I am trying to order an array produced by a foreach loop, here is my code:
$lowestvar = array();
foreach ($variations as $variation){
$lowestvar[] = $variation['price_html'];
}
I am then using array_multisort like this:
array_multisort($lowestvar, SORT_ASC);
print_r($lowestvar);
This works for the first looped item with a output of:
Array ( [0] => £10.00 [1] => £15.00 )
But the second array in the loop looks like this:
Array ( [0] => £10.00 [1] => £5.00 )
Any ideas on where i am going wrong?
You're sorting STRINGS, which means that 10 < 5 is true. Remember that string sorting go char-by-char, not by "entire value".
You can use usort() as like in the following example
function cmp($a1, $b1)
{
$a=str_replace('£','',$a1);
$b=str_replace('£','',$b1);
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
$a = array('£10.00','£5.00');
usort($a, "cmp");
print_r($a);
Output
Array
(
[0] => £5.00
[1] => £10.00
)

I have the array:
$total =array();
Array (
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 3
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 6
[1] => 7
[2] => 8
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 9
[1] => 10
)
)
I need to dynamically change each array into an indexed array for a Cartesian function.
Here is how I need the code to look for the function to work correctly:
$count = cartesian(
Array(1,3),
Array(6,7,8),
Array(9,10)
);
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have tried flattening, looping, using array_values, using just the array itself and I keep falling short.
Thanks
Nick
function cartesian() {
$_ = func_get_args();
if(count($_) == 0)
return array(array());
$a = array_shift($_);
$c = call_user_func_array(__FUNCTION__, $_);
$r = array();
foreach($a as $v)
foreach($c as $p)
$r[] = array_merge(array($v), $p);
return $r;
}
$count = call_user_func('cartesian', array($total));
print_r($count);
Your arrays already look exactly the way you want them to. array(1,3) is the same as array(0 => 1, 1 => 3) and both are an array with the value 1 at key 0 and 3 at key 1. Exactly what the debug output shows you.
It seems you just need to pass them as separate arguments to the function. E.g.:
cartesian($total[0], $total[1], $total[2])
For dynamic lengths of arrays, do:
call_user_func_array('cartesian', $total)
I believe that your $total array is multi-dimensional array with numeric indexed. So yo can try like this
$count = cartesian($total[0], $total[1], $total[2]);
Hello how to sort arrays by keys and values too... so if user input this value
$input = array(0,1,0,2,0);
then the result should be like this since they're the same input they should maintain their keys too...
Array
(
[0] => 0
[2] => 0
[4] => 0
[1] => 1
[3] => 2
)
not like this... the keys is jumbled and I really that key to work on my project of FCFS Scheduling.
Array
(
[4] => 0
[0] => 0
[2] => 0
[1] => 1
[3] => 2
)
btw I used asort. someone help me how to fix this?
function cmp($a, $b)
{
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
$a = array(0,1,0,2,0);
usort($a, "cmp");
foreach ($a as $key => $value) {
echo " $value\n";
}
Stable sort would help here. But php don't have any stable sorting functions since 4.1.
But you can use uksort + closure.
$input = array(0,1,0,2,0);
$cmp = function($a, $b) use($input){
if($input[$a] > $input[$b]){return 1;}
elseif($input[$a] < $input[$b]){return -1;}
elseif($a>$b){return 1;}
elseif($a<$b){return -1;}
return 0;
};
uksort($input, $cmp);
print_r($input);
https://eval.in/145923
Or shorter version
$cmp = function($a, $b) use($input){
return (($input[$a]-$input[$b])?:($a-$b));
};
Simple use the sort function
$input = array(0,1,0,2,0);
sort($input);
Result:-
Array
(
[0] => 0
[1] => 0
[2] => 0
[3] => 1
[4] => 2
)
Array
(
[0] => Jane Smith
)
Array
(
[0] => John Paul
)
Array
(
[0] => Jennifer
)
Array
(
[0] => Paolo
)
Array
(
[0] => Delilah
)
foreach($name as $a){
print_r($a);
}
Is it possible to alphabetically arrange this array?
How can i use the sort() in here?
Try this :
$array = your array
$result = call_user_func_array('array_merge', $array);
sort($result);
echo "<pre>";
print_r($result);
Try this:
<?php
$ar1 = array("Jane Smith", "John Paul ", "Jennifer", "Paolo","Delilah");
function alphasort($a, $b) {
if ($a['name'] == $b['name']) {
return 0;
}
return ($a['name'] < $b['name']) ? -1 : 1;
}
usort ($ar1,'alphasort');
echo '<pre>';
print_r($ar1);
?>
Result:
Array
(
[0] => Delilah
[1] => Jane Smith
[2] => Jennifer
[3] => John Paul
[4] => Paolo
)
Try like
$array = your array;
asort($array);
Try this LINK
Since it looks like you're trying to sort an array of arrays of strings instead of an array of strings, you cannot use sort().
$array = array(array('Jane Smith'), array('John Paul'), array('Jennifer'));
function cmp($a, $b)
{
$a = $a[0];
$b = $b[0];
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
usort($array, "cmp");
foreach($name as $a){
print_r($a);
}
Example code based on this documentation.
Take a look at here for all kinds of PHP array sorting. But for your specific question after doing array_merge() on all you arrays to have a single onw, either sort() or asort() should work just like this:
$all=array();
foreach($name as $a){
$all=array_merge($all, $a);
}
sort($all);
print_r($all);
OR
$all=array();
foreach($name as $a){
$all=array_merge($all, $a);
}
asort($a);
print_r($a);
I have array:
$array = array(array('2012-12-12', 'vvv'), array('2012-12-14', 'df'),array('2012-12-10', 'vvv'),array('2012-12-11', 'vvv'));
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 2012-12-12
[1] => vvv
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2012-12-14
[1] => df
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 2012-12-10
[1] => vvv
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 2012-12-11
[1] => vvv
)
)
http://codepad.org/gxw2yKMU
is possible to sort this with dates DESC? For this example should be:
$array[1] //2012-12-14
$array[0] //2012-12-12
$array[3] //2012-12-11
$array[2] //2012-12-10
For me the best way is use embedded functions for PHP, but how? :)
You can use usort with a custom function. If you're on PHP < 5.3 you'll need a named function rather than, as I have, an anonymous one.
$array = array(
array('2012-12-12', 'vvv'),
array('2013-12-14', 'df'),
array('2012-12-14', 'df'),
array('2012-12-10', 'vvv'),
array('2012-12-11', 'vvv')
);
usort($array, function($a, $b) {
if ($a[0] == $b[0]) return 0;
return ($a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
});
print_r($array);
You should be able to use usort
usort( $array, 'sortFunction' );
function sortFunction( $a, $b ) {
if( $a[0] == $b[0] )
return 0;
return ( $a[0] > $b[0] ? return -1 : 1 );
}
You can use array_multisort() :
foreach ($array as $key => $row) {
$dates[$key] = $row[0];
}
array_multisort($dates, SORT_DESC, $array);
First, you put out all dates in a new array. Then, array_multisort() will sort the second array ($array) in the same order than the first ($dates)
Let's say you have two arrays of arrays with the same structure but different count of arrays in them:
$arr1 = array(array(1,"b"), array(2,"a"), array(5,"c"));
$arr2 = array(array(3,"e"));
Now, the data in the $arr1 and $arr2 is sorted, and now what I would like it to merge these two arrays, so I did this:
$res = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);
And then I get an output like this:
1-b
2-a
5-c
3-e
But, I would like to have a sorted $res also like this:
1-b
2-a
3-e
5-c
I wonder if there's a function in PHP to do this automatically, without me having to write my own function? Or, please advise me on which is the best approach for this if I want to (later on) add sorting by the next parameter so the output would be like this
2-a
1-b
5-c
3-e
Thank you for all your help.
You can first merge the arrays and then sort the final array.
You are probably looking for a multi-sort function. I usually use this function (I found this functions somewhere on the internet years ago, credits go to the original author):
/*
* sort a multi demensional array on a column
*
* #param array $array array with hash array
* #param mixed $column key that you want to sort on
* #param enum $order asc or desc
*/
function array_qsort2 (&$array, $column=0, $order="ASC") {
$oper = ($order == "ASC")?">":"<";
if(!is_array($array)) return;
usort($array, create_function('$a,$b',"return (\$a['$column'] $oper \$b['$column']);"));
reset($array);
}
You can use it like this:
array_qsort2($res, 0, "ASC");
Why not simply call ksort($res) after your array_merge?
Since php v5.3 you can use anon functions in a more natural manner,
<?php
$arr1 = array(array(1,"b"), array(2,"a"), array(5,"c"));
$arr2 = array(array(3,"e"));
$res = array_merge($arr1, $arr2);
usort($res, function($a,$b) {
// php7
// return $a[0] <=> $b[0];
if ($a[0] == $b[0]) return 0;
return $a[0] < $b[0] ? -1 : 1;
});
print_r($res);
output
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => b
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2
[1] => a
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 3
[1] => e
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 5
[1] => c
)
)
You can use below function to merge two sorted arrays without array_merge() or sort().
<?php
$arr1 = [1,2,5,7,10,20,36,70,82,90];
$arr2 = [4,6,10,15,65,85,90,100];
function shortt($array1,$array2){
$array1_count = count($array1);
$array2_count = count($array2);
while ($array1_count || $array2_count)
{
$array1_empty = $array1 == [];
$array2_empty = $array2 == [];
if (!$array1_empty && !$array2_empty)
{
if (current($array1) < current($array2))
{
$array3[] = array_shift($array1);
$array1_count--;
}
else
{
$array3[] = array_shift($array2);
$array2_count--;
}
}
elseif (!$array1_empty)
{
$array3[] = array_shift($array1);
$array1_count--;
}
elseif (!$array2_empty)
{
$array3[] = array_shift($array2);
$array2_count--;
}
}
return $array3;
}
$newarr = shortt($arr1,$arr2);
print_r($newarr);
?>
