[Resolved] Problem with loop

[ph3n0m]

hi, posting this on behalf of a friend (since I cant figure it out)

he has got a for loop which outputs gif's on the page.
However he wants to add alt text to each of these gif's
The alt text's are defined as here:
DEFINE("_HEB_1", "oNE");

here is the loop

<?php 
$pieces = explode(",", $rows->params); 
for($i=0;$i < count($pieces);$i++){ 
?> 
<img src="components/com_heb/images/<?php echo $pieces[$i];?>.gif" alt="<?php echo _HEB_ $i;?>"> 
<?php 
} 
?> 

however the alt text he gets is actually HEB_0 , HEB_1 etc as opposed to oNE etc etc

can anyone help?

I dont think that variable constants make much sense, even if they were possible in PHP.
Instead of misusing define() like that, your friend should use an array.

<?php
$heb = array('zero', 'one', 'two');

$pieces = explode(",", $rows->params);
$size = count($pieces);
for ($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++) {
	echo '<img src="components/com_heb/images/'
		. $pieces[$i] . '.gif" alt="'
		. $heb[$i] . '">';
?>
