I am building a site that has a number of tours. I would like to include a flag for each of the countries the tour travels through.
I previously used:
<?php if ($guided_tourRecord['tour_location'] == 'uk'): ?>
<span>This is some flag html for the uk</span>
<?php elseif ($guided_tourRecord['tour_location'] == 'us'): ?>
<span>This is some flag html for the us</span>
<?php else: ?><?php endif ?>That was fine when I used a pulldown list where you could only select one country. How would I make this list 'if' from the checkboxes multi value list?
Thanks Jono

You can use the same technique from [url http://www.interactivetools.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=74818#74818]this post[/url].
Alternately, if all your countries are going to display the same HTML but with a different IMG SRC URL, you could do something like this to list them all:
<?php foreach (explode("\t", trim($guided_tourRecord['tour_location'])) as $countryCode): ?>
<img src="images/flag_<?php echo htmlspecialchars($countryCode) ?>.gif" />
<?php endforeach ?>I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments.

As you have probably guessed by now I have been building a tour guide site. I am displaying flags with this method for the countries the tour travels through. However, I am running into a little bother when it comes to US states. It's obviously displaying a nice US flag for each state - is there a way to limit the amount of flags listed to 2?
I can supply a url link to you personally if you like??
Thanks Jono.

Can you please post the PHP source code for the page in question?

I took a look at the URL you PMed me and I think I've figured out what you want.
To limit the number of flags displayed, you can add a counter and "break" out of the foreach when your counter gets to a certain number. For example,
<?php $count = 1; ?>
<?php foreach (explode("\t", trim($guided_tourRecord['tour_location'])) as $countryCode): ?>
<?php if ($count > 2) { break; } ?>
<img src="images/flag_<?php echo htmlspecialchars($countryCode) ?>.gif" />
<?php $count++; ?>
<?php endforeach ?>Does that do what you want? Please let me know if you have any questions.
