using template in a loop

[techu]

I am trying to making a new page in mybb. I am new to this so i am not sure how to use template in a loop.

Code:

while($var = $db->fetch_array($query)) { echo $var[gid]."<br/>"; echo $var[name]; }

---

The above code obviously works.. and it returns something like:

Quote:1 name
2 name2

but if I do:

Code:

while($var = $db->fetch_array($query)) { eval("\$group_bit= \"".$templates->get("social_group_bit")."\";"); }

---

And the template code is:

Code:

{$var[gid]}<br/> {$var[name]}

---

In this case it returns the only last value  that is:

Quote:2 name2

I am not sure how to use the templates in this case properly.

Of course, because you're using =, you're overwriting the variable on each loop cycle.
Consider

PHP Code:

$a = 1; $a = 2;

---

The first line may as well not be there because it's overwritten by the second.

You probably want to use the string concatenation operator (.=) not the assign operator (=).

I knew that the value is getting overwritten but not sure how to solve it.

Using (.=) in eva ("\$group_bit .= \"".$templates->get("social_group_bit")."\";"); worked nicely..

Thanks..
