Array starts like this:
Array (
[SMART Board] => Array ( [0] => sb1 [1] => sb2 [2] => sb3 )
[Projector] => Array ( [0] => pr1 [1] => pr2 [2] => pr3 )
[Speakers] => Array ( [0] => sp1 [1] => sp2 [2] => sp3 )
[Splitter] => Array ( [0] => spl1 [1] => spl2 [2] => spl3 )
[Wireless Slate] => Array ( [0] => ws1 [1] => ws2 [2] => ws3 )
)
The keys are used as my table columns titles. Their individual arrays are to carry the column information.
I have split it up even further with array_slice
and array_merge_recursive
to look pretty as 2 arrays - 1 holds the column names, the other looks like this:
Array (
[0] => sb1
[1] => sb2
[2] => sb3
[3] => pr1
[4] => pr2
[5] => pr3
[6] => sp1
[7] => sp2
[8] => sp3
[9] => spl1
[10] => spl2
[11] => spl3
[12] => ws1
[13] => ws2
[14] => ws3
)
However, when trying to write the table I'm getting keys 0, 1, 2 as the column data, then row break then 3, 4, 5 then row break... etc.
I need it to be 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 row break 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 row break etc...
How can I either rearrange my array to allow for this, or rewrite how the data goes into the table so that the correct information lines up with the appropriate column?
foreach(unserialize($dl->data) as $data){
//first 3 are specialinstructions, system, and room
$uniques = array_slice($data,0,3);
$rows = array_slice($data,3);
$rows2 = array_merge_recursive($rows2, $rows);
//get the specialinstructions, system, and room
foreach($uniques as $unique){
echo $unique."<br/>";
}///foreach uniques
echo "<br>";
}///foreach unserialized
$numberofrooms = count($rows2[key($rows2)]);
$numberofproducts = count($rows2);
print_r($rows2);
unset($rows);
//write the individual rows
foreach($rows2 as $header=>$rowset){
$headers[] = $header;
foreach($rowset as $row){
$rows[] = $row;
}//foreach rowset
}//foreach rows2
echo "<p>";
print_r($rows);
echo '<table class="data-table">
<caption>DL</caption>
<thead><tr>';
foreach($headers as $header){
echo "<th>".$header."</th>";
}
echo '</tr></thead>';
echo '<tbody>';
$i = 0;
foreach($rows as $row){
if($i == 3 || $i == 0){
echo "<tr>";
$i = 1;
}
echo '<td>'.$row.'</td>';
if($i == 2){
echo "</tr>";
}
$i++;
}
echo '</tbody></table>';
You could use the original array and the following code to display the way you want:
$i=0;
while($i<3){ // 3 is the number of items in each array
foreach($originalArray as $arr){
print($arr[$i].'<br/>');
}
print('<hr/>');
$i++;
}
Not tested but you should get the drift.
