note 69241 added to function.array-multisort

I was looking for a way to dynamically multisort my array. By dynamically I mean that its not static what column will be sorted and if its ASC or DESC, and the ability to have more than one sorts. This is the way a database would allow you to do. The best way to dynamically do this, is by using eval. The code below is partly what I used. (eg, I left out where the arrays were made and stuff, but the important part is here.) <? $orderby_arr = array("col1 ASC";"col2 DESC"); // prepare multisort using eval $eval_sort = "array_multisort("; if ($orderby !="") { $orderby_arr_c = count($orderby_arr); for ($orderby_walk=0; $orderby_walk < $orderby_arr_c; $orderby_walk++) { $pos = strpos($orderby_arr[$orderby_walk], " "); $orderby_col = substr($orderby_arr[$orderby_walk], 0, $pos); $orderby_type = substr($orderby_arr[$orderby_walk], $pos+1); $eval_sort .= "\$this->OrderBy[$orderby_col]" . ", SORT_$orderby_type,"; } } $eval_sort .= " \$this->Current_Query);"; // if there's an array, sort it. if ($this->Current_Query_m != -1) eval($eval_sort); ?> ---- Server IP: 83.137.20.120 Probable Submitter: 193.172.8.207 (proxied: 1.0 STAAA02) ---- X-Spam-Status: No, hits=3.1 required=5.0 tests=DATE_MISSING,FROM_NO_LOWER autolearn=no version=2.64 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-multisort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/69241 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/69241 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/69241 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
