Brilliant, I'm learning a lot this week.
I've used the explode() and this now generates the list.
[code]
<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
$xml = '<image_folder></image_folder>';
if ($FORBIDDEN_SET != "") $FORBIDDEN_SET = "AND $FORBIDDEN_SET";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM {$CONFIG['TABLE_PICTURES']} AS p
WHERE filename LIKE '%.jpg' $FORBIDDEN_SET ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 15");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$type = 'normal';
$xml .= " ".get_pic_url($row, $type) ."";
}
$url = explode(" ", $xml);
?>
[/code]
so now I come onto the second bit to create the $slideshow array.
[code]
<?php
//include slideshow.php to access the Send_Slideshow_Data function
include "slideshow.php";
include "flashthumb.php";
for ( $i=0; $i<15; $i++ ){
$slideshow[ 'slide' ][ $i ] = array ( 'url' => $url[7] );
}
Send_Slideshow_Data ( $slideshow );
?>
[/code]
I'm struggling a little with the correct syntax here. The line with
$url[7] I would like to count with $i but I'm not sure how to put that
in.
$slideshow[ 'slide' ][ $i ] = array ( 'url' => $url[$i] );
Does not work. I'm sure it's simple and it's just a simple syntax
thing. I'll crack this php malarky one day.
Thanks for your help
