Block Builder

// Apologies as this might get long due to being difficult to explain. I am working on a database-driven block builder in PHP. A table called page_blocks contains the id (unique for the block), page_id (relating to which page the block shows on), block_name (can be multiple blocks of the same name, such as standard-content-block etc.), block_order (an integer increasing from 1). I use a function called get_blocks to return all the blocks related to the current page in order by block_order. Then a foreach loop to loop through each block and display them: <?php $blocks = get_blocks(); foreach($blocks as $block) { if($block['block_name'] == 'standard-content-block') { the_element('content', $block['id']); } } ?> While this works as expected, it does not do exactly what I require. The element function utilises a table called block_elements that contains every element for every block (such as 'content' for the standard-content-block above). However, for the function to work I must pass the element name AS WELL AS the block id. Preferrably I would not want to pass the block id in, but for this to be known prior. I have tried something like the below: <?php if(have_block('standard-content-block')) { the_element('content'); } ?> The function have_block sets up a global for that block name which then allows the_element function to no longer need the second argument. have_block works as expected but I cannot find a way to loop through all the blocks in order, and then call each block with this function. I am therefore looking for an experienced PHP coder to come in and to write a couple of functions that would loop through each block from the database, in the order stated by block_order, then use a function like have_block to set-up a global variable for that block to allow for easier usage further down. Willing to discuss further if more clarification is needed, I did say it was difficult to explain! :)
