Date Sorting From File
I am doing a flatfile calendar, and I need a way to display all activities for a whole year.
Each month has its own file, with the following layout
2003-09-01 Da message 0 // date message priotiry
2003-09-02 Das besked 1
My problem is that I need to somehow get this information and print it out in an order of date. The information is not saved in any order so I need to sort it in my code, My plan was to go through all the files (plain text), and collect the left side in one array and then sort it, then pair the right side with the correct date. Problem is, I don't know how to do that.

Sorting By Date
im trying to sort a fixtures list by date! But obviously it just sorts it by first numbers for example it orders the list by day value and not day and month, i found this code in a previous post : SELECT DATE_FORMAT(date_field, '%W %M %Y')FROM table_name Trouble is i dont really understand. How do i implement that if i want to select all from the table and order it by the date???
Sorting Multiple XML Data By Date
I am making an RSS parser that takes multiple XML inputs in to an array and then sorts them by their date value... and it 'almost' works... I always lose the top value of the second rss feed to be parsed... its pretty annoying as this is often the most recently updated RSS item that is missing from my multi-feed... usort($xmlreader_parsed_data, "rss_cmp"); which calls this function: function rss_cmp($a, $b) { $a = strtotime($a->date); $b = strtotime($b->date); if ($a == $b) { return 0; } return ($a $b) ? -1 : 1; }
Sorting Date Column By Month
I am writing a blog script and on the display end I want to sort the results by month, so there will be a link to each month of the year and then a link to the previous year. I have done a lot of searching for this and come up empty. Can someone help me out with query that will select results for the current month, the previous month and the one before that etc.? And what is the best format to save the date column in? mysql's date format? unix timestamp?

Detecting PDF Files In A Folder And Sorting Them By Date
I am about to write an application that will display all pdf files in a folder and display them by file name in order of date. Is there an easy way of doing this? I was thinking about somehow adding filename and date created in an array, sorting by date and then printing onto an html page with a link to that file. How would I do this though? Is this the simplest method or is there a better way of doin this?

Sorting Fields From A Text File
Is there a way to sort by field when reading text from a flat-file database? I'm looking at some non-database alternatives to store the data for my website, and was considering using text files. For example, lets say I have a text file with four fields (first name, last name, zip code, and e-mail address), which are seperated by a pipeline "|". How would I sort by the last name field (either asc or desc)? I assume I would have to read the contents of the file into an array, and then use one of the array sort functions, but I'm not really sure. Also, is there a way to limit the number of lines shown? I assume this would be pretty easy...maybe by getting the number of lines and then dividing by 10 (or whatever you want the number per page to be).

Get Date From Text/php-file
I'm new to PHP, and i want to create a pop-up (on page load) on certain dates.. What i have is the script for the pop-up: <body scroll="auto" <?php $today =date("d-F"); if ($today==$datum) {echo "onLoad=".$g_birthday_pop;}?>> The pop-script = $g_birthday_pop = <<<EOT "MM_openBrWindow('http://www.nu.nl','popup','width=300,height=300')" EOT; $datum is in another file (include/datum.php): <?php $datum= "30-December"; ?> And this works if the date is 30th of December, but i want it too on other dates that you put in $datum Something like: <?php $datum= "30-December";"10-March"; ?> So i want to control the pop-up just by editing the "datum.php"-file

Finding Date File Created
What function will return the time a file was created? I see filemtime(...) returns the time that file was last Modified and fileatime(...) returns the time that a file was last accessed but what about created?
Displaying Modified Date Of A URL File
I want to display a web page with links to various documents and display the date each document was last modified next to the link. I've found the filemtime command and that works quite nicely for "local" files. However, filemtime doesn't work if the file(s) are refered to by their URLs (which is how I need to do it). A comment on the manual page (http://www.php.net/manual/function.filemtime.php3) refers to having to use "Socket Operations" but the link posted with that comment doesn't work (it just goes to a page saying the website has been rearranged).
Need PHP To Read File Date In Directory
Is there a way to use PHP to read the date of a file that is uploaded into a directory and then print out that date on another page? I'm looking to have a specific file (/texts/filename.pdf) located in the directory and the date of its last change/modification printed into a date("F, n, Y"); format on another page. I checked the PHP manual but couldn't find any date/time functions that were what I needed.
Modified Date For Alternative File
Is there a way to add the last modified date for an alternative file into another one? My problem is that when I use getlastmod it is looking at the date on a file that controls headers/background etc for the page, but not the file that is accessed during modification of the data. Is there any way to add a line of code to get the modified date from the data file?
Date From Form To File, Mail

Date And Filetime Of A HTTP-File
I want to transfer a file from a http-server to another. Well, that goes fine like this: $upload = ftp_put($conn_id, "$destination_file", "$source_file", FTP_BINARY); But I want - before the transfer - to know wether the $source_file exists. More, I want to know and keep its original filetime. I tried with file_exists. Don't work. So don't work fileatime etc. either.

Pulling Date-specific Data From Flat File
I'm almost a complete newbie to using PHP and I was hoping one of you guys can point me in the right direction. I'm working on a site for a brand of handmade fruit juice and it only needs one bit of dynamic content: the info on what fruit is in the juice and where it is coming from (vendor, country etc.) today and tomorrow (the content of the juice is different everyday). So I thought it would be easiest to put that information in a flat file (an Excel file would be ideal but a plain text would do too) on a weekly basis and try to pull out the needed info with PHP. Except I don't know how yet. I don't expect any of you to do the work for me but if someone could point me to which functions of PHP I should do some research on, I'd be most grateful.

Date Is Not Being Pulled From MYSQL Database, Instead Current Date Is Displayed!
I am having trouble pulling a date from a database using PHP at the <a href="http://www.mytuneslive.com/ameshkin69/"> following page.</a> Here is the code. As you can see, it is just making the date the current time. The values in the database are UNIX timestamp, and the DATE() function is used to convert from UNIX to readable date. Can <td width="55%" align="left" valign="top"><?php $row_comment['timestamp'] = date("n d Y g:i A");.....
Read Today's Date Print Tomorrow's Date
I've got a small script that writes a random number and the date to a text file. Then the script opens this text file and if date = date from this text file something must happen. If something happened this script must open this text file again and replace it with a new random number and tomorrow's date. <?php $date = date("d-m-Y"); mt_srand((double)microtime()*10000000000); $num=mt_rand(0, 20); if ($num == $num && $date == "$tomorrowdate") { echo"$num -- $date";} else echo " ";?> So if the script gets activated on the 05-05-2003 it must write tomorrow's date into the text file (06-05-2003). How will I get tomorrow's date today?

PHP Date Question: How To Determine The Date Each Of The Past 3 Sundays
How can I determine what the date was (in YYYY-MM-DD format) last Sunday, and the Sunday before that? For example: Today is Thursday, August 18, 2004 (2004-08-18). I would like to have the following variables: $this_past_sunday = 2004-08-14 $two_sundays_ago = 2004-08-07 $three_sundays_ago = 2004-07-31 etc. etc.
Save Date To Table Field Date Type
I have a calendar picker on a form that fills a text box with XX/XX/XXXX date format. If I run a insert statement the date field in the database shows 0000-00-00. If i change the field type to varchar the correct format displays. What is the correct way to save a date to a mysql database? Furthermore to query on the date how about a select * from db_name where servicedate >= $startdate and servicedate >= $enddate I supose this will not work Any pointers?
Date Dropdown From Mysql Date Entries
For the PHP gurus out there, here is what I want to do: create a dropdown list of available dates from a mysql database date entries. But the dropdown/s should have 3 separate fields in month, day and year which in effect shows only those months, days and years that have corresponding entries from the database. Planning to use this in the archive section of an online news publication so people can select issues to view via dropdown list that have corresponding entries only.
Start Date - End Date = Number Of Days
I have a starting date for var 1 and today’s date for var 2. I need to calculate how many days are between those two dates. 02/24/03(today) - 01/14/2002(start date) = number of days. In theory this is easy but there are many instances were I could get an inaccurate answer. For example one consideration is that some months have 30 days others have 31. exc. My question is, is there an easier way to solve this problem other than using endless if statments to error handle all possible instances? Does PHP4 have any built in functions that could calculate this formula correctly?
UNIX Mktime To MySQL Date Or Date
A form that sends a starting date and an ending date. I have figured out how to tell the difference between the two and even rip the difference into an array because I need to compare the individual dates against a mySQL database to pull results from a particular date in a series. This is no problem. My problem is that teh mySQL database uses DATE as a field definition and this can not be changed. I managed to pull the date differences using some cleaver mktime stuff but no I do not know how to get this 1072242000 into this 2003-12-24... Is there a function that reverses the mktime result into a usable date format? I would take anything at this point and I can explode and then array it to get what I want - but there has to be something. Code:
Formatting Date From MYSQL Date Field
i've got a date field in my table, but the default format is YYYY-MM-DD... is there any way i can pull the date out of the database and format it differently... like DD.MM.YYYY or like April 13, 2003?
Counting Days From $date To Current Date
how to count the time between two variable dates? Such as someone inputting 6/8/1991 in a form and it comparing that to todays date... then getting the number of seconds elapsed... I know I have to use the mktime() function to get the seconds.. but not quite sure how.
Sorting...
I was trying to sort a multi-dimensional array with one dimension being the sorting criteria. I wanted to make it sort by an alternative one if the main one is equal on two entries. However that doesn't work: it sorts properly according to the main criteria, but it won't sort according to the alternative one. I hope you understood what I'm trying to say, since I'm not a native English speaker. Here is my code:
Sorting By Word?
Okay, I am making a member database, and when I print it out I want it to display the list by rank. Unfortantly, I stored Rank as a word. I could make a sort function that would be quite extensive and probably take a long time to execute every time... ..Or, is there anyway I can specify in SQL: Put this on the top of the list if "rank='General'" and then next if "rank='Captain'", and so on? I think if this was possible it would take a lot less time to execute... Or else I will probably have to redesign much of the site with numerical ranks instead. Thanks for any answers/advice.
Sorting Options
I have an array I would like to sort, but the sorting options that I have found are inadiquate. I need to do a case insensitive sort, that does not maintain the index correlation. My problem is I have some items in my array beginning with "a" and some with "A", and I want the sorting based strictly on the letter not the case, and then I have to be able to reference them in an order that maintains the sort.
Sorting Data
Im displaying data from a mysql query that displays a Player, email, id etc.. and I have links that sort the data by player, email, id etc... But Ive seen websites where you click sort and it will sort the data by that and if you click it again it will sort that data this time in descending order. How am I able to have link that will sort the data normally and descending order?
Sorting Strings!
Hi I need to read a .txt file and sort the value, highest firs, lowest last. The .txt file contains the following info on a different row: altavista:joe:5 yahoo:eric:2 disney:dis:4 the firs thing i did was reading the first line and split the code by ":" so that echo $referrer[0] //would give altavista echo $referrer[1] //would give joe echo $referrer[2] //would give 5 I want to sort these lines on the numbers(highest first, lowest last) and print this in a table. How can i do this? so what i would like in a table is this <table> <tr><td> altavista</td><td>5</td></tr> <tr><td> disney</td><td>4</td></tr> <tr><td> yahoo</td><td>3</td></tr> </table> Is this possible anyway?
Sorting An Array
I'm trying to sort a listing of albums alphabetically for LyricsList.com, the problem is that I want the initial 'The' and 'A' in some albums (A Hard Days Night, The Wall) to be ignored. So that the list will look like: Abbey Road Dark Side Of the Moon The Final Cut A Hard Days Night Kill 'em All The Wall ABC order, 'A' and 'The' negated. The info comes from a database, in three calls: // call albums that begin with letter $letter $query = "SELECT * FROM albums WHERE album LIKE '$letter%' ORDER BY album"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); // call albums that begin with letter A $query_a = "SELECT * FROM albums WHERE album LIKE 'a' ORDER BY album"; $result_a = mysql_query($query_a) or die(mysql_error()); // call albums that begin with letter T $query_t = "SELECT * FROM albums WHERE album LIKE 't' ORDER BY album"; $result_t = mysql_query($query_t) or die(mysql_error()); So I need to get just the albums from $result_t that begin with 'The ' (easy regex) and from $result_a that begin with 'A ' (easy regex), but puting the three of them in order is proving beyond my skill. Thanks in advance for any advise.
Sorting Algorithm In Php
the sort() function in php, what kind of sorting algorithm is it? selection sort? bubble sort? insertion sort? if i were to create my own sort, which would be fastest for sorting many string values?
Number Sorting
I have a database from which I extract the top ten rows, dependent on a certain value. However, when two entrys have the same value they get the same placement in the "top ten" thingie. I know I can sort them first by position, then by for example name, but that doesn't do it for me. (1) Printing the values gets me; 1. Malmö 2. Limhamn 3. Jönköping 4. Stockholm 4. Västerås 5. Sjöbo 5. Södertälje 6. Väsby 6. Ystad 6. Örebro (2) The problem is that it SHOULD say; 1. Malmö 2. Limhamn 3. Jönköping 4. Stockholm 4. Västerås 6. Sjöbo 6. Södertälje 8. Väsby 8. Ystad 8. Örebro You see the difference? In (1) "5. Sjöbo" should actually be "6. Sjöbo", since it's the sixth value, cause there are two cities sharing the number 4 spot. The code I'm using; Code: while($row = mysql_fetch_object($result)) { if ($prev_value == $row->name) $i=$i-1; echo $i.". ".$row->city_name." "; $prev_value = $row->name; $i++; }
Sorting By Number

Sorting Numbers
I'm trying to sorting a file in a directory. It works well but it sorts me the number in this way: 1 10 11 2 20 21 .... is there a way to sort in this way? 1 2 3 ... 10 11 12 this is my code: <?php if ($handle = opendir('/home/davide/')) { $files = array(); while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { if (($file != "." && $file != "..") AND (eregi($select,$file))) $files[] = $file; } closedir($handle); sort($files); foreach($files as $file) { $ext = substr(strrchr($file, "."), 1); if ($ext == 'txt') { $idx = str_replace('.txt', '', $file); echo "$idx"; } } } } ?>
Sorting Information
I have a script that completes a mysql query and displays all the information & all works fine The problem im having is that i only want it to display the information i tell it too ie... there are 3 people with an age of 40 and the rest with various other ages, can someone point me in the right direction to get the script to display only those who are 40 & ignore the rest...
