Link Array

[ShoeLace1291]

I have two arrays, the first builds the references and names of the links, the second builds the html for the links.  I do this because I want to use implode to display a bullet in between them.  This is my code:

 

if($result['accnt_found']){

		$link = array(
			  		  'link1href' => "index.php",
					  'link1name' => '', $board['name'], ' Home',
					  'link2href' => "logout.php",
					  'link2name' => "Logout",
					  'link3href' => "profile.php",
					  'link3name' => "My Profile",
					  'link4href' => "members.php",
					  'link4name' => "Members",
					  'link5href' => "events.php",
					  'link5name' => "index.php?act=events",
					  'link6href' => "index.php?act=help",
					  'link6name' => "Help"
					  );
					  
			$buttons = array(
					  		'link1' => '<a href="', $link['link1href'], '" name="', $link['link1name'], '">Index</a>',
							'link2' => '<a href="', $link['link2href'], '" name="', $link['link2name'], '">Logout</a>',
							'link3' => '<a href="', $link['link3href'], '" name="', $link['link3name'], '">Profile</a>',
							'link4' => '<a href="', $link['link4href'], '" name="', $link['link4name'], '">Members</a>',
							'link5' => '<a href="', $link['link5href'], '" name="', $link['link5name'], '">Events</a>',
							'link6' => '<a href="', $link['link6href'], '" name="', $link['link6name'], '">Help</a>'
							);

	echo '
		  ', implode('  &#8226  ', $buttons) ,' ';

 

It doesn't display anything.

i suspect it's because you've got a syntax error in there somewhere.  have you tried print_r()ing the arrays right after defining them to see if they are even made?

curious to know  about this ...is it a single string or array of string 'link1name'???

 

'link1name' => '', $board['name'], ' Home',

'link1' => '<a href="', $link['link1href'], '" name="', $link['link1name'], '">Index</a>',

in code like the above, you seem to be using a ',' when you should be using a '.' (concatenation operator)

That didn't help, mainewoods.  I added print_r($button['link1']); after the $button array is defined, but still nothing is displayed.

my code above shows syntax errors. it may not be the only syntax errors.  when php has syntax errors, it never executes because it fails at interpretation.  you need to turn syntax errors on.
