Try this

PHP Code:


			
$compiled_header_template = str_replace(array('\\\\$', '\\\''), array('\\$', '\''), addslashes($templates['header']));

Haven't thought of using ' for tag arguments, as I always use "

This is the header template that doesnt even call upon any arrays. I have it after all the php code at the bottom of the page right before the last } ?> and even this one will not cooperate

Your problem is bad html... nothing more

in HTML all attribute varibles should be nested inside of DOUBLE quotes, not SINGLE

HTML Code:

 <body bgcolor="#ffffff" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" bottommargin="0" rightmargin="0"> 
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="maintable" width="650" align="center"> 
<tr> 
<td>LOGO GOES HERE</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td background="images/navbg.jpg" height="20">LINKS</td> 
</tr> 
<tr> 
<td>

Hmmm I figured if I used " then php could get an error... guess not. My last question is now for my news I want to display a loop statement, which I use a while. Now I know this won't work correctly because I'm using a mysql_fetch_array query inside a while statement and it is going to loop the number of times I have an entree in the db. So how exactly could I take a while statement that is going to loop and actually store the information in the template so it shows each and every loop, such as $news[news_name] should loop 8 times and thus loops 8 times in the template and shoes each array being different then the last?

Andreas · #14 01-22-2005, 04:02 PM

I've read this 3 times now and still don't understand your problem

if you're echoing out the data then you need to escape each backslash or just go back to using apostraphies, however if it's a template then theirs no issues

your best bet would be to write out the code (or what you think the code would look like for what you're trying to acheive) and post it, then i'd have a better idea of what you mean.

TheMayhem · #16 01-22-2005, 04:25 PM

LoL sorry, I know you'll understand it this way.

PHP Code:


			
$news_query = mysql_query("select * from news ORDER BY `categorys_order` ASC");

    while ($news_show= mysql_fetch_array($news_query)) {

// echo "$news_show[news_name];

}

Just a simple while statement. Now I can't just store it in the templates and call upon $news_show[news_name] because it won't display since this thing is going to loop several times. So how could I get it in the templates to show the results of each loop?

Andreas · #17 01-22-2005, 04:34 PM

I don't understand what you want, but I guess you want this:

PHP Code:


			
eval('$news .= "' . $compiled_news_template . '";');

TheMayhem · #18 01-22-2005, 04:40 PM

Nah I don't think your following me. You have a while { }. Let's say it loops 5 times and the following pieces of data it is going to pull from the same table in the database becaused you used a get array query.
John
Joe
Jerry
James
Judy

It retrieves 5 names. And in order to retrieve those 5 names all I had to type inside the while brackets were something like $news[display_names]. That is it.

Well on the template how could I get it so that it displays all 5 loops so each name is displayed because I can't write the php statement inside the template, nor can I output the echo statement inside the while loop. I know vBulletin does this when it wants to ouput like each forum's description, name, and so forth on their forumhome but vb uses a lot more coding that is far too advanced and complex for my simple brain. Any ideas?

Andreas · #19 01-22-2005, 04:49 PM

So in simple words:
You want the news_name values from all rows in the table in one string?

Before the while:

PHP Code:


			
$newsnames = array();

In the wile:

PHP Code:


			
$newsnames[] = $news_show['news_name'];

After the while

PHP Code:


			
$newsnames = implode(' ', $newsnames);

TheMayhem · #20 01-22-2005, 05:33 PM

The implode function works... but not exactly as needed. I'm trying to retrieve 3 specific bits of information. news_name, news_id, news_description. When i use the implode function I can only assign one variable and have it implode one bit of information. To make it easier to understand this is what I want it to look like when complete for the output.

<tr>
<td>$news_name</td><td>$news_id</td><td>$news_description</td>
</tr>

So it'd display the following bits of info on the output
Joe 1 This is my piece of writing
John 2 I don't like writing
Jerry 3 Wow I can't believe I did this
Jose 4 WEEEE!

Currently it'll display
JoeJohnjerryJose 1234 ect.

Basically I want to use a little simple html to seperate everything a bit and for me to only have to call upon a few variables in my templates in order to complete this process.

With the implode function I can't necessarily do that because if I call upon something like $news_name it will loop all the $news_names that I have selected. And thus on the output will look horribly ugly. Is there any function i can use so I could like insert this html and it'd select those 3... then loop again and keep looping like the implode function did until the while statement is over?
