Thank you, once again, dg. Could not get it to work... whatever...
But I did find an unexpected solution which made things very simple.
This is the part for the categories section:
if ( isset( $book_categories[$bookID] ) ) {
foreach ( $book_categories[$bookID] AS $categoryID ) {
if ( isset( $category[$categoryID] ) ) {
*$catvar = array_values($category[$categoryID]);
$cat = $catvar[1];*
$catn = preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]/", "", $cat);
echo "<a href='categories/", $catn, ".php'>", $cat,
"</a> ";
}
}
}
Because the array had keys that had various ids [number] and the value
was [category], I could not extract the category. By reassigning the
array I reset the key/value to [0] and [1]. That's in this, as above:
$catvar = array_values($category[$categoryID]);
$cat = $catvar[1];
The rest was a piece of cake. :-) 8-)
