hi, i'm working on a template system. Basically i'm building raw contents in arrays and then put them in templates by some special tags.
for loop systems my basic array structure is like this: $array['key'][]['keyword'] = ... for example, for a bulletin board system, array structure for categories is something like this: $array['categories'][]['text_category_name'] = ... it is looped through database recordset, so final array for 2 categories can be: $array['categories'][0]['text_category_name'] = 'programming' $array['categories'][1]['text_category_name'] = 'life' template file structure for loops is something like this (ex, categories): <!-- loop|categories:bof --> <tr> <td>[$text_category_name$]</td> </tr> <!-- loop|categories:eof --> i can easily loop this template and replace [$text_category_name] for every category set in the array. after removing the comment tags i get the final content: <tr> <td>programming</td> </tr> <tr> <td>life</td> </tr> But i'm stuck with nested loops. For example i want to put related forums after each categories. array structure is: $array['categories'][0]['text_category_name'] = programming $array['categories'][0]['forums'][0]['text_forum_name'] = php $array['categories'][0]['forums'][1]['text_forum_name'] = ruby $array['categories'][1]['text_category_name'] = life $array['categories'][1]['forums'][0]['text_forum_name'] = music $array['categories'][1]['forums'][1]['text_forum_name'] = sports template structure is: <!-- loop|categories:bof --> <tr> <td>[$text_category_name$]</td> </tr> <!-- loop|forums:bof --> <tr> <td>[$text_forum_name$]</td> </tr> <!-- loop|forums:eof --> <!-- loop|categories:eof --> i've written some functions, used them recursively but it didn't work. actually i couldn't find the true logic. note that it isn't a limited array. it can have messages under each forums, peoples under each messages, so on.. help me find the true approach to handle this. thank you. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
