Help with arrays

[Lyise]

Okay, I have no idea how to use arrays really, except what I've learnt in Visual Basic, and Idoubt that PHP is anything like that..

Anyway, I have a list of files in a folder, named "1", "2", etc, and inside them it has information, like "name" and such. Is there a way that I can put the number of the files into an array and the names inside the files, and then sort it by the names inside the files? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Thank you in advance

I looked through that and tried... but it didn't work, could you help me work out what's wrong?

if ($type == "a") {
	$directory = "reviews-anime";
	$areviews = 0;  

	if ($rep = opendir($directory)) {  

	  while ($file = readdir($rep)) {  

	    $ext = substr($file, strlen($file)-4, 4);        

	    if ($ext == ".txt") {          

	    $areviews = $areviews + 1;   

	    }      

	  }     

	  closedir($rep);  

	}

$aleft = $areviews;

if ($srt == "name") {
	while ($aleft > 0) {
		$review="reviews-anime/".$aleft.".txt";
		include($review);
		$anime[$aleft] = $reviewname;
		$aleft = $aleft - 1;
	}
	sort($anime);

	$aleft = 1;

	while ($aleft < $areviews) {
		$review="reviews-anime/".$anime[$aleft].".txt";
		include($review);
		echo($aleft.". ".$reviewname."<br>");
		$aleft = $aleft + 1;
	}
}
}

At the moment, it generates the list, but I can't get the number back afterwards... Can anyone help?

From reading the code I can't see where $reviewname gets a value.

Still, if you have the list in an array so that

$anime[1] contains "name1"
$anime[2] contains "name2" etc

Then to read the array use [man]each[/man] or [man]foreach[/man]

eg

while (list($number, $name) = each($anime)) {
    echo "$number -- $name<br>";
}

//or

foreach ($anime as $number=>$name) {
    echo "$number -- $name<br>";

}

I ended up working it out on my own actually, heh but thanks anyway!

Yes, I'm making an anime and manga review site, with a few of my sites, it's at www.otaku-ai.com but still under heavy construction! The forum's up though, if you wanna join 🙂

Here is my site: http://www.mzanime.com

The music section is temporarily offline, due to the whole Mp3/Piracy thing. :o Anyway, I hope your site turns out well when its finished!
