I'm trying to get the output array to be set as a new array with the updated (sorted) output. The purpose of this is to get the new variable to be ordered: [0,1,2,3,4] as now it is being sorted by the key and therefore the order of the actual array has shifted, so its more like: [3,1,4,2]. The code is listed below:
//Retrieve what is scored from the game
$name = $_GET["name"];
$score = $_GET["score"];
//Read a text file into an array, with each line in a new element
$filename = "score.txt";
$lines = array();
$file = fopen($filename, "r");
while(!feof($file)) {
//read file line by line into a new array element
$lines[] = explode("|",fgets($file));
}
fclose ($file);
//Append $name and $score into $lines
$lines[] = array($score,$name);
//Sort it from high to low
arsort($lines);
//Removes the 11th Highscore - As it is base 0, the 11th term is the 10th array
//unset($lines[10]);
//Remove the
from the names - rtrim
for ($x = 0; $x <= 10; $x++) {
$lines[$x][1] = rtrim($lines[$x][1]);
$lines[$x][0] = intval($lines[$x][0]);
}
//print_r($lines);
echo json_encode($lines);
The score.txt contains the following:
35|Nathan
50|Matt
45|Sam
20|Jono
40|Bob
30|Roman
25|Zac
15|Larry
10|Thomas
5|Josh
The output is currently the following (including the added $name and $score):
{"10":[55,"Ball"],"1":[50,"Matt"],"2":[45,"Sam"],"4":[40,"Bob"],"0":[35,"Nathan"],"5":[30,"Roman"],"6":[25,"Zac"],"3":[20,"Jono"],"7":[15,"Larry"],"8":[10,"Thomas"],"9":[5,"Josh"]}
As you can see, it orders it by their score: 55,50,45 and the array is just reordered: 10,1,2.
How can I have the same output, but now the output would be:
{"0":[55,"Ball"],"1":[50,"Matt"],"2":[45,"Sam"],"3":[40,"Bob"],"4":[35,"Nathan"],"5":[30,"Roman"],"6":[25,"Zac"],"7":[20,"Jono"],"8":[15,"Larry"],"9":[10,"Thomas"],"10":[5,"Josh"]}
The output is now: 0,1,2,3.. which is ordered from highest high score: 55,50,45...
Thanks in advance.
