Some help...

[online]

Hello all.
I have a web directory with 2 searches: one that search in directory and one that search in google via api.
I want to create a page with the last 10-20 words that have been search in directory and in google.

Ex.: Last 20 searches: games, name, mail...

[webchef]

should be fairly simple..

add some code to the submit button that takes the value submitted and places it in say a txt file, where every new value input replaces the oldest value.

then create a page that prints these values.

Bumping is frowned upon, and is generally not needed anyway.

Try something like this:

if(file_exists('searches.txt')) {

$searches = file('searches.txt');
$searches[] = "\n" . $search_string; // Replace $search_string with the variable you used.
if(count($searches) > 20) array_shift($searches);
$searches = implode('', $searches);

} else $searches = $search_string;

$fp = fopen('searches.txt', 'w');
fwrite($fp, $searches);
fclose($fp);

This will store up to 20 results in 'searches.txt' (in the same directory as the script), placing newer searches at the bottom of the file and dropping the first line to keep the list at 20 results (if needed).

Now, you can read the file as an array to easily output each term:

 echo 'Last 20 searches: ';
$searches = file('searches.txt');
$list = '';
foreach($searches as $search) {
     $list .= '"'. rtrim($search) . '", ';
}
echo rtrim($list, ', ');

outputs: Last 20 searches: "foo", "bar", "foobar"

etc.
