Scummy12 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 I am running a script to retrieve numerical value from a webpage, the script echoes the numbers. However I need to add all the numbers to an array or txt file and then have them sorted from highest value to lowest value. Any hints or tips to how I would achieve this?

silkfire Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Use a preg match all then sort() the array you receive. Very simple. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/227846-write-results-to-array-and-sort/#findComment-1174898 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scummy12 Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 Use a preg match all then sort() the array you receive. Very simple. Sounds easy, however the script loops indefinitely. It only gathers 1 number (because it visits multiple webpages for its data) per loop and echo's the value. How can I write all the values it echo's into an array?

silkfire Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 If it loops indefinitely then there's a flaw in your script. What do you want to achieve and why doesn't your script have a stop condition?

What do you want to achieve and why doesn't your script have a stop condition? The script is meant to loop indefinitely as there is always an ever changing amount of pages to visit. However I have solved my problem, thanks everyone for your help.
