<?
$filename = "category/category.inc";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
$content = explode (",", $contents);
// Look at the array functions in the manual. Php has no problem sorting
arrays
// http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php
sort($content);
// I have the habit of taking function calls out of loops
// The loop does not need to call function every iteration
$array_count = count($content);
for ($a=0;$a<$array_count;$a++){
echo "<TR><TD><A HREF='showcat.php?Cat=".$content[$a]."'>";
echo str_replace(" ","",strtolower($content[$a]));
echo "</A></TD>";
$a++;
echo "<TD><A HREF='showcat.php?Cat=".$content[$a]."'>";
echo str_replace(" ","",strtolower($content[$a]));
echo "</A></TD></TR>";
// There is an article on zend.com that clearly states that the

// printf("<TR><TD><A HREF='showcat.php?Cat=%s'>%s</A></TD></TR>",

I can't test this, but it should give you some idea of what to do next.

Subject: [PHP] Display Format
Hi,
I`m using the following code to display the contents of a file.....
<?
$filename = "category/category.inc";
$fd = fopen ($filename, "r");
$contents = fread ($fd, filesize ($filename));
fclose ($fd);
$content = explode (",", $contents);
for ($a=0;$a<count($content);$a++){
printf("<TR><TD><A HREF='showcat.php?Cat=%s'>%s</A></TD></TR>",
str_replace("
","",strtolower($content[$a])), $content[$a]);
}
?>
It is working fine at the moment but I want to try and be a tad more
ambitious, say for example the category.inc contains the following:
Paul,Mark,Tom,Ade
My code will display the results like so...
(Obviously with my HTML in there too)
Paul
Mark
Tom
Ade
Firstly is there any way I can sort these in alphabetical order??
More importantly is there any way of formatting them so they display
Paul Mark
Tom Ade
So they are in two columns in a table rather than one??
Thanks for any help
Ade
