I need some help with a looping syntax. In english, "a" is used before
words that begin with consonants - "an" is used before words that start
with vowels. I'm trying to create a loop that checks this state and inserts
the correct word in the echo line. Below is the sloppy version of what I'm
trying to do...
<?php
if (substr($table['field'], 0, 1)=="a") OR (substr($table['field'], 0,
1)=="e") OR (substr($table['field'], 0, 1)=="i") OR
(substr($table['field'], 0, 1)=="u") OR (substr($table['field'], 0,
1)=="y") }
echo 'Member has an ' . $table['field'] . ' who is...';
} else {
echo 'Member has a ' . $table['field'] . 'who is...';
}
?>
There's got to a cleaner way to do this. Perhaps using a list or array
containing the vowels and steping through it checking the first letter of
the field contents against each member of the list. But, I don't know how
to code this system. Please help.
Thanx,
Robb
