Smarty

[mohrt]

This is a plugin for splitting an array in to proportional parts.

The need came about when I had an array, such as:

[t-rob]

Could you give me more examples on how to use this function? I can get it working but not exactly the way it should, example:

x[0][0]='hp'
x[0][1]='notebook'
x[0][2]='on stock'
x[1][0]='ibm'
x[1][1]='server'
x[1][2]='no stock'
x[2][0]='acer'
x[2][1]='desktop'
x[2][2]='on stock'
x[3][0]='lenovo'
x[3][1]='tft'
x[3][2]='no stock'

what I need is a table like this:
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>hp</td><td>ibm</td><td>acer</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>lenovo</td><td></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>

I need to configure the amount of colums and the rows should follow untill there is nothing in the array x anymore. How do I do this?

what does the original array look like? maybe you need something like html_table (comes with Smarty) instead of split_array.

Never mind, somebody gave a very handy solution:

I am querying a mysql database and getting a list of datatypes from different tables. I display set_1 by default. If someone clicks on the tab/hyperlink for set_4 I want it to display that.

I am using a {foreach} loop to display the original set of data but when someone clicks on a different set the data that was in the assigned var is now gone. Does the foreach erase an assigned variable after it runs on it?

Example

callQuery.php ...

if($queryResults != null)
array_push($results, $queryResults);

$Smarty->assign("dataResults", $results);
$Smarty->assign("dataType", "type1");
$Smarty->display("T_QUERY_DISPLAY");

queryDisp.tpl ...

{include file="headerHyperlinks.tpl"}

{foreach item=list from=$dataResults}
{foreach item=field from=$list}
{if $dataType eq $field.type}
$field.type &
$field.location<br>
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/foreach}

[EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT TO THIS POINT]

User clicks on different data set and if I try to print any part of the $dataResults at any point it is always null.

Maybe I am missing something?

Any help would be great!!
