it is a xml file we need to change the order of the arry. here is our code
for getting xm as array and finding the element position.
---------------------------
<?php
if( ! ($fp = fopen( "./gallery.xml" , "r" )) )
die("Couldn't open xml file!");
$person_counter = 0;
$person_data = array();
$xml_current_tag_state = '';
function startElementHandler( $parser, $element_name, $element_attribs )
{
global $person_counter;
global $person_data;
global $xml_current_tag_state;
if( $element_name == "ITEM" )
{
// $person_data[$person_counter]["author"] = $element_attribs["AUTHOR"];
}
else
{
$xml_current_tag_state = $element_name;
}
}
function endElementHandler( $parser, $element_name )
{
global $person_counter;
global $person_data;
global $xml_current_tag_state;
$xml_current_tag_state = '';
if( $element_name == "ITEM" )
{
$person_counter++;
}
}
function characterDataHandler( $parser , $data )
{
global $person_counter;
global $person_data;
global $xml_current_tag_state;
if( $xml_current_tag_state == '' )
return;
if( $xml_current_tag_state == "THUMB" ) {
$person_data[$person_counter]["thumb"] = $data;
}
if( $xml_current_tag_state == "IMG" ) {
$person_data[$person_counter]["img"] = $data;
}
/* if( $xml_current_tag_state == "ABSTRACT" ) {
$person_data[$person_counter]["abstract"] = $data;
}
if( $xml_current_tag_state == "BODYTEXT" ) {
$person_data[$person_counter]["bodytext"] = $data;
}*/
}
if( !($xml_parser = xml_parser_create()) )
die("Couldn't create XML parser!");
xml_set_element_handler($xml_parser, "startElementHandler",
"endElementHandler");
xml_set_character_data_handler($xml_parser, "characterDataHandler");
while( $data = fread($fp, 4096) )
{
if( !xml_parse($xml_parser, $data, feof($fp)) )
{
break; // get out of while loop if we're done with the file
}
}
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
$position= $_POST['t1'] ;
$file= $_POST['t2'];
echo "position is".$position ."<br>";
echo "file is". $file ."<br>";
echo "file is".$person_data[$position]['img']."<br>" ;
$article = $file;
echo "article is".$article;
$thisPos = -1;
$elementPos = 0;
$filename = 'gallery.xml';
if (!$fp = fopen($filename, 'w+')) {
print "Cannot open file ($filename)";
exit;
}
$lengthOfArray = count($person_data);
echo "length is". $lengthOfArray."<br>";
/*adding */
for( $i=0 ; $i < $lengthOfArray ; ++$i )
{
$thisName = $person_data[$i]["thumb"];
//echo "this name is".$thisName . "<br>";
if ($thisName == $article) {
echo "<b> match at position number: ". $i . "</b><br>";
$thisPos = $i;
echo "our match happened at". $thisPos."<br>";
if ($thisPos==-1)
{
echo "$i;br>its NOT on the ARRAY thisPos value is $thisPos we need to
append";
$elementPos = $lengthOfArray;
}
else
{
//echo "$i;br>it IS on the ARRAY at postion $thisPos we need to over write";
