Works great. I don't see why my code with salathe's modification didn't work but thanks for fixing the problem. Final code: <?php foreach($episodes as $episode){ $temp289[]=$episode["airdate"]; }; array_multisort($temp289,SORT_ASC,$episodes); ?>

I'm still not getting the right result. The first four results are: 2008-09-23 2008-09-30 2008-10-14 2008-09-16

Hi guys. I have a list of TV show episodes and air dates in the form of $episodes[x]["airdate"]=yyyy-mm-dd but I don't know how to sort the episodes by their air dates. Here is the code I attempted to use to sort by year but it doesn't seem to work. The episode order appears to be basically random. <?php function recordcompare($record1,$record2){ return strnatcmp($record1,$record2); }; usort($episodes,"recordcompare"); ?>

Thank you. I completely forgot that == is the comparison operator. I said it would be a stupid mistake.

I have a really weird problem with some code I wrote: <?php echo file_exists("includes/".$_GET["page"].".inc.php"); if($_GET["page"]=""||!isset($_GET["page"])){ include "includes/main.inc.php"; } elseif(file_exists("includes/".$_GET["page"].".inc.php")){ include "includes/".$_GET["page"].".inc.php"; }; ?> The elseif part does not execute despite the fact that echo file_exists("includes/".$_GET["page"].".inc.php"); returns "1" w/o quotes and the file definitely does exist. I believe it is the $_GET part that is causing the problem because when I do elseif(!file_exists("includes/".$_GET["page"].".inc.php")){ I get the error "Warning: include(includes/.inc.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory" It is probably just a really stupid mistake but I can't figure out is wrong. I would much appreciate any enlightenment you may have to offer.

Try 000webhost. They claim to support the PHP mailing functions.

There is no reason why you shouldn't. It is a useful feature.

I am using PHP to generate a random and unique 5 character, numerical ID. The code I am using is not very efficient as the more ID's are generated the more chance there is of getting more repeat ID's before a unique one is generated so I was wondering if there is a better way. The "Id_exists" function checks a MySQL database if that helps. <?php $Id=rand(10000,99999); while(Id_exists($Id)){ $Id=rand(10000,99999); }; ?>

Here is what I get when I visit a link:

It probably expired. Here is my script currently. <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); $file = file("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=".$_GET["id"]); for ($count=0;$count<count($file);$count+=1) { if (preg_match('/.*?(var swfArgs)/',$file[$count])) { $linestring=$file[$count]; }; }; $url=explode("\"",$linestring); $count=1; while(isset($url[$count])&&!$url[$count]==""){ $vars[$url[$count]]=$url[$count+2]; $count=$count+4; }; echo "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=".$_GET["id"]."&t=".$vars["t"]; //$ch=curl_init("http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=".$_GET["id"]."&t=".$vars["t"]); //curl_exec($ch); //curl_close($ch); ?>

I don't know how long it is valid for but here you go: http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=-xlAyxtEMFk&t=vjVQa1PpcFNIY3tmSkt3E8BtQq2ELdBONL-JtVLCY30%3D

Yes. The URL is correct.

I want to stream a YouTube video through my server to a flash FLV player. What is wrong with this code? I just get a blank page. $ch=curl_init("http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=".$_GET["id"]."&t=".$vars["t"]); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch);

I have an on another server. http://www.example.com/video.flv. I want to parse it streight to the user. Should I use curl or readfile. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks. It works great.

Can anyone tell me how to use wild chars in str_ireplace. I am trying to edit anything that follows the pattern: [NUMBER]F. I really just want to remove some Fahrenheit temperatures from a string.

Actually I managed to work it out. I used str_ireplace. Thanks for your help.

Great, thanks. I was trying that earlier but I didn't realize that you had to put the number down one. Does anyone have any idea to do something along the lines of a find and replace?

I guess this is a lot of questions but it is all for one thing I am trying to accomplish. I basically want to get line 49 from a document on a remote server, save it as a variable then run something like a find and replace on that variable and save it as another variable and echo it. The only code I have so far is: <?php $file = implode('', file('http://server/dir/file.xml')); echo $file ?> Can anyone help me. I'm still quite new to this.

All of them. It's specifically MySQL that I want. If the extensions are .dll then there compiled right? If so then yes.

I can't use extensions with php. The same php.ini file works on other machines with php installed in the same directory. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
