<?

if(!empty($text1)){

$filename = "text.txt";

    $array  = file($filename); 

$findme=explode(" ",$text1);   

$x=0;
foreach($array as $line)  

    {  

        $found=false; 
        for($j=0;$j<sizeof($findme);$j++) 
        { 
              if(strpos($line, $findme[$j]) !== false)  

              { 
            		$found=true; 
              } 
        } 
        if ($found) 
	        { 
	            $prima=explode("|",$line);  

				echo "<br>";
	            for($i=0;$i<sizeof($prima);$i++) 
	            {  

						if($i<=1){
	              		echo "<a href=#>";
		                echo $prima[$i];
                			}
		                	else{
			                	echo "</a>";
		                	}
	                	$sort[]=$prima[$i];
				 }
	        } 
    }
} 
else { 
   echo "file does not exist"; 
}
}

?>

how to sort the result by lastname ?
and when i click the persons name it will show the entire persons data i mean is it possible ? if yes how can i do that ?
(i cut the result only showing the name.)

thanks

the prob of showing details of a person when the name is clicked can be solved as....
the name is displayed on the screen as..

echo "<a href=details.php?details=" . $line . ">" . $name_of_person . "</a>";

details.php is displaying the contents in the format i want.
$line is the variable that holds the entire line read from the file ... i.e the details of the person.
$name_of_person contains the name of the person as it wud be displayed on the screen.

hope this solves the prob of displaying details.

thanks

so i change the this line

echo "<a href=#>";

with

echo "<a href=details.php?details=" . $line . ">" . $prima[$i]. "</a>";

and the details.php is

if ($line != "")
		{
				echo " working";
		}
		else
		{
				echo "not working";
		}

but the result "not working", any idea
thanks

well details.php wud be getting the details in $GET['details'] so u wud want to do

if ($_GET['details'] != "") 
{ 
       echo " working"; 
} 
else 
{ 
        echo "not working"; 
}

unless ofcourse u've done some thing like

$line = $_GET['details'] ;

putraaridana

ok
well sorry i'm ask bit by bit
it's work but maybe i missed something
the result is only one words

thank you for guiding me this far
regards

PallaviDalvi

am not sure if i understood u... but did u mean to say that the result is now just a word?
well in that case u need to do a bit of checking in ur code. $line (or whatever variable u use as query string to details.php) does that have the correct details u are looking for? before actually posting it to details.php try printing the value.. maybe only one word is present in the variable and so obviously u will get only one word at the other end.
please get back with more info in case i've got ur prob wrong!

ok
i try check the $line like this.

        if ($found) 
	        { 
	            $prima=explode("|",$line);  

				echo "<br>";
	            for($i=0;$i<sizeof($prima);$i++) 
	            {  

  			if($i<=1){
	                   echo "<a href=details.php?details=" .                                      $line. ">" . $prima[$i]. "</a>";
            		    }
            	}
            	echo $line;
	        }

it's show the complete data like this
putra |aridana | student | traveling| bali
why statement 'for' efect $line ?
thanks

well i changed a bit of the code for u.... at my end it wasnt working the way i was expecting it to.

if ($found)  

	{  

		$prima=explode("|",$line);  

   echo "<a href=details.php?details='". urlencode($line)."' >$prima[0] $prima[1]  </a><br>"; 

    }

now it just shows the first 2 details in the file as a link and when user clicks on the link a new page is displayed(details.php) and in this page u can handle the display of the details.
urlencode was done since $line contains spaces and it was creating probs while sending spaces in query string.
hopefully this solves a bit of the prob.
