array popping

[djkanebo]

$i=0;
while($i<5)
{
$car = array_pop($array);
for($car as $carID => $score)
{
echo "CARID $carID SCORE $score<BR>";
}
$i++;
}

I have the code as above. I want to pop the five top elements of an array (sorted in descending scores).

The array was set up as follows...

$array[$carID]=$totalScore;

When i run the file, I get the following error...

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_AS, expecting ';' in cbrSearchDetailsProcess.php on line 602

anyone help me?

When popping an array, you pop a VALUE out of the array, not the index.
so your for loop, which should probably be a foreach, is not being passed an array.
$car = array_pop will only return score, not id = score.

what you want to do is this.

$array_r = array_reverse($array);
$i=0;
foreach($array_r as $id => $score){
	if($i < 5){
		print "ID: $id SCORE: $score <br>\n";
		$i++;
	} else {
		break;
	}
}//end foreach
