unexpected T_IF

[dbillings]

I only glanced at the code but I think using $array without the [] will only see it as a variable and change the value each time.

You want to use $array[]. This will produce a true array with multiple values.

The arrays are in this same structure. Here is the $weapons one.

<?php // Weapons

$weapons = array( array( id => 0,
					 weapon => "L85A2", 
					 price => 250,
					 damage => 15,
					 type => "Rifle",
					 rarity => "Basic",
					 description => "The L85A2 is a bullpup assault rifle, it is very powerful and 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."
					),
             );

?>

foreach($array as $key => $val){
if($item_search == $val[$item_cr]){
	$search = 1;
		echo '<table class="fix"><tr>';
		if($item_type == "weapons"){
			$x= 'weapon';

The part you just gave me already works fine. Its the problem with the 3 if statements before that. The IF statements try to set the array variable, either $weapons, $armors or $vehicles. And put those array variables into a

normal variable called $array. But the foreach function isnt recognising $array as one of the array variables.

[MasterACE14]

is it possible to use a switch statement to use with $_POST["type"] and the 3 array variables, $weapons, $armors and $vehicles ? and if it is possible, how would I code it?

[MasterACE14]

[teng84]

switch is use to condition one variable that is posible to have diff value

 

switch($_POST["type"]){

case 'weapon':

//statement here

break;

case 'armors':

//statement here

break;

 

}

[MasterACE14]

ok, I guess I gotta remove my drop down box feature then  :-\

[MasterACE14]

on second thoughts, can I do something like this?

<?php
foreach ($weapons as $key => $val) or
foreach ($armors as $key => $val) or
foreach ($vehicles as $key => $val)

 

or this?

<?php
foreach ($weapons as $key => $val) and
foreach ($armors as $key => $val) and
foreach ($vehicles as $key => $val)

 

or do I have to use the other operators?

<?php
|| // or
&& // and

 

??

[teng84]

foreach ($weapons as $key => $val) or

foreach ($armors as $key => $val) or

foreach ($vehicles as $key => $val)

 

 

that is wrong

what do you want to obtain using that code?

[MasterACE14]

the 2 dimensional array.

[MadTechie]

what are you trying to do ?

[MasterACE14]

I have a search form, which searchs a 2 dimensional array for items that are in the array. I have 3 separate 2d arrays. Which are called $weapons, $armors and $vehicles, now the script I have for displaying the found result from the array was working fine, when I had just the 1, 2d array for it to search. But where I have the foreach statement:

<?php
foreach ($weapons as $key => $val)

 

I need the $weapons to automatically change to what array is being searched, depending on what has been selected in the dropdown box on the previous page.

 

so I have tried if statements, like so:

<?php
if($_POST["itemtype"] == "weapons") {
$array = $weapons;
} // but with 1 if statement for each array of course
foreach ($array as $key => $val)

 

and I have thought of maybe a switch statement, and my latest one, using "or" and "and".

 

But I have had no luck so far.

[BlueSkyIS]

if $_POST["itemtype"] will ALWAYS be a valid array name (or if you validate first), you could use something like:

 

// Define arrays up here. then...

$array = ${$_POST['itemtype]};

 

not tested...

[MasterACE14]

yeah I've tried that with no success 

[MasterACE14]

@# Bump #@

[MasterACE14]

any ideas anyone?

[yzerman]

any ideas anyone?

 

K since this is the 3rd page - lets start over:

 

What is the code you are working on?

What do you expect it to do? (if you can give me an example of the output you want to see)

[MasterACE14]

Basically I have a cronjob, set to run every 60 minutes(hourly) and this is the file that is run by the cronjob:

<?php // cron job

include_once '/home/ace/public_html/conflictingforces/functions.php';

lastturn(time());
nextturn();

?>

 

Now the 2 functions I run in the cronjob, are for telling users on my website how long it is until the next one is going to run. Here is the 2 functions I have for that:

<?php
// Workout the time since the last turn change
function lastturn($time){

$rs = mysql_connect( "localhost", "ace_ACE", "shadow69" );
$rs = mysql_select_db( "ace_cf" );

// SQL query for all entries in descending order
$sql = "UPDATE `cf_info` SET lastturn = $time";
echo $sql;
$rs = mysql_query( $sql ) or die('Query:<br />' . $sql . '<br /><br />Error:<br />' . mysql_error());
}


// Workout the time until the next turn change
function nextturn(){

$rs = mysql_connect( "localhost", "ace_ACE", "shadow69" );
$rs = mysql_select_db( "ace_cf" );

// SQL query for all entries in descending order
$sql = "SELECT `lastturn` FROM `cf_info`";
$SQLq = mysql_query( $sql ) or die('Query:<br />' . $sql . '<br /><br />Error:<br />' . mysql_error());
$rss = mysql_fetch_assoc( $SQLq );
$lastturntime = $rss['lastturn'];

// grab time since last turn change
$lastturnchange = $lastturntime[0];
// get the current time
$currenttime = time();
// get the difference between last turn change and the current time
$dif = $currenttime - $lastturnchange;
// workout how many minutes until the next turn : part 1
$nextturnmin = ceil($dif/60); //round up (remove the seconds)
// workout how many minutes until the next turn : part 2
$nextturn = 60 - $nextturnmin;
// if the time until the next turn is less then zero, set the time till next turn to 0
if ($nextturnmin < 0) { $nextturnmin = 0; }
// return the time until next turn change
return $nextturnmin;
}
?>

 

Basically I want it to display how long it is until the next cronjob in minutes. It is currently displaying this:

Next Turn in 19862284 min

 

LOL! wrong post altogether sorry. that post is here http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php/topic,162011.15.html

 

let me start again

[MasterACE14]

what I have is a 2dimensional array, and I have a foreach statement for each key and value in the array ready to be echo'd into a table. Basically I have a form on the previous page, which has a drop down box, with 3 options, they are "weapon", "armor" and "vehicle". These are the 3, 2d arrays I have setup "$weapons", "$armors" and "$vehicles". And with the foreach statement, it is setup like this:

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

 

and $array is whatever array was selected with the drop down box. But it doesn't work, I need to somehow work out a way to get whatever option was chosen, and put it into a variable called $array so it can be used in the foreach statement.

 

Regards ACE

[yzerman]

I need some code to work with. I cant tell what you are trying to do with that foreach statement, and going back only confuses me.

[MasterACE14]

<?php
$item_cr = $_POST["cat"]; // this gets the checkbox value
$item_search = $_POST["item"]; // this gets the search box value
$item_type = $_POST["type"]; // this gets the drop down box value

if($item_type == "weapons") {
$array = $weapons;
}
elseif($item_type == "armors") {
$array = $armors;
}
elseif($item_type == "vehicles") {
$array = $vehicles;
}

foreach($array as $key => $val){
if($item_search == $val[$item_cr]){
	$search = 1;
		echo '<table class="fix"><tr>';
		if($item_type == "weapons"){
			$x= 'weapon';
		}
		elseif($item_type == "armors"){
			$x= 'armor';
		}
		elseif($item_type == "vehicles"){
			$x= 'vehicle';
		}
		echo '<td colspan="2">' . $item_type[$key][$x]. '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>id</td><td>' . $item_type[$key]['id'] . '</td></tr>';
		if($item_type == "weapons"){
			$y= 'damage';
		}
		elseif($item_type == "armors"){
			$y= 'defence';
		}
		elseif($item_type == "vehicles"){
			$y= 'power';
		}
		echo '<tr><td>' . $x . '</td><td>' . $item_type[$key][$x] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>price</td><td>' . $item_type[$key]['price'] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>' . $y . '</td><td>' . $item_type[$key][$y] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>type</td><td>' . $item_type[$key]['type'] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>rarity</td><td>' . $item_type[$key]['rarity'] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>description</td><td>' . $item_type[$key]['description'] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '<tr><td>options</td><td>' . $item_type[$key]['options'] . '</td></tr>';
		echo '</table><br />';
}

}
if(!isset($search) || $search != 1){
echo "not found<br><br>";
}
