Style output of multidimensional array - El Forum - 05-11-2012
[eluser]BigBonsai[/eluser]
Hello there.
Here is one I have trouble figuring out.
To make this an easy example I have the following table of cars:
ID: 1
Brand: Volkswagen
Color: Yellow
ID: 2
BRAND: BMW
Color: Blue
Say I put this in a multidimensional array like this (coming out of a database, processed by a foreach loop):
Code:
$cars[$row->car_id]['brand'] = $row->car_brand;
$cars[$row->car_id]['color'] = $row->car_color;This I output with a simple ul($cars), which comes with the html helper.
The output will look something like this:
Code:
<ul>
<li>1
<ul>
<li>Volkswagen</li>
<li>Yellow</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>2
<ul>
<li>BMW</li>
<li>Blue</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>This works perfect, BUT: What if I do not want to display the ID? Or what if I want to display different colors for each list point of colors or or or? Point is - is there a way to give the different list points style information like class or id?
So something like this would be brilliant:
Code:
<ul id="cars">
<li class="car_id">1
<ul class="car_details">
<li class="car_brand">Volkswagen</li>
<li class="car_color">Yellow</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="car_id">2
<ul class="car_details">
<li class="car_brand">BMW</li>
<li class="car_color">Blue</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>I hope I made this halfway understandable.
Thanks for your input.
