I tried that code this morning :

<html>
<body>
<?php

     $tab=array("a"=>26,"b"=>25,"c"=>24,"d"=>23,
                "e"=>22,"f"=>21,"g"=>20,"h"=>19,
                "i"=>18,"j"=>17,"k"=>16,"l"=>15,
                "m"=>14,"n"=>13,"o"=>12,"p"=>11,
                "q"=>10,"r"=>9,"s"=>8,"t"=>7,
                "u"=>6,"v"=>5,"w"=>4,"x"=>3,
                "y"=>2,"z"=>1);


     $fid=fopen("testfile.txt","r");

     $line_num=0;
     while (!feof($fid))
           {
           $line_num++;
           $line = strtolower(fgets($fid,4096));
           $words= explode(" ",$line);
           while (list($foo,$word)=each($words))
                  {
                  $word_value=0;
                  for ($car=0;$car<strlen($word);$car++)
                        {
                        if ($letter_value=$tab[$word[$car]])
                             $word_value+=$letter_value;
                        }
                   if ($word_value==100)
                        echo "the word <b>$word</b> on line $line_value of
the input file has a value of $word_value.<br>\n";
                   }
           }
     echo "<br>\n<font color=\"red\">If nothing appears above, no word with
a value of 100 was found !!!\n";

?>
</body>
</html>

Subject: [PHP] Anagram Solution in PHP


> Im trying to figue out the following anagram using PHP. Here is the
problem:
>
> Using letters of the alphabet represented by a number, I have to come up
> with words that add up to exactly 100.
>
> Numbers are in reverse where A=26 and Z=1, so for example:
>
> A  B  C...X  Y  Z
> 26 25 24..3  2  1
>
> So let's say the word 'acronym'
>
> A  + C  + R + 0  + N  + Y + M
> 26 + 24 + 9 + 12 + 13 + 2 + 14  = 100
>
> My thoughts were to download a list of words in the dictionary, then read
> the file and somehow replace each letter by its number, then add each
letter
> for each word and see which words would equal to 100.
>
> So I am emailing this list for any suggestions or examples of code that I
> can use to accomplish this. Any help?
>
> Thanks much.
