Working with Flat File DB..

Hi,

I am using a flatfile in a project i am working with but just have a little question which hopefully someone can help with.

This is my code to display the items:

		  
		  <?
			$Lines = file("database.db");
			
			foreach($Lines as $Key => $Val) 
			{
			   //explode that data into a new array:  
			   $Data[$Key] = explode("||", $Val);
			}
			
			for($K = 0; $K < sizeof($Lines); $K++) 
			{  
			   echo "".$Data[$K][1]."<br>";
			   echo "".$Data[$K][2]."<br>";
			}
?>

Code (markup):

Which is fine and works but i want this to display last entry first.

Also it is outputting the entry like so: Entry 1|Entry 2 what i want it to do it in place of the | use a BR tag to make entry 2 below entry 1 without the |

Cheers,
Adam

 

This will reverse the line order:

$Lines = array_reverse(file("database.db"));

PHP:

As for the other change, try this:

echo '<table>';

for($K = 0; $K < sizeof($Lines); $K++) 
{  
     echo "<tr>\n";
     echo '<td>' . $Data[$K][1] . '</td>';
     echo '<td>' . $Data[$K][2] . '</td>';
     echo "</tr>\n";
}

echo "</table>\n";

PHP:

Untested, but give it a try.
EDIT:

I did just read your post again, and I'm not sure if I understood your second question right...

 

Hi,

Thanks that worked fine. What i was refering to was when the array is echo'd it dispays the information like e.g. title|description.

When it what i want it to do is title<br>description
