sort list by latest

Hi, I want to know how can I display a product list starting from the last product id.

      <?php foreach($products as $product_id => $product){
                echo product_list($product_id,$product);
                                }  
    ?>

in the build a simple php app tutorial, the guy limits the view with only four latest item. I don't want to limit the items with only four items, I want to display them all starting with the latest items.

thanks, don

What sort of data is held in the $product variable?

Is the product data retrieved from a database?

Try this

<?php

$products = array();

$products[101] = array( "id" => "1", "name" => "joe" );

$products[102] = array( "id" => "2", "name" => "nick" );

$products[103] = array( "id" => "3", "name" => "john" );


   foreach($products as $product){

                        $display = $product["id"]." ".$product["name"]."<br>".$display;
                                 // 1  Joe break
                         // 2  nick break (1  Joe <br>)
                         // 3  john break (2  nick <br> (1  Joe <br>))
                    }  

                    echo $display; //3  john <br>, 2  nick <br>, 1  Joe <br>
    ?>

Hi Scott,

no, it's in a collection of array.

like this

$products = array();

$products[101] = array(
   "id" => "1",
   "name" => "joe"
);

$products[102] = array(
   "id" => "2",
   "name" => "nick"
);
            ```
