Sort Array

[shage]

I am sorting on date of images which are the thumbnail of the tutorial, now i call the array doing the date, which gives me a long list of tutorials,  i would like to only list 2 from each day then a break with adver then list 2 more from another date etc, whats the best way to do this, right now it just lists all the tutorials in order well the first 7 but breaks for adver etc

[darkfreaks]

so your doing something like

 

<?php
$array= array($tutorials,$date);
$array= asort($date); /// sort tutorials by date



?>

[darkfreaks]

<?php
$tutorials="select *from tutorials values(tutorial,date) 
LIMIT 2"; ///limiting the tutorials by 2 only
$array= array($tutorials,$date);
$array= asort($date); /// sort tutorials by date



?>

[shage]

now if i limit by two and then limit again by 2 will it be the same 2?

[darkfreaks]

im not sure why would you need to limit it twice?

[shage]

well i have a folder where images are named 20071010-photoshop-text1.jpg and the next 6 might be 20071010-photoshop-text(2-6).jpg

 

i want it to search the folder

 

image 1

image 2

adver

image 3

image 4

adver

image 5

image 6

 

see what im saying, right now i can post all them on the page but i have no breaks in the loop to apply adver

[darkfreaks]

well searching is a different thing what i said above will sort the array by the date and the Limit will limit it to 2 entries Period.

[shage]

yea i see that just trying to figure out how to sort the next 2 out in another table

 

table-2 images

adver

table-2 other images

adver

table-maybe 4 other images

 

im frustrated lol

Well, at last you have given us clue about the images, but there seems to be contradiction in this example and your earlier statement about only 2 from each day then an advert then 2 from the next day etc.

 

And where do the adverts come from? How are they stored?

[shage]

they are all in a folder in that folder list several other folders in which have the name of the tutorial, inside the folder in the thumb which has the date, right now i have it sort into date, it grabs them all i limited to 7 so it only pulls 7, just trying to think of a way to break after two for a advertisement

just trying to think of a way to break after two for a advertisement

 

Simple. Count them.

 

You mentioned an array. What does that look like?

 

What code do you have so far?

[shage]

how would you count them and echo 1 and 2 then adver then 3 and 4

[Barand]

you only need to count to 2

<?php
$images  = array ('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g');  // your array of images.

$k = 0;           // counter

foreach ($images as $im)
{
    echo "<img src='$im'><br>";
    if (++$k == 2)
    {
        echo "advert here<br>";
        $k = 0;
    }
}
?>
