Creating a loop to load an array
Development and Programming
OK, I am totally stumped. I’ve created 2 arrays with entry information. Now I am trying to create some type of loop that is an array, which has nested array information. I really don’t know what to do.
Maybe one of you more experienced PHP programmers can lend me some insight?
Here is what I have so far…
<?php $ms_title_array = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_start_date = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_id = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_url_array = array(); ?>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="projects" entry_id="1210" }
{reverse_related_entries weblog="milestones" status="open|pending|closed|complete|Complete|Pending"}
<?php $ms_title_array[] = "{title}"; ?>
<?php $ms_start_date[] = "{ms_start_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}"; ?>
<?php $ms_id[] = "{entry_id}"; ?>
{/reverse_related_entries}
<?php $ms_url_array[] = "{path=projects/milestones}{entry_id}"; ?>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
<?php
echo json_encode(array(
array(
'id' => "$ms_id[0]",
'title' => "$ms_title_array[0]",
'start' => "$ms_start_date[0]",
'url' => "$ms_url_array[0]",
)
));
?>I can get this to spit out a single array value no problem, but I’m stumped as to how I can automate populating that second array.
Should I separate the json_encode function and do that at a later point?
Many thanks,
OK, I’m digging into this hardcore and I got to this,
<?php $ms_title_array = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_start_date = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_id = array(); ?>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="projects" entry_id="1210" }
{reverse_related_entries weblog="milestones" status="open|pending|closed|complete|Complete|Pending"}
<?php $ms_title_array[] = "{title}"; ?>
<?php $ms_start_date[] = "{ms_start_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}"; ?>
<?php $ms_id[] = "{entry_id}"; ?>
{/reverse_related_entries}
<?php $ms_url = "{path=projects/milestones}{entry_id}"; ?>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
<?php
$array_size = sizeof($ms_id);
$i = 0;
while ($i < $array_size) {
$event = array(array(
'id' => "$ms_id[$i]",
'title' => "$ms_title_array[$i]",
'start' => "$ms_start_date[$i]",
'url' => "$ms_url",
),);
$i++;
echo json_encode($event);
}
?>Which outputs below
[{"id":"1231","title":"Milestone 2","start":"2010-09-27","url":"http://example.com/index.php/projects\/milestones/1210"}]
[{"id":"1232","title":"past due milestone","start":"2010-09-13","url":"http://example.com/index.php/projects\/milestones/1210"}]
[{"id":"1230","title":"test milestone","start":"2010-09-20","url":"http://example.com/index.php/projects\/milestones/1210"}]BUT, what I need, is to have each one of the events in the curly braces, be in a single echoed JSON format, separated by commas.
so What I am trying to accomplish is this
[{"id":"1231","title":"Milestone 2","start":"2010-09-27","url":"http://example.com/index.php/projects\/milestones/1210"},
{"id":"1232","title":"past due milestone","start":"2010-09-13","url":"http://example.com/index.php/projects\/milestones/1210"},
{"id":"1230","title":"test milestone","start":"2010-09-20","url":"http://example.com/index.php/projects\/milestones/1210"}]Does anyone know if this is possible? I think I am very close, but I’m not sure where to go… 😕
Got it! Guess I just needed to message myself 😛
Here is the code in case someone is trying to do something similar to me. Everyone else on here is always so helpful. The least I can do is share the little bit of experience I have 😊
<?php $ms_title_array = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_start_date = array(); ?>
<?php $ms_id = array(); ?>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="projects" entry_id="1210" }
{reverse_related_entries weblog="milestones" status="open|pending|closed|complete|Complete|Pending"}
<?php $ms_title_array[] = "{title}"; ?>
<?php $ms_start_date[] = "{ms_start_date format="%Y-%m-%d"}"; ?>
<?php $ms_id[] = "{entry_id}"; ?>
{/reverse_related_entries}
<?php $ms_url = "{path=projects/milestones}{entry_id}"; ?>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
<?php
$array_size = sizeof($ms_id);
$i = 0;
$event = array();
while ($i < $array_size) {
$event[] =
array(
'id' => "$ms_id[$i]",
'title' => "$ms_title_array[$i]",
'start' => "$ms_start_date[$i]",
'url' => "$ms_url",
);
$i++;
}
echo json_encode($event);
?>
