hello all,
I have some text files in a directory that contain newline delimited IP
addresses. Here is what i would like to do with them, and what i have
achieved so far:
I read the files into a multi-dimensional array like: (pseudo code)
array(IP_blocks) = (
File_number[1] = array('ip1', 'ip2', 'ip3')
File_number[2] = array('ip1', 'ip2', 'ip3')
File_number[3] = array('ip1', 'ip2', 'ip3')
)
the ip files have variable numbers of ips, some have 5 ips, some 40
etc..
What i want to do is to run a loop through the whole thing doing a task
on each IP address. Easy so far right? - Well, where im stuck is that i
want to operate on them like this:
do_stuff(File_number[1][ip1])
do_stuff(File_number[2][ip1])
do_stuff(File_number[3][ip1])
do_stuff(File_number[1][ip2])
do_stuff(File_number[2][ip2])
do_stuff(File_number[3][ip2])
I cant even get that far LoL! but then there is the problem of what
happens when there is no IP left in an array? (its a short file of
ips..)? - I need to start that particular array back at the beggining
but continue the cycle (it doesnt matter that an ip is worked on more
than once..)
Here is the *actual* code I have so far:
##CODE
<?php
/*
* Open the proxies dir and read all of the
* ips contained within each file into a mutidimensional
* array ($machines)
*/
$dir = dir('proxies');
while(FALSE !== ($file = $dir->read())) {
if($file != '.' && $file != '..') {
$machines[$file] = file($dir->path . '/' .$file);
}
}
$dir->close();
foreach($machines as $machineId => $ips) {
// do stuff here
}
###END CODE
Im not really expecting anyone to be able to do my work for me but some
*guidance* regardig how to tackle this problem would be magnificent...
Thankyou..
