Use Relevancy Algorythym

[ojsimon]

Hi
This is a script which combines many different video feeds together, at the moment you can see that it [PHP]shuffle($all);[/PHP] instead of an algorithm to sort the records, i would like to change it so that it is sorted by relevancy to a string which i could specify. Here is the whole code for the page, and bellow that is an algoryhtym which i tried to implement into the code but would not work. Can anyone either help me implement this algorithm or write one that will work with this code? [PHP]<?
function getall($searcht erms) {
require("yt.php ");
require("gv.php ");
require("dm.php ");
require("mc.php ");

$yt = yt($searchterms );
$gv = gv($searchterms );
$dm = dm($searchterms );
$mc = mc($searchterms );

$all = array_merge($yt ,$gv,$dm,$mc);
if(count($all)) {
include_once "latest.php ";
updatelatest(st r_replace("+","-",$searchterms) );
}
$bannedwords = "bannedwords.tx t";
$fp = fopen($bannedwo rds, "r");
$wordstmp = fread($fp, filesize($banne dwords));
fclose($fp);
$words = explode("\n",$w ordstmp);
$words = array_map("strt olower",$words) ;

foreach($all as $index=>$arr) {
$arrtitle = $arr['title'];
foreach($words as $index2=>$word) {
if(strstr(strto lower($arrtitle ),strtolower(st r_replace("\n", "",str_replace( "\r","",$word)) ))) {
unset($all[$index]);
break;
}
}
}

srand((float)mi crotime() * 1000000);
shuffle($all);
foreach($all as $j=>$k) {
if(!trim($k['title'])||!trim($k['link']))
unset($all[$j]);
}

return $all;
}

?>[/PHP]

This is the sort of algorythym

[PHP]usort($multifee d,'funnySort');

function funnySort($a,$b )
{
// assign numerical value so we can sort on
// whether "term" is in title or content or neither

$term = 'funny';

$x = 0;
if (stripos($a->get_title(),$t erm))
$x = 2;
elseif (stripos($a->get_content(), $term))
$x = 1;

$y = 0;
if (stripos($b->get_title(),$t erm))
$y = 2;
elseif (stripos($b->get_content(), $term))
$y = 1;

return $x <= $y
}[/PHP]


i also tried to use this code on this site http://www.webmastersherpa.com/tools/search.txt


Please can someone either help me adapt either of these algorithms or help me write one that will work with my code.

Is it is the algoritm that does not return a value at all times?
Then use the ternary operator in your return statement, like
[php]return ($x <= $y) ? $x : $y;[/php]
that will either return the lowest of the $x or the $y value.

Thanks but i am trying to make it so that all the records are given a score by their relevance to the score and then sorted descendingly, thats what the 2 algorythyms i provided are meant to do, but when i trey to implement these 2 they do not work in my code provided, please could you help me implement them so that the code works.

thanks
