PHP array to Template file

Hello Everyone,

I been trying to solve this for days, but to no avail. I have merged arrays as a result of parsing an xml file. The print_r output is shown below.


Array (
            [0] => Array (
                                [0] => Array (
                                                    [link] => About Us
                                                    [url] => index=about_us
                                                  )
                                 [1] => Array (
                                                   [link] => Contact
                                                   [url] => title=testing_again
                                                )

                                  [copyright] => YourSite.Com 2014
                                   [title] => Welcom to our site
                                  [author] => MySite.com
                                   [content] => This is our site
                                         )

My php codes looks like this

             $TBS->MergeBlock('content',$array);


Can somebody please tell me how I can write the codes for the template file?

Re: PHP array to Template file

Hi Newbie,

I have a problem with you data structure: why the list of url/link are in the same level as whom information such as Copyright, Title, .... ?
Bluit this way, it is not possible to separate the url/link items from the whom informations.

Re: PHP array to Template file

Hi Skrol29,

Thank you for responding to my question I really appreciate it. Below is an output from a revised PHP which not using
    
        $TBS->MergeBlock('data', $array);

The print_r of the array returns

        Array ( [0] => Array (
                    [0] => Array (
                                    [link] => About Us
                                    [url] => title=about_us
                                    )
                    [1] => Array (
                                  [link] => Testing Again
                                  [url] => title=testing_again
                                  )
                                 
                    [2] => Array (
                                  [link] => This Is A Sample Article
                                  [url] => title=this_is_a_sample_article
                                  )
                   
                    [3] => Array (
                                  [link] => This Is A Second Sample Article
                                  [url] => title=this_is_a_second_sample_article
                                  )
                        )
            )

The problem that I currently having is that I cannot pass the array to the template. I am not really sure I how to do this on TBS. What I have on my template file was like this

                      [data.link;block=li]
                           [data.link]


Once again, thanks a lot..

Re: PHP array to Template file

Hi,

Thanks again. my apology for not including it on my first post. The output I am trying to achieved are links. Something like this


      <a href="read/[data.url]"> [data.link]</a>


I have a router that will redirect to the specific page based on the data.url..


Thanks

Re: PHP array to Template file

Additional information. If I do this in PHP

       foreach($data as $item){
        echo '<a href="'.$item['url'].'">'.$item['link'].'</a><br/>';
        }


it works perfectly, but I cannot do it in the template file.

Re: PHP array to Template file

PHP side :
$TBS->MergeBlock('data',$data);

HTML side :
<div><a href="[data.url;block=div]"> [data.link]</a></div>
or
<span><a href="[data.url;block=span]"> [data.link]</a></br></span>
or
<a href="[data.url;block=_]"> [data.link]</a></br>
"block=_" means the block is defined on the text line.
