I have this following code.
$sn_count = 1;
foreach($points as $point){
echo "<div class=\"points\">";
echo "<div class=\"serial\">".$sn_count."</div>";
echo "<div class=\"pointsdesc\">";
echo $point['points_description'];
echo "</div></div>";
$sn_count++;
}
Is it possible to assign the above code to a variable $pointsvar
Everytime i use $pointsvar the above code should be printed. Please help.
Thanks
Functions is your solution.
function printPointVars($points)
{
$sn_count = 1;
$html = '';
foreach($points as $point){
$html .= "<div class=\"points\">"
. "<div class=\"serial\">".$sn_count."</div>"
. "<div class=\"pointsdesc\">"
. $point['points_description']
. "</div></div>";
$sn_count++;
}
echo $html;
}
printPointVars($points);
use .= to assign something to the end of a variable... Something like this:
$sn_count = 1;
$pointsvar = "";
foreach($points as $point){
$pointsvar .= "<div class=\"points\">";
$pointsvar .="<div class=\"serial\">".$sn_count."</div>";
$pointsvar .="<div class=\"pointsdesc\">";
$pointsvar .=$point['points_description'];
$pointsvar .="</div></div>";
$sn_count++;
}
echo $pointsvar;
If you want to call something like this alot, just move this into a function , and pass in the $points array.
Is it ok if $pointsvar is static? (set once, then always at that value?) Is so, just change your echoes to become assignents...
$pointsvar = '';
$sn_count = 1;
foreach($points as $point){
pointsvar = pointsvar."<div class=\"points\">";
pointsvar = pointsvar."<div class=\"serial\">".$sn_count."</div>";
pointsvar = pointsvar."<div class=\"pointsdesc\">";
pointsvar = pointsvar.$point['points_description'];
pointsvar = pointsvar."</div></div>";
$sn_count++;
}
Use a function... not a variable
function pointvar() {
//Your code here
}
If you want get or set your variable
function pointvar($var = null) {
if(!empty($var)) {
$pointvar = $var;
}
//Your code here
return $pointvar;
}
pointvar(12); //Set pointvar and execute your code
$newVar = pointvar(); //Get pointvar value and execute your code
