[PHP] 'Dynamic variable name' ?
« on: February 05, 2011, 03:53 PM »
This is something I've managed to do so far:
Code: PHP [Select]
  1. function generateMap {
  2.         $i = 0;
  3.                 $openMap = fopen("map/map_1-1.txt", "r");
  4.                         while (!feof($openMap)) {
  5.                                 $line = fgets($openMap, 1024);
  6.                                         $map = str_split($line);

The problem is, that I want to name the array $map like $map$i  or $map + $i...
So that it's like $map1 = blah, $map2 = blah, $map3 = blah ...

Do you get me?
How do I do that?

Why not use arrays instead?

Whaat?

I want to get every line of the text-file.
Then spilt those lines to arrays called map1, map2, map3 ... where each character of the line is one cell of an array.
But how do I name the $map differently after every loop?

like $map$i or somrthing?

Do as the man says, use an array.

What do you mean?
Aren't I using arrays when splitting the lines to an array?

Instead of your idea of "$map$i", you'd use multi-dimension arrays, or an array of arrays... like
Code: PHP [Select]
  1. $ubermap[i] = str_split($line);

Thanks!
It's working now as so:
(Btw, any 'better' way to thank like reputation + etc. ?)
Code: PHP [Select]
  1. $i = 0;
  2.         $openMap = fopen("map/map_1-1.txt", "r");
  3.                 while (!feof($openMap)) {
  4.                         $line = fgets($openMap);
  5.                         $map[$i] = str_split($line);
  6.                         $i++;
  7.                 }
  8. fclose($openMap);
  9.  
  10. for ($row = 0; $row <= 13; $row++)
  11. {
  12.     for ($col = 0; $col <= 13; $col++)
  13.     {
  14.                 if ($map[$row][$col] == 'X') {
  15.                         echo "<img src = 'img/wall/X.jpg'/>";}
  16.                 elseif ($map[$row][$col] == 'G') {
  17.                         echo "<img src = 'img/terrain/G.jpg'/>";}
  18.     }
  19. }

No reputation system, Eternal Gratefulness will also work nicely. But if there was a reputation system in place, f0dder would obviously be off the scale anyways :P
