note 107081 added to function.sort

Holdoffhunger was looking for a way to sort strings by their length. Here is a much smaller and less roundabout way: <?php usort( $array_of_data, function( $x, $y ){ return strlen( $x ) - strlen( $y ); } ); ?> This will sort shortest-to-longest; if you want longest-to-shortest then reverse the equation: strlen( $y ) - strlen( $x ). Requires PHP 5.3 or greater! ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.55 Probable Submitter: 67.173.79.61 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/107081 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/107081 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/107081 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
