Insert html tags into an array

[MannyLS]

Hi,

I'm working on a function that will format a text file and output an html table.
I learned how to remove white spaces and unwanted lines. I also found how to remove elements in an array.
I come out with something like this:

periods:123456789
points:2063745839121249555641965

I would like to create a table and separate the characters in cells:

<tr><td>periods:</td><td>1</td><td>2</td> etc.</tr>
<tr><td>points:</td><td>206</td><td>374</td> etc. </tr>

How I do that? 😕

I'm not quite sure I understand, but if periods and points are arrays, why don't you just do this:

echo "<tr><td>Periods</td>";

foreach ($periods as $element)
   {
   echo "<td>$element</td>";
   }

echo "</tr>";

You can use similar logic for points.

It's generally easier to work from an array of items than from a long string. If you must do it this way, here is a snippet of code to accomplish exactly what you describe:

	$periods = "123456789";
	$points = "2063745839121249555641965";

echo "<tr><td>periods:</td>";
$l = strlen($periods);
for($j=0; $j < $l; $j++) {
	echo "<td>{$periods[$j]}</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";

echo "<tr><td>points:</td>";
$l = strlen($points);
for($j=0; $j < $l; $j+=3) {
	$p = substr($points, $j, 3);
	echo "<td>$p</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";

Maybe this will explain better what I'm looking for:

<?php

$fp = @fopen("score.data", "r") or die("Couldn't open file");
$data = fread($fp, filesize($fp));


while(!feof($fp))
{
$data .= fgets($fp, 1024);
}

fclose($fp);

$values = explode("\r\n", $data);
//remove unwanted lines
$data = trim($values[4]);
$data = trim($values[9]);
$data = trim($values[10]);
$data = trim($values[11]);
$data = trim($values[12]);
$data = trim($values[13]);
//remove sections on some strings
$values[26] = substr_replace($values[26], '', 0, 9) . "\n"; 
$values[26] = substr_replace($values[26], '', 28, 1) . "\n";
$values[5] = substr_replace($values[5], '', -4, -1) . "\n"; 
$values[5] = substr_replace($values[5], '', -3, -1) . "\n"; 
$values[8] = substr_replace($values[8], '', 0, 8) . "\n"; 
$values[7] = substr_replace($values[7], '', 0, 8) . "\n"; 

//output text

echo " " . $values[0] . " " . $values[1] . "<br>";
echo " " . $values[2] . "<br>";
echo " " . $values[5] . " " . $values[26] . "<br>";
echo " " . $values[7] . "<br>";
echo " " . $values[8] . "<br>";
echo " " . $values[15] . " " . $values[36] . "<br>";



?> 

This is what I get:

instead of posting your source, post the data file and what you expect to get out of it.

I messed around with this for a few minutes but I don't think you'll ever have a script that will do this and be solid. I suggest you move the data into a database, this will give you so much more controll over the output, especially if these statistics are going to be changing.

At any rate, here's some code that I threw together which comes close to what you want. I don't know where to pull the scores or status from, so this table only produces Hole, Par, and Handicap:

$file = "doc.txt";

$contents = file($file);

echo "<table border=\"1\">";
foreach ($contents as $line)
   {
   $words = preg_split("/\t|,| /", $line);

   // Notice how fragile this is.  If the second element of $words ceases to be either "Hole", "Par", or "Handicap" this script will break.
   if (($words[1] == "Hole") || ($words[1] == "Par") || ($words[1] == "Handicap"))
      {
      echo "<tr>";
      foreach ($words as $word)
         {
         if (($word != "") && ($word != "Mul") && ($word != "Gim"))
            {
            echo "<td>$word</td>";
            }
         }
      echo "</tr>";
      }
   }
echo "</table>";

Thanks remnant. I do have an error with your script: "Undefined offset: 1 on line 23" The table shows at the bottom of the screen though. Sorry for my ignorance.

I would find this much easier to do if I could convert the text in cvs format.

Hmm, I don't know about that error. If you posted lines 21-25 I might be able to help you with that, but I'm not sure.

Did you mean CSV format? If you open the file in Excel, you can save it as a CSV but I'm not too sure this will help much.
