Hello!
I am new in PHP, and need some help.
I have two files: day1.txt and day2.txt
Each file have 20-100+ lines, and every line include the following information: FINISHING_PLACE:PLAYER_NAME:PLAYER_COUNTRY:PLAYER_POINTS:PERCENT.
Example for day1.txt
202:Player3:Canada:566.35:0.047%
297:Player4:Canada:412.41:0.047%
318:Player1:Canada:366.39:0.047%
400:Player5:Canada:287.20:0.047%
403:Player2:Canada:154.43:0.047%
...
etc
I receive similar file every day with the same data, but players position (finishing place) and player points are different. I want to combine all files, and make overall ranking. E.g. if PlayerX gets 200 points Day1. Then total he have 200 points. If next day he gets another 150 points, then his total points is 350 (200+150 = 350) Why I need that? Its videogame, where lots of player, and need to make Canadian ranking. So, I made PHP array for Day1.txt, which looks like the following:
Array
(
[Player3] => Array
(
[0] => 202
[1] => Player3
[2] => Canada
[3] => 566.35
)
[Player4] => Array
(
[0] => 297
[1] => Player4
[2] => Canada
[3] => 412.41
)
...
etc. array for every player
So, my question is, how I can sum up specific player points from different days (files)? I need it because I want to make overall ranking. Actually players have real name, but to protect innocent and make easier sample, replaced names by Player1, Player2 etc.
