I needed a function to sort multi dimensional arrays, but case in-sensitive. I used Ichier function
with a little modification:
<?php
function array_csort() { //coded by Ichier2003
$args = func_get_args();
$marray = array_shift($args);
$msortline = "return(array_multisort(";
foreach ($args as $arg) {
$i++;
if (is_string($arg)) {
foreach ($marray as $row) {
// added by Marin for case in-sensitive search
$a = strtoupper($row[$arg]);
$sortarr[$i][] = $a;
}
} else {
$sortarr[$i] = $arg;
}
$msortline .= "\$sortarr[".$i."],";
}
$msortline .= "\$marray));";
eval($msortline);
return $marray;
}
?>
For usage of this function, see Ichier's post somewhere below
Thanks Ichier, a superb function indeed!
