hello all,if it doesn't matter in what order they are all processed, then you could so it like this:
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 => $ips) { // do stuff here } ###END CODE
Im not really expecting anyone to be able to do my work for me but some *guidance* regardig how to tackle this problem would be magnificent...
Thankyou..
<?php
foreach($machines as $machineId => $ips) {
foreach($ips as $ip) {
do_stuff($ip);
}
}
?>
However, if it does matter, then I suggest a different way. This would order them by their 2nd index, not the first (meaning by $machines[1][1], $machines[2][1], etc);
<?php
$max = 0;
foreach($machines as $machineId => $ips) {
$max = ($max >= count($ips) ? $max : count($ips));
}
for($i=0;$i<$max;$i++) {
foreach($machines as $machineId => $ips) {
if(isset($ips[$i])) {
do_stuff($ips[$i]);
} else {
continue;
}
}
}
?>
but that's just my point of view ;)-- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
