Help needed to re-write an array - Reviews module

I am trying to create a feedback system for an advisory site, whereby each advisor will receive individual feedback. I decided that I might be able to modify the Reviews module on Ravennuke to achieve it. The module currently sorts alphabetically, but I want it to receive the review and sort by each advisors name, I did try deleting the alphabet and numbers and then adding names instead, but when I sent reviews through the site, it added them to 2 out of the 3 names and not just the one it was meant for. I need to know how to re-write the array in the code shown below so that the system will receive the review and sort it by each advisors name. Thank you for any help with this Smile

Code:




function alpha() {


   global $module_name;


   $alphabet = array ('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M',


      'N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0');


   $num = count($alphabet) - 1;


   echo '<center>[ ';


   $counter = 0;


   while (list(, $ltr) = each($alphabet)) {


      echo '<a href="modules.php?name=' . $module_name . '&amp;rop=' . $ltr . '">' . $ltr . '</a>';


      if ($counter == round($num/2)) {


         echo ' ]' . "\n" . '<br />' . "\n" . '[ ';


      } elseif ($counter != $num) {


         echo '&nbsp;|&nbsp;' . "\n";


      }


      $counter++;


   }


   echo ' ]</center><br /><br />' . "\n";


   echo '<center>[ <a href="modules.php?name=' . $module_name . '&amp;rop=write_review">' . _WRITEREVIEW . '</a> ]</center><br /><br />' . "\n\n";}

So your saying instead of the alphabet being clickable, you want it to be the names of the advisor?

If so, identify how each advisor is identified in the database. Then make your array or list from the database. You can pretty much sort them how you want then.

Thanks for your reply, but I don't have much experience with databases so I don't really know how to do what you suggested Smile
