Need help with a block

GanjaUK · Posted: Sun Apr 18, 2004 7:57 am

This is the 1st block I have tried to make, so not sure where it is going wrong. The problem is, when I activate the block, the data for the block comes out fine, but it is above the block, and the actual block itself opens after the data with the message, there is no content for this block right now.

Code:

<?php

if (eregi("block-DaRkSiDeGUK.php",$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
Header("Location: index.php");
die();
}

$parser = xml_parser_create();

xml_parser_set_option($parser,XML_OPTION_SKIP_WHITE,1);

xml_parser_set_option($parser,XML_OPTION_CASE_FOLDING,0);

$data = implode("",file("http://vietnam.bftracks.net/appl/bft/Player/xmlview/39242"));

xml_parse_into_struct($parser,$data,&$d_ar,&$i_ar) or print_error();

echo "Name:";
echo $d_ar[1]['value'];
echo "<br>";
echo "Last Seen Online:";
echo $d_ar[2]['value'];
echo "<br>";
echo "World Ranking Position:";
echo $d_ar[3]['value'];

xml_parser_free($parser);

?>

[/code]

All blocks have to have their output placed in a variable called $content. So, instead of echoing, you need to build the $content variable with the value of your echo statements. Something like this

Code:

$content = "Name:";
$content .= $d_ar[1]['value'];
$content .= "<br>";
$content .= "Last Seen Online:";
$content .= $d_ar[2]['value'];
$content .= "<br>";
$content .= "World Ranking Position:";
$content .= $d_ar[3]['value'];
