Arrays and broken links

sericeus

I am somewhat new to php and as such, thought i would start off small. i have an array that holds links which i am using to build a menu of a sorts but everytime i try to create the menu, only the first and last elements in the array function properly. anything in between has a newline character inserted between the closing '"' of my href tag and the '>'. I have tried several remedies and yet I am still without a cure. here is the code that I am using below.

foreach ($AboutLinks as $link) {
if(file_exists($link)){
$fh = fopen($link, "r");
$linkText = addslashes(htmlspecialchars(fread($fh, filesize($link))));
$linkKey = key($AboutLinks);
echo "\n<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"display.writeIt('$linkText'); return false\">$linkKey</a>";
if($i++!=$NoElem) echo " | ";
next($AboutLinks);
fclose($fh);
}
}

any help you can give me with this matter would be greatly appreaciated.

Hi!

First, you have an error in your javascript - you should always close statements with a semicolon, so you have to replace

echo "\n<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"display.writeIt('$linkText'); return false\">$linkKey</a>";

echo "\n<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"display.writeIt('$linkText'); return false;\">$linkKey</a>";

Second, you do not need to use next($AboutLinks); on an array which is enumerated using foreach statement.

Try to fix this, the error might lie in the Javascript, although these are the first things I noticed and there might be another thing which is wrong about the script.

Best regards,

Thanks. I feel like an idiot now and I swear that I checked for this before. It would appear that there was an extra line in the file being read in and that is what was throughing things off. Once I fixed that, everything works perfectly fine. oy oy, it is late and it has been a very long week. Okay, back to work for me.

I want to create an array based on the result of an Access query...i know
there are duplicated datas in it (don't have to use DISTINCT in the query), so i would like to filter them in order to
create a second array with unique datas...
How can i do that ?
I can't even build the fist array...

Thanks in advance.
