ID: 32219 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: php-france at mattoug dot net -Status: Verified +Status: Assigned Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: * PHP Version: 4CVS-2005-03-09 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: derick New Comment: Derick, so is it a bug or not? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-08 23:33:03] sniper@php.net Saying that something is supported in PHP 5 isn't gonna make this 'feature' (or fix, IMO) end up in PHP 4. Backport it is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-08 23:17:10] derick@php.net No bug here, PHP 4 never had support for sorting locale based. I added this function to PHP 5.0.2 to support it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-08 23:11:54] sniper@php.net It's a bug if *sort() functions can't handle locales correctly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-07 23:49:57] derick@php.net No bug here, the functions don't understand locales unless you add as second "sort-flag" parameter SORT_LOCALE_STRING to asort(). This option is introduced in PHP 5.0.2. The following works fine (if you have the fr_FR locale installed): <?php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR'); $table = array("AB" => "Alberta", "BC" => "Colombie-Britannique", "MB" => "Manitoba", "NB" => "Nouveau-Brunswick", "NL" => "Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador", "NS" => "Nouvelle-Écosse", "ON" => "Ontario", "PE" => "Île-du-Prince-Édouard", "QC" => "Québec", "SK" => "Saskatchewan", "NT" => "Territoires du Nord-Ouest", "NU" => "Nunavut", "YT" => "Territoire du Yukon"); asort($table, SORT_LOCALE_STRING); var_dump($table); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-03-07 19:31:22] sniper@php.net With what locale do you expect that output? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
