Reply To: Advanced Data Merge question

Thanks for the ensight on the data file. I had tried to use Excel to perform a more complicated number data file, but ran into a dead end there.

I do have a lot of PHP experience, so I decided to go that route. here's my script:

$total_numbers = 10;

$start_number = 1;

$numbers_per_page = 2;

$pages_per_set = 4;

$fill = 4;

$tn = 1;

while ($tn <= ($total_numbers/$numbers_per_page))

{

$pps = 1;

while ($pps <= $pages_per_set)

{

$npp = 1;

if ($pps <= $pages_per_set)

{

$print_number = $start_number;

}

while ($npp <= $numbers_per_page)

{

$print_number_length = strlen($print_number);

$print_number_fill = ($fill – $print_number_length);

for( $i=0; $i<$print_number_fill; $i++ )

{

$zeros = $zeros.'0';

}

echo “$zeros$print_numbern”;

$print_number++;

$npp++;

unset($zeros);

}

$pps++;

}

$tn++;

$start_number = ($start_number+$numbers_per_page);

}

I hope this helps someone!
