I was wondering if someone could show me how to convert this Raw PHP code so I can break out of php and style the code a little easier.
I’ve been trying to figure it out for a few hours but can’t seem to get the same results as the raw php.
Here is the RAW php code:
<?php
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/database.php");
$result = array();
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT `id`,`date`,`title` FROM `htp_news` ORDER BY date DESC");
if ($stmt->execute()) {
while ($article = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ)) {
$year = date("Y", strtotime($article->date));
$month = date("F", strtotime($article->date));
$result[$year][$month][] = $article;
}
foreach ($result as $year => $data) {
echo "<h1>" . $year . "</h1>";
foreach ($data as $month => $articles) {
echo "<h2>" . $month . "</h2>";
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($articles as $article) {
echo "<li><a href='htp-news.php?id=". $article->id ."'>" . date("M d, Y", strtotime($article->date)) . " - " . $article->title . "</a></li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
}
}
}
?>
And here is my butchered attempt:
<?php
include_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/includes/database.php");
$result = array();
$stmt = $db->prepare("SELECT `id`,`date`,`title` FROM `htp_news` ORDER BY date DESC");
if ($stmt->execute()) {
while ($article = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ)) {
$year = date("Y", strtotime($article->date));
$month = date("F", strtotime($article->date));
$result[$year][$month][] = $article;
}
?>
<?php foreach ($result as $year => $data): foreach($data as $month => $articles);?>
<h1><?php echo $year ?></h1>
<h2><?php echo $month ?></h2>
<?php endforeach ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($articles as $article):?>
<li>
<?php echo "<a href='htp-news.php?id=". $article->id ."'>" . date("M d, Y", strtotime($article->date)) . " - " . $article->title . "</a>" ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach ?>
</ul>
<?php } ?>
With my attempt I get the following results
