[PHP] Having fits with input to array
I have a series of commands like so (with different programs on each line): display_pgm(bash); Here is the bare bones of the function 'display_pgm': function display_pgm ($pgm) { $cmd = -C $pgm --no-headers -o pid,fname,state,vsz,start_time,flag,user,cputime,args --cols 200; $ps = `ps $cmd`; $ps2 = ereg_replace(\n, ,, $ps); eval(\$psArray = array(\$ps2);); print_r($psArray); } If I can't get this part to work the rest of the function is a no-go. When I do this I get only one element in my array instead of the 3-4 I should be getting. I'm using bash for testing since I know that will always give a return. I've also tried: eval(\$psArray = array(\$ps2\);); and eval(\$psArray = array($ps2);); - This one gives me a parse error (Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /var/www/html/ps.php(25) : eval()'d code on line 1) When I have used the same eval in another page I get each part separated by the comma as a separate element in the array.

RE: [PHP] Having fits with input to array
Well, my understanding is the array($ps2); bit takes care of that. What I need to do is call the ps command with the options listed for each program I'm interested in tracking, take each line output and treat it as an element in an array. Then, for each array element I need to create another array with each element in the line output as an array element. For example, the command: ps -C bash --no-headers -o fname,state,vsz,start_time,flag,user,cputime,args --cols 200 gives me the output of: bash S 4396 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash bash S 4392 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash bash S 4396 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash The array I end up with using this code (where $pgm is bash): $cmd = -C $pgm --no-headers -o pid,fname,state,vsz,start_time,flag,user,cputime,args --cols 200; $ps = `ps $cmd`; $ps2 = ereg_replace(\n, ,, $ps); eval(\$psArray = array(\$ps2);); print_r($psArray); is: Array ( [0] = bash sleeping 4396 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash,bash sleeping 4392 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash,bash sleeping 4396 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash ) where I need it to be: Array ( [0] = bash S 4396 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash [1] = bash S 4392 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash [2] = bash S 4396 Nov13 000 sator 00:00:00 -bash ) and the second array needs to be: Array ( [0] = Array ( [0] = bash [1] = S [2] = 4396 [3] = Nov13 [4] = 000 [5] = sator [6] = 00:00:00 [7] = -bash ) etc... ) THIS is what I am unable to do.

[PHP] File read and sort question

I need, however to be able to sort by RELEASE_DATE *and* RELEASE_TIME Philosophically, what is the best way to handle this?

The problem with using a database is the files within the directory are changing on, sometimes, a minute by minute basis.

RE: [PHP] File read and sort question
I have no control over 1) file naming 2) file inclusion in the directory 3) file removal from the directory This is all being handled through another program written in C. So far I have been able to put the relevant info from each file into the database then display with a simple order by. Now, I'm attempting to get the correct flow for checking if the file is in the database but not in the directory so I can delete it from the database. Trial and error.
