Looping An Array.

[Crew-Portal]

How do I take the array

<?php $xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN']['0']['PLAYERNAME']['0']['VALUE'] ?>

and loop it until it finds a user named $_POST['username']. The way the array works is like

<?php
$xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN']['0']['PLAYERNAME']['0']['VALUE']
$xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN']['1']['PLAYERNAME']['0']['VALUE']
$xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN']['2']['PLAYERNAME']['0']['VALUE']
// and ect ect using the is_array function so it doesnt loop forever
?>

Please give us time to read your post. Bumping after 15 minutes is not fair. Wait at least 2 to 3 hours.

maybe explain it better .. how do you want to get info on that array..

[rab]

<?php

foreach($xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN'] as $user) {
    print $user['PLAYERNAME'][0]['VALUE']."\n";
}
?>

 

Try that.

I would like the array to loop itself while is_array() until it finds an array with a value of whatever the user entered whcih can be carried over by a $_POST['username'] Global. I think it would be done like

<?php
$array = '0';
while (is_array($xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN'][$array]['PLAYERNAME']['0']['VALUE'])){
if ($xml['FSHOST']['0']['FLIGHTPLANS']['0']['FLIGHTPLAN'][$array]['PLAYERNAME']['0']['VALUE'] = $_POST['username']){
echo 'Ya!';
else $array++;
}
}
?>

 

Thats something I just slapped together. It probably wont work though. My real concern is I do not know how to use While loops and I do not know how to stop a loop. Did I do it right?

...Why don't you try it...

 

and fyi, foreach loops arrays.

[teng84]

foreach($array as $val){
if(is_array($val)){
	foreach($value as $x ){
		// do some stuff here
		$cnt++;
		if(count($value == $cnt)){
			if (is_array($x)){
			$value = $x;
                                $cnt = 0;
			}
		}
	}
}
}

not tested but i think this kind of sysntax will work not i guess that is only applicable for single dimensional array
