php loop to print usernames

[moirakris]

Ok this is my first time working/modifying php code so I am a total newbie. I am trying to display the username, email, location and join date for all users stored in the users.php

It does this but it lists the first entry (admin) twice and I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's doing this.
Also is there a way to make the displayed email user address a mailto link?

Here is the code I have there now. If you need to see a live copy of it just let me know.

Thanks for any help you can give.
Warmest Regards,
Moira

<?php
// Get all users from file
 $file = file(&quot;users.php&quot;);
			
// Get amount of lines in file
$totalLines = sizeof($file);
			
// Loop through and display all users
for($line = 0; $line < $totalLines; $line++){
// Dont print out lines beginning with a comment
if(&quot;//&quot; != substr($file[$line], 0, 2)){
// Put contents of line into variables
@list($username, $password, $perm, $email, $url, $dob, $location, $joined) = explode(&quot;<del>&quot;, $file[$line]);
						
$string .= &quot;<span style = 'color: #191970;'>Name:</span> &quot;. $username.&quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;password (md5()): &quot;. $password. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;permission: &quot;. $perm. &quot;<br>&quot;;
$string .= &quot;<span style = 'color: #191970;'>Email:</span> &quot;. $email. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;url: &quot;. $url. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;date of birth: &quot;. $dob. &quot;<br>&quot;;
$string .= &quot;<span style = 'color: #191970;'>Location:</span> &quot;. $location. &quot;<br>&quot;;
$string .= &quot;<span style = 'color: #191970;'>Joined:</span> &quot;. $joined. &quot;<br><hr>&quot;;
echo $string;
								}
}
?>

Does the admin user appear twice in the file?


To do an email adress a mailto link, just put the appropriate HTML tag parts around the address.

Woo ok i got it to remove the extra admin, no it wasn't in the database twice, not really sure what I did but it worked lol. I also got the username to be a mailto link

Now I just need to figure out how to have it output the users.php sorted in alphabetical order on the output. It is stored in the users.php by order of entry.

Any ideas? Here is the revised code

<?php
// Get all users from file
$file = file(&quot;users.php&quot;);
			
// Get amount of lines in file
$totalLines = sizeof($file);
			
// Loop through and display all users
for($line = 0; $line < $totalLines; $line++){
// Dont print out lines beginning with a comment
if(&quot;//&quot; != substr($file[$line], 0, 2)){
// Put contents of line into variables
@list($username, $password, $perm, $email, $url, $dob, $location, $joined) = explode(&quot;<del>&quot;, $file[$line]);
				
$string = &quot;<hr><a href = 'mailto:$email'>&quot;.ucfirst($username). &quot;</a>&quot;.$modified.&quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;password (md5()): &quot;. $password. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;permission: &quot;. $perm. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;Email: &quot;. $email. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;url: &quot;. $url. &quot;<br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;date of birth: &quot;. $dob. &quot;<br>&quot;;
$string .= &quot;<span style = 'font-size: smaller;'>Location: &quot;. $location. &quot;</span><br>&quot;;
//$string .= &quot;Joined: &quot;. $joined. &quot;<br><hr>&quot;;
echo $string;
	}
    }
?>

And here is what the entries in the users.php show as if you need to know

moirakris<del>*****<del>2<del>email@isp.net<del><del><del>City, State<del>01.21.2004 
kelly<del>******<del>0<del>email@isp.com<del><del><del>City, State<del>01.25.2004

Once again any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!!
