@JonaApr 23.2004 — [font=arial]$match is the array. [url=http://php.net/preg_match]See the manual[/url].[/font]

[code=php]
arsort($match);
[/code]

@ConorauthorApr 23.2004 — yes i know but there are many match[1]'s . I dont need to sort the match array, i need to put all the values of match[1] coming out of the foreach loop into its own aray so i can do arsort($newarray, SORT_NUMERIC)

also i keep getting this error

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:Program FilesApache GroupApache2htdocstestign.php on line 22

anyway to change the max ececution time

@JonaApr 23.2004 — [font=aria]Set a variable to an empty array then append to that variable using $varname[] = $match[1]; in the foreach loop. Show me the code with the foreach loop as well and I can help you more.[/font]

[font=arial]You shouldn't need to change the maximum execution time, as doing so will probably overload any kind of server you can put it on. You must be doing an extremely massive for loop or something to get that result. In any case, you can change that in the php.ini file.[/font]

@JonaApr 24.2004 — [font=arial]What you want to do is go through the foreach statement once to fill in all the values in $ary. Then you want to run the original foreach statement, which would have access the the proper order of the arrays. You'll need to change some of your code in the last code I posted to read from current($ary) instead of $match[1] (and then go to the next() variable at the end of the loop).[/font]

uggh im so confused, who thought it would be so hard to get stupid #'s to order upside down. Let me try and break it down and maybe you can tell me if what im saying is right and possibly check some code i write up

I would first run this to fill the array?
[code=php]
$ary = array();

foreach($user as $x =>$value){

$file=file_get_contents("http://users.ign.com/about/".$value." ");
$file_replace=str_replace(",","",$file);

preg_match("!Watched&nbsp;By&nbsp;Count:</B> </td>s+<td class="BoardRowB">([0-9,]+)s!s", $file_replace, $match);

if($match[1]){
$ary[] = $match[1];
}
}
arsort($ary);
[/code]
Now this will contain all the correct order of the match[1] values i guess After that im kind of lost with the current($ary) and next stuff at the end of the loop. Something like this?

[code=php]
foreach($user as $x =>$value){
$file=file_get_contents("http://users.ign.com/about/".$value." ");
$file_replace=str_replace(",","",$file);

preg_match("!Watched&nbsp;By&nbsp;Count:</B> </td>s+<td class="BoardRowB">([0-9,]+)s!s", $file_replace, $match);

if(eregi($value."'s profile is currently not available.", $file)){
$wul="Banned";
} else {
$wul=current($ary);
}
if($wul=="Banned")
{
$prev="Banned";
}
elseif($previous[$x]==""){
$prev="New";
} else {
$prev=current($ary)-$previous[$x];
} [/code]

that echoes the same value for every # so thats where i believe the next($ary) would come in? ALso would i have to put the $wul and $value variable into an asscoitive array so the correct user would match the correct name.

That just goes right above the PHP tags where i am running it. You can put any #'s in the second textarea and in the first some valid usernames are RefreshF5,eshold1,carlmmii,bigreddsmurf,FChappa1j

Usually i have to test with at least 5 usernames as it sometimes works with less.

    eshold 1 is the one with 1920,carlmmii with 516,Fchappa with 252,bigreddsmurf actually has 211 but that was most likely coincidence and RefreshF5 is the one 44. It produces it buit the wrong # corresponds with the username.

    @ConorauthorApr 25.2004 — hmm that still gave me no output.

    and when i tried this

    [code=php]

    <form action="<?$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="POST">
    <b>Input a comma delimited list of usernames. Append new users to the end.</b><br><textarea rows="8" cols="40" name="users"></textarea><br>
    <b>Input previous WUL counts delimited by comma. If New leave blank.</b><br><textarea rows="8" cols="40" name="wul_count"></textarea><br>
    <input type="submit" name="submit"><br>
    <?
    //WUU Script for the IGN Boards(boards.ign.com) by Conor Hastings(RefreshF5)
    error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);//turns off notices because i need undefined variable
    if(isset($_POST['submit']))//checks if submit is set
    {
    $users=$_POST['users'];//grabs data from textarea
    $user_rep=str_replace(" ","",$users);//replaces emtpy spaces with nothing
    $user= explode(",",$user_rep);//puts the data into array


    $wul_count=$_POST['wul_count'];//grabs previous WUL count
    $wul_rep=str_replace(" ","",$wul_count);
    $previous=explode(",",$wul_rep);//explodes into array


    echo"[b]Rank/Rank Change/[color=whiye]Username[/color]/[color=EDF3FE]WUL Count[/color]/[color=white]WUL Change[/color][/b]";//echoes heading
    echo"[ol]<br>";

    $ary = array();

    foreach($user as $x =>$value){

    $file=file_get_contents("http://users.ign.com/about/".$value." ");
    $file_replace=str_replace(",","",$file);

    preg_match("!Watched&nbsp;By&nbsp;Count:</B> </td>s+<td class="BoardRowB">([0-9,]+)s!s", $file_replace, $match);

    if($match[1]){
    $ary[] = $match[1];
    }
    arsort($ary);
    for($j=0; $j< count($user); $j++){
    $data[]=array("name" => $user[$j], "wul" => $ary[$j]);
    }
    for($i=0; $i < count($data);$i++){
    echo $data["name"][$i] .": ";
    echo $data["wul"][$i] ."<br>";
    }
    }
    ?>
    [/code]

    it gives me

    @ConorauthorApr 25.2004 — thank you that fixed the error but no longer retrieves the # count from the profiles. hmm, i wonder why it worked with the foreach but not this.
