Bug #16778 Updated: usort and uasort work only if you give them your array BY REFERENCE.

ID: 16778 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: jeremy@titr.uow.edu.au -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: Let's close this then. --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-23 22:14:17] jeremy@titr.uow.edu.au Shame on me ... I don't know how to read the php manual. In the manual, uasort returns a void ... and NOT the sorted array. Sorry guys, I was tired yesterday night when I tried for 2 hours to make this sort working. I don't think there is a need for a script any more no ? Thanks Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-23 20:24:12] sniper@php.net And please add a complete, short script which can be used to reproduce the problem. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-23 20:23:35] sniper@php.net The proto in PHP 4.2.0 for this function is: bool uasort ( array array, function cmp_function) Which means, that the fuction only returns TRUE or FALSE depending whether it succeeded or not. Please update to PHP 4.2.0 first. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-23 20:09:11] jeremy@titr.uow.edu.au The following code doesn't work : $received_array = uasort($send_array,"mycmp") $received_array isn't a correct array (but the integer 1 in general) Where if I do this : $received_array = uasort(&$send_array,"mycmp") $received_array is still not correct, but $send_array has been sorted. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16778&edit=1
