[SOLVED] Returning a script of code as a string in an array?

[Solarpitch]

Hey guys,

 

The below code is part of a pagination script in a function. I want to return this section in an array value but I am not sure how its done. I included what I have been trying..

 

        $myinfo = array();

if ($pageno == 1) {
        $printpages = " First Prev ";
} else {
        $printpages =. " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=1&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>First</a> ";
        $prevpage = $pageno-1;

        $printpages =. " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$prevpage&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>Prev</a> ";
}
$printpages =. " ( Page $pageno of $lastpage ) ";
if ($pageno == $lastpage) {
        $printpages =. " Next Last ";
} else {

        $nextpage = $pageno+1;
        $printpages =. " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$nextpage&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>Next</a> ";
        $printpages =. " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$lastpage&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>Last</a> ";
} 



    $myinfo[0] .= $printpages;
    return $myinfo;

 

 

I've a feeling I am way off the mark here!

Hi,

 

First off, a few things immediately jump out at me: The use of =. instead of .= in your string concatenation looks wrong. I tried a sample piece of code using =. and I got parse errors, so I don't know if that was just a typo.

 

Second, you're using the string concatenation operation to assign a string to an array item - again, this looks wrong. Use

$myinfo[0] = $printpages;

 

I'm not sure why you need an array there and not just return a string - maybe you have some constraints on your function signatures?

 

Cheers,

Darren.

Yea just make it like this

you had the wrong syntax

 

its

.= instead of =.

 

You code would be something like this.

edit it to your scripts variables etc.

<?php
function test()
{ 
\\ set pageno if not set in $_GET['pageno'];
if (!isset($_GET['pageno']))
{
$pageno = 1;
}
else
{
        $pageno = $_GET['pageno'];     
} 

\\last page variable
$lastpage = 15;


if ($pageno == 1) {
        $printpages = " First Prev ";
} else {
        $printpages .= " <a 

href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=1&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>First</a> ";
        $prevpage = $pageno - 1;

        $printpages .= " <a 

href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$prevpage&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>Prev</a> 

";
}
$printpages .= " ( Page $pageno of $lastpage ) ";
if ($pageno == $lastpage) {
        $printpages .= " Next Last ";
} else {

        $nextpage = $pageno+1;
        $printpages .= " <a 

href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$nextpage&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>Next</a> 

";
        $printpages .= " <a 

href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$lastpage&area=".$area."&orderby=".$orderby."'>Last</a> 

";
} 




    echo $printpages;
}
\\ put this where ever you want to call the pagination script above.
test();
?>
