ID: 19617 Comment by: matschek at gmx dot de Reported By: jpapin at free dot fr Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Unix PHP Version: 4.2.0 New Comment: Tested with PHP 4.3.1, same problem: Globalized arrays cannot be sorted using array_multisort, although the functions returns TRUE! Another short piece of code to test: <? function test() { global $data; $data= array("first", "fifth", "second", "forth", "third"); $sort= array(1,5,2,4,3); array_multisort($sort, $data); print_r($data); } test(); ?> Without "global $data;" it works fine.

Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-26 11:14:55] sniper@php.net Works fine here with latest CVS head. Please, try PHP 4.2.3. (4.2.0 is really too old..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-26 11:11:59] jpapin at free dot fr Sorry, try this with and without "global $row;" <? function t() { global $row; $row = array(array("1","Php"),array(2,"I"),array(3,"Love")); foreach ( $row as $value ) { $sortarray[] = $value[1]; } array_multisort($sortarray,$row); print_r($row); echo "<br>"; print_r($sortarray); } t(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-26 10:42:59] sniper@php.net Please provide a short (!) complete and self-containing example script. You should also try with the 4.2.3 release. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-26 10:13:43] jpapin at free dot fr Using array_multisort in a function don't work if the array is "global" (you can paste the following code) : <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE></TITLE> </HEAD> <body> <? function t() { global $row; $file = fopen("file.txt","r") or die; while (!feof($file)) { $row[] = fgetcsv($file,80,";"); } /* $row[] like this Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 406 [1] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [2] => 5,72 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 001 [1] => zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [2] => 5,77 ) [2] => Array ( [0] => 402 [1] => aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [2] => 13,71 ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 009 [1] => fffffffffffffffffffff [2] => 7,61 ) ) I want to sort it on aaa.../fff.../xxx.../zzz... */ fclose($file); foreach ( $row as $value ) { $sortarray[] = $value[1]; } /* $sortarray like this Array ( [0] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [1] => zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [2] => aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [3] => ffffffffffffffffffff ) */ // I try to use array_multisort($row,$sortarray); too array_multisort($sortarray,$row); print_r($row); // no change for $row[], until i remove global for $row; echo "<br>"; print_r($sortarray); /* $sortarray[], now like this Array ( [0] => aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa [1] => ffffffffffffffffffff [2] => xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [3] => zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ) or no change if set to global too. */ } t(); ?> </body> </HTML> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=19617&edit=1
