PHP - Array_multisort With A Variable Amount Of Arrays

I am using a multiple array with the layout:
userarray['score'][00]
userarray['id][00]
userarray['name'][00]
etc
where the first column contains properties and the second column is the number for each user (shown as 00). After putting the data into the array, I want to sort the array by the score with the highest at the top. I have used the code:
array_multisort($userarray['score'], SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC);
but it seems to sort the 'score' column while leaving the other columns in the original order. Obviously I want all the rows to remain related to each other.

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I have this problem I really hope someone can help me with. I have a variable that stores several arrays. The content of the variable is as follows:

Code: [Select]
print_r(array_values($array));

Array (
[0] => Value 0)
[1] => Value 1)
[2] => Value 2)
[3] => Value 3)
)
Array (
[0] => Value 4)
[1] => Value 5)
[2] => Value 6)
[3] => Value 7)
[4] => Value 8)
)
Array (
[0] => Value 9)
[1] => Value 10)
[2] => Value 11)
[3] => Value 12)
[4] => Value 13)
)
Is there a way to join this multiple arrays into a single array? I do not need to keep the Key, as all of the values contains text that I only want to sort with sort();. If I sort it like this, it will only come out as a,b,c,d - a,b,c,d, not a, a, b, b, c, c, d, d and so forth.

The php script that creates this array is as follows:

Code: [Select]
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($run_mysql_query)){;

$models = $row['text_value'];
$attribute1 = $row['attribute1'];
$attribute2 = $row['attribute2'];

$array = explode(',', $models);

foreach($array as &$value) {
    $value = $row['varchar_value'] . " - " . $value . " - " . $attribute1 . " - " . $attribute2;
}

I will appreciate any help!

I'm having troubling with trying to create a function to spit out a single array with the following array. I can write it in a away that looks through the arrays manually. 

the results i am trying to generate is that each item in generated array.

Array to convert

array(
    "account" => array(
        "login",
        "register",
        "logout",
        "edit",
    ),
    "p" => array( 
        "report",
    ),
    "array1.0" => array( 
        "array2.0" => array(
            "array3.0",
            "array3.1
        ),
        "array2.1",
    ),

generating the array will look like this

 

Array ( 
[0] => account 
[1] => account/login 
[2] => account/register 
[3] => account/logout 
[4] => account/edit 
[5] => p 
[6] => p/report 
[7] => array1.0 
[8] => array1.0/array2.0
[9] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.0
[10] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.1
[11] => array1.0/array2.1

)

The idea is that id generates a single array with combined labels and arrays inside, etc. I just can't figure out how to create a script that will create this array even If I add a new value or array. 

 

I have this thing that i am trying to make but i cant get it to work.. can anyone help?

I have a field in my database called description. How can I echo out only 500 out of the 2000 max characters?

Like for example:

Code: [Select]
$query = mysql_query("SELECT description FROM `servers` ORDER BY votes DESC LIMIT 5");

If I were to echo out the value of description for the database, how can I only echo out the first 500 characters?

Hey quick question on my homepage there is a featured content section, which is populated from my DB some of the posts are really long so I would like to limit the amount of text. how can I do this?  also is there a way to make sure if does not cut a word in half?

thanks

Okay, I have a healing spell that allows people to regain stats when it's cast. But, how do I limit it so that they can't go over their maxhp?

Here's what I have so far:


$db->execute("UPDATE `users` SET `hp`=?, `mp`=?, `energy`=? WHERE `id`=?", array($player->hp + $healspell, $player->mp - $spell['mp'], $player->energy - $spell['energy'], $player->id));


What do I need to do in this to tell it to limit it to the maxhp but never going over it? $healspell is a random number, so it is quite possible to go over the maxhp at the moment.

Thank you!

Hi All,

Im new to this forum but think its going to be a regular location for me for quite a while.

Im very very new to php and the guy that was doing code for me is not responding to emails, so i thought id have a go myself...lol
at the moment im going through the trial and error phase while learning.

I have edited some of the code he has put on the site to create a new look.
the original page: http://www.ridersguide.co.uk/county_accommodation.php?county=4;
the one im trying:http://www.ridersguide.co.uk/county_accommodation2.php?county=4;

The new bit is to add a preview of the text for the page.

echo $row[ad_text];
the code above brings up all the text but i only want to show the first 4 or 5 lines. Is this possible in php?

Any help appreciated

Neil

Hi, I have a database where I store times with the Now(); function.

What I want is:
When the viewer looks at the post, instead of it saying: Posted: 2010-11-14 19:08:14,
I want it to say posted: x hours ago, Posted: x days ago, etc.

Any help with this would be appreciated!

So I wrote this piece of code that for the most part works. The problem is two things. One if I print out say $dir[$i] I get 7 directories back. if I try and store that in an array to later be access by some other function I get up to 24+ C's instead of C:/Path...

Code: [Select]
public function aisis_get_dir_array($dir){

if(!is_array($dir)){
aisis_get_dir($dir);
return;
}

$count = count($dir);
for($i = 0; $i<$count; $i++){
if(!is_dir($dir[$i])){
_e('Specified dir' . $dir[$i] . 'is not a directory.');
}

$this->directory_list = $dir[$i]; //store these

$handler = opendir($dir[$i]);
while($file = readdir($handler)){
if($file != "." && $file != ".."){
$this->files[] = $file;
}
}

}

return $this->files;
}

right under the line: $this->directory_list = $dir[$i]; //store these if You put in echo $dir[$i] you get back directories.
How ever down in this function:

Code: [Select]
public function load_if_extentsion_is_php($dir, $array = false){
$list = array();
$list_dir = array();

if($array == true){
$list = $this->aisis_get_dir_array($dir);
$list_dir = $this->directory_list;
}
else{
$list = $this->aisis_get_dir($dir);
}

$count = count($list);
for($i = 0; $i<$count; $i++){
if($array == true){
$countdir = count($this->directory_list);
for($j = 0; $j<$countdir; $j++){
echo $list_dir[$j];
//echo $list_dir[$j];
//echo $list[$i];
}
}
//if(substr(strrchr($list[$i],'.'),1)=="php"){
//echo $list[$i];
//require_once($dir . $list[$i]);
//}
}

}

echoing out: echo $list_dir[$j]; gets you up to 24+ C's instead of the directories that are stored.

You can view the whole class at  Paste bin - there is an expiry: 12 hours.

Essentially you call load_if_extentsion_is_php($dir, $array = false) pass it an array of directories and set the array part to true.

To Summarize:

If you pass in an array of directories you should get back:

a echoed list of directories
a echoed list of php files belonging in those directories.

Currently you get the later and a series of C's for  the first.

Why?

Hi, i have a folder with thumbnails and original big pictures of the thumbnails, i wanna make it so that the max amount of thumbs that can be displayed on one page would be 3

Code: [Select]
<body>
<div id=head></div>
<div id=main>
<?php include("loadimages.php") ?> //<- here i take all the thumbnails that are in my thumb folder
</div>
<div id=foot></div>
</body>

i have 5 thumbnails, it displays all of them in the "main" div, i wanna add an "Next" and "Previous" buttons, i mean, i want it to show only 3 thumbs at one time, once u click "next" it would remove the first 3 thumbs and load the other 2 thumbnails..

heres a pic maybe it will explain better of what im trying to do..

Hey Guys,

I'm looking to echo a large amount of complicated text that includes a lot of symbols, such as this:

Code: [Select]
V\"`'8\"`%n\"`)*$6A`!K!`2D\"`-t\"`!8\"`,?$`!1#D`\"i!`&2%` 9!`$S\"`#C)`# \"`\">\"7`)Q$`+Y\"C`!B!`%2\"`(e\"`($-`&M(`&C#F`$Q$`-P(`$P\"`#Q-`\"A\"`$CA`1e1` 5(`2GC0%2`&x!`'\"#`,i$`%D\"77`\"W!`%K!`$A.`/q+`(V\"`!J\"`,/\"`//%6E`$:#`.%)`\"u!`.d&`,K$`&F#`#V%`!z%`#2\"` &\"`&0!`3.&`2V%`)#+`\"t\"`.,\"` E!`(m&`3P(7`%l*`#q\"`-Q!`(#\"`&#1`1)\"` kC`#P+`$I2`-#\"`3<66`0H!`,|&6`#d#`$}.
Can anyone shed some light as to how I would be able to echo the above without having to backlash all the clashing symbols and preferably without having to include an external file?

All your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi guys,

Im a newb here, so bear with me! Still learning the ropes.

I want to delete all files from my server that are 6 hours old since being uploaded to the site. I believe i need a cron job? I currently have this script in its framework...

Code: [Select]
<?php

//time interval for deletion to occur...
$x = 30;

//timestamp
$current_time = time();

//the file you wish to delete
$file_name = 'file.txt';

//timestamp
$file_creation_time = filemtime($filename);

//extract difference
$difference = $current_time - $file_creation_time;

//if difference = $x...then delete file
if ($difference == $x) {
unlink($file_name);
}

Would that work automatically or would it need a cron to run it?

And how could i test it, that bit worries me.

Many thanks.
