help with PhP code string..

[kcvata]

Hi,

I have the following PhP string. The code is writen to include statistical average on "nummeric values" such as 5, 3, 2, 1.... n will be calculated as 5 + 3 + 2 + 1 / n = XYZ / n.. However, it is not working properly..

The star numeric values ( 2, 5, etc. etc. ) will be entered by the user.

It would be very kind of him/her if anybody can help me with this problem. If it takes too much of your time financial compensation is possible.

I have been trying to solve this problem for 6 months..

Regards,

Korkut Vata

You might want to re-post your code (don't forget to use the board's [noparse]

..

[/noparse] bbcode tags when you do!) in a more readable format (e.g. a properly indented set of lines, rather than a jumbled mess).

Since I have no understanding of PhP code ı have put it that way. No lack of respect but ignorance.. Sorry..

Here's the code reasonably formatted in case that helps anyone to figure out how to help (my comments added for the first and last lines, which may simply be because only part of the code was copied/pasted here):

<?php
//status; /* DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS -- END OF PRECEDING LINE? */
$sid = $gas_res->sid;
/* Get Stars */
if (strpos($output, '*') > 0) {
   preg_match('/[0-9 ]+[*]/', $output, $matches);
   if (intval($matches[0]) != 0) {
      $start_value = str_replace('*', '', $matches[0]);
   } else {
      preg_match('/[*][0-9]+/', $output, $matches1);
      $start_value = str_replace('*', '', $matches1[0]);
   }
} else {
   $star_value = "";
}
$star_value = trim($start_value);
/* Get Stars */
/* Get Tags */
$sql_exe = db_query('SELECT name from tags WHERE type="term" AND sid=' . $sid);
while ($sql_obj = db_fetch_object($sql_exe)) {
   $tag_name = $sql_obj->name;
   if ($tag_name != "" && $star_value != "") {
      $sql_2 = 'INSERT INTO rating VALUES(' . $sid . ',"' . $tag_name . '",' . $star_value . ')';
      db_query($sql_2);
   }
}
/* Get Tags */
// this closing brace does not have a matching opening brace in this snippet:
}
?>
