Hi,
Looks like I have figured out how to get it to sort numerically after the print
out , but still I cannot get it to do the array_search to find out the index of
the "element" in this "new_array".
Here is the code,
$from = "Adair, OK-Alfalfa, OK-Atoka, OK-Beaver, OK-Beckham, OK-Blaine,
OK-Bryan, OK-Caddo, OK-Canadian, OK-Carter, OK-Cherokee, OK-Choctaw,
OK-Cimarron, OK-Cleveland, OK-Coal, OK-Comanche, OK-Cotton, OK-Craig, OK-Creek,
OK-Custer, OK-Delaware, OK-Dewey, OK-Ellis, OK-Garfield, OK-Garvin, OK-Grady,
OK-Grant, OK-Greer, OK-Harmon, OK-Harper, OK-Haskell, OK-Hughes, OK-Jackson,
OK-Jefferson, OK-Johnston, OK-Kay, OK-Kingfisher, OK-Kiowa, OK-Latimer, OK-Le
Flore, OK-Lincoln, OK-Logan, OK-Love, OK-Major, OK-Marshall, OK-Mayes,
OK-McClain, OK-McCurtain, OK-McIntosh, OK-Murray, OK-Muskogee, OK-Noble,
OK-Nowata, OK-Okfuskee, OK-Oklahoma, OK-Okmulgee, OK-Osage, OK-Ottawa,
OK-Pawnee, OK-Payne, OK-Pittsburg, OK-Pontotoc, OK-Pottawatomie, OK-Pushmataha,
OK-Roger Mills, OK-Rogers, OK-Seminole, OK-Sequoyah, OK-Stephens, OK-Texas,
OK-Tillman, OK-Tulsa, OK-Wagoner, OK-Washington, OK-Washita, OK-Woods,
OK-Woodward, OK
";
$state_colors=
"#FFFFCC-#FFFFCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FFCCCC-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#FF9999-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF-#0DCCFF";
$change=
"207-158-189-220-134-74.9-174-75.1-38-125-173-215-390-39-141-92.1-121-175-80.1-95.4-191-124-169-101-77-52-117-155-188-176-169-114-158-122-141-107-43-122-181-223-53.7-41.5-131-112-144-147-48-249-141-101-155-81.4-158-92.3-16.3-105-153-186-108-69.2-146-103-53.4-225-140-136-80.4-179-93.3-277-136-110-136-143-103-183-141";;
$from = explode("-", $from);
$state_colors= explode("-", $state_colors);
$change = explode("-",$change);
$new_array = array_combine($from,$change);
asort($new_array);
foreach ($new_array as $key => $value) echo $key . " is " . $value . " miles
away<br />"; //this does sort numerically.
The question you asked me earlier in the email, location2 is supposed to be one
of the elements in the $from array, which is why I thought I could just do a
$key= array_keys($new_array,$location2); //Find out the position of the index
in the array
and find its index. In my case now, could you please give me some tips on how I
could find the "index" of the $new_array array?
Thanks.
Alice
