Array of values?

[Schlo_50]

Hey guys,

 

I am pulling information from a text file, which i then want to display on

my webpage in a row. I want to label each value as a number one to five

and then loop around again. So for example:

 

1.'value' 2.'value'3.'value' 4.'value'5.'value' 1.'value' 2.'value' 3.'value'

 

I can get the values from the text file fine and display

them on a page but i cannot figure out how to count the values and

make sure the first is '1.' and second is '2.' etc. Maybe i need some kind of array? asort?

 

 

This is how i am getting the files:

$lines = file("file.txt");
  foreach ($lines as $line) { 
$data[$key] = explode("|", $line);


	$value = trim($data[$key][1]);

$a = "1.";
$b = "2.";
$c = "3.";
$d = "4.";
$e = "5.";




print $catname;

 

Any help would be great, however if you need more questions do feel free to ask!

Thanks

How are the values stored in your text file?  I can see an explode on | but it would help us out   Just there could be one per line, or all on one line etc.

Something like this:

<?php
$lines = file("file.txt");

$no = 1;

foreach ($lines as $line) {

    $data[$key] = explode("|", $line);

    $value =  $no . ". " . trim($data[$key][1]);

    print $value;

    $no = ($no==5) ? 1 : $no+1 ;

}

?>

One per line.

Thanks mjdamato,

 

Could I sub this variable '$no = 1;' for anything i liked?

 

Say the word One for example?

You can do whatever you want with it. Of course if you are wantingthe textual values of 'one, two, three, four' you will need to add some more functionality to transpose the numbers to their textual representations.
