key.

 OK thanks but I guess I didn't explain what I am trying to do properly.
 
 I need to be able to identify the variable name as well as pick the
variable
 with the lowest value.
 
 Something like this:
 
 Whose turn is it to take out the garbage?
 
 Mike has done it 3 times
 Bob has done it 2 times
 Jane has done it 5 times
 etc...
 
 Therefore its Bob's turn.


$arr['Mike'] = 3;
$arr['Bob'] = 2;
$arr['Jane'] = 5;

foreach ($arr as $key = $value) {
echo $key.' has done it '.$value.' timesbr /';
}
asort($arr);
print 'It is '.key($arr).'\'s turn';

Does anyone have a script that can be used to call linux's locate
command
and display the results in a browser?

I don't think it would be that hard and will make an effort today...

exec(locate foo);

Thanks for any help, even if you just suggest built in functions to look
at.

I'm looking for a way to take a 7 digit number and put it into xxx-
format.

So basically the logic is to count 3 characters into $number and insert
a
- there.
[/snip]

As a telecom we use several methods, but here is a small function which
allows us to keep both formats where needed

function addTNDashes ($oldNumber){
   $newNumber = substr($oldNumber, 0, 3) . - . substr($oldNumber, 3,
4);
   
   return $newNumber;
}

$telephone = 8654321;
$newTele = addTNDashes($telephone);
echo $newTele;

output is 865-4321 and we can still use $telephone if we need to. 
[stuff you may not need]
This is a boiled down version of a longer function that counts string
lengths to determine how many dashes might need to be added. Let's say
you have the area code in the number, like 2108765432. Being a ten digit
number with a recognizable area code we can then add a portion to the
function to add the two needed dashes, making the number more readable.

RE: [PHP] Session confusion again :( - Thanks!

[Paul Fine]

Thanks guys but I have register globals ON so once the session variable is
defined I should be able to address it without specifying $_SESSION ?

 What I can't understand is why Test1 shows as nothing, while
 Test2 shows the value I wanted. Thanks a lot!

[snip]

 $_SESSION['element_countp'] = count($p_lnames);
 echo TEST 1.$element_countp;
 
 $element_countp = $_SESSION['element_countp'];
 echo TEST 2.$element_countp;

because in test 1 $element_countp has not been assigned anything yet.

$_SESSION['element_countp'] and $element_countp are *not* the same
variable (it appears that you think they are).

in test 2 you assign the value of $_SESSION['element_countp'] to
$element_countp so that's why test 2 works.


hth,
chris.
