How to push a 2-dimensional array ?

[tanel96]

I'm trying to achieve something like this:



$fruits = array (
"fruits.jpg" => array("34262","5 Jun 09:49"),
"numbers.jpg" => array("54132","6 Jun 15:42"),
"holes.jpg" => array("12901","17 Aug 14:30")
);


Here is my code so far (haven't been able to figure out, how to push the "$size" & "$date" variables into the array):



<?php
$fruits = array();
$contents = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, "/path_to_the_folder/");

foreach ($contents as $entry) {

$entry = ereg_replace( "([\x20]+)", "\x20", $entry);
$entry = explode("\x20", $entry);

$filename = $entry["8"];
$size = $entry["4"];
$date = "".$entry["6"]." ".$entry["5"]." ".$entry["7"]."";

if($filename != "." && $filename != ".."){
array_push($fruits ,$filename);
}
}
?>

When you're wanting to set definate keys (which in this case is the filenames), you do not `push`, you do it just as you say it:

$array['key'] = $value;

If we apply this to your case, we should come up with the following

$fruits[$filename] = array($size, $date);

Overall,

<?php
$fruits = array();
$contents = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, "/path_to_the_folder/");

foreach ($contents as $entry) {

$entry = ereg_replace( "([\x20]+)", "\x20", $entry);
$entry = explode("\x20", $entry);

$filename = $entry["8"];
$size = $entry["4"];
$date = "".$entry["6"]." ".$entry["5"]." ".$entry["7"]."";

if($filename != "." && $filename != ".."){
$fruits[$filename] = array($size, $date);
}
}
?>

Hope this help :thumb:

dammit... that just isn't doing the trick... i cant sort it this way with natsort()... i'll explain soon :bandit:

oh, and what's with the "ugly code"....

Here's something that I overlooked. When you're looking at an array, the indexes are integers, not strings.
You need to access keys like $entry[0] as oppose to $entry["0"], I think.

I've added some comments in the code. If you uncomment them you will be presented with some info to help you debug :thumb:


<?php
$fruits = array();
$contents = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, "/path_to_the_folder/");

// // Test to see if you have the correct sort of array that you're expecting (should be a file list by the looks of things);
// echo "<pre>"; print_r($contents); echo "</pre>";

foreach ($contents as $entry) {

$entry = ereg_replace( "([\x20]+)", "\x20", $entry);
$entry = explode("\x20", $entry);

// // Test to see if you have the correct sort of array that you're expecting (should be a file list by the looks of things);
// echo "<pre>"; print_r($entry); echo "</pre>";

$filename = $entry[8];
$size = $entry[4];
$date = "".$entry[6]." ".$entry[5]." ".$entry[7]."";

if($filename != "." && $filename != ".."){
$fruits[$filename] = array($size, $date);
}
}
?>

he has been warned :kommie:

here's how i unraveled the mystery :)

This code will output the contents of a folder in alphabetical order with the filesize and the date the files was last updated :flower:



<?php

$fruits = array();
$contents = ftp_rawlist($conn_id, "/path/to/the/folder/");

foreach ($contents as $entry) {

$entry = ereg_replace( "([\x20]+)", "\x20", $entry);
$entry = explode("\x20", $entry);

$filename = $entry["8"];
$size = $entry["4"];
$date = "".$entry["6"]." ".$entry["5"]." ".$entry["7"]."";

if($filename != "." && $filename != ".."){
$loom = $filename."|".$size."|".$date;
array_push($fruits,$loom);
}
}

natcasesort($fruits);

foreach ($fruits as $value) {
$pieces = explode("|", $value);
echo "filename: ".$pieces["0"]." size: ".$pieces["1"]." date: ".$pieces["2"]."<br>\n";
}
?>
