Re: alphabetical order?

I would do: - Push the arrays for each "squad" into another array for each row. - Sort the multidemensional array with a custom function. - Then print the arrays contents. Timo Am Sonntag den, 15. September 2002, um 11:23, schrieb Chad Winger:

That doesnt really explain much to me unfortunately :( here is what I see in the manual <?php $order = array ($squads[1]); sort ($order); reset ($order); while (list ($key, $val) = each ($order)) {

    echo "order[".$key."] = ".$val."\n";

?> so the array $order is declared, then is sorted. To me that means that I have to declare each fruit in the array. In my array $squads in the example below [0] is id number [1] is team name [2] is stadium and [4] is city. I want to alphabatize only the team name i.e. $squads[1] then after the team name is alphabatized (sorted) then the if...else statement is run ... so this is what i tried <html> <body> <select> <?php include ("C:\Program Files\EasyPHP\www\florentiaviola.com\control\config.php"); $fd = fopen ($teams, "r"); while (!feof ($fd)) { $buffer = fgets($fd, 4096); $squads = explode("|", $buffer);

    $order = array ($squads[1]);
    sort ($order);
    reset ($order);
    while (list ($key, $val) = each ($order)) {

if ($squads[1] == "Florentia Viola") {

    echo '<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="'.$squads[0].'">Florentia

Viola</OPTION>'."\n"; } else {

    echo '<OPTION VALUE="'.$squads[0].'">'.$squads[1].'</OPTION>'."\n";

}

    }

} fclose ($fd); ?> </html> </body> </select> What am I doing wrong?? Thanks again -Tree Jeremy Wilson <jwilson@intravative.com> wrote in message news:000201c25c89$ec2b70a0$4ac23342@intravative.com...

This will also help you http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php -----Original Message----- From: Chad Winger [mailto:cwinger@callistonet.com] Sent: Saturday, September 14, 2002 11:57 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] alphabetical order? If you've read some of my earlier posts, you know I'm a newbie at PHP, so now im stuck at a point, and I'd like to see if anyone has a suggestion. Ok, here is the problem...i have a text file on the server, and in it are listed lines like this: 01|Brescello|stadium|city| 02|Aglianese|stadium|city| 03|Casteldisangro|stadium|city| and the following code is part of a php file that creates a form. <SELECT NAME="home"> <?php include ("C:\path\to\config.php"); $fd = fopen ($teams, "r"); while (!feof ($fd)) { $readlines = fgets($fd, 4096); $squads = explode("|", $readlines);

    if ($squads[1] == "Florentia Viola") {
     echo '<OPTION SELECTED VALUE="'.$squads[0].'">Florentia

Viola</OPTION>'."\n";

    } else {
     echo '<OPTION VALUE="'.$squads[0].'">'.$squads[1].'</OPTION>'."\n";
    }

} fclose ($fd); ?> </SELECT> What is does is create options in a dropdown menu. Right now the outputted HTML would be <OPTION>Brescello</OPTION> <OPTION>Aglianese</OPTION> <OPTION>Casteldisangro</OPTION> Problem is that I would like it alphabatized, like so: <OPTION>Aglianese</OPTION> <OPTION>Brescello</OPTION> <OPTION>Casteldisangro</OPTION> I've done pretty well I think in the few days, i've tried learning this stuff. but i have no idea on where to begin with this problem. ALso, as Im still pretty much a PHP infant, if anyone sees any little things with my code that code be better (i.e. a way to simplify it etc) let me know.
