The first parameter will contain the data, the second the size of the heading. Example:</p> <code>echo heading('Welcome!', 3);</code> <p>The above would produce: <h3>Welcome!</h3></p> <h2>ol() and ul()</h2> <p>Permits you to generate ordered or unordered HTML lists from simple or multi-dimensional arrays. Example:</p> <code> $this->load->helper('html');<br /> <br /> $list = array(<br /> 'red', <br /> 'blue', <br /> 'green',<br /> 'yellow'<br /> );<br /> <br /> $attributes = array(<br /> 'class' => 'boldlist',<br /> 'id' => 'mylist'<br /> );<br /> <br /> echo ul($list, $attributes);<br /> </code> <p>The above code will produce this:</p> <code> <ul class="boldlist" id="mylist"><br /> <li>red</li><br /> <li>blue</li><br /> <li>green</li><br /> <li>yellow</li><br /> </ul> </code> <p>Here is a more complex example, using a multi-dimensional array:</p> <code> $this->load->helper('html');<br /> <br /> $list = array(<br /> 'colors' => array(<br /> 'red',<br /> 'blue',<br /> 'green'<br /> ),<br /> 'shapes' => array(<br /> 'round', <br /> 'square',<br /> 'circles' => array(<br /> 'ellipse', <br /> 'oval', <br /> 'sphere'<br /> )<br /> ),<br /> 'moods' => array(<br /> 'happy', <br /> 'upset' => array(<br /> 'defeated' => array(<br /> 'dejected',<br /> 'disheartened',<br /> 'depressed'<br /> ),<br /> 'annoyed',<br /> 'cross',<br /> 'angry'<br /> )<br /> )<br /> );<br /> <br /> <br /> echo ul($list);</code> <p>The above code will produce this:</p> <code> <ul class="boldlist" id="mylist"><br /> <li>colors<br /> <ul><br /> <li>red</li><br /> <li>blue</li><br /> <li>green</li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> <li>shapes<br /> <ul><br /> <li>round</li><br /> <li>suare</li><br /> <li>circles<br /> <ul><br /> <li>elipse</li><br /> <li>oval</li><br /> <li>sphere</li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> <li>moods<br /> <ul><br /> <li>happy</li><br /> <li>upset<br /> <ul><br /> <li>defeated<br /> <ul><br /> <li>dejected</li><br /> <li>disheartened</li><br /> <li>depressed</li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> <li>annoyed</li><br /> <li>cross</li><br /> <li>angry</li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> </ul><br /> </li><br /> </ul> </code> <h2>nbs()</h2> <p>Generates non-breaking spaces (&nbsp;) based on the number you submit. Example:</p> <code>echo nbs(3);</code> <p>The above would produce: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <h2>br()</h2> <p>Generates line break tags (<br />) based on the number you submit. Example:</p> <code>echo br(3);</code> <p>The above would produce: <br /><br /><br /></p> </div> <!-- END CONTENT --> <div id="footer"> <p> Previous Topic: <a href="form_helper.html">Form Helper</a> · <a href="#top">Top of Page</a> · <a href="../index.html">User Guide Home</a> · Next Topic: <a href="security_helper.html">Security Helper</a> <p> <p><a href="http://www.codeigniter.com">Code Igniter</a> · Copyright © 2006 · <a href="http://www.pmachine.com">pMachine, Inc.</a></p> </div> </body> </html>
