What is wrong with my code?

atyndall · October 5, 2007

This is my code:

<?php
$image_info = array(
'image' => '500150bg.gif'
);
function GetWPData ($columnname, $limit) {
$q = mysql_query("SELECT `post_date`, `post_title` FROM `wp_posts` WHERE (post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish') ORDER BY `wp_posts`.`post_date` DESC LIMIT 0,$limit");
$num = mysql_numrows($q);
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$rows = mysql_result($q,$i,"$columnname");
$array["$i"] = $rows;
$i++;
}
return $array;
}
function RearrangeDate ($var, $format) {
$i=0;
foreach ($var as $td) {
$date = substr($td, 0, 10);
$y = substr($date, 0, 4);
$m = substr($date, 5, 2);
$d = substr($date, 8, 2);
$array["$i"] = $format;
$i++;
}
return $array;
}
function RearrangeTime ($var, $format) {
$i=0;
foreach ($var as $td) {
$time = substr($td, 11, ;
$h = substr($time, 0, 2);
$m = substr($time, 3, 2);
$s = substr($time, 6, 2);
$array["$i"] = $format;
$i++;
}
return $array;
}
function MakeArray () {
$i=0;
while ($i < $num) {
$text["$i"] = $td_format["$i"].' - '. $p_title["$i"];
$i++;
}
return $text;
}
// ########## START OPTIONS ##########

mysql_connect($server,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db("$db") or die('Unable to select database');
$p_d = RearrangeDate(GetWPData('post_date',$num),$pd_format);
$p_t = RearrangeTime(GetWPData('post_date',$num),$t);
$p_title = GetWPData('post_title',$num);
$text = MakeArray();
//mysql_close();
$image_text = array(
array(
'x' => 17,
'y' => 49,
'color' => array(0, 0, 0),
'font' => -5,
'text' => "Latest Articles (as of $td_format):"
),
array(
'x' => 17,
'y' => 65,
'color' => array(0, 0, 0),
'font' => -4,
'text' => $text[0]
),
array(
'x' => 17,
'y' => 80,
'color' => array(0, 0, 0),
'font' => -4,
'text' => $text[1]
),
array(
'x' => 17,
'y' => 95,
'color' => array(0, 0, 0),
'font' => -4,
'text' => $text[2]
),
array(
'x' => 17,
'y' => 110,
'color' => array(0, 0, 0),
'font' => -4,
'text' => $text[3]
),
array(
'x' => 17,
'y' => 124,
'color' => array(0, 0, 0),
'font' => -2,
'text' => "All times are $tz time."
)
);
require('dynamic_gd_image.php');
?>

It returns a result like this:

test1.php

When it should return a result like this:

Can anyone see what is wrong with my code? Any problems than need to be fixd, any ways the code can be made more efficient?

Thankyou,

Learn how to indent, it's very hard to read.

atyndall · October 5, 2007

it was indented but for some reason the forum software reset the indentions.

Can I now please have someone actually answer my question and not comment on my indenting skills

darkfreaks · October 5, 2007

try using '' instead of ``

heckenschutze · October 5, 2007

Use spaces instead of tabs, seriously.

`wp_posts`.`post_date` should be `wp_posts.post_date` or something.

JasonLewis · October 7, 2007

It returns a result like this:

When it should return a result like this:

what do the results look like?

a attitude like that isn't going to get much of a response.

are the results are image? or text?

i think he is using images because at the very bottom it mentions GD...
