note 116727 added to function.imap-fetch-overview

Judging from the comments here, it appears like people are forgetting the basics to already-available PHP sorting functions. Use usort(); and the tiniest custom function ever to compare them all. Change the arguments to imap_fetch_overview to your own, obviously. <?php $result = imap_fetch_overview($imap_stream, '1:10', 0); usort($result, function($a, $b) { return($b->udate-$a->udate); }); ?> This usort function will look at each overview and order them in the exact latest to oldest message order as determined by the "udate" value for each message. This works. I'm using it. They're sorted in the exact order they appear in my actual inbox. Why obfuscate it any more? ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 82.4.251.69 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.imap-fetch-overview.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116727 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116727 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116727 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
