#24004 [NEW]: Bring back unchanging usort() values if equal

From: tuxedobob at mac dot com Operating system: Mac OS X 10.2.6 PHP version: 4.3.2 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Bring back unchanging usort() values if equal The script: <?php function comp($a, $b) { if (ceil($a) < ceil($b)) return (-1); if (ceil($a) > ceil($b)) return (1); return 0; } $arr = array('5.2', '5.4', '5.5', '5.9'); for ($x = 0; $x < 10; $x++) { usort($arr, "comp"); print_r($arr); } ?> (Any useful function can also be used for comp.) When running the above script, usort() reverses the array upon each iteration. The documentation says as much might happen. However, it's much more useful if it doesn't. Perhaps there can be a new function so usort() can work the way it did in PHP<=4.0.6 for when the speed penalty is not an issue? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24004&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24004&r=gnused
