I have a table with data from sql. Some of the columns in the db have more than 1 name. I have created an array from them but now I need to compare the two while creating a table.
$strArrayChildren = explode(',', $children);
$strArrayChildren = str_replace('and', '', $strArrayChildren);
$childCount = count($strArrayChildren);
$strArrayGrades = explode(',',$the_grades);
$strArrayGrades = str_replace('(', '', $strArrayGrades);
$strArrayGrades = str_replace(')', '', $strArrayGrades);
$grades ='';
foreach($strArrayChildren as $child){
foreach($strArrayGrades as $grade){
if(strpos($grade, $child) !== false){
$grades = preg_replace('([a-z A-Z ()]+)', "", $grade);
}elseif(strpos($grade, $child) !== true){
$grades ='';
}
}
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$child}</td>";
echo "<td>{$last_name}</td>";
echo "<td>Child</td>";
echo "<td>{$grades}</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
When I run this code I get the grade of the student to match with the first name from the array, but then the rest of the grades keep trying to match with the first student even though there is a new row with a new name.
Any help would be great! Thank you!
I'm not sure about your database but this should work. I'm posting the response with static arrays.
<?php
$strArrayChildren = array("Becky"," Aaron"," Luke");
$the_grades = "9 (Susan), 5 (Luke)";
$strArrayGrades = explode(',',$the_grades);
echo "<html><body><table style='text-align: center; width: 400px;'>";
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>Child</td>";
echo "<td>Grade</td>";
echo "</tr>";
foreach($strArrayChildren as $child){
$grades = "";
$child = trim($child);
foreach($strArrayGrades as $key => $grade){
if(strpos($grade, $child) > 0){
$grades = intval(preg_replace('/[^0-9]+/', '', $grade), 10);
}
}
echo "<tr>";
echo "<td>{$child}</td>";
echo "<td>{$grades}</td>";
echo "</tr>";
}
echo "</table></body></html>";
?>
Explanation:
$grades
right after first loop startstrpos()
functionstrpos()
; there are unwanted white space in some cases. Better to trim white spaces at the start of the loop
