Programmatical unordered lists - PHP

Report · Feb 13, 2007

I have this code to write a recordset into adjacent sets of unordered lists,
each containing 5 list elements -

<ul>
<?php $i=0; do { ?>
<li><a href="p7hg_img_1/fullsize/<?php echo
$row_Recordset1['imgsFilename']; ?>_fs.jpg"><img
src="p7hg_img_1/thumbs/<?php echo $row_Recordset1['imgsFilename'];
?>_tmb.jpg" alt="Gallery: Image" title="" width="100" height="67"></a>
<div><?php echo $row_Recordset1['imgsCaption'];
?></div>
</li>
<?php $i++; if ($i==5) { $i=0; echo '</ul><ul>'; } ?>
<?php } while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)); ?>
</ul>

The problem comes when the looper terminates. I am left with a spare
<ul></ul> pair. How can I manage this?

Try something like this:

<?php
$tmplt='<li><a href="p7hg_img_1/fullsize/%s_fs.jpg">'.
'<img src="p7hg_img_1/thumbs/%s_tmb.jpg" alt="Gallery: '.
'Image" title="" width="100" height="67"></a>'.
'<div>%s</div></li>'."\n";
$i=0; do {
if($i%5==0)
print "<ul>\n";
printf($tmplt,$row_Recordset1['imgsFilename'],
$row_Recordset1['imgsFilename'],$row_Recordset1['imgsCaption']);
$i++;
if($i%5==0)
print "</ul>\n";
} while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1));
if($i%5!=0)
print "</ul>\n";
?>

Have you tried it in FF Mac?
If you select a "thumbnail panel", the thumbnails do not appear in the
panel correctly.
In Safari there are only two panels, as opposed to 10 in FF (but they work).
Mozilla Mac is same as FF

Ahh - how curious indeed.

Look at the source from FF. I had commented out a huge part of the
'hardwired' image code from this page -

http://www.wildimages.biz/wi_gallery-wildlife.php

and replaced it with the PHP looper which should only pull 10 images from
the database. You can see the opening comment tag just below the markup for
those 10 images. But for some reason, FF is losing the comment somewhere in
the middle of a line just after the Clarks Grebe with yawning chick image!
I wonder why?

Anyhow, it's academic as I will remove all of that code on the final
page.....

The first two rows of thumbs look to be generated by the PHP code. After
those two, there is an opening comment that is never closed and is
followed by some other <ul>'s that are not generated by the PHP:

</ul>
<!-- <ul>

When FF get's to this:

Clarks-Grebe-with-yawning-chick-rider-Photoshopped-UT-HS00480--01811C_fs.jpg">

It sees the adjacent hyphens and decides to close the comment after the
closing angle bracket for that image.

Actually, the opening comment is closed, but WAY down the page.

So - it's the two adjacent hyphens that is tricking FF? How ... unusual.

Not really. See http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/sgmltut.html#h-3.2.4

In particular, note:

<quote>White space is not permitted between the markup declaration open
delimiter("<!") and the comment open delimiter ("--"), but is permitted
between the comment close delimiter ("--") and the markup declaration
close delimiter (">"). A common error is to include a string of hyphens
("---") within a comment. Authors should avoid putting two or more
adjacent hyphens inside comments.</quote>

I guess, technically, the content between -- and > is not really white
space, the -- *is* still seen as the comment close delimiter. At any
rate, if you remove the commented text, or rename the file with the
double hyphen, it should solve the issue.

Unusual maybe, but correct. See
