Displaying Array values in a Table

MasterACE14 · September 16, 2007

morning everyone,

I have a Multi-Dimensional Array set up like this:

<?php
$weapons = array( array( id => 0,
					 weapon => "L85A2", 
					 price => 250,
					 damage => 15,
					 type => "Rifle",
					 rarity => "Basic",
					 description => "The L85A2 is a bullpup assault rifle, it can be fitted with a laser. 
           				                 A iron-sight comes standard.",
					 options => "You can give it a Laser."
					),
		   array( id => 1,
					 weapon => "AK-47", 
					 price => 325,
					 damage => 25,
					 type => "Rifle",
					 rarity => "Good",
					 description => "The AK-47(Kalashnikov) is a Russian made assault rifle, it is one of the most
						                 popular weapons in the world, and is also one of the most reliable.",
					 options => "You can give it a iron-sight."
					),
               array( id => 2,
					 weapon => "L96", 
					 price => 400,
					 damage => 30,
					 type => "Sniper Rifle",
					 rarity => "Good",
					 description => "The L96(super magnum) is a sniper rifle with deadly accuracy.",
					 options => "You can give it a stand."
					),
             );
?>

And I'm wondering how do I display the arrays in a table like what I've done here:

<?php

// loop through records writing a table for each one
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $rs ) )
{

?>
<table class = "fix">
<tr>
<td><b><?php echo $row["author"]; ?></b></td>

<?php 

$datetime = $row["posttime"];

?>
<td><b><?php echo date("F j, Y", strtotime($datetime)); ?></b></td>
</tr>


<tr><td colspan="2">
<?php echo $row["text"]; ?>
</td></tr>
</table>
<br>
</center>

<?php } ?>

echo "<table><tr><td colspan='2'>WEAPONS</td></tr>";
foreach($weapons as $w)
{
while (list($k, $v) = each($l))
{
	echo "<tr><td>".$k."</td><td>".$v."</td></tr>";
}
echo "<tr><td colspan='2'><br></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

I'm getting a few errors:

Warning: main(www.crikeygames.com.au/conflictingforces/weapons.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ace/public_html/conflictingforces/lib/encyclopedia.php on line 3

in encyclopedia.php :

<?php // encyclopedia

include 'www.crikeygames.com.au/conflictingforces/weapons.php';

echo "<table><tr><td colspan='2'>WEAPONS</td></tr>";
foreach($weapons as $w)
{
while (list($k, $v) = each($l))
{
	echo "<tr><td>".$k."</td><td>".$v."</td></tr>";
}
echo "<tr><td colspan='2'></td></tr>";
}
echo "</table>";

?>

EDIT:

I've now got it including correctly. Now the only errors Im getting are:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/ace/public_html/conflictingforces/lib/encyclopedia.php on line 8

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /home/ace/public_html/conflictingforces/lib/encyclopedia.php on line 8

Well, is it?

print_r($array);

MasterACE14 · September 16, 2007

sorry? I dont understand :-[

Well, the error message is telling you, that you are passing a non-array.. or non enumerable object to a foreach loop, thus it can do nothing with it..

I'm asking if you dump the content of your variable, (Which should be an array) does it output an array?

no such luck.

Excellant! that works perfectly, thanks rarebit and jscix.

I forgot to ask earlier, but how can I exclude certain fields in the array from being echo'd for example, If I dont want

say weapon 0(L85A2) to be displayed because its rarity is "Basic" how can I make it show it excludes all weapons that are "Basic"? and how can I exclude certain id's for example, exclude id 2(L6) from being echo'd but echo all the other weapons.
