Html/Markup format using Picasa PHP FOREACH - php

Question

Hi guys im trying to format an html output based on this picasa script using foreach, this way:
<? foreach($albums as $photo) {?>
<span><img src="<? echo $photo[1]; ?>" border=0></a><p><?=$photo[0]; ?></p></span>
<? } ?>
The output is:
<span><img src="foto1.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 1 Album 1</p></span>
<span><img src="foto2.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 2 Album 1</p></span>
<span><img src="foto3.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 3 Album 1</p></span>
<span><img src="foto4.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 4 Album 2</p></span>
But i need this:
<div>
<h1>Album 1</h1>
<span><img src="foto1.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 1 Album 1</p></span>
<span><img src="foto2.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 2 Album 1</p></span>
<span><img src="foto3.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 3 Album 1</p></span>
</div>
<div>
<h1>Album 2</h1>
<span><img src="foto4.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 4 Album 2</p></span>
</div>
The idea is bring all the album in my picasa account with their pictures inside, example:
album 1 has:
foto1.jpg
foto2.jpg
foto3.jpg
album 2 has:
foto4.jpg
So on ... That's it i hope someone could help me and understand better my really bad english :)

Answer 1

If you wish to split the output into 'albums' you need to know how to split the array of photos based on which album they should belong to. How are you populating $photo? Is each 'album' going to have only 3 photos in?

Answer 2

here, your homework done for you
<div>
<h1>Album 1</h1>
<? foreach($albums as $photo) {?>
<span><img src="<? echo $photo[1]; ?>" border=0></a><p><?=$photo[0]; ?></p></span>
<? } exit;?>
</div>
<div>
<h1>Album 2</h1>
<span><img src="foto4.jpg" border=0></a><p>This is pict 4 Album 2</p></span>
</div>
note the other answer as well. splitting out which "foto" goes into which album requires more information, this is just an example with html markup so you can understand how the php is fitting in the mix
