PHP Help Needed
 

So I am trying to spruce up my image mod mirror page... I am running into problems with trying to sort the files to be in alphabetical order (and hopefully be able to include options to sort in other methods as well). No, I am not going to write this to use a database. It does not sort properly, and I have no idea how to make it do so. Yes, there is a lot of theoretical code commented out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif The sorting portion begins at this like:

// Sorting that doesn't work. :'S

Here is the code:

http://imagemod.spaceempires.net/indexmda.txt

And here is the script running:

http://imagemod.spaceempires.net/indexmda.php

Will check now.

Edit1:

This is an included file, right.
As I get errors for missing definition of index, numitems, full etc....

Will check further..

Edit2:

Copying the script to my server and the files in the directory (to be sorted) and removing inclusions of header and footer, gives too many errors to even start debugging.
If I'll dig into I ought to have more...
I'll skip all else and just look at the sorting.

I don't get any errors about missing definitions... that, and I don't think it is necessary to explicitly define variables separately to just using them in PHP.

The file is not included in anything.

Note how there are no errors when it is running under a Linux environment (on the se.net server)...

Re: PHP Help Needed
 

Ok, then I can't explain all the errors.
Anyway, this sorts the names right It seems;

test

http://pbw.ath.cx/sort.php


And that's kind of strange as I haven't altered anything significant.
Can it be the multiarray that messes things up??

Edit: Ahh, I run win server...

Re: PHP Help Needed
 

Sorting a normal array is not a problem. I could just call the asort() function if that were the case. The problem is in sorting a 2D array.

Re: PHP Help Needed
 

What I've done is to define filenames[array] at the same time as Filearray in the beginning.
And started the counter at 1 instead of zero.

As this work I can't be of any help in rooting out your problem, sorry.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">That does not work, because each filename has 4 other variables that go along with it that must be kept lined up. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, that's what I meant with Multiarray, instead of simple array, my own vocabulary I guess....

How about making a simple 1D array also with only filenamess, and then sort that and let the multiarray (2D) follow in the sorting at the same time;

Define multiarray[1..10][1..10]
filenames_only[1..10]

Sort:
If filename[1]>Filename[2]
{
max=[1]
}

loop it and sort it
{
first filename is filename[max]
first multiarray is multiarray[max]
}


?
