Bug description: sort functions
$test[0] = 0;
$test[1] = 1;
$test[2] = 2;
asort($test);
I hate this, a function should never modify a variable, it should return
the new modified variable. they syntax should be
$test = asort($test);
there are good reasons or this. I hate needing a variable sorted for one
command and having to make a temp var just todo that.
$tmp = $test;
asort($tmp);
foreach( $tmp as $pos => $val )
where it could be.
foreach( asort($test) as $pos => $val )
saves time and ledgibility. I understand its not easy to change the syntax
now. if you wanted to make some work or yourself you could make this a
php.ini option. if you want something simpler on your end, just make a new
set of functions, thats what Ive done.
function my_asort($array)
{
asort($array);
return $array);
}
even if you dont want to ever include this into base php, at least make
asort return the newly modified variable.
$tmp = $test;
foreach( asort($tmp) as $pos => $val )
