Hello all. I'm currently experimenting with arrays in PHP, and I created a fake environment where a team's information will be displayed.
$t1 = array (
"basicInfo" => array (
"The Sineps",
"December 25, 2010",
"lemonpole"
),
"overallRecord" => array (0, 0, 0, 0),
"overallSeasons" => array (
1 => array (14, 0, 0),
2 => array (9, 5, 2),
3 => array (12, 4, 0),
4 => array (3, 11, 2)
),
"games" => array (
"<img src=\"images/cs.gif\" alt=\"Counter-Strike\" />",
"<img src=\"images/cs.gif\" alt=\"Counter-Strike\" />",
"<img src=\"images/cs.gif\" alt=\"Counter-Strike\" />",
"<img src=\"images/cs.gif\" alt=\"Counter-Strike\" />"
),
"seasonHistory" => array (
"Season I",
"Season II",
"Season III",
"Season IV"
),
"divisions" => array (
"Open",
"Main",
"Main",
"Invite"
)
);
// Displays the seasons the team has been in along
// with the record of each season.
function seasonHistory() {
// Make array variable local-scope.
global $t1;
// Count the number of seasons.
$numrows = count($t1["seasonHistory"]);
// Loop through all the variables until
// it reaches the last entry made and display
// each item seperately.
for($v = 0; $v <= $numrows; $v++) {
// Echo each season.
echo "<tr><td>{$t1["games"][$v]}</td>";
echo "<td>{$t1["seasonHistory"][$v]}</td>";
echo "<td>{$t1["divisions"][$v]}</td></tr>";
}
}
I have tested several possible problems out and after narrowing them down I have come down to one conclusion and that is my function is not connecting to the array for some reason. I don't know what else to do because I thought making the array global would fix that problem.
What works:
I can echo $t1["games"][0] on the page I need it to display and it gives me the content.
I tried echo $t1["games"][0] INSIDE the function and then calling the function and it doesn't display anything.
