need to convert from asp to php

Post by bruceg »

please assist me in converting this from asp to php

the asp:

<%
dim a(30)
a(1)="Anna"
a(2)="Brittany"
a(3)="Cinderella"
a(4)="Diana"
a(5)="Eva"
a(6)="Fiona"
a(7)="Gunda"
a(8)="Hege"
a(9)="Inga"
a(10)="Johanna"
a(11)="Kitty"
a(12)="Linda"
a(13)="Nina"
a(14)="Ophelia"
a(15)="Petunia"
a(16)="Amanda"
a(17)="Raquel"
a(18)="Cindy"
a(19)="Doris"
a(20)="Eve"
a(21)="Evita"
a(22)="Sunniva"
a(23)="Tove"
a(24)="Unni"
a(25)="Violet"
a(26)="Liza"
a(27)="Elizabeth"
a(28)="Ellen"
a(29)="Wenche"
a(30)="Vicky"

q=ucase(request.querystring("q"))

if len(q)>0 then
hint=""
for i=1 to 30
if q=ucase(mid(a(i),1,len(q))) then
if hint="" then
hint=a(i)
else
hint=hint & " , " & a(i)
end if
end if
next
end if

if hint="" then
response.write("no suggestion")
else
response.write(hint)
end if
%>

the php:

Code: Select all

<?php
dim a(30)
a(1)="Anna"
a(2)="Brittany"
a(3)="Cinderella"
a(4)="Diana"
a(5)="Eva"
a(6)="Fiona"
a(7)="Gunda"
a(8)="Hege"
a(9)="Inga"
a(10)="Johanna"
a(11)="Kitty"
a(12)="Linda"
a(13)="Nina"
a(14)="Ophelia"
a(15)="Petunia"
a(16)="Amanda"
a(17)="Raquel"
a(18)="Cindy"
a(19)="Doris"
a(20)="Eve"
a(21)="Evita"
a(22)="Sunniva"
a(23)="Tove"
a(24)="Unni"
a(25)="Violet"
a(26)="Liza"
a(27)="Elizabeth"
a(28)="Ellen"
a(29)="Wenche"
a(30)="Vicky"

q=ucase(request.querystring("q"));

if len(q)>0 then;
  hint=""
  for i=1 to 30;
    if q=ucase(mid(a(i),1,len(q))) then;
      if hint="" then;
        hint=a(i);
      else;
        hint=hint & " , " & a(i);
      end if;
    end if;
  next;
end if ;

if hint="" then 
  print("no suggestion");
else
  print(hint);
end if;
?>
I am probably way off which is why I need assistance :-)

I converted bit & peices for you. You'll want to read the manual concerning if and for loops. You can download it from my signature.

Code: Select all

<?php
$a = array();
$a[1] = "Anna"; // and so on
a(2)="Brittany"
a(3)="Cinderella"
a(4)="Diana"
a(5)="Eva"
a(6)="Fiona"
a(7)="Gunda"
a(8)="Hege"
a(9)="Inga"
a(10)="Johanna"
a(11)="Kitty"
a(12)="Linda"
a(13)="Nina"
a(14)="Ophelia"
a(15)="Petunia"
a(16)="Amanda"
a(17)="Raquel"
a(18)="Cindy"
a(19)="Doris"
a(20)="Eve"
a(21)="Evita"
a(22)="Sunniva"
a(23)="Tove"
a(24)="Unni"
a(25)="Violet"
a(26)="Liza"
a(27)="Elizabeth"
a(28)="Ellen"
a(29)="Wenche"
a(30)="Vicky"

//q=ucase(request.querystring("q"));
$q = strtoupper($_GET['q']);

if (strlen($q) > 0)
  $hint=""
  for i=1 to 30;
    if q=ucase(mid(a(i),1,len(q))) then;
      if hint="" then;
        hint=a(i);
      else;
        hint=hint & " , " & a(i);
      end if;
    end if;
  next;
end if ;

if hint="" then
  print("no suggestion");
else
  print(hint);
end if;
?>
