output arrays

[BM]

Small annoyance with arrays here.  Been hacking at it since 9am this morning and only managed to get half way through (not through want of trying & failing  :( ).  Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

Here's the PHP code I have to get my data into the array structure I think is required;

Code: [Select]


if$arrCategories = $db-get_resultsSELECT id, strCategoryName FROM tbl_categories WHERE intFlag = 1 ORDER BY intOrder ASC;

$intJSCount = 1; //required for something else

$arrDynMenu = array;

foreach$arrCategories as $category

  array_push$arrDynMenu$category-strCategoryName = array;

  if$arrSubCategories = $db-get_resultsSELECT id, strSubCategoryName FROM tbl_subcategories WHERE intFlag = 1 AND intMenuID = .$category-id. ORDER BY intOrder ASC;

   foreach$arrSubCategories as $subcategory

    array_push$arrDynMenu$category-strCategoryName,  array'id'=$subcategory-id,'strSubCategory'=$subcategory-strSubCategoryName;

  

  

  $intJSCount++;







I'm using ez_sql so ignore the SQL statements - they do what I want.
Here's the array output of "$arrDynMenu";

Code: [Select]


Array



    Jackets = Array

        

            0 = Array

                

                    id = 4

                    strSubCategory = PC

                



            1 = Array

                

                    id = 5

                    strSubCategory = Argyle

                



            2 = Array

                

                    id = 6

                    strSubCategory = Baru

                



        



    Kilts = Array

        

            0 = Array

                

                    id = 1

                    strSubCategory = Long

                



            1 = Array

                

                    id = 3

                    strSubCategory = Short

                



            2 = Array

                

                    id = 2

                    strSubCategory = Medium

                



        







What I'm trying to get to is having the vLibTemplate coding within the HTML page displaying it similar to this;

Jackets
 4  PC
 5  Argyle
 6  Baru

Kilts
1  Long
2  Short
3  Medium


I tried to hack about with the loops code in the examples, but since there's an extra array in my effort, I failed  :o


Any help is much appreciated & thanks in advance.

1 Array more and then it works...

Code: [Select]

Array



   b0=Array cat= 'Jackets',

                subcat = Array

        

            0 = Array

                

                    id = 4

                    strSubCategory = PC

                

In the Template_

Code: [Select]

tmpl_loop menu

  tmpl_var cat

  tmpl_loop subcat

    tmpl_var id tmpl_var strSubCategory

  /tmpl_loop

/tmpl_loop

[releasedj]

Try this:

Code: [Select]


if$arrCategories = $db-get_resultsSELECT id, strCategoryName FROM tbl_categories WHERE intFlag = 1 ORDER BY intOrder ASC;

   $intJSCount = 1; //required for something else

   $arrDynMenu = array;

   $i=0;

   foreach$arrCategories as $category

      $arrDynMenu$i = array'category' = $category-strCategoryName, 'subCategory' = array ;

      if$arrSubCategories = $db-get_resultsSELECT id, strSubCategoryName FROM tbl_subcategories WHERE intFlag = 1 AND intMenuID = .$category-id. ORDER BY intOrder ASC;

         foreach$arrSubCategories as $subcategory

            array_push$arrDynMenu$i'subCategory',  array'id'=$subcategory-id,'strSubCategory'=$subcategory-strSubCategoryName;

        

      

      $intJSCount++;

      $i++;

  





Take a closer look at the TMPL_LOOP documentation @ /docs/multihtml/..._tmpl_loop.html
About halfway down you'll notice an example with an inner loop.

Thanks guys.

Of course the array is in the correct format,  but for some odd reason (my doing most probably) I just can't get it to output to the html template and it's driving me crazy.  Spent a day and a half on this so far  :x  

This code is wrong,  but can any of you guys who are more proficient with vLib and multiple arrays tell me where it is wrong please.  

Code: [Select]


$ii=0;

$categoriesLoop = array;

foreach$arrDynMenu as $alldetails = $catdetails

$innerLoop = array;

foreach$catdetails as $pish=$catname

   array_push$innerLoop, array'id'=$catdetailssubCategory$ii'id','subcatname'=$catdetailssubCategory$ii'strSubCategory';

   $ii++;



array_push$categoriesLoop, array'catname'=$catname,'innerLoop'=$innerLoop;





I read the docs before and after your post Kelvin, but as much as they make sense,  I suspect I'm lacking an understanding of the structure the array should be in for vLib.  

TIA again.

Try this. It uses the loop functions that enable you to build a loop more intuitively.

Code: [Select]


if$arrCategories = $db-get_resultsSELECT id, strCategoryName FROM tbl_categories WHERE intFlag = 1 ORDER BY intOrder ASC;



   $tmpl-newLoop'loop_name';

   foreach$arrCategories as $category

  

      $inner_loop = array;

      if$arrSubCategories = $db-get_resultsSELECT id, strSubCategoryName FROM tbl_subcategories WHERE intFlag = 1 AND intMenuID = .$category-id. ORDER BY intOrder ASC;

      

         foreach$arrSubCategories as $subcategory

        

            array_push$inner_loop,  array'id'=$subcategory-id,'strSubCategory'=$subcategory-strSubCategoryName;

        

      

      $tmpl-addRow array'category' = $category-strCategoryName, 'inner_loop' = $inner_loop, 'loop_name';

  

   $tmpl-addLoop'loop_name';





I hope this helps. If not I'll try to do something a little more detailed.

Thanks v. much Kelvin.  The above code worked a treat and has helped me understand arrays in vLib much better.    

Hope I'm not here for a while  :)

Thanks again

No problem. Glad to have been of help.
