I am parsing and returning results from an xml doc and calling it ($name)
Ultimately I want to return all properties A-Z and print out a header for each.
I also need to start a new row every 4 records returned!
Similar to this: http://www.topsail-realty.com/pages/alp ... _list.html
I tried using Xpath on an xsl stylesheet but not being able to reassign variables stumped me.
I would prefer to do it in php anyways.
Below is one poor method I came up with. It works but is not very resourceful. I am sure there is a better way to do this, than to repeat If statement for each letter. I have been paging through google for days, Just need a little direction!
Code: Select all
$drawheader= "open";
foreach ($prop as $name) {
$header= substr($name, 0,1);
if ($header == "A") {
if ($drawheader == "open"){
$drawheader= "close";
echo "<tr class='tdcolorhead'><td colspan='4'>$header</td><tr>";
}/* Close if drawheader*/
$countbreak++ ;
if ($countbreak == "4"){
echo "</tr><tr>";
$countbreak = "0";}/* Close if count break*/
echo "<td><a href='http://secure.instantsoftwareonline.com/stayUSA/Property.aspx?coid=0008&propid=$propid'>$name</a> </td>";
}/* Close if header*/
}/* Close loop*/If you think this would be the only efficient way, please let me know.
Any help would be appreciated!
thanks, Nick
