Subject: [PHP] Sorting Help
I need to sort the following array:
{
[Smith, Bob]=>array(137.5,125.5),
[Jones, Robert]=>array(132.7,128.2)
}
The array needs to be sorted by the first number (i.e. 137.5) and then the
second in descending order. I looked at array_multisort but couldn't figure
out how to make work for my needs.
Thanks!
Floyd
Here is what I did to your array
$test = array("Smith, Bob"=>array(137.5,125.5),"Jones
Robert"=>array(132.7,128.2));
asort($test);
print_r('<pre>');
print_r($test);

That almost worked. I did an arsort() and got the following:
Array
(
[Guy, Matt] => Array
(
[0] => 164.67
[1] => 135.67
)
[Smith, Toby] => Array
(
[0] => 159.33
[1] => 132.33
)
[Young, Matt] => Array
(
[0] => 157.67
[1] => 131.67
)
[Shobe, Dale ] => Array
(
[0] => 157.67
[1] => 128.67
)
[King, Derrick] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 126.67
)
[Reynolds, Jeff] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 133.67
)
[Bobo, Tom] => Array
(
[0] => 152.33
[1] => 124.33
)
[Henderson, Cody] => Array
(
[0] => 150.33
[1] => 121.33
)
[McGuffin, Jimmy] => Array
(
[0] => 145.67
[1] => 118.67
)
[Stone, Richard] => Array
(
[0] => 145
[1] => 119.00
)
[Biggerstaff, David ] => Array
(
[0] => 142.33
[1] => 115.33
)
[Dennis, Daymon] => Array
(
[0] => 142
[1] => 114.00
)
[Bush, Duke] => Array
(
[0] => 141
[1] => 121.00
)
}
That's not the entire array but it sorts just fine except for two entries. For
some reason these two aren't sorting in descending order of the second element:
[King, Derrick] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 126.67
)
[Reynolds, Jeff] => Array
(
[0] => 155.67
[1] => 133.67
)
Everything else sorts just fine. I'm not sure why that is.
Thanks!
Floyd

Use a custom sorting function, then you can sort any way you want:

Check that you don't have a space in front of those values. That could cause
some confusion.

Can't say he doesn't have some good points, but he sure goes about it in a
dickish way.

Yes, he does have some good points and most, if not all, of those points
have been discussed on this list more than once. The problem with people
like this is that they choose not to contribute to solving the issues by
working with the dev team and perhaps even taking a leadership role.
I really am tired of hearing how "bad" PHP is. I use it every day and I
have used it for over a decade. Some things are difficult to accomplish
(re: the thread where Robert helped me tremendously over the past couple
of weeks). I have been tasked lately with updating and maintaining some
.net and classic ASP sites and believe me when I say that bad
programmers/developers make any language crap. I would love it of
languages were more consistent and concise across the board! For a
simple website C# is just as much overkill as anything else, not to
mention that the developer tools are expensive and come with a learning
curve all of their own.
Yes, there are nuances and inconsistencies. The same goes for any
language you care to trot out.

Wow. I wish I could find something that complete for Javascript.

Hi, Daevid
I think this discussion is incomplete without mentioning the feedback

Steve, THERE IS NO SUCH FILE in tinyweb. It turns to the operating
system asspciations to determine what to use to process the cgi,
then captures the returned stdio output and feeds THAT back as part
of the data stream back down the stack. Therefore, it is not
interfacing with the windows operating system properly, and as I do
not speak delphi, I am not sure how to go through the sourcecode and
rectify this.
If you like, I cna provide a link to the installer that adds it to a
windows computer so you can take a look- if you or anyone else is
interested. Oddly enough, it appears to handle python fine, and is
reported by others to also handle perl.
Kirk,
You have to tell your "tinyweb" what to do with the .php extensions... in
the config of the webserver, you will have to add a line saying where the
php binary is, or uncomment it (as it probably already exists) and restart
the webserver.
As it appears to me, since you can have some "code" on the screen, your
server does not know how to deal with it, so it will treat it like a text
file, and just spew the code out. Once you have it pointing to the php
binary, it will work.
Good luck!
Steve Staples.

I don't want to sound rude but I did say this before, why don't you
get zend server CE or xampp and install that?
