Hi guys,

My results are changing the width of my website, and it's driving me nuts!

$page_link="";
for($k=1;$k<=$tpage;$k++){

$page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}

That's my php code, and I get over 100 results, and it's going from left to right and it doesn't drop down to another line, it just go straight right and I have to use the scroll bar to see the full results... Is there anyway we can parse this somehow it fits in the width="700" only?

<DIV
style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 13px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #444; PADDING-TOP: 5px; TEXT-ALIGN: right">Browse
Pages:
{$page_link}
</DIV>

That's what I have to call the results...

Please help...

why don't you put a <br> tag at the end of the echo :

$page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>";

You could also change:


$page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>";

to:


$viewtype = (isset($_REQUEST['viewtype'])) ? (stripslashes(trim($_GET['viewtype']))) : ""; // Assuming the viewtype is a string name and not an int value.
$category = (isset($_REQUEST['category'])) ? intval(trim($_GET['category'])) : 0; // Assuming the category is about the cat_id.

$page_link.="<a href=\\"pages.php?page=".$k&viewtype."=".$viewtype."&category=".$category."\">$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />";


Edit:

Strange.

&category=".$category."\" doesn't seem to be considered into the code above by using the [ php ] tag in the text window.

Perhaps if I tell you replace, from my code above - when you're done, this part:


&category=".$category.""


with this part:


&category=".$category."\"


Let's see. ;)

well, if I do that, then it's going to turn into a vertical line instead of horizontal...

Ah ! now I know what you're trying to do then.

Assuming you're using your URL under a while loop statement,

change:


$viewtype = (isset($_REQUEST['viewtype'])) ? (stripslashes(trim($_GET['viewtype']))) : ""; // Assuming the viewtype is a string name and not an int value.
$category = (isset($_REQUEST['category'])) ? intval(trim($_GET['category'])) : 0; // Assuming the category is about the cat_id.

$page_link.="<a href=\\"pages.php?page=".$k&viewtype."=".$viewtype."&category=".$category."">$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />";

to read:



$viewtype = (isset($_REQUEST['viewtype'])) ? (stripslashes(trim($_GET['viewtype']))) : ""; // Assuming the viewtype is a string name and not an int value.
$category = (isset($_REQUEST['category'])) ? intval(trim($_GET['category'])) : 0; // Assuming the category is about the cat_id.

$page_link .= "
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\">
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
";
// Put your while statement here . . .
$page_link .= "
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\"><a href=\\"pages.php?page=".$k&viewtype."=".$viewtype."&category=".$category."">".$k."</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD>
";
} // End of while.
$page_link .= "
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
";
echo trim($page_link);

This way, the URL presentation should never break a line 'until' the maximum table size limit has been reached (100% has been set as width in this case). ;)

P.S: Don't forget about the:

&category=".$category.""

for:

&category=".$category."\"

I'm not sure if this help, but I'm using smart templates engine, therefore, the echo is in the othe file, file.tpl....

Here's how it's looking now with the changes you've recommended...

$page_link="";
for($k=1;$k<=$tpage;$k++){

$viewtype = (isset($_REQUEST['viewtype'])) ? (stripslashes(trim($_GET['viewtype']))) : ""; // Assuming the viewtype is a string name and not an int value.
$category = (isset($_REQUEST['category'])) ? intval(trim($_GET['category'])) : 0; // Assuming the category is about the cat_id.

$page_link .= "
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\">
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
";
// Put your while statement here . . .
$page_link .= "
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\"><a href=\\"pages.php?page=".$k&viewtype."=".$viewtype."&category=".$category."\">".$k."</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD>
";
} // End of while.
$page_link .= "
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
";
echo trim($page_link);
}

Calling the .php from .tpl...

<!-- begin paging -->
<DIV
style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-SIZE: 13px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 5px; COLOR: #444; PADDING-TOP: 5px; TEXT-ALIGN: right">Browse
Pages:
{$page_link}
</DIV><!-- end paging -->


Doesn't seem to work with what you told me to do...

I wasn't aware, from your info above, you had a TPL file aside that parses your template. Do you have a class name, linked with a method name, that parse that TPL file technicly ?

This is what I have:

STemplate::assign('page_link',$page_link);

Ok so, first, make a backup of those two files. Then, replace:


$page_link="";
for($k=1;$k<=$tpage;$k++){

$viewtype = (isset($_REQUEST['viewtype'])) ? (stripslashes(trim($_GET['viewtype']))) : ""; // Assuming the viewtype is a string name and not an int value.
$category = (isset($_REQUEST['category'])) ? intval(trim($_GET['category'])) : 0; // Assuming the category is about the cat_id.

$page_link .= "
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\">
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
";
// Put your while statement here . . .
$page_link .= "
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\"><a href=\\"pages.php?page=".$k&viewtype."=".$viewtype."&category=".$category."">".$k."</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD>
";
} // End of while.
$page_link .= "
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
";
echo trim($page_link);
}

with:


$page_link = "";

$viewtype = (isset($_REQUEST['viewtype'])) ? (stripslashes(trim($_GET['viewtype']))) : ""; // Assuming the viewtype is a string name and not an int value.
$category = (isset($_REQUEST['category'])) ? intval(trim($_GET['category'])) : 0; // Assuming the category is about the cat_id.

$page_link .= "
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH=\"100%\">
<TABLE BORDER=\"0\" WIDTH=\"100%\" CELLPADDING=\"0\" CELLSPACING=\"0\">
<TR>
";

for ($k = 1; $k <= $tpage; $k++) {
$page_link .= STemplate::assign('page_link',$page_link);
}
$page_link .= "
</TR>
</TABLE>
</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
";
unset ($page_link);

Then, replace your TPL file with:


<TD WIDTH=\"100%\"><a href=\\"pages.php?page=".$k&viewtype."=".$viewtype."&category=".$category."">".$k."</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD>

P.S: I'm not quite the expert with DIVs.

Code modified above.

I can't have the $k in the tpl file.

I think we have to do something like, First 20,21,22,23,current,25,26,27,28,last, etc... let me know if you understand what I mean.

You want to display 4 results per line ?

yes please...

OK here goes :
(your original code)


$j=0;
for($k=1;$k<=$tpage;$k++){


if ($j%4==0)
{ $page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>";
}
else { $page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
$j++;
}

OK here goes :
(your original code)


$j=0;
for($k=1;$k<=$tpage;$k++){


if ($j%4==0)
{ $page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>";
}
else { $page_link.="<a href='pages.php?page=$k&viewtype=$_REQUEST[viewtype]&category=$category'>$k</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;";
}
$j++;
}




You are AMAZING!!!

Thanks everyone for helping...
