PHP - Sorting Complex Array

I have the following php array structure and couldnot able to sort it according to the overall points. My code is reading an xml file using simplexml. Any help would be appreciated.

Array
(
    => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [played] => 0
            [won] => 0
            [drawn] => 0
            [lost] => 0
            [overallpoints] => 0
        )

    [1] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [played] => 6
            [won] => 3
            [drawn] => 0
            [lost] => 3
            [overallpoints] => 9
        )

    [2] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [played] => 3
            [won] => 1
            [drawn] => 0
            [lost] => 2
            [overallpoints] => 3
        )

    [3] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [played] => 0
            [won] => 0
            [drawn] => 0
            [lost] => 0
            [overallpoints] => 0
        )

    [4] => SimpleXMLElement Object
        (
            [played] => 2
            [won] => 1
            [drawn] => 0
            [lost] => 1
            [overallpoints] => 3
        )
}

I have an array that looks like this...

Code: [Select]
Array (
    [0] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => Dylan Cross )
    [1] => Array ( [0] => 5 [1] => Bob Smith )
    [2] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => Sarah Park )
    [3] => Array ( [0] => 7 [1] => Jane Knowles )
    [4] => Array ( [0] => 6 [1] => Harry Hill )
    [5] => Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => Jack Rock )
)

How do I sort this array so it is ordered alphabetically by the names so the result will be...

Code: [Select]
Array (
    [0] => Array ( [0] => 5 [1] => Bob Smith )
    [1] => Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => Dylan Cross )
    [2] => Array ( [0] => 6 [1] => Harry Hill )
    [3] => Array ( [0] => 3 [1] => Jack Rock )
    [4] => Array ( [0] => 7 [1] => Jane Knowles )
    [5] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => Sarah Park )
)

Thanks

Hello!

I have a 2D array that look as follows:

$test["name"][0] = "arnold";
$test["name"][1] = "nate";
$test["name"][2] = "steve";

$test["id"][0] = 2;
$test["id"][1] = 0;
$test["id"][2] = 1;

This means arnold has an ID of 2, nate has an ID of 0 and steve has an ID of 1.
Now I want to sort the array based on the ID value, so I want to achieve the following result:

$test["name"][0] = "nate";
$test["name"][1] = "steve";
$test["name"][2] = "arnold";

How would I achieve this? Help much appreciated.

I am attempting to sort an array by price but cannot seem to get php to do this. Below is the array I am attempting to sort by the value ~ price:

Hi does anyone know how to sort the array below (files)
   echo "<br /><br /><b>Favorites</b><br />";
   $d = dir("/mnt/disk/v1/mfiles/downloads/music/favorites/");
      while (false !== ($entry = $d->read()))
         {
            if($entry!='.' && $entry!='..')
               {
                  if(is_dir($entry))
                     {
                        echo 'true';
                        $subdirs = get_leaf_dirs($entry);
                        if ($subdirs)
                           $array = asort(array_merge($array, $subdirs));
                        else
                           $array[] = $entry;
                     }
                     echo '<a href="/scripts/download.php?actie=favorites/'.$entry.'" title="Click here to download this song" target="_blank">'.left($entry,(strlen($entry)-4)).'</a><br />';
               }
         }
         $d->close();

The following code works, but I need to take it a step further and I'm not sure how. What I'd like to do is sort the output so the highest point totals get printed first (along with the associated information). Can anyone help?

Here's the site:

http://www.beat-the-spread.net/seasontotals.php


Here's the code:
Code: [Select]
$i=1;
$w=1;
$result = mysql_query( "
SELECT team_name, owner
FROM teams" );
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo "<tr>\n",
"</td><td>",
$row['owner'],
"</td><td>",
$row['team_name'];

$result1 = mysql_query( "
SELECT bye, owner_pts
FROM schedule
WHERE team = $i");
$num_rows = mysql_num_rows($result1);

while ($row1 = mysql_fetch_array($result1))
{

$totalpts = $totalpts + $row1['owner_pts'];

if (empty($row1['bye']))
{
echo "</td><td>", $row1['owner_pts'], "</tr>\n";
}
else
{
echo "</td><td>","0","</tr>\n";
}

}

while ($num_rows<=16)
{
echo "</td><td>","","</tr>";
$num_rows++;
}

echo "</td><td>","$totalpts","</tr>";
$totalpts=0;
$w++;
$i++;
}

echo "</table>\n";

mysql_close($con);


Thanks!

Hi - I'm modifying some PHP code that someone else wrote. Below is a snippet of code that basically takes mp3 files files within all the folders in a directory, and creates an RSS feed. In the resulting feed, the files are intermingled in date order.

Instead, I'd like them sorted by the directory that they are in. So, if there are files in these directories:

01-First
02-Second
03-Third

I'd like all the files in the "01-First" directory to come before the "02-Second" directory and so on. Within each directory the files can be sorted as they currently are.  The name of the directory in the code is signified by $dir_name.

I tried sort() and array_multisort() but I couldn't get either of them to work the way I wanted.  Any thoughts?


if ($url_params['mode'] == 'rss2') {

print getRSSHeader('UTF-8', $device, $vm_config, $vm_name, $web_master, $logo_image,$context);
    $mailboxes = array();
if ($dev_dir = @opendir($VMHome . $device)) { //might fail if mailbox has not received first message yet
while ($f = readdir($dev_dir)) {
     if (!eregi("tmp","$f") && !eregi("\.+","$f") && !eregi("Exclude-From-CD", "$f")) { //skip tmp directory and Exclude-From-CD Directories   
     array_push($mailboxes,"$f"); #collect all existing mailboxes
     }
  }
     array_multisort($mailboxes, SORT_DESC);
foreach ($mailboxes as $mailbox) {
$files=array();
$dir_name = $VMHome . $device . '/'. $mailbox .'/'; 
$dir = opendir($dir_name);
while ($f = readdir($dir)) {
  if (eregi("\.txt",$f)){ #if filename matches .txt in the name
     array_push($files,"$f"); #push into $files array
  }
}
foreach($files as $file){
   $props = getProperties($dir_name, $file);
   $uid = getMP3File($dir_name, $file, $props, $device, $mailbox, $vm_config, $vm_name,$context);
   print getRSSItem ($props, $uid, $dir_name, $device, '/' . $mailbox . '/', $context);      
}
}
}
print  '

How to sort PHP2d Array using upon key.  eg.
I have a array of
$users[0]['name'] = "abc"
$users[0]['age'] = "12"
$users[0]['sex'] = "M";

$users[1]['name'] = "xyz"
$users[1]['age'] = "15"
$users[1]['sex'] = "M";

$users[2]['name'] = "pqr"
$users[2]['age'] = "16"
$users[2]['sex'] = "F";

Now I have to sort in on age or 'sex',

I have an array and when i do a print_r(), i get this:

Array ( => Array ( [path] => 1 [order] => 2 ) [1] => Array ( [path] => 2 [order] => 2 ) [2] => Array ( [path] => 3 [order] => 1 ) )

I want to sort it so that the array with an order of 1 is at the front, i.e. that last array in this case. I tried asort but that didnt do anything...

I have an array that has data in it and its being sorted like this:

Code: [Select]
Source 1 (zip): filename.zip
Source 1 (jpg): filename.jpg
Source 1 (png): filename.png
Source 2 (zip): filename.zip
Source 2 (jpg): filename.jpg
Source 2 (png): filename.png
Source 3 (zip): filename.zip
Source 3 (jpg): filename.jpg
Source 3 (png): filename.png

Id like the data to be sorted like this instead, but i dont know how to get it to sort this way:

Code: [Select]
Source 1 (zip): filename.zip
Source 2 (zip): filename.zip
Source 3 (zip): filename.zip
Source 1 (jpg): filename.jpg
Source 2 (jpg): filename.jpg
Source 3 (jpg): filename.jpg
Source 1 (png): filename.png
Source 2 (png): filename.png
Source 3 (png): filename.png

Here's my code: any help is appreciated. thanks.

for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++) {
$src[$i] = 'Source '.$i.' ('.$ext.'): '.$filename.'';
array_multisort($src, SORT_ASC, SORT_STRING);
}

So i've got a CSV file, pull data from it and it's stored within an array. $data[0] contains date that looks like so 9/14/2011 00:00:00. How can i sort this array before displaying it so that it's sorted by Date ASC by default.

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (($handle = fopen("http://www.website.com/images/uploads/Recruitment_for_Web.csv", "r")) !== FALSE) 
{
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 10000, ",")) !== FALSE) 
{
echo '<tr>';
echo '<td>' . str_replace("0:00:00","",$data[0]) . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $data[1] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $data[2] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $data[3] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $data[4] . '</td>';
echo '<td>'; 
if($data[7] != "")
{
echo '<a href="' . $data[7] . '" target="_blank">' . $data[5] . '</a>';
}
else
{
echo $data[5];
}
echo '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $data[6] . '</td>';
echo '</tr>';
   
}
fclose($handle);
}
?>
Thanks

I can't quite figure out how to sort this array the way I want.  I have tried "array_multisort" but can only get one demension to sort.

Here is the array...

$catagory = array(   
   array('Catagory 1', 8,
      array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 1', 8),
      array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 2', 9),
      array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 3', 7),
      array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 4', 6),
      ),

   array('Catagory 2', 10,
      array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 1', 6),
      array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 2', 5),
      array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 3', 9),
      array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 4', 10),
      ),
     );

I would like the top catagories sorted in desending order and all the subcatagories sorted in desending order.  The result would sort like this...

Catagory 2  = 10
    Sub Catagory 2 Item 4 = 10
    Sub Catagory 2 Item 3 = 9
    Sub Catagory 2 Item 1 = 6
    Sub Catagory 2 Item 2 = 5
Catagory 1 = 8
    Sub Catagory 1 Item 2 = 9
    Sub Catagory 1 Item 1 = 8
    Sub Catagory 1 Item 3 = 7
    Sub Catagory 1 Item 4 = 6

How can I achieve this.  Thanks for any help.

Hi All

I'm new to php and I have a multidimensional array set up which I need to sort for a results list from an assessment.

The array is $gradout['name']['userid']=score.

I need to sort the array by score in a decending order. 

['name'] is a string and ['userid'] is a numeric.

I've tried looking at the php manual but It's just confusing me.  Can anyone explain to me in laymans terms what I need to do and why.

I have an array of type
Code: [Select]
Array ( [2] => Array ( [name] => Shelby Baptist Medical Ctr [city] => Alabaster ) [1] => Array ( [name] => Andalusia Regional Hospital [city] => Andalusia ) [0] => Array ( [name] => Long Term Hospital of Anniston [city] => Anniston ))
How can sort the keys of an array but there content remains the same so that they are like
Code: [Select]
Array ( [0] => Array ( [name] => Shelby Baptist Medical Ctr [city] => Alabaster ) [1] => Array ( [name] => Andalusia Regional Hospital [city] => Andalusia ) [2] => Array ( [name] => Long Term Hospital of Anniston [city] => Anniston ))
Can someone please point me if there is any func. for this
