array loops

@NogDogNov 11.2006 — #Well, an array is simply a variable for storing multiple data elements (either scalar values or other arrays), so to your literal question: no. I suspect, howver, that there's more to your question than that, so if you'd care to explain further what it is you want to do, maybe we can come up with a solution.

@pcthugNov 11.2006 — #Not exactly a very good coding practice, but you could store the results (i.e. function callback) of a while loop:

[code=php]
 function myFunction($arg)
 {
 while($arg)
 {
 echo 'Hello, World!';
 }
 }
 
 $myVariable = myFunction(1);
 
 $myArray = array($myVariable);
 [/code]

@HellgYNov 11.2006 — #You could store the code of a dynamically created while loop in a variable, and then eval() it in order to execute the loop

@The_Little_GuyauthorNov 11.2006 — #I was thinking something along these lines:

[code=php]<?php
 function bb2html($strInput)
 {
 $arrBbcode = array
 (
 '/[B](.+?)[/B]/i',
 '/[I](.+?)[/I]/i',
 '/[U](.+?)[/U]/i',
 '/[H1](.+?)[/H1]/i',
 '/[H2](.+?)[/H2]/i',
 '/[H3](.+?)[/H3]/i',
 '/[H4](.+?)[/H4]/i',
 '/[H5](.+?)[/H5]/i',
 '/[H6](.+?)[/H6]/i',
 '/(.+?)[/quote]/i',
 '/[url=(.+?)=(.+?)](.+?)[/url]/i',
 '/[FE]/i',
 '/[/FE]/i',
 '/[E=(.+?)]/i',
 '/[N=(.+?)]/i',
 '/[S=(.+?)]/i',
 '/[SEN=(.+?)]/i',
 '/[M=(.+?)=(.+?)]/i',
 '/[IMG=(.+?)=NL]/i',
 '/[IMG=(.+?)]/i',
 '/[L1=(.+?)](.+?)[/L]/i',
 '/[L2=(.+?)](.+?)[/L]/i',
 '/[L3=(.+?)](.+?)[/L]/i',
 '/[L4=(.+?)](.+?)[/L]/i',
 '/[L5=(.+?)](.+?)[/L]/i',
 );
 $arrHtml = array
 (
 '<strong>$1</strong>',
 '<em>$1</em>',
 '<u>$1</u>',
 '<h1>$1</h1>',
 '<h2>$1</h2>',
 '<h3>$1</h3>',
 '<h4>$1</h4>',
 '<h5>$1</h5>',
 '<h6>$1</h6>',
 '<blockquote>$1</blockquote>',
 '<a class="$1" href="$2">$3</a>',
 '<form action="user_email.php" method="post">',
 '</form>',
 '<input type="text" name="email" size="$1">',
 '<input type="text" name="name" size="$1">',
 '<input type="text" name="subject" size="$1">',
 '<input type="submit" name="submit" value="$1">',
 '<textarea cols="$2" rows="$1" name="message"></textarea>',
 '<img src="user_images/user_thumbs/$1">',
 while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){
 '<img src="user_images/user_thumbs/$1">',
 }
 '<a class="$1" href="user_index.php">$2</a>',
 '<a class="$1" href="page2.php">$2</a>',
 '<a class="$1" href="page3.php">$2</a>',
 '<a class="$1" href="page4.php">$2</a>',
 '<a class="$1" href="page5.php">$2</a>',
 );
 return preg_replace($arrBbcode, $arrHtml, $strInput);
 }
 ?>[/code]

in reality If I don't have to do this, it probably would be awsome.

What I need to do is get the image and determine whether it is a link to a larger image or a link to a URL, so everytime they type in:

[IMG=imagename.jpg] it will automatically pace the <a href="">around the image with the correct link.
