Bug #764 Updated: ksort mixes the implicit variable types and result is unexpected.

ID: 764 User Update by: libs@cybercable.tm.fr Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Old-Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Description: ksort mixes the implicit variable types and result is unexpected. <? $toto["001"]="a"; $toto["010"]="c"; $toto[(string)"100"]="d"; $toto["002"]="b"; $toto["110"]="e"; ksort($toto); for(reset($toto); $test = key($toto); next($toto)) { echo ($test." (".gettype($test).") : ".$toto[$test]."<BR>\n"); }; ?> gives 100 (integer) : d<BR> 110 (integer) : e<BR> 001 (string) : a<BR> 002 (string) : b<BR> 010 (string) : c<BR> instead of : 001 (whatever) : a<BR> 002 (whatever) : b<BR> 010 (whatever) : c<BR> 100 (whatever) : d<BR> 110 (whatever) : e<BR> It is agreed that it is not a bug, but the intended functionality is still not available. To make it available at some later time, I would suggest putting either kasort() or kusort() in some TODO list. By kasort() I mean a variation of ksort() which only considers the string value in the sorting comparisons. It wouldn't have to change the types of keys inside the array, just sort them in another way. By kusort() I mean to do something like: function cmp($a,$b) { if($a==$b) return 0; return ((string)$a>(string)$b) ? 1:-1; } kusort($toto, cmp): [config irrelevant] Full Bug description available at: http://ca.php.net/bugs.php3?id=764 -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
