[RESOLVED] IF content --> IF picture --> Display Picture

[lavashark_com]

Currently my code is:

if (!empty($picresult)){
  	while ( list($key,$val)=each($picresult) ) {
     		$pictitle = stripslashes($val["pictitle"]);
       		$picture = stripslashes($val["picture"]);
print 
"<tr><td align=\"center\"><img src=\"$picturepath$picture\" alt=\"$pictitle\" align=\"right\"><br>$pictitle<br></td></tr>";
          }
        }

if (!empty($content)){
$content = nl2br($content);
print 
"<tr><td>$content</td></tr>";
        }

Which is:
IF picture, display picture.
IF content, display content.

I'm trying to mod it to say:
IF content,
IF picture, display picture
display content

I didn't think it would be too hard, but it's giving me a hard time.
Any ideas?

Thanks.

It should be as simeple as moving one line:

if (!empty($content)){
  if (!empty($picresult)){
    while ( list($key,$val)=each($picresult) ) {
      $pictitle = stripslashes($val["pictitle"]);
      $picture = stripslashes($val["picture"]);
      print "<tr>
        <td align=\"center\">
          <img src=\"$picturepath$picture\" alt=\"$pictitle\" align=\"right\"><br>$pictitle<br>
        </td></tr>";
    }
  }
  $content = nl2br($content);
  print "<tr><td>$content</td></tr>";
}

yeah corey that seemed to work great. thanks.
I'm trying to put them in the same row but it doesnt seem to be working.
Any idea why the following code doesnt work?

  if (!empty($content)){
  if (!empty($picresult)){
    while ( list($key,$val)=each($picresult) ) {
      $pictitle = stripslashes($val["pictitle"]);
      $picture = stripslashes($val["picture"]);
	  $content = nl2br($content);
      print "<tr>
        <td align=\"left\">
          <img src=\"$picturepath$picture\" alt=\"$pictitle\" align=\"right\" style=\"margin: 15px 15px 15px 0px;\"><br>$pictitle<br>$content
        </td></tr>";

(originally taken from)

      if (!empty($content)){
  if (!empty($picresult)){
    while ( list($key,$val)=each($picresult) ) {
      $pictitle = stripslashes($val["pictitle"]);
      $picture = stripslashes($val["picture"]);
      print "<tr>
        <td align=\"left\">
          <img src=\"$picturepath$picture\" alt=\"$pictitle\" align=\"right\" style=\"margin: 15px 15px 15px 0px;\"><br>$pictitle<br>
        </td></tr>";
    }
  }
  $content = nl2br($content);
  print "<tr><td>$content</td></tr>";
}  

I also tried simply removing the <tr> and <td> tags to put it in the same row, but then it moveis the current row above the $intro row.

[coreyp_1]

can you include the code for the intro row, as well as a short example of how you want the table to look?

I won't be able to look at this until tonight.

[lavashark_com]

Sure.

Heres the whole pull from the database:

 <?php
          if (!empty($intro)){
          	print "<tr> 
               <td><em>$intro</em></td>
              </tr>";
          }

     if (!empty($content)){
  if (!empty($picresult)){

while ( list($key,$val)=each($picresult) ) {
  $pictitle = stripslashes($val["pictitle"]);
  $picture = stripslashes($val["picture"]);

  print "<tr>
    <td align=\"left\">
      <img src=\"$picturepath$picture\" alt=\"$pictitle\" align=\"right\" style=\"margin: 15px 15px 15px 0px;\"><br>$pictitle<br>$content
    </td></tr>";
}
  }
  $content = nl2br($content);
  print "<tr><td>$content</td></tr>";
}  

     if (!empty($sourceurl)){
     print "<tr>
              <td bgcolor=\"#F2F2F2\" class=\"menu_in\">$front_source :</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
              <td><a href=\"$sourceurl\" class=\"en_b\" target=\"_blank\">$source</a></td>
            </tr>";
    }
    else {
    if (!empty($source)){
    print "<tr>
              <td bgcolor=\"#F2F2F2\" class=\"menu_in\">$front_source :</td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
              <td>$source</td>
           </tr>";
       }
    }

    if (!empty($adddate)){
    print "<tr>
              <td bgcolor=\"#F2F2F2\" class=\"menu_in\">$front_adddate :</td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
              <td>$adddate</td>
           </tr>";
       }

    for ($i=0; $i<=$prenumber-1; $i++){
      $prename[$i] = $db->getname($pre[$i]);
      if (!empty($prename[$i])){
      $prenotemptytag = true;
      }
      }
      for ($i=0; $i<=$nextnumber-1; $i++){
      $nextname[$i] = $db->getname($next[$i]);
      if (!empty($nextname[$i])){
      $nextnotemptytag = true;
      }
      }
      if (($prenotemptytag)||($nextnotemptytag)){
      print "<tr>
             <td bgcolor=\"#F2F2F2\" class=\"menu_in\">$front_more ...</td>
             </tr>
             <tr> 
             <td>";
      for ($i=0; $i<=$prenumber-1; $i++){
      if (!empty($prename[$i])){      
      print "<a href=\"news.php?newsid=$pre[$i]\" class=\"en_b\">$prename[$i]</a><br>";
      }
      }

      for ($i=0; $i<=$nextnumber-1; $i++){
      if (!empty($nextname[$i])){          
      print "<a href=\"news.php?newsid=$next[$i]\" class=\"en_b\">$nextname[$i]</a><br>";  
      }
      }
      print "</td>
            </tr>";
      }         

    ?>

It's supposed to go in order of appearance:
<tr><td>Intro</td></tr>
<tr><td>Content (w/ picture)</td></tr>
<tr><td>sourceurl</td></tr>
<tr><td>source</td></tr>
<tr><td>adddate</td></tr>

[coreyp_1]

It is difficult to see where this is going. Do you have a functioning example page somewhere so that I can see the HTML output?

Also, why are you outputting $content twice?

Will there be more than one picture to match the given intro, content, sourceurl, source, and adddate? If not, then why are you using a while() through an array?

[lavashark_com]

yeah man i really wish i knew what i was doing with this code.

Just one of each. (At some later point I'd like to be able to have multiple pictures display throughout the content, but I'm not even worrying about that right now)

See now, I can get it where it displays properly. But ther HAS to be an image on each article (CMS). If I don't have an image I've been placing a spacer.gif but I'm tired of having to put a spacer for every article that doesnt have a picture.

What you gave me earlier works. Now, I'm just trying to get it into the same <tr><td>.

[coreyp_1]

Maybe I'm just tired today, but spell it out for me:

In the news.php?newsid=151 page what is:
the intro
the picture
the content
the sourceurl
the source
the adddate

This way I know what I am looking to correct.

[lavashark_com]

I assume you mean output.

intro = the top part, 'By Author name', as well as times viewed, and title, email print etc.
content = article
picture = picture
sourceurl = none on articles (rarely used)
source = none on artciles (rarely used)
adddate = bottom of page, "date added"

by the way, i appreciate your help with this.

[coreyp_1]

I'm glad to (try to) help. This is how I hone my own programming skills!

Do you mean that you want the author's picture in the same <tr><td></tr></td> as the content? 😕 That's the only picture I see on the page.

I'm still wondering (in your most recent code), why $content is output twice. Am I missing something?

[lavashark_com]

yeah. the picture can't be seen because there is none.

I should have given you that one to begin with.
that one has a picture.

the reason content is twice is because I'm messing the code up.

The first link I gave you is how it is supposed to look.
Basically, if there is no picture don't display it (which is done) but now I want to put the picture and the content in the same row, which is screwy.

[coreyp_1]

First attempt (pictures are shown inline):

if (!empty($content)){
  print "<tr><td>"
  if (!empty($picresult)){
    while ( list($key,$val)=each($picresult) ) {
      $pictitle = stripslashes($val["pictitle"]);
      $picture = stripslashes($val["picture"]);
      print "<img src=\"$picturepath$picture\" alt=\"$pictitle\" align=\"right\" style=\"margin: 15px 15px 15px 0px;\"><br>$pictitle<br>";
    }
  }
  $content = nl2br($content);
  print "$content</td></tr>";
}

[lavashark_com]

hmmm,
tried it a few different ways and I got the error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/stfusaco/public_html/news/news.php on line 389

this is line 389:

if (!empty($picresult)){

this is the entire output (probably something that im not seeing):

[coreyp_1]

usually an error like that means that the problem is actually on the preceding line.

... I forgot the semicolon :glare:

[lavashark_com]

wow. that worked perfect corey.

is there anything i can do for you in return?

[coreyp_1]

nah... just stick around and contribute (and perhaps mark the thread RESOLVED). That's how I learned most of my stuff!

On a side note, you could wrap the pictures in a <div> so that you could have better contol over their layout.

[lavashark_com]

hmm okay i'll look into it.
thank you.
