note 89009 added to control-structures.foreach

It should be pointed out in documentation that iterating with foreach on nonlinear (numerically-indexed) like: <?php $my_arr = array(); $my_arr[3] = 'chestnut'; $my_arr[1] = 'apple'; $my_arr[2] = 'banana'; ?> or assoc arrays with non-alphabetically ordered keys like: <?php $my_arr = array(); $my_arr['c'] = 'chestnut'; $my_arr['a'] = 'apple'; $my_arr['b'] = 'banana'; ?> will pull array values by the order of elements creation not by their indexes/keys alphabetical order as expected. <?php foreach ($my_arr as $key => $val) { echo 'key: '.$key.' val: '.$val.'<br />'; } ?> Will produce appropriately: key: 3 val: chestnut key: 1 val: apple key: 2 val: banana key: c val: chestnut key: a val: apple key: b val: banana To iterate through above arrays you need to sort them first by index/keys using ksort(). ---- Server IP: 193.95.141.37 Probable Submitter: 86.47.50.146 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/89009 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/89009 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/89009 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
