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: Another hint: if you pass the $data as a reference [for my example above: 'array_multisort($sort, &$data);'], it works - but this is deprecated, so this cant be the solution.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-13 07:03:27] matschek at gmx dot de 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-14 19:37:40] sniper@php.net No feedback was provided. The bug is being suspended because we assume that you are no longer experiencing the problem. If this is not the case and you are able to provide the information that was requested earlier, please do so and change the status of the bug back to "Open". 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
