More on sorting

[Siberdude]

Can anyone tell me if this:

$sortby[200110241052] = $stuff[0];
$sortby[200110240935] = $stuff[1];
$sortby[200110252342] = $stuff[2];

foreach ($sortby, $i++)
{
print &quot;<tr><td>$sortby[$i]</td></tr>&quot;;
}

would work? would i get a million and one <td>'s? or would it only enter the loop with when there was something in the slot?

cheers

it would depend what you initialise i to. if you leave it at 0, you will get millions of rows. if you set it to the index of the first element in the array that u want to continue from, then it wont.

what are u trying to do? if your reading sequentially from one array i.e. stuff, why can't you wrtie sequentially to another i.e. sortby??

$sortby = $stuff;

I don't think that will do what you want to do, whatever that is. What is it you're trying to accomplish?
