note 109397 added to function.array-unshift

I wrote this function to sort the keys of an array using an array of keynames, in order. <?php /** * function array_reorder_keys * reorder the keys of an array in order of specified keynames; all other nodes not in $keynames will come after last $keyname, in normal array order * @param array &$array - the array to reorder * @param mixed $keynames - a csv or array of keynames, in the order that keys should be reordered */ function array_reorder_keys(&$array, $keynames){ if(empty($array) || !is_array($array) || empty($keynames)) return; if(!is_array($keynames)) $keynames = explode(',',$keynames); if(!empty($keynames)) $keynames = array_reverse($keynames); foreach($keynames as $n){ if(array_key_exists($n, $array)){ $newarray = array($n=>$array[$n]); //copy the node before unsetting unset($array[$n]); //remove the node $array = $newarray + array_filter($array); //combine copy with filtered array } } }?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 98.177.154.189 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unshift.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109397 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109397 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109397 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
