Writing Table Headers with PHPTAL Repeat Key

Writing Table Headers with PHPTAL Repeat Key

Not immediately obvious to me, the PHPTAL manual says:

"Within a loop, you can access the current loop information (and that of its parent for nested loops) using specific repeat/* paths."

This means that instead of writing table header values in the template, you can use the key in your table data.

$sql = " SELECT SUM(hours_regular) AS RT, SUM(hours_overtime) AS OT...

<table> <thead> <th tal:repeat="r results/hours">${repeat/r/key}</th> </tr> </thead+y> <tbody> <tr> <tr> <td class="atc" tal:repeat="r results/hours">${r}</td> </tr> </tbody></table>

PHPTAL manual says:

Within a loop, you can access the current loop information (and that of its parent for nested loops) using specific repeat/* paths.

repeat/item/key : returns the item's key if some/result is an associative resource (index otherwise)

repeat/item/index : returns the item index (0 to count-1)

repeat/item/number : returns the item number (1 to count)

repeat/item/even : returns true if item index is even

repeat/item/odd : returns true if item index is odd

repeat/item/start : returns true if item is the first one

repeat/item/end : returns true if item is the last one

repeat/item/length : returns the number of elements in some/result

"item" depends on the receiver variable defined in tal:repeat expression.
