Reversing an Array

[Anon]

Hi I'm having a little bit of trouble here. First of all, our server is running PHP Version 3.0.15. I have a file in which looks like this...

$author|$title|$time1|$date1

Now, for each line, I grab the contents and stick it in variables like this...

	for($m=1; $m <= $dasize; $m++) {
		list(
		$headlinesauthor[$m], 
		$headlinestitle[$m], 
		$headlinesdate1[$m], 
		$headlinestime1[$m]
		) = split( '[|]', $dafilecontents[$m] );
	}

see the arrays there?

I want to reverse the order of that, seeing that when a new record is added, it's added at the bottom of the file. I have not the slightest idea in the world, I read the array reverse function, but its for php4 only, so that won't help much. Also, I read the arraysort function, but that's a little confusing, and im not using multidimensional arrays here, so yeah...

Could a kind person please help me, I would most appreciate it, thank you.

you have:
for($m=1; $m <= $dasize; $m++) {
list(
$headlinesauthor[$m],
$headlinestitle[$m],
$headlinesdate1[$m],
$headlinestime1[$m]
) = split( '[|]', $dafilecontents[$m] );
}

then do
$iNewIndex = 0;
for ($iIndex = sizeof($headlinesauthor); $iIndex >= 0; $iIndex--) {
$newArray[$iNewIndex] = $headlinesauthor[$iIndex];
$newArray[$iNewIndex] = $headlinestitle[$iIndex];
...
$iNewIndex++
}

This is what I have so far, im not sure if it works, but I was a little confused by your response. What else do i need to add to make this work? Thanks.
