[SOLVED] help w/ including in a function...

[tbare]

ok... here's the code:

 

ratings/ratings.php contains:

<?php
//declarations
$filez = preg_replace("/&#39;/", "'", $filez);
$title = preg_replace("/&#39;/", "'", $title);

$fullStar = "<img src='ratings/images/all_star_small.png'> ";
$halfStar = "<img src='ratings/images/half_star_small.png'> ";
$emptyStar = "<img src='ratings/images/no_star_small.png'> ";

$numbers = file('ratings/dat/' . $cat . '/' . $subcat . '/' . $filez . '.dat');
$count = "0";
$sum = "0";

//get average from votes
foreach ($numbers as $line) {
list ($ip, $vote) = explode(':', $line);
$count++;
$sum = $sum+$vote;
}

$avg = $sum/$count;
$avg = round($avg,2);


//break up avg into whole number and decimal
list($fullNum, $decimal) = explode (".", $avg);


if($decimal < 10){
  $decimal = $decimal*10;
}

//print stars
$i = "1";
while($i <= $fullNum){
  print "$fullStar";
  $i++;
}
if($decimal > 24 && $decimal <= 74){
  print "$halfStar";
  $i++;
}
while($i <= 10){
  print "$emptyStar";
  $i++;
}
print "<br />\n";
print "rating: $avg with $count votes<br>\n";
?>

 

and i'm trying to include this file:

 

<?php
$files = array(
//array defining video files, titles, and thumbs here
)

$cat = "video";
$subcat = "mac_ads";

function printLinkRow($file){
  global $cat;
  global $subcat;

  $file_path = "files/$cat/$subcat";
  $thumb_path = "$file_path/thumbs";
  $filez = $file['file'];
  $title = $file['title'];
  $thumb = $file['thumb'];
  $size = filesize("$file_path/$filez");
  include("text_files/filesize.php");

  list($thumb_width, $thumb_height) = getimagesize("$thumb_path/$thumb");
  if($thumb_width > 200){
   $difference = $thumb_width / 200;
   $thumb_width = $thumb_width / $difference;
   $thumb_height = $thumb_height / $difference;
  }

  include("text_files/video_info.php");
  $filez = preg_replace("/'/", "&#39;" , $filez);
  $title = preg_replace("/'/", "&#39;" , $title);
  $alt = $title;
  $message =  "<tr><td width='35%'>\n";
  $message .= "<a href='humor_video_play.php?file=$filez&title=$title&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat'>\n<img border='0' src='$thumb_path/$thumb' width='$thumb_width' height='$thumb_height' alt='$alt'></a></td>\n";
  $message .= "<td><a href='humor_video_play.php?file=$filez&title=$title&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat'>$title</a><br>\n";
  $message .= "<a href='$file_path/$filez'>download file</a> | file size: ";
  $message .= "$size<br>\n";
  $message .= "duration : ";
  $message .= "$duration<br>\n";
  $message .= include('ratings/ratings.php');
  $message .= "</td></tr>\n";
  return($message);
}

 

attached are 2 images.. one fubar, one not-fubar... with the above code, i get 'fubar' results, and looking for 'not-fubar' results... any ideas on how to get it not-fubar?

figured it out...

 

changed:

<?php
  $message =  "<tr><td width='35%'>\n";
  $message .= "<a href='humor_video_play.php?file=$filez&title=$title&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat'>\n<img border='0' src='$thumb_path/$thumb' width='$thumb_width' height='$thumb_height' alt='$alt'></a></td>\n";
  $message .= "<td><a href='humor_video_play.php?file=$filez&title=$title&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat'>$title</a><br>\n";
  $message .= "<a href='$file_path/$filez'>download file</a> | file size: ";
  $message .= "$size<br>\n";
  $message .= "duration : ";
  $message .= "$duration<br>\n";
  $message .= include('ratings/ratings.php');
  $message .= "</td></tr>\n";
?>

 

to:

<?php
  $message =  "<tr><td width='35%'>\n";
  $message .= "<a href='humor_video_play.php?file=$filez&title=$title&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat'>\n<img border='0' src='$thumb_path/$thumb' width='$thumb_width' height='$thumb_height' alt='$alt'></a></td>\n";
  $message .= "<td><a href='humor_video_play.php?file=$filez&title=$title&cat=$cat&subcat=$subcat'>$title</a><br>\n";
  $message .= "<a href='$file_path/$filez'>download file</a> | file size: ";
  $message .= "$size<br>\n";
  $message .= "duration : ";
  $message .= "$duration<br>\n";
   include('ratings/ratings.php');
  $message .= "$ratings\n";
  $message .= "</td></tr>\n";
?>

 

and in ratings.php, changed:

<?php
//print stars
$i = "1";
while($i <= $fullNum){
  print "$fullStar";
  $i++;
}
if($decimal > 24 && $decimal <= 74){
  print "$halfStar";
  $i++;
}
while($i <= 10){
  print "$emptyStar";
  $i++;
}
print "<br />\n";
print "rating: $avg with $count votes<br>\n";
?>

 

to:

<?php
$ratings = "";

//print stars
$i = "1";
while($i <= $fullNum){
$ratings .= "$fullStar";
$i++;
}
if($decimal > 24 && $decimal <= 74){
$ratings .= "$halfStar";
$i++;
}
while($i <= 10){
$ratings .= "$emptyStar";
$i++;
}
$ratings .= "<br />\n";
$ratings .= "rating: $avg with $count votes<br>\n";
?>
