Re: [PHP] Date Sorting
Try using any of the sort functions: sort asort arsort ksort krsort ... That should get you started. -- Ray On Wed, 2003-10-01 at 07:18, Greg Wiley wrote: Apologies if this has been asked before but I couldn't find anything on google or any of the PHP code sites that quite fits my requirements. Here's the problem: I have a form which presents the user with a table of dates with checkboxes for a three month period, e.g. Dec 7th 14th21st28th am [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] pm [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Jan 4th 11th18th25th am [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] pm [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Feb 1st 8th 15th22nd29th am [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] pm [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] When the user submits the form with any of the boxes checked I want to have these sorted into date order. If I check Dec 28th am and pm, Jan 4th am and pm, Jan 18th am and pm and Feb 15th am and pm then the order returned in the _POST is: Dec 28 am, Dec 28 pm, Jan 4 am, Jan 18 am, Jan 4 pm, Jan 18 pm, Feb 15 am, Feb 15 pm This is, I believe, due to the order of the elements in the form. I tried using tabindex to influence the order returned but to no avail. So I'm now trying to do this in the php code that processes the submission. There is no year info such that I could turn the dates into timestamp and sort that way. Has anyone got any code that can sort this correctly?

Incorporate whatever sorting info you need into the value of the checkbox. input type=checkbox name=Dec 28 am value=insert timestamp for Dec 28 or whatever -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* leverage, n.: Even if someone doesn't care what the world thinks about them, they always hope their mother doesn't find out. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
