display across not down
hey gang. have a question or 2 here.

I have a page that gets stats from an xml feed.
what i want to do is take the top 15 players stats, and display them on a
page.
now, in displaying them... i don't want them to go down the page, i want
them to go across.
the view would be 5 names across, and 3 rows for the 15 names.

any ideas??

here is my code:

<?php

$clanid="22829";

function startTag($parser, $name, $attrs) {
global $stack;

$tag=array("name"=>$name,"attrs"=>$attrs);
array_push($stack,$tag);
}

function cdata($parser, $cdata) {
global $stack;

$stack[count($stack)-1]['cdata'] .= $cdata;
}

function endTag($parser, $name) {
global $stack;

$stack[count($stack)-2]['children'][] = $stack[count($stack)-1];
array_pop($stack);
}

function aSortBySecondIndex($multiArray, $secondIndex, $dir) {
while (list($firstIndex, ) = each($multiArray))
$indexMap[$firstIndex] = $multiArray[$firstIndex][$secondIndex];
if ($dir==0)
asort($indexMap);
else
arsort($indexMap);
while (list($firstIndex, ) = each($indexMap))
if (is_numeric($firstIndex))
$sortedArray[] = $multiArray[$firstIndex];
else $sortedArray[$firstIndex] = $multiArray[$firstIndex];
return $sortedArray;
}

// Parse XML

$stack = array();
$claninfo = array();
$clanstats = array();
$playerstats = array();

Re: display across not down
oh, by the way. not sure why there is a space between each row, but i
wouldn't want that either.
let me show you how it should look.
now this is done with asp currently, but want the php page i gave to be
included there.
http://aa.gig-gamers.com/index9.asp     notice the group of names at the
top? that is how i want it to appear with the code i provided.
any help would be most appreciated.

Jeff

First: clean up your code, it's loaded with expressions you don't even
use...
Further: basic HTML?

$i = 0;

> foreach($playerstats_sorted as $key => $value) {

if($i==0){ echo '<tr>';}

>  echo "<td align=left><font size=1>$playername - $playerhonor</font>
> / <font
> size=1 color=$frcolor>$playerfrag</font></td>";

if($i==4){
echo '</tr>';
$i = 0;
} else{
$i++;
}
}

And about your HTML: it's always wise to quote the attributes, so:
align="left" instead of align=left etc...
Also consider using css instead. Keeps it readable, easily editable.

Re: display across not down
thanks for the help. The extra stuff is because this feed contained a bunch
more stuff. I didn't delete alot because i wasn't sure if it was needed. I
am an asp guy trying to learn php. so i wasn't sure how to put html into php
code either.

now on the the code. i made the changes that you put there (i think), and it
still goes verticle.
http://aa.gig-gamers.com/Clanstats/index3.php

posting my "new" code here:

<?php

}

function endTag($parser, $name) {

$stack[count($stack)-2]['children'][] = $stack[count($stack)-1];
array_pop($stack);
}

function aSortBySecondIndex($multiArray, $secondIndex, $dir) {

That's because you haven't implemented the code I gave you....

You echo:
> echo "<td align=left><font size=1>$playername - $playerhonor</font> /
<font> size=1 color=$frcolor>$playerfrag</font></td></tr>";


I said: 
<font size=1 color=$frcolor>$playerfrag</font></td>";

Notice I don't start a row before and terminate the row after EACH player...

//assuming aSortBySecondIndex() works:

$player_stats_sorted = array_slice($player_stats_sorted,0,14);

foreach($playerstats_sorted as $value) {
if($i==0){ echo '<tr>';}
if($value['PLAYERSTATUS']=="1") $statuspic="ponline.gif"; else
$statuspic="poffline.gif";
if ($value['PLAYERFRAG'] < 1.0){
$frcolor="#ff0000";
} elseif ($value['PLAYERFRAG'] < 2.0){
$frcolor="#EA7500";
} else{
$frcolor="#00ff00";
}

REMOVE THE FOLLOWING 1 LINE!!
>  echo "<tr>";

printf("<td style=\"text-align:left;font-size:1em;\">%s - %d / <span
style=\"color:$frcolor;\">%01.2f</span></td>", $value['PLAYERNAME'],

Re: display across not down
I should pay you?  I have been to many NG's here. And you have answered my
question either very poorly, or very differently than anyone else has
answered other questions from other users and myself. If you are here to
help, then help. Explain what you are doing as if I don't know (because if I
did know, I wouldn't have posted)

I will s help else where, but thanks anyway.

I've practically given you a working script....

If I introduce a function that you aren't familiar with, I expect you have
the sense to lookup that function. Surprised? That's how I learned. If
people gave me code, and it didn't work, I would look at the PHP manual,
figure out what they were trying to do, and after that, get back to them. If
you have a foreach() in your scipt, and it doesn't work and you don't know
what it does, I expect you to try to find out what it does.

If you make a webpage, I assume you know how a table is constructed in HTML.
Surprised? I was, after learning that "Notice I don't start a row before and
terminate the row after EACH  player..." was total gibberish to you. I was
even kind enough to point to how tables were created in case you didn't.

Futhermore, my statement about writing code yourself that people more
experienced could write in a heartbeat for you to copy/paste is IMHO true
for everybody: trying to code it yourself, allthough it's done many a times,
and often better, is great for learning.

In my opinion, I stood by you longer than most people would have.
I could have told you "array_slice" and leave you figuring it out for
yourself, but no, I was in a helping mood, and thought to give some more
specific code. Might have been better for you. Realizing you didn't
understand i wrote more and more code for you, which you pasted into your
script without thinking, and instead of figuring out why it didn't work you
came back and nagged about it.

Newsgroups aren't meant to be your personal helpdesk, you're supposed to try
to figure things out for yourself, researching it in manuals and online.
After that, you ask your question, and hopefully get an answer. If you get
an answer, you don't just copy/paste it. You try to understand what it is
exactly what it's doing, do your research over again, guided by the answer.
If something doesn't work, isolate the part of the code that doesn't work by
trying the different pieces seperately. If it's about output, don't look at
the page, look at the source of the page. Then, and only then, if things
still aren't clear to you, come back to the ng, and tell the people which
part of your code still doesn't work. Don't demand they do stuff for you,
ask them.

www.php.net
Learn, realise I've given you a perfect script in a few ws, and I'll be
waiting for you apology.

Once again (the only thing missing are opening and closign <table>-tags:
$player_stats_sorted = array_slice($player_stats_sorted,0,14);
$i=0;
foreach($playerstats_sorted as $value) {
if($i==0){ echo '<tr>';}
if($value['PLAYERSTATUS']=="1") {$statuspic="ponline.gif";} else{
$statuspic="poffline.gif";}
if ($value['PLAYERFRAG'] < 1.0){
$frcolor="#ff0000";
} elseif ($value['PLAYERFRAG'] < 2.0){
$frcolor="#EA7500";
} else{
$frcolor="#00ff00";
}

printf("<td style=\"text-align:left;font-size:1em;\">%s - %d / <span
style=\"color:$frcolor;\">%01.2f</span></td>", $value['PLAYERNAME'],
 $value['PLAYERHONOR'],$value['PLAYERFRAG
']);

if($i==4){
echo '</tr>';
$i = 0;
} else{
$i++;
}
}

Grtz,
