ID: 19617 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: jpapin at free dot fr -Status: Open +Status: Verified -Bug Type: Arrays related +Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Unix -PHP Version: 4.2.0 +PHP Version: 4.3.3-dev Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-06-08 04:45:12] jpapin at free dot fr A nice guy from Germany want me to turn the bug open again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-13 07:19:03] matschek at gmx dot de 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.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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.
