this code wont work in a function?

[followInTo]

This is reading a txt base database

 

The code works outside a function but not inside. I'm not sure why, if someone can help alter the coding or tell me an answer, that'd be great!

 

function getTheStuff($usname) {
//Begin Pre coding
if ($handle = opendir('db/us/')) {
	while (false !== ($file = readdir($handle))) { 
		if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {

		$file = eregi_replace(".php", "", $file);
		$file = array($file);
			foreach($file as $listed) {
				$item3 = file("db/us/".$listed.".php");
				foreach ($item3 as $item4) {
					list($rusername,$rpassword,$rpoints) = explode ("|^|", $item4);
				}
				// put all members into an array
				$allmembers[] = $rpoints."|^|".$rusername."|^|x|^|";

			}

		} 
	}
	closedir($handle); 
}

// Begin to return data


asort($allmembers);
$count = 0;
	foreach($allmembers as $item) {
		++$count;
		list($pointsxx,$usernamexx) = explode("|^|",$item);
		if($usernamexx == $usname) {
			return $count;
		}
	}
}

the code doesnt work outside a function either

 

Does it or doesn't it. If it doesn't work at all what problems or errors are you experincing?

[followInTo]

it just doesnt work but no PHP Error comes up. something with the variable i think. Their not recording or something.

Code that doesn't work doesn't tell us what you are trying to do.

 

What are you trying to achieve?

[kenrbnsn]

You keep on reusing the variable '$file'.

its just overriding the previous one, anyways i alrdy checked, that doesnt seem to be the problem

 

It can read the directory just perfect but cannot put them in the array, i dont know why

[kenrbnsn]

Please explain what you think this function is supposed to do.

 

Have you tried putting in "debug" statements that echo your data as it's being manipulated?
