Question

I want to reverse the order of the array.

My code:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM notfi1 WHERE Own='" .$_GET['u']. "'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
  echo 'link:<a href=member.php?u=' .$row['UserId']. '>text</a><br>';
  }

Output:

<a href=member.php?u=name8>text</a>
<a href=member.php?u=name9>text</a>
<a href=member.php?u=name10>text</a>

and I want to reverse it:

<a href=member.php?u=name10>text</a>
<a href=member.php?u=name9>text</a>
<a href=member.php?u=name8>text</a>

Answer 1

You have two solutions:

1. Sort your links descending
2. Use array_reverse or rsort

Solution #1:

"SELECT * FROM notfi1 WHERE Own='" .$_GET['u']. "' ORDER BY UserId DESC"

Solution #2:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM notfi1 WHERE Own='" .$_GET['u']. "'");
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
    $data[] = $row['UserId'];
}
rsort($data);
foreach($data as $item){
    echo 'link:<a href=member.php?u=' .$row['UserId']. '>text</a><br>';
}

Second method is better because it means you are seperating your data retrieval from your display… IT SHOULD be done this way but doesn’t prevent you to sort your data on the MySQL Server
