Stopping a while command...

[ajdegans]

Ok this shouldnt be to hard, but i cant figure it out...

I wrote an array with 5 entries... but that array gets longer almost everyday i added 6 values in 2 days...

Also i have written a snippet to extraxt data from that array and place it in table cells. 3 in a row and so to eternity... Now with my site i simply cant have 6 or more of that array entries on one page since its are all videostreams so i want to split that up.

heres some code i wrote to achieve that but its not working properly yet.. (thats why im here)

one of the arrays:

<?php
$alltitle = array(
"SHRIKEÉ TV",
"Ravas Office",
"Zyferus",
"Raver4Life",
"Ravetrax STUDIO (with sound)",
"NAKI TV",
"Lazloe Studio",
"PonkoVision",
"THATguySHOW",
"Naxor Online",
"Berfy's modern life"
);
?>

the loop code:

<?php
    <td colspan="<?php echo $maxline_cam; ?>">
      Page: <a href="allstreams.php">1</a> <a href="allstreams.php?streampage=2">2</a>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
<?php 

$x=1; 
if($streampage=="") { $i=0; }
if($streampage=="2") { $i=6; }
//if($streampage=="3") { $i=12; }
while ($allstream[$i]){ 
  echo "
  <td class='stream_cam_all'>".$alltitle[$i]."
  <br><object width='280' height='200' classid='clsid:C5E28B9D-0A68-4B50-94E9-E8F6B4697517' border='1' 
  codebase='http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp3_aac.cab' id='nsvplayx'>
  <param name='Location' value='".$allstream[$i]."'>
  <embed width='280' height='200' type='application/x-nsv-vp3-mp3' 
  codebase='http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp3_aac.cab' 
  location='".$allstream[$i]."'></embed>
  </object></td>
  ";
if($streampage=="") { $i++; }  

  elseif($i==5) { exit; }  

if($streampage=="2") { $i++; }  

  elseif($i==11) { exit; }  

  if ( $x == $maxline_cam ) {  

  echo "</tr><tr>"; 
  $x=0; 
  } 
  $x++; 
} 
?>

Now the problem is in this piece:

<?php
if($streampage=="") { $i++; }  

  elseif($i==5) { exit; }  

if($streampage=="2") { $i++; }  

  elseif($i==11) { exit; }  

?>

Maybe this is very stupid code but hey please advise me something better then...
I have no idea how to solve this one (again)

So please if anyone knows a way 🙂 i would be very happy!

<?php 
if($streampage=="") { $i++; }   

  elseif($i==5) { exit; }   

if($streampage=="2") { $i++; }   

  elseif($i==11) { exit; }   

?> 

I looked at php.net some more for 'stop commands' and found break must stop a do while thingy so i replaced exit; with break;

no success 🙁😕

Hello ajdegans,

ok lets get to it, first thing we do is remove exit, we always use break for loops.."break ends execution of the current for, foreach while, do..while or switch structure", exit terminates the current script i.e it will kill the entire script whereas break terminates the loop control structure (have a look at www.php.net).

Here is your code I chopped up, have a look at the code commented out

$alltitle = array("SHRIKEÉ TV", "Ravas Office", "Zyferus", "Raver4Life", "Ravetrax STUDIO (with sound)", "NAKI TV", "Lazloe Studio", "PonkoVision", "THATguySHOW", "Naxor Online", "Berfy's modern life"); 

$streampage="";

$x=1;  

if($streampage=="") { 
  $i=0; 
} 
if($streampage=="2") { 
  $i=6; 
} 

$count = count($alltitle);
echo 'array count = '.$count.'<br>';
while ($alltitle[$i]) { //$allstream[$i]) {  

  echo 'array element = '.$i.' '.$alltitle[$i].'<BR>'; 
  if($streampage=="") { 
    $i++; 
  }   

  elseif($i==5) { 
    //exit;
	break; 
  }   

  if($streampage=="2") { 
    $i++;
    //This was the bit you needed, personally I would re-work your loop
    if($i == 11) {
      break;
    } 
  }   

  //This was never reached, think about it a minute, it was always  hitting your first if statement and never reaching the elseif so needed to be nested in the above if statement to have any effect at all
  //elseif($i==11) { 
    //exit;
 //}   

  /*I commented this out as I didnt know what it did
  if ( $x == $maxline_cam ) {   

    echo "</tr><tr>";  

    $x=0;  

  }  

  $x++; 
  */ 
}  

I hope this helps you a little, you need to do something with $streampage="", personally why dont you set it to streampage=0 and append it on your query string, also how is it getting the value? are you using it with GLOBALS on....if so you really need to set them to off and use the $POST or $GET arrays

if ( $x == $maxline_cam ) {    

    echo "</tr><tr>";   

    $x=0;   

  }   

  $x++; 

sets the maximum cells in a row... if it exceeds 3 it will go to a new row 🙂 and so on and so forth 😃

I will go and try your code now 🙂

[ajdegans]

hmmm no worky, it returns:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in C:\FoxServ\www\allstreams.php on line 129

but i cant find a $ that could cause this...

Also i noticed ive failed to give all the code and there for this is not right:

while ($alltitle[$i]) { //$allstream[$i]) {   

  echo 'array element = '.$i.' '.$alltitle[$i].'<BR>';  

Sorry :queasy:

Anyway.

I retry:

theres 2 arrays:

$alltitle = array(
"SHRIKEÉ TV",
"Ravas Office",
"Zyferus",
"Raver4Life",
"Ravetrax STUDIO (with sound)",
"NAKI TV",
"Lazloe Studio",
"PonkoVision",
"THATguySHOW",
"Naxor Online",
"Berfy's modern life"
);

$allstream = array(
"http://www.zerocom.ath.cx:8000/;stream.nsv", //SHRIKEE TV
"http://sirc.ravetrax.com:8617/;stream.nsv", //RAVAS OFFICE
"http://www.zyferus.com:8000/;stream.nsv", //ZYFERUS
"http://24.169.170.122:8015/;stream.nsv", //RAVER4LIFE
"http://rs3.ravetrax.com:8017/;video.nsv", //RAVETRAX STUDIO
"http://rs3.ravetrax.com:8634/;stream.nsv", //NAKI TV
"http://68.231.32.101:8040/;stream.nsv", //LAZLOE STUDIO
"http://cns1.yigabit.com:5674/;stream.nsv", //PONKOVISION
"http://24.31.103.95:8000/;stream.nsv", //THATGUYSHOW
"http://68.71.98.172:8000/;stream.nsv", //NAXOR
"http://67.170.111.160:8000/;stream.nsv" //BERFY'S MODERN LIFE
);

//also i included this line to set a maximum of cells in the generated table
$maxline_cam = "3";

That was the config part.

now the loop (this is the original and unedited):

$x=1; 
if($streampage=="") { $i=0; }
if($streampage=="2") { $i=6; }
//if($streampage=="3") { $i=12; }

while ($allstream[$i]){ 
  echo "
  <td class='stream_cam_all'>".$alltitle[$i]."
  <br><object width='280' height='200' classid='clsid:C5E28B9D-0A68-4B50-94E9-E8F6B4697517' border='1' 
  codebase='http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp3_aac.cab' id='nsvplayx'>
  <param name='Location' value='".$allstream[$i]."'>
  <embed width='280' height='200' type='application/x-nsv-vp3-mp3' 
  codebase='http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp3_aac.cab' 
  location='".$allstream[$i]."'></embed>
  </object></td>
  ";

if($streampage=="") { $i++; }  

  if($i==6) { break; }  

if($streampage=="2") { $i++; }  

  elseif($i==12) { break; }  

//sets the maximum cells on a row
  if ( $x == $maxline_cam ) {  

  echo "</tr><tr>"; 
  $x=0; 
  } 
  $x++; 
} 

and to call another page:

      Page: <a href="allstreams.php">1</a> <a href="allstreams.php?streampage=2">2</a>

And again my apolagies!!!

WHOA BiBadKev,

i closely overlooked your code 🙂)

and i solved my probs like this:

<?php 

$x=1; 
if($streampage=="") { $i=0; }
if($streampage=="2") { $i=6; }
//if($streampage=="3") { $i=12; }

while ($allstream[$i]){ 
  echo "
  <td class='stream_cam_all'>".$alltitle[$i]."
  <br><object width='280' height='200' classid='clsid:C5E28B9D-0A68-4B50-94E9-E8F6B4697517' border='1' 
  codebase='http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp3_aac.cab' id='nsvplayx'>
  <param name='Location' value='".$allstream[$i]."'>
  <embed width='280' height='200' type='application/x-nsv-vp3-mp3' 
  codebase='http://www.nullsoft.com/nsv/embed/nsvplayx_vp3_aac.cab' 
  location='".$allstream[$i]."'></embed>
  </object></td>
  ";

  if($streampage=="") {  

    $i++;  

    if($i==6) {  

    break;  

    }    

  }    

  if($streampage=="2") {  

    $i++; 
    if($i == 11) { 
      break; 
    }  

  }    

  if ( $x == $maxline_cam ) {  

  echo "</tr><tr>"; 
  $x=0; 
  } 
  $x++; 
} 
?>

You know the if statement:

  if($streampage=="2") {  

    $i++; 
    if($i == 11) { 
      break; 
    }  

  } 

was the only actual thing that needed to change 🙂
Heh Thanks for your time to look at my code!!!!! Really thanks 🙂

TY TY😃

glad i could help, have fun.
