PHP - Php Sorting Issue
I am looking for information on how to accomplish this:
I want to order an array based on a variable. I have an array that is set like this array(1,2,3,4,5,6). I want to order this array base on a variable that will be in the array. So say my variable $x = 3, I want to order the array starting with the number right after the $x. So the array would look like this now array(4,5,6,1,2,3). Is this even possible? Another example if $x = 6, The array would be array(1,2,3,4,5,6). So basically order the array so that the set variable (in this case $x) will be at the end and the rest will run in order. Similar TutorialsGenerally I am able to help my self on the forums. But, this one has me stumped. I've done it before and I don't remember it being this hard. The array looks something like so $users['id'] = '00001','00002','0003' $users['jobs'] = '22','322','112' $users['connected'] = '12','210','89' $users['percent'] = '54','65','89' I've used so much different things to try and take those, keep the data together (index 0 might be moved to 2, but all values from 0 are moved to 2) and sort by 'percent'. So I can display the person that has the highest percentage first. Basically the data was originally a CSV that is now in a database and is pulled, percentages calculated and then displayed. But the order is off. There is a bunch more data then show but I'm using PHP to do all the math for adding up jobs, seeing whats connected right and then coming up with a percentage, sticking it all in an array so I can sort it; but for some reason I cannot remember how I've done this before. Hello. I have a multi dimensional array that needs to be sorted. Array top25 [index][product id][number_of_purchases]. The index will contain a unique number for each product id. First product will be 1, second product will be 2, etc. The product id will be a id number like 34324ac9a89. The number of purchases will be how many times the item has been purchased. - End result: I want to print the 25 most purchased products in this format. product id - number of purchases a39acz - 503 a8cz9c - 480 zc8ac - 392 How do I do this? Thanks i need to sort my database results by the day they were added to the database. There is a column with the timestamp of when they were inserted but how do i group them by the day they were inserted so i can display them as such: Mon 14th: 5 records Tues 15th: 11 records etc. I have a situation where I need to sort files on a screen based on the date that is embedded into the file name. The problem is that I am sorting based off the file name, and when I get my output the LEGACY file always comes out on top of the sort because it starts with a 0 meanwhile the rest have dates appended the the filename so I don't have a problem sorting those. Please help me if you can. <? //Special case for extra files IF($Recordmyrow['App'] == "(Printable)") { $display = false; $column3 = "Printable VER"; IF($securityvalue == "P") { if(substr($path, 0, 5) == "file:") { $filename = substr($path, 5); if(file_exists($filename)) { $basename = substr($filename, 0, strrpos($filename, '.')); $ext = ".pdf"; $allfiles = glob("{$basename}*.pdf"); rsort($allfiles, SORT_NUMERIC); foreach($allfiles as $file) { if($ext == ".pdf") { $column4 = "<a href=\"pdf.php?src={$file}\">VIEW</a><br />\n"; $codate = substr($file, 70, 8); $co = substr($file, 59, 1); if ($codate != "pdf") { $column3 = "Printable File - ".$codate; } elseif ($codate == "pdf") { $column3 = "Printable File - LEGACY"; } IF($lastGroup != $Recordmyrow['Grouping']) { $lastGroup = $Recordmyrow['Grouping']; ?> <TR> <TD colspan="4" align="center" bgcolor="#418765"><B><FONT color="white"><? echo $Recordmyrow['Grouping'] ?></FONT></B></TD> </TR> <? } ?> <TR> <TD class="display" align="center" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>"><B><? echo $column1 ?></B></TD> <TD class="display" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>"><B><? echo $column2 ?></B></TD> <TD class="display" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>"><B><? echo $column3 ?></B></TD> <TD class="display" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>" align="center"><B><? echo $column4 ?></B></TD> </TR> <? $rowcount++; } } } else { $column4 = "Not Available"; ?> <TR> <TD class="display" align="center" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>"><B><? echo $column1 ?></B></TD> <TD class="display" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>"><B><? echo $column2 ?></B></TD> <TD class="display" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>"><B><? echo $column3 ?></B></TD> <TD class="display" bgcolor="<?=changeColor($rowcount)?>" align="center"><B><? echo $column4 ?></B></TD> </TR> <? $rowcount++; } } } } I have an array like this: $array[$row] = array ( 'name' = $name, 'discount' = $discount, 'price' = $price ); Now, I have about 200 of those in that array, and im trying to sort by the discount, highest 1st. How would I go about doing that? Thanks.

Or would this not work ?
