I've generated an array of dates. Here is a quick sample
Array
(
[2013] => Array
(
[Feb] => 2013
[Jan] => 2013
)
[2012] => Array
(
[Oct] => 2012
[Jun] => 2012
[May] => 2012
)
)
Sample code:
<?php
$posts = get_posts(array('numberposts' => -1, 'post_status' => 'publish', 'post_type' => 'post', ));
# $i=1;
print '<pre>';
foreach ($posts as $post) {
# $post_results[$post->ID][month] = get_the_time('m', $post->ID);
# $post_results[$post->ID][year] = get_the_time('Y', $post->ID);
$year = get_the_time('Y', $post -> ID);
$month = get_the_time('M', $post -> ID);
$post_results[$year][$month] = get_the_time('Y', $post -> ID);
# echo "$i. Post ID: " .$post->ID." - " .get_the_time('Y-m-d', $post->ID)."<br/>";
# $i++;
}
foreach ($post_results as $key => $value) {
echo "Month: " . $key . " Year: " . $value . "<br/>";
}
print_r($post_results);
print '</pre>';
?>
I'd like to list all dates in the same format as this webpage http://www.smartpassiveincome.com/archives/
What I need is help getting my array to separate values like what you see above. I can do the linking part myself, I just need the data pulled into easy to use variables for me.
For example, I'd like to say "For each year, get all the months listed, then type out <td>$year</td><td>$month</td>
then move on to the previous year.
Here's what I think you need, his is one way to achieve the following:
2013 | Feb | Jan
2012 | Oct | Jun | May
Original:
$arrYears = array(2013=>array("Feb"=>2013, "Jan"=>2013), 2012=>array("Oct"=>2013, "Jun"=>2013, "May"=>2013));
foreach($arrYears as $strYear=>$arrMonths) {
echo $strYear;
// This is our logic for each year
foreach($arrMonths as $strMonth=>$strYear2) {
echo " | ".$strMonth;
}
echo "<br />";
}
Edit: Put months in a nested list
$arrYears = array(
2013=>array("Feb"=>2013, "Jan"=>2013),
2012=>array("Oct"=>2013, "Jun"=>2013, "May"=>2013)
);
echo "<ul>";
foreach($arrYears as $strYear=>$arrMonths) {
echo "<li>";
echo $strYear;
echo "<ul>";
foreach($arrMonths as $strMonth=>$strYear2) {
echo "<li><a href='#'>".$strMonth."</a></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
This will get you what you need. Just change $currentDate
to be a timestamp for whatever date you want to start from.
$currentDate = strtotime('January 1st, 2000');
$newestDate = strtotime(date('Y-m-01'));
$yearMonthArray = array();
while ($currentDate <= $newestDate) {
if (!array_key_exists($year = date('Y', $currentDate), $yearMonthArray)) {
$yearMonthArray[$year] = array();
}
$yearMonthArray[$year][] = date('M', $currentDate);
$currentDate = strtotime('next month', $currentDate);
}
var_dump($yearMonthArray);
Edit: This just gets you all year/month combinations. You should be able to use this example combined with your code to get something that shows only months with posts.
I figured it out myself, here is my new code
$posts = get_posts(
array(
'numberposts' => -1,
'post_status' => 'publish',
'post_type' => 'post',
)
);
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$year = get_the_time('Y', $post->ID);
$month = get_the_time('M', $post->ID);
$post_results[$year][$month] = $month;
}
foreach ($post_results as $key => $value) {
echo "<b>" .$key."</b> ";
foreach ($value as $sub_key => $sub_value) {
echo $sub_key." ";
}
echo "<br/>";
}
