[SOLVED] Reverse array

[Bricktop]

Hi all,

 

I got some help earlier on here with some code which reads in a text file line by line and outputs the result.  However, I would like to reverse the order of the output.  I know I need to use array_reverse but not sure where to put it.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

<?php
  $quotesfile = 'file.txt';
  $content = "";
  foreach(file($quotesfile) as $line)
  {
    list($quote,$author) = explode("||", $line, 2);
     //Display the quote and the author
     $content .= '<blockquote class="quotetext">'.$quote.'</blockquote><br /><br />';
     $content .= '<cite class="authortext">'.$author.'</cite>';
   }
   echo $content;
?>

that code looks familiar

 

<?php
  $quotesfile = 'file.txt';
  $lines = file($quotesfile);
  array_reverse($lines);
  $content = "";
  foreach($lines as $line)
  {
    list($quote,$author) = explode("||", $line, 2);
     //Display the quote and the author
     $content .= '<blockquote class="quotetext">'.$quote.'</blockquote><br /><br />';
     $content .= '<cite class="authortext">'.$author.'</cite>';
   }
   echo $content;
?>

lol, thanks again rhodesa, but it's still outputting in the same way.  My code is:

 

<?php

$quotesfile = 'file.txt';
$lines = file($quotesfile);
array_reverse($lines);
  	
$content = "";
foreach($lines as $line)
{
list($quote,$author) = explode("||", $line, 2);
//Display the quote and the author
$content .= '<blockquote class="quotetext">'.$quote.'</blockquote><br /><br />';
     $content .= '<cite class="authortext">'.$author.'</cite>';
   }
   echo $content;
?>

Ah, I fixed it.  Just added:

 

$lines = array_reverse($lines);

 

Thanks again rhodesa!

yeah, my bad...i assumed array_reverse() worked like sort()

 

you can also get rid of the $lines variable again:

<?php
  $quotesfile = 'file.txt';
  $content = "";
  foreach(array_reverse(file($quotesfile)) as $line)
  {
    list($quote,$author) = explode("||", $line, 2);
     //Display the quote and the author
     $content .= '<blockquote class="quotetext">'.$quote.'</blockquote><br /><br />';
     $content .= '<cite class="authortext">'.$author.'</cite>';
   }
   echo $content;
?>
