print string , help

[Anon]

Hi,

I have a for loop in which a variable $privid reads and stores the content from a xmlfile in the form of a string.. the string has 5 different values...

I want to call this variable $privid outside the loop like this...

for($y_au=0; $y_au<sizeof($priv); $y_au++)
{
$this->privid = $childNodes[$y]->content ;

print $this->privid; // here the variale privid stores and prints all the 5 values as a string.. }
function id() {

print $this->privid; // here only the last value of in the string is being printed ..WHY??? and how can I resolve this??

return $this->privid; // RETURNS ONLY THE LAST VALUE IN THE STRING.. Why??

}

Thanks in adv.🙂

p.S: I tried using an array within the for loop but makes no diff..

It\'s printing each of the five values inside the loop, one value each time it loops (not all five together). When you leave the loop the variable only contains the last thing you assigned to it (the fifth value).

Try:

$this->privid = $this->privid . $childNodes[$y]->content ;

or:

$this->privid .= $childNodes[$y]->content ;
