Preferences

[Aeo •]

How might I go about getting a player's preferences to order themself alphabetically? After --

Code:

$form = array_merge($form, $msettings);
$prefs = array_merge($prefs, $mdata);

-- And before --

Code:

$info = showform($form,$prefs);

-- I tried adding in --

Code:

asort($form);
asort($prefs);

-- But while that may sort the headers into alphabetical order, it kinda just screws things up, and puts the preferences themselves under the wrong headers. o.o It's just so that player's can find their preferences easier. Anyone? ^^

You need to understand how the data is organised inside the $form array. Though I would perform the sort on $msettings to leave the original $form intact.

There are the values that have 'title' in them. These are used as the tab name. Everything after this up until the next 'title' is displayed under this tab.

You need to remove everything in between the 'title' values so you end up with just an array of values with 'title' in them. This can no be sorted using asort(). Then reinsert the bits you removed back into the array, but after the correct 'title' values.

Sound easy?

Sound easy?

Not really. xD But I'll give it a shot and see what I come out with. Thanks for the help. ^^;

* EDIT:

For those who are interested, the code goes as thus:

-- FIND IN prefs.php:

Code:

<?php
$form = array_merge($form, $msettings);
$prefs = array_merge($prefs, $mdata);
?>

-- INSERT AFTER:

Code:

<?php
// BEGIN ALPHABETICAL ORDER
$forma = $form;
$formkeys = array_keys($forma);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($forma); $i++){
$x = $formkeys[$i];
if (is_array($forma[$x])) $forma[$x] = $forma[$x][0];
}
$rearranged = array();
$form2 = explode("||",implode("||",$forma));
for ($i = 0; $i < count($form2); $i++){
$form2[$i] = $form2[$i]."//".$formkeys[$i];
if (strstr($form2[$i],",title") || strstr($form2[$i],", title")){
$rearranged[$form2[$i]] = array();
$keys = $form2[$i];
} else {
$rearranged[$keys][] = $form2[$i];
}
}
$rearrangedkeys = array_keys($rearranged);
sort($rearrangedkeys);
$rearranged2 = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($rearrangedkeys); $i++){
$x = $rearrangedkeys[$i];
$rearranged2[$x] = $rearranged[$x];
$rearranged2[$x] = implode("||",$rearranged2[$x]);
$rearranged2[$x] = $rearrangedkeys[$i]."||".$rearranged2[$x];
}
$formb = explode("||",implode("||",$rearranged2));
$formc = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < count($formb); $i++){
$x = explode("//",$formb[$i]);
$x2 = $formkeys[$i];
$formc[$x[1]] = $x[0];
if (strstr($formc[$x2],"%s")) $formc[$x2] = $form[$x2];
}
$form = $formc;
// END ALPHABETICAL ORDER
?>

It probably could be tidied up a bit, but that works perfectly for now.
