#36502 [NEW]: Windows/Linux inconsistency for array_multisort

From: kevin at theposseltd dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.4.2 PHP Bug Type: *General Issues Bug description: Windows/Linux inconsistency for array_multisort Description: ------------ My development system is Windows based (XP)PHP 4.4.0 and after uploading the code to my hosting server (LINUX PHP 4.4.2) I get error messages when running the code, which worked fine on Windows. Nobody seems to be able to help me - so I suspect it may be a bug or inconsistency between 4.4.0 and 4.4.2 I am trying to sort a multidimensional array using array_multisort - the coding works perfectly on my development system but not on the Linux host site. Reproduce code: --------------- array structure looks like ... (line taken from actual structure) [17] => Array ( [0] => 98 [event_ID] => 98 [1] => 5 [event_code] => 5 [2] => 0 [event_SIG_code] => 0 [3] => Attraction [event_type] => Attraction [4] => Lookout Discovery Centre [event_name] => Lookout Discovery Centre [5] => Party [event_description] => Party [6] => OmVMYV [event_geocode] => OmVMYV [7] => RG12 7QW [event_postcode] => RG12 7QW [8] => 2005-10-07 [event_start_date] => 2005-10-07 [distance] => Array ( [kilometers] => 43.55 [meters] => 43545.49 [miles] => 27.06 [furlongs] => 216.46 [feet] => 142865.79 [yards] => 47621.93 [inches] => 1714389.5 [nautical] => 23.51 [error] => 0 ) ) Code causing the issue ... foreach ($sort_result as $res) { $sortAux[] = $res['event_code']; array_multisort($sortAux, SORT_ASC,$sort_result);} // Re-sorts the GeoCode array by event_code Expected result: ---------------- Expect the array to be sorted by 'event_code'(as it does in Windows system) Actual result: -------------- Actual error output: Warning: array_multisort(): Array sizes are inconsistent in /content/StartupHostPlus/t/e/tellmewhatson.co.uk/web/event_headline_search.php on line 65 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=36502&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=trysnapshot51 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=36502&r=mysqlcfg
