> ";
echo $links;
while($i_main < $count_main)
{
	$i_main++;
	$i_main2++;
}
}
?>

Your loop just increments variables, your echo statement is outside te loop. Try changing this:

echo $links;
while($i_main < $count_main)
{
	$i_main++;
	$i_main2++;
}

 

to:

while($i_main < $count_main)
{
	echo $links;
	$i_main++;
	$i_main2++;
}

because your function echos $links, then loops over some numbers doing nothing:

 

echo $links; // You echo one time, but then....
while($i_main < $count_main)
{ // Nothing is happening here.
$i_main++;
$i_main2++;
}

Thanx I changed it to that and it now works except the increment dosn't seem to be working as it is echoing the same link 4 times ???

while($i_main < $count_main)
{
     $links .= " <a href=\"".$main_nav['pages'][$i_main]."\" class=\"glink\" id=\"g".$i_main2."\">".$main_nav['names'][$i_main]."</a> ";

$i_main++;
$i_main2++;
}

echo $links;
