timestamp maybe?

Anon

I have written a guestbook in php. But I want to get the newest entries on the top of the page. Someone said something about timestamp and synks. Help needed🙂

if you are using sql to do this, add " order by date_column desc" at the end of your sql statement.

If not perhaps you should let us know what how you are keeping the info.

Are you using a database to store the entries?

If you are using SQL, look up ORDER BY ... DESC in the manual.

If not, see http://yelvington.com/annotate.php3 and http://yelvington.com/revannotate.php3

I am not using a database, I`m storing the entries in a log file.

In that case, assuming you are storing the entries on per line, with the most recent entries appended to the end of the file, you could simply read the file into an array, and loop through it backwards:

<?php

$entries = file( '/path/to/file.dat' );

Reads file.dat into the array $entries (1 line per element)

for( $loop = count( $entries ); $loop >= 0; $loop-- )
{
print $entries[$loop] . "\n";

Prints the entire line

}

Hope this helps!
