Oh, gosh! Duh!! How could I forget to add sort()? Thank you so much, xyph and everyone else who helped. I have a few other bugs to work out but it is now alphabetizing!
-
Xyph, your code does not alphabetize. It simply lists the entries in the order they were entered.
-
Xyph, your code returned an error for me. It says "sort() expects parameter 1 to be array, string given" and "Invalid argument supplied for foreach()" What am I doing wrong?
-
Yes it will be more than two lines. I have no idea what they are using for; I haven't been given any more details than what I gave in my original post. I thought a database would be easier too but the boss/clients say it must be a text file.

I am new to PHP so I'm sorry if anything I ask isn't clear. I'm actually a writer, but my boss randomly decided I need to learn PHP so here I am My first project is to take information from a simple HTML form that asks for users to fill out three text boxes, select if they are user 1 or user 2, and upload a file. I then have to store the information in a text file and display that information in the browser directly below the HTML form. The information must be ordered alphabetically by the first letter of whatever is entered in the first text box. Each entry must be on its own line. For example: Person 1 enters: Sally Mae Johnson User 1 Flowers.jpg Person 2 comes along later and enters: George Michael Johnson User 2 books.jpg Right now it displays in the order entered like this: Sally Mae Johnson User 1 Flowers.jpg George Michael Johnson User 2 books.jpg I need it to display in alphabetical order by the first letter of the first name like this: George Michael Johnson user 2 books.jpg Sally Mae Johnson User 1 Flowers.jpg I'm so close, but I just can't figure out how to finish it up. If anyone can help they'd be a life saver! Here's what I wrote so far: <body> <?php $fone = @$_POST["one"]; $ftwo = @$_POST["two"]; $fthree = @$_POST["three"]; $fselect = @$_POST["select"]; if ($_FILES) { $name = $_FILES['upload']['name']; (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'], "uploads/$name")); } //write to the file $values = "$fone\t"; $values .= "$ftwo\t"; $values .= "$fthree\t"; $values .= "$fselect\t"; $values .= "<img src='uploads/$name'><br />\n"; //open and write to the file $fp = @fopen("store.txt", "a") or die("Couldn't open the file!"); $numBytes = @fwrite($fp, $values) or die ("Couldn't write values to file!"); @fclose($fp); ?> <form action="test_it2.php" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> Box 1: <input type="text" name="one" size="15" /> Box 2: <input type="text" name="two" size="15" /> Box 3: <input type="text" name="three" size="15" /> Select One: <select name="select"><option value="empty">Please Select</option><option value="user1">User 1</option> <option value="user2">User 2</option> <p>Upload a File:</p> <p><input type="file" name="upload" /> <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" /> <input type="hidden" name="submitted" value="submitted" /> </p> </form> <?php print "<P>Here are the users:<br />"; $file = "store.txt"; if (file_exists($file)) { $file1 = fopen("store.txt" , "r"); while (!feof($file1)) { $display = fgets($file1, filesize("store.txt")); echo $display . " "; } fclose($file1); } else { echo "<P>Error occured! Please try again!</p>"; } ?> </body> </html>
