PHP - Sort

Hey guys,

I have got some events, and got it sorted by date, although at the moment the oldest date is showing first, and I would like to turn that around(new first old last), any simple suggestions?

Also another little question how would I turn a date row (for example 2009/5/31) into Tuesday - May 2009 or something similar, anyone can point me into the right direction?

Is there a way to use sort($Array) on numbers but reverse it. So instead of 1 to 3 itll do 3 to 1 ? AKA descending order?

Can't find a function that would do unless theres a second sort function ?

Thanks

Hello everyone,
This is my first post and i have a question that im sure is easy to answer, im a beginner in PHP and i know how to submit a form and so on into mysql, now my question is, for everything i submit i would like for it to organize by date just like www.WorldStarHipHop.com, but not sure on how to do it. Any Clue? how do i get each indivual form i submit to automatically appear with the correct date untop? and how do i make the date appear untop of each section? Thanks for your time!

Hey, I'm trying to make a script which will match a textbox value against a database, and then sort <=.

I've got this so far;

<input name="search" id="search" type="text">
<input name="year" id="year" type="text">

$search = $_GET['search'];
$year = $_GET['year'];

SELECT * FROM table WHERE MATCH(Place, Land, Yeartime) AGAINST('%$search%' IN BOOLEAN MODE)

SELECT * FROM table WHERE Yeartime <= '%$year%'

This is what I want to accomplish, but the line doesn't seem to work?

SELECT * FROM table WHERE MATCH(Place, Land, Yeartime) AGAINST('%$searsearch%' IN BOOLEAN MODE) AND Yeartime <= '%$year%' ORDER BY Yeartime";

Is there a simple way of sorting data like this?

$string = "
50|1|0|15|1|1~
13|2|0|15|1|1~
50|3|0|15|1|0~
19|1|2|10|0|0~
19|2|2|10|0|0~
22|4|2|10|0|0~
22|3|2|10|0|0~
19|5|2|10|0|0~
1|6|2|10|1|0~
19|6|1|10|1|1
";

I treat this data as a string, and create an array out of it as follows:

$individuals = explode("~", $string);

Then I can divide up each individual as follows:

foreach ($individuals as $individual)
  {
  $individual = explode("|", $individual);
  }

How can I write something that sorts this data by $individual[0], $individual[1], and $individual[2], respectively and in that order??  After sorting I should get the following:


$string = "
1|2|10|0|0~
13|2|0|15|1|1~
19|2|1|10|0|0~
19|5|2|10|0|0~
19|6|1|10|1|0~|
19|6|2|10|1|1~
22|3|2|10|0|0~
22|4|2|10|0|0~
50|1|0|15|1|1~
50|3|0|15|1|0
";

Help?  I have no idea how to write such a function.  Thank you guys.

SELECT domains_url, SUBSTRING(domains_url, 1, 1) AS letter
FROM a
INNER JOIN domains ON a_domain=domains_id
ORDER BY letter ASC, domains_url ASC

when I use this it will sort like   hello-world.co.uk hello-zulu.co.uk hello.co.uk   but I am hoping to get the hello first,   any ideas please?

Im petty new to php, so if you choose to help me please explain it like I was 5

What I am trying to do is this (short version)

I have af form from which I can mail users from my DB.
This form has a dropdown for which users I want to email.

Lets say:

All
Group2+3
Group1
Group2
Group3

When hitting Submit you are taken to "send.php"

As for now I have this:
Code: [Select]
<?php

include "config.php";
$link = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpasswd) or die("Couldn't establish connection");
mysql_select_db($dbname);

$gruppe = $_REQUEST['gruppe'];

// Running the MySQL query
if($_REQUEST['password'] == "something")
{
$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM medlemmer WHERE tilknytning = '$gruppe'");
//$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM medlemmer");
// Pulling up the results and iterating through them
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($results)) {
// Emailing each member

$ToEmail = $row->email; 
$EmailSubject = "BGA Nyhedsbrev"; 
$mailheader = "From: BGA\n"; 
$mailheader .= "Reply-To: noreply@bga.dk\r\n"; 
$mailheader .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY = " <H2>BGA Nyhedsbrev</H2><br>"; 
$MESSAGE_BODY .= "".nl2br($_POST["mailtekst"])."<br>"; 
mail($ToEmail, $EmailSubject, $MESSAGE_BODY, $mailheader) or die ("Failure");
} 
mysql_query($query) or die("Nyhedsbrev udsendt med succes!<br><br><a href='nyhedsbrev.php'>Tilbage</a>");

}
if ($query)

{
echo "Nyhedsbrev udsendt med succes!<br><br>";
echo "<a href='nyhedsbrev.php'>Tilbage</a>";
   }

  else

  {

  echo "Password ikke udfyldt eller opgivet forkert !!!";

  }
?>
This is ONLY woking for individual groups, when I want to email 2 or more groups I dont know what to do?

I think I have to use arrays but I am not sure at all.

Hi all   Going to try and explain this as best as I can.   I currently have a query that sorts a list of records by number of points, then wins, 2nd places, 3rd places etc, the query is as follows  

SELECT  COUNT( `points` ) AS `rides`, SUM( `points` ) AS `pts`, SUM(IF(`points`=3,1,0)) AS `wins`, SUM(IF(`points`=2,1,0)) AS `2`,
SUM(IF(`points`=1,1,0)) AS `1`, SUM(IF(`points`=0,1,0)) AS `0`,  rider_name
FROM tbl_heat
WHERE card_id = 38
GROUP BY `rider_name` 
ORDER BY pts DESC, wins desc, `2` desc, `1` desc, `0` desc
LIMIT 8

  this query has resulted in this result   '5','15','5','0','0','0','Jaroslaw Hampel'

Hello,

i have a user entering dates in the format

DD-MM-YYYY --> 11-12-02

when i try to sort by DESC [nearest date first] i am getting sort problems for example i'll get this..

11-12-02
12-07-02
13-08-02

whats the best way to sort this to get the dates correct?

Why does krsort return the array as "1"?

Code: [Select]
$m = array('34' => 1122, '6' => 1944, '9' => 1710);
print_r($m); //outputs: Array ( [34] => 1122 [6] => 1944 [9] => 1710 )
print_r(krsort($m)); //outputs: 1

What i need is the output to be

Array ( [6] => 1944 [9] => 1710 [34] => 1122)

Hey,

I have the following two arrays, of which I want to use bits of each from to get another array.
Array 1:
Array

        (
            [SUM(item_price)] => 4.49
            [item_shop] => 7
        )

)


I'd love if anyone could tell me how I can generate an array that will combine bits of these two arrays, so that using the first array I can get a shop_name and shop_district for each item_shop (aka shop_id).  Then I want to get an array with entries that look something like this:
    [0] => Array
        (
            [SUM(item_price)] => 31.23
            [shop_name] => Aldi
            [shop_district] => 6
        )

Thanks so much for your help, it means a lot to me.

Hi freaks,

Got a simple one for ya, I THINK?

I have a multi-array that resembles this..
Code: [Select]
$_SESSION["book_array"] = array(0 => array("plantID" => $plantID, "botanicalName" => $botanicalName, "commonName" => $commonName, "use" => $use));

I would like to sort it by the botanicalName key of the inner array before I call the forech loop that renders the display so that after it renders the table the items will be seen alphabetically, code below..
Code: [Select]
<?php 
$bookOutput = "";
//$plant_use_array = '';
if (!isset($_SESSION["book_array"]) || count($_SESSION["book_array"]) < 1) {
    $bookOutput = '<tr><td colspan="4"><h6>Your Book is EMPTY!</h6></td></tr>';
} else {
// Start the For Each loop
$i = 0; 
    foreach ($_SESSION["book_array"] as $each_item) { 
$plantID = $each_item['plantID'];
$botanicalName = $each_item['botanicalName'];
$botanicalName = stripslashes($botanicalName);
$commonName = $each_item['commonName'];
$commonName = stripslashes($commonName);
$use = $each_item['use'];
//$x = $i + 1; 
// Dynamic table row assembly
$bookOutput .= "<tr>";
$bookOutput .= '<td><a href="plant_details.php?plantID=' . $plantID . '" id="bodyLink">' . $botanicalName . '</a></td>';
$bookOutput .= '<td>' . $commonName . '</td>';
$bookOutput .= '<td><strong>' . $use . '</strong></td>';
$bookOutput .= '<td><form action="book.php" method="post"><input name="removeBtn" type="submit" value="Remove"/><input name="index_to_remove" type="hidden" value="' . $i . '" /></form></td>';
$bookOutput .= '</tr>';
$i++; 
    } 
}
?>

Any help would be much appreciated!  Thanks in advance.
