PHP - Array Sorting Issue

I am looking for information on how to accomplish this:

I want to order an array based on a variable. I have an array that is set like this array(1,2,3,4,5,6).
I want to order this array base on a variable that will be in the array.
So say my variable $x = 3, I want to order the array starting with the number right after the $x. So the array would look like this now array(4,5,6,1,2,3). Is this even possible?
Another example if $x = 6, The array would be array(1,2,3,4,5,6). So basically order the array so that the set variable (in this case $x) will be at the end and the rest will run in order.

The following code works, but I need to take it a step further and I'm not sure how. What I'd like to do is sort the output so the highest point totals get printed first (along with the associated information). Can anyone help?

Here's the site:

http://www.beat-the-spread.net/seasontotals.php


Here's the code:
Code: [Select]
$i=1;
$w=1;
$result = mysql_query( "
SELECT team_name, owner
FROM teams" );
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>\n",
"</td><td>",
$row['owner'],
"</td><td>",
$row['team_name'];

$result1 = mysql_query( "
SELECT bye, owner_pts
FROM schedule
WHERE team = $i");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result1);

while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{

$totalpts = $totalpts + $row1['owner_pts'];

if (empty($row1['bye']))
{
echo "</td><td>", $row1['owner_pts'], "</tr>\n";
}
else
{
echo "</td><td>","0","</tr>\n";
}

}

while ($num_rows<=16)
{
echo "</td><td>","","</tr>";
$num_rows++;
}

echo "</td><td>","$totalpts","</tr>";
$totalpts=0;
$w++;
$i++;
}

echo "</table>\n";

mysql_close($con);


Thanks!

i have an array from a database that looks like this (below) but what i want is for the array to be sorted assedningly by the start position

so the team with start position 1 will be 1st and so on...if anyone can help me on what i should do please...thank you

Code: [Select]
Array

    [1] => Array
        (
            [team_name] => A Team
            [team_nationality] => British

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi - I'm modifying some PHP code that someone else wrote. Below is a snippet of code that basically takes mp3 files files within all the folders in a directory, and creates an RSS feed. In the resulting feed, the files are intermingled in date order.

Instead, I'd like them sorted by the directory that they are in. So, if there are files in these directories:

01-First
02-Second
03-Third

I'd like all the files in the "01-First" directory to come before the "02-Second" directory and so on. Within each directory the files can be sorted as they currently are.  The name of the directory in the code is signified by $dir_name.

I tried sort() and array_multisort() but I couldn't get either of them to work the way I wanted.  Any thoughts?


if ($url_params['mode'] == 'rss2') {

print getRSSHeader('UTF-8', $device, $vm_config, $vm_name, $web_master, $logo_image,$context);
    $mailboxes = array();
if ($dev_dir = @opendir($VMHome . $device)) { //might fail if mailbox has not received first message yet
while ($f = readdir($dev_dir)) {
     if (!eregi("tmp","$f") && !eregi("\.+","$f") && !eregi("Exclude-From-CD", "$f")) { //skip tmp directory and Exclude-From-CD Directories   
     array_push($mailboxes,"$f"); #collect all existing mailboxes
     }
  }
     array_multisort($mailboxes, SORT_DESC);
foreach ($mailboxes as $mailbox) {
$files=array();
$dir_name = $VMHome . $device . '/'. $mailbox .'/'; 
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
while ($f = readdir($dir)) {
  if (eregi("\.txt",$f)){ #if filename matches .txt in the name
     array_push($files,"$f"); #push into $files array
  }
}
foreach($files as $file){
   $props = getProperties($dir_name, $file);
   $uid = getMP3File($dir_name, $file, $props, $device, $mailbox, $vm_config, $vm_name,$context);
   print getRSSItem ($props, $uid, $dir_name, $device, '/' . $mailbox . '/', $context);      
}
}
}
print  '
</channel>
</rss>';
}
