Help sorting array built from external file

[blackoprogue]

My code opens a text file that is updated every 15 minutes and formats the values accordingly. My problem is that they now want to have the information displayed in a different order than what is being pulled from the text file. I'm a novice at PHP still and haven't been able to come up with how to get this accomplished.

They want to have the information displayed by Node in numerical order instead of however the information in brought in.

 

		$filename = 'TEST.TXT';
		$fp = fopen($filename, "r");

		$contents = fread($fp, filesize($filename));
		fclose($fp);

		$count = 1;
		$tok = strtok($contents, " \n");
		while($tok) 
		{
			switch ($count)
			{
				case 1:	$count++;
						break;
				case 2: if($tok == "AVAILABLE")
						{
							$tok = strtok(" \n");
							$tok = strtok(" \n");
						}
						if($tok >= $time)
						$time = $tok;
						$count++;
						break;
				case 3: if($tok == "MA06")
							$tok = "			<string>Node10</string> \n";
							if($tok == "HS02")
							$tok = "			<string>Node13</string> \n";
							if($tok == "MB08")
							$tok = "			<string>Node14</string> \n";
							if($tok == "RRG1")
							$tok = "			<string>Node28</string> \n";
							if($tok == "MVS1")
							$tok = "			<string>Node42</string> \n";
							if($tok == "HS01")
							$tok = "			<string>Node46</string> \n";
							if($tok == "MIX1")
							$tok = "			<string>Node49</string> \n";
							if($tok == "WIN0")
							$tok = "			<string>Node1</string> \n";
							if($tok == "XRC0")
							$tok = "			<string>Node2</string> \n";
							if($tok == "SYS6")
							$tok = "			<string>Node3</string> \n";
							if($tok == "DEV0")
							$tok = "			<string>Node4</string> \n";
							if($tok == "WIN5")
							$tok = "			<string>Node5</string> \n";
							if($tok == "CMC1")
							$tok = "			<string>Node6</string> \n";
							if($tok == "ARG1")
							$tok = "			<string>Node8</string> \n";
							if($tok == "OTI1")
							$tok = "			<string>Node115</string> \n";
							if($tok == "OTI3")
							$tok = "			<string>Node139</string> \n";
						$lpar .= $tok;
						$count++;
						break;
				case 4: if($tok == "999.9")
							$hint = "IPL being perfomed \non reporting lpar";
							if($tok < "999.9")
							$hint = $tok;

							if($tok == "999.9")
							$color = "009DFF";
							if($tok == "999.9")
							$tok = "100.4";

							if($tok >= "0" && $tok < "85")
							$color = "00B300";
							if($tok >= "85" && $tok < "90")
							$color = "FFCF21";
							if($tok >= "90" && $tok < "95")
							$color = "FF8620";
							if($tok >= "95" && $tok <= "100")
							$color = "FF0000";

						$spoolper .= "			<number bevel='data' tooltip='". $hint . "'>" . $tok . "</number> \n";
						$colorpic .= "		<color>" . $color . "</color> \n";
						$count = 1;
						break;
				default: break;

			} // end switch

			$tok = strtok(" \n");

		} // end while
			$spool .= "\n" . $lpar . "		</row> \n		<row> \n			<string>region A</string> \n" . $spoolper;
			$spool .= $filler1 . "<text transition='none' shadow='low' color='000000' alpha='100' size='12' x='374' y='467' width='100' height='50' h_align='left' v_align='top'>" . $time . "</text> \n" . $filler2;
			$spool .= $colorpic . "\n	</series_color> \n";
			return $spool;

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

You have a few options. I won't do it for you, but I will point you in the right direction and if you have any questions I can help you solve those as you go through it.

Sorry for the delay, got a bit busy.

I'll start working with those sorts and see what I can get going.

Thank you for your guidance.
