Question

I’m not a PHP pro and would really appreaciate some help with displaying some array data (pulled from an XML file) in an HTML table format.

My array is setup as follows:

$strTodayIs = date('l F/n');
    foreach($xml->last7days->day AS $Daily) {
        //if (date('l F/n',(int)$Daily->starttime) != $strTodayIs) {
            $intAverageLastweek += (int)$Daily->avgresponse;
            $intDowntimeLast7 += (int)$Daily->totaldowntime;
            $intUptimeLast7 += (int)$Daily->totaluptime;
            array_push($arrLastWeek, array( "starttime" => $Daily->starttime,
                                            "response" => $Daily->avgresponse,
                                            "totalup" => $Daily->totaluptime,
                                            "totaldown" => $Daily->totaldowntime
                                           ));
        //}
    }

I’m trying to display the results of some simple percentage calculations in an HTML table, using the data from the $arrLastWeek array.

My end goal is to display the background colour of each cell depending on the calculated value of the data from the array, e.g. 100 = green, 100 to 99.8 = yellow, less than 99.8 =red.

Again, any help even pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Please let me know if I’ve left out any important info that could help me solve my problem?

Answer 1

Basically you’re going to do something like this:

<?php foreach($array as $line): ?>
<tr><td><?php echo $line['value']; ?></td><td><?php echo $line['value2']; ?></td></tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>

You can do math by setting PHP variables to zero before the foreach, and adding to them inside the foreach, and outputting them somewhere.

Good luck
