php blog simpe problem help needed

[danielandlisa]

Hi guys, im currently learning php and have managed to make php flatfile blog, i only got one problem that i like to show the newest message on top of the page right now the new messages display at the bottom.

Iknow mysql is ab tter solution for php but this have to be done so i hope you guys can help me. I display the code below. I guess the code for displaying the newest message first should be in post.php?

 

blog.php

 

<?

echo "<font face=verdana >";

$opFile = "blogfile.txt";

 

// Opens Blog File to read or dies

$fp = fopen($opFile,"r") or die("Error Reading File");

  $data = fread($fp, filesize($opFile));

fclose($fp);

 

// Explodes data at line breaks

$line = explode("\n", $data);

$i=count($line);

 

for ($n=0 ; $n < $i-1 ; $n++ ) {

  $blog = explode("|", $line[$n]);

 

  if (isset($blog[0]))

  {

    echo "name: " .$blog[0]."<br>";

    echo " date: " .$blog[1]."<br>";

    echo " subject: " .$blog[2]."<br>";

    echo " message: " .$blog[3]."<br><br>";

   

 

    }

}

 

  ?>

 

 

post.php the file i use the form to post to

<?php

 

$filename = "blogfile.txt";

 

if (!isset($meddelande)) {

$namn = $_POST['name'];

//$date = $_POST['date'];

$ämne = $_POST['subject'];

$message = $_POST['message'];

 

}

 

$postdate = date('d M Y');

 

$blog = $name."|".$postdate."|".$subject."|".$message."|[end]\n" ;

 

$data = fopen($filename, "a");

fwrite($data, $blog);

fclose($data);

echo "message sent";

?>

 

And ofcourse i got the post message and text file but i guess  you dont need that.

<?php
echo "<font face=verdana >";

// put blog data in an array
$line = file("blogfile.txt");
$i=count($line);
$line = array_reverse($line);

for ($n=0 ; $n < $i-1 ; $n++ ) {
  $blog = explode("|", $line[$n]);

  if (isset($blog[0])) {
    echo "namn : " .$blog[0]."<br>";
    echo " datum: " .$blog[1]."<br>";
    echo " ämne: " .$blog[2]."<br>";
    echo " meddelande: " .$blog[3]."<br><br>";
    }
}

   ?>

used file cause it is less code and more efficient, then used the above function to reverse the array so the newest message should display on top.

 

Questions let me know.

.txt files use "/r/n" for line breaks while browsers use the HTML "

" for line breaks.
