Im making a blog and im trying to make it so it displays my posts from soonest to oldest. I thing the easiest way it to use the array_reverse() function.
I have never used it before so i need some advice on doing so.
here is my current code how do i put it in?
<?php
$connect = mysql_connect("****","****","******");
mysql_select_db("****");
$posts = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Posts");
WHILE($data = mysql_fetch_array($posts)):
$picture = $data['Picture'];
$pname = $data['Name'];
$date = $data['Date'];
$poster = $data['Poster'];
$ptext = $data['Text'];
?>
<div class="row">
<li class="span12">
<div class="thumbnail">
<div class="img-wrap">
<center>
<a href="#">
<img src="<?php echo "$picture"; ?>" alt=""/>
</a>
</center>
</div>
<h3><?php echo "$pname"; ?></h3>
<div class="info-panel clearfix">
<span class="pull-left">
<time datetime="">
<i class="icon-calendar "></i> <?php echo "$date"; ?>
</time>
</span>
<span class="pull-right">
<i class="icon-user"></i> By <?php echo "$poster"; ?>
</span>
</div>
<p><?php echo "$ptext"; ?></p>
</div>
</li>
</div>
<?php
endwhile;
?>
Consider user the ORDER BY clause in your SQL to read out the post already sorted on the correct order instead of reversing the array. SELECT * FROM Posts ORDER BY Date DESC
