Dynamic Table from PHP Array - php

Question

I am trying to display a multidimension php array as a table... can someone help?
This is my array:
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[c1] => UA07
[s1] => 6
[c2] => Ultimate Force
[s2] => 8
)
[1] => Array
(
[c1] => UF HEROES
[s1] => 6
[c2] => OLD School
[s2] => 4
)
[2] => Array
(
[c1] => Winners 05
[s1] => not_played
[c2] => World XI
[s2] => not_played
)
[3] => Array
(
[c1] => Outlaw
[s1] => 4
[c2] => UWK
[s2] => 3
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[c1] => Ultimate Force
[s1] => 2
[c2] => UF HEROES
[s2] => 4
)
[1] => Array
(
[c1] => BY
[s1] => 0
[c2] => Outlaw
[s2] => 0
)
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[c1] => UF HEROES
[s1] => 5
[c2] => Outlaw
[s2] => 1
)
)
)
This array currently contains 3 rounds, but could in theory contain more... and within each round it contains each game, and within each game it contains the results of those games...
C1/C2 are competitors and S1 / S2 are the scores...
How do I display each array in a column and move on to the next array and show them in columns as well.. lining them up like a tournament bracket
Any thoughts would be very helpful.
I am trying to achieve a format like this:

Answer 1

As others have said in the comments, you need a nested loop. Since you didn't specify a table format, I just created an example. You can run this at http://writecodeonline.com/php/
/** Simulating your data **/
$rounds = array();
$rounds[1][] = array('c1' => 'UA07', 's1' => 6, 'c2' => 'Ultimate Force', 's2' => 8);
$rounds[1][] = array('c1' => 'UF HEROES', 's1' => 6, 'c2' => 'Old School', 's2' => 4);
$rounds[2][] = array('c1' => 'Ultimate Force', 's1' => 2, 'c2' => 'UF HEROES', 's2' => 4);
$rounds[2][] = array('c1' => 'BY', 's1' => 0, 'c2' => 'Outlaw', 's2' => 0);
$table = <<<EOD
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Round</th>
<th>C1</th>
<th>S1</th>
<th>C2</th>
<th>S2</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
EOD;
foreach ($rounds as $roundNum=> $round){
foreach ($round as $game) {
$table .= "<tr>";
$table .= "<td>{$roundNum}</td>";
$table .= "<td>{$game['c1']}</td>";
$table .= "<td>{$game['s1']}</td>";
$table .= "<td>{$game['c2']}</td>";
$table .= "<td>{$game['s1']}</td>";
$table .= "</tr>";
}
}
$table .= <<<EOD
</tbody>
</table>
EOD;
echo $table;

Dynamic tournament bracket:
Your array:
$rounds = array(
//Round 1
array(
array(
'c1' => 'UA07 ',
's1' => 6 ,
'c2' => 'Ultimate Force ',
's2' => 8 ,
),
array(
'c1' => 'UF HEROES',
's1' => 6,
'c2' => 'OLD School',
's2' => 4,
),
array(
'c1' => 'Winners 05 ',
's1' => 'not_played',
'c2' => 'World XI',
's2' => 'not_played',
),
array(
'c1' => 'Outlaw',
's1' => 4,
'c2' => 'UWK',
's2' => 3,
),
),
//Round 2
array(
array(
'c1' => 'Ultimate Force',
's1' => 2,
'c2' => 'UF HEROES',
's2' => 4,
),
array(
'c1' => 'BY',
's1' => 0,
'c2' => 'Outlaw',
's2' => 0,
),
),
//Round 3
array(
array(
'c1' => 'UF HEROES',
's1' => 5,
'c2' => 'Outlaw',
's2' => 1,
),
)
);
The generator:
$roundCount = 1;
$totalRounds = count($rounds);
echo '<table border="1"><tr>';
for($i = 1;$i <= $totalRounds;$i++)
{
echo '<td>Round'.$i.'</td>';
}
echo '</tr><tr>';
foreach($rounds as $round)
{
$matches = count($round);
echo '<td>';
foreach($round as $match)
{
echo $match['c1'].' - '.$match['s1'].'<br>';
echo $match['c2'].' - '.$match['s2'].'<br><hr>';
}
$roundCount++;
echo '</td>';
}
echo '</tr></table>';
Results:
Generator 2:
$roundCount = 1;
$totalRounds = count($rounds);
echo '<table border="1"><tr>';
for($i = 1;$i <= $totalRounds;$i++)
{
echo '<td>Round'.$i.'</td>';
}
echo '</tr><tr>';
foreach($rounds as $round)
{
$matches = count($round);
echo '<td>';
foreach($round as $match)
{
echo '<table border="1">';
echo '<tr><td>'.$match['c1'].'</td><td>'.$match['s1'].'</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$match['c2'].'</td><td>'.$match['s2'].'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
$roundCount++;
echo '</td>';
}
echo '</tr></table>';
Generator with winner:
$roundCount = 1;
$totalRounds = count($rounds);
echo '<table border="1"><tr>';
for($i = 1;$i <= $totalRounds;$i++)
{
echo '<td>Round'.$i.'</td>';
}
echo '<td>Winner</td>';
echo '</tr><tr>';
foreach($rounds as $round)
{
$matches = count($round);
echo '<td>';
if($roundCount == $totalRounds)
{
if($round[0]['s1'] > $round[0]['s2']) {
$finalist = array($round[0]['c1'],$round[0]['s1']);
} else {
$finalist = array($round[0]['c2'],$round[0]['s2']);
}
}
foreach($round as $match)
{
echo '<table border="1">';
echo '<tr><td>'.$match['c1'].'</td><td>'.$match['s1'].'</td></tr>';
echo '<tr><td>'.$match['c2'].'</td><td>'.$match['s2'].'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
}
$roundCount++;
echo '</td>';
}
echo '<td>';
echo '<table border="1">';
echo '<tr><td>'.$finalist[0].'</td><td>'.$finalist[1].'</td></tr>';
echo '</table>';
echo '</td>';
echo '</tr></table>';
