PHP code snippet, that is. :taz:

I want to be able to have a form with 3 string inputs,
then put them into an array for storage,
and then use the parts of the array in HTML output.

I think I know some basics, such as:

$variable = array ('aaa','bbb','ccc');

But how to get it to output this:

<a href="aaa" alt="bbb">ccc</a>

? Thats what I can't find on google searching for php arrays. I've been at it a waking day now. ARgh.

Someone please point me in the right direction, and then kick me in the *** so that I can get there faster.

thanks.

http://uk.php.net/array

That might help. The PHP site is the place to look for any PHP help, especially with specific functions.

Edit: I'll try to throw something together for you quickly in a while, I'm just going out to get a Chinese, so I'll give it a go when I get back.

The out put would be in:

$variable[0]; <--- aaa
$variable[1]; <--- bbb
$variable[2]; <--- ccc

If you can't get it from what was just said, here ya go.

PHP Code:


			
$variable = array ('aaa','bbb','ccc');

echo "<a href='$variable[0]' alt='$variable[1]'>$variable[2]</a>";

Yeah, I guess I should have given a little more... just figured people learn from figuring it out on their own, as I did. :tooth:
