Associative Arrays in PHP Help

cybereclipse

Hello, I'm new to the forums. I need some help on a small php program that I'm writing. I've created an associative array that contains of names and states of private schools in the USA. Here is the code that I have so far.

<?php 
include ("Q04print.php");
 $myarray = array("Andrews" =>"MI","La Sierra" => "CA", "Oakwood" => "AL", "Pacific Union" => "CA", "SOUTHERN" => "TN", "Southwestern" => "TX", "Union" => "NE", "Walla Walla" => "WA", "Washington" => "MD");
  ksort($myarray);
  asort($myarray);
  foreach ($myarray as $x => $y) {
      print "<br />" . $x . " " . $y . "<br />";
  }

?>

Now, I need to create a separate php file, with a function that prints the array showing institutions and states

It will print the function to print the table, in state order (Institution and state)
It will print the function to print the table, in institution order (Institution and state)

I'm still a newbie in php so your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So what's the problem you're having? You've already found [man]asort[/man] and [man]ksort[/man] that will sort the array in the two different ways you've described; and you've already found [man]include[/man] to include the contents of one file in another.

Thanks for your response. On a separate php file, I would like to print the schools in a table in state order. also the institution name order with the state. I have no clue on how to do it.

I don't really know what you mean by print.... I'm guessing you just want to put your data into a <table> and echo it out...?


echo '<table>';
 foreach ($myarray as $x => $y) { 
      echo "<tr><td>" . $x . "</td><td> " . $y . "</td></tr>"; 
  }
echo '</table>';

Not sure if that is what you're looking for.

<?PHP
include ("Q04print.php"); 
$myarray = array("Andrews" =>"MI","La Sierra" => "CA", "Oakwood" => "AL", "Pacific Union" => "CA", "SOUTHERN" => "TN", "Southwestern" => "TX", "Union" => "NE", "Walla Walla" => "WA", "Washington" => "MD"); 

  $stOrd = $myarray;
  asort($stOrd); 
  $inOrd = $myarray;
  ksort($inOrd);



 echo "<pre>".print_r($stOrd,1)."</pre>";
 echo "<br/><hr/>";
 echo "<pre>".print_r($inOrd,1)."</pre>";

?>

see my previous post to add your data to a table.
