uksort

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

uksortBir diziyi kullanıcı tanımlı bir işlev kullanarak anahtarlarına göre sıralar

Açıklama

uksort(array &$dizi, callable $karş_işlevi): true

Bu işlev kullanıcı tarafından sağlanmış bir karşılaştırma işlevini kullanarak diziyi "anahtarlarına" göre sıralar.

Bilginize:

İki üye karşılaştırıldığında eşitse bunların özgün sıralamadaki yerleri korunur. PHP 8.0.0 öncesinde sıralı dizideki göreli yerleri tanımsızdı.

Bilginize:

Dahili dizi göstericisi ilk elemana atanır.

Bağımsız Değişkenler

dizi

Sıralanacak dizi.

karş_işlevi

Karşılaştırma işlevinin, ilk bileşeninin ikinci bileşenden küçük, eşit veya büyük olması durumunda sıfırdan küçük, eşit veya büyük bir tamsayı döndürmesi gerekir.

callback(mixed $a, mixed $b): int
Dikkat

Karşılaştırma işlevinden float gibi tamsayı olmayan değerlerin döndürülmesi, geri çağırım işlevinin dönüş değerinin dahili olarak int türüne dönüştürülmesiyle sonuçlanır. Bu nedenle 0.99 ve 0.1 gibi değerlerin her ikisi de 0 tamsayı değerine dönüştürüp bunlar eşit değerler olarak karşılaştırılacaktır.

Dönen Değerler

Daima true döndürür.

Sürüm Bilgisi

Sürüm: Açıklama
8.2.0 Dönüş türü artık true;evvelce, bool idi.
8.0.0 Eğer işleve bağımsız değişkenlerinden biri gönderimli aktarılıyorsa, bu artık E_WARNING seviyesinde bir uyarıya sebep oluyor.

Örnekler

Örnek 1 - uksort() örneği

<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
$a = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $a);
$b = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $b);
return
strcasecmp($a, $b);
}

$a = array("John" => 1, "the Earth" => 2, "an apple" => 3, "a banana" => 4);

uksort($a, "cmp");

foreach (
$a as $key => $value) {
echo
"$key: $value\n";
}
?>

Yukarıdaki örneğin çıktısı:

an apple: 3
a banana: 4
the Earth: 2
John: 1

[Editor's note: the following comment may be factually incorrect]

uksort is only usable in the UK
<?php
if($country=="UK"){
uksort();
}else{
echo
"You have to live in UK to use uksort().";

(about sorting an array of objects by their properties in a class - inspired by webmaster at zeroweb dot org at usort function)
I'm using classes as an abstraction for querying records in a database and use arrays of objects to store records that have an 1 to n relationship. E.g. a class "family" has family members stored as an array of objects. Each of those objects prepresents a record in a database related to the family (by it's familyId).

To identify members, I'm using their memberId as the key of the array e.g. $family->members[$memberId].
To sort the family members AFTER fetching them with the database query, you can use the functions _objSort and sortMembers which will sort the "members" array by key using it's properties (for space reasons I didn't include the methods used to open the records):
<?php
class familyMember
{
var
$memberId;
var
$familyId;
var
$firstName;
var
$age;
var
$hairColor;
// ...
}

class
family
{
var
$familyId;
var
$name;
var
$members = array(); // array of familyMember objects
var $sortFields = array();
var
$sortDirections = array();
// ...
function _objSort(&$a, &$b, $i = 0)
{
$field = $this->sortFields[$i];
$direction = $this->sortDirections[$i];

$diff = strnatcmp($this->details[$a]->$field, $this->details[$b]->$field) * $direction;
if (
$diff == 0 && isset($this->sortFields[++$i]))
{
$diff = $this->_objSort($a, $b, $i);
}

return
$diff;
}

function
sortMembers($sortFields)
{
$i = 0;
foreach (
$sortFields as $field => $direction)
{
$this->sortFields[$i] = $field;
$direction == "DESC" ? $this->sortDirections[$i] = -1 : $this->sortDirections[$i] = 1;
$i++;
}

uksort($this->details, array($this, "_objSort"));

$this->sortFields = array();
$this->sortDirections = array();
}
}
// open a family
$familyId = 5;
$family = new family($familyId);
$family->open(); // this will also fetch all members

// sort members by 3 fields
$family->sortMembers(array("firstName" => "ASC", "age" => "DESC", "hairColor" => "ASC"));
// output all family members
foreach ($family->members as $member)
{
echo
$member->firstName." - ".$member->age." - ".$member->hairColor."<br />";
}
?>

Note that this might not be the fastest thing on earth and it hasn't been tested very much yet but I hope it's useful for someone.

One remark regarding array_sorter class.
It won't work correctly with eg. dates from mysql like 20041206105350, cause you can't convert such number into integer. To fix it remove intval() from the code. If the variable is a number it will work without converting this to int anyways. Here is the fix.

<?php
....
if (
$a == $b)
return
0;
if (
$this->sasc)
return (
$a > $b) ? 1 : -1;
else
return (
$a > $b) ? -1 : 1;
...
?>

Regarding the recursive sorting function above:
Genrally speaking, any recursion can be reimplemented using simple iteration. in the specific case, using recursion to compare strings has a huge performance impact while a simple loop would suffice and be faster and more simple.
Recursion is only good if it simplifies your code or your understanding of the concept. the previous example does neither, especially as it does a lot of repetitive things in each iteration, such as asigning the character order constant, rebuilding it into an array and such

For example, the string comparison could be written as such :
function str_compare($a,$b) {
$order="aA??bBcC&#269;&#268;..."; // longer normally & without that html entities
$default = strlen($a) - strlen($b);
$minlen = strlen($a) < strlen($b) ? strlen($a) : strlen($b);
for ($i = 0; $i < $minlen; $i++) {
$pos_a=strpos($order,$a[$i]);
$pos_b=strpos($order,$b[$i]);
if ($pos_a != $pos_b)
return $pos_a - $pos_b;
}
return $default;
}

Which is much simpler and faster.
Note that the above function will break for characters that are not listed in $order. it should be failry trivial to fix it.

Here is a small and very fast object to handle sorting of multidimentional arrays by a key.
<?php
/**

*/
class array_sorter
{
var
$skey = false;

var
$sasc = true;

/**

function array_sorter(&$array, $key, $asc=true)
{
$this->sarray = $array;
$this->skey = $key;
$this->sasc = $asc;
}

/**

*/
function sortit($remap=true)
{
$array = &$this->sarray;
uksort($array, array($this, "_as_cmp"));
if (
$remap)
{
$tmp = array();
while (list(
$id, $data) = each($array))
$tmp[] = $data;
return
$tmp;
}
return
$array;
}

/**
* Custom sort function
*
* @access private
* @param mixed $a an array entry
* @param mixed $b an array entry
*/
function _as_cmp($a, $b)
{
//since uksort will pass here only indexes get real values from our array
if (!is_array($a) && !is_array($b))
{
$a = $this->sarray[$a][$this->skey];
$b = $this->sarray[$b][$this->skey];
}

//if string - use string comparision
if (!ctype_digit($a) && !ctype_digit($b))
{
if (
$this->sasc)
return
strcasecmp($a, $b);
else
return
strcasecmp($b, $a);
}
else
{
if (
intval($a) == intval($b))
return
0;

if (
$this->sasc)
return (
intval($a) > intval($b)) ? -1 : 1;
else
return (
intval($a) > intval($b)) ? 1 : -1;
}
}

}
//end of class
?>

Sample $input_array:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 961
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 147
[created] => 20041206105350
[modified] => 20041206110702
)

[1] => Array
(
[id] => 41
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 153
[created] => 20041025154009
[modified] => 20041206105532
)

[2] => Array
(
[id] => 703
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 419
[created] => 20041025154132
[modified] => 20041027150259
)

Example of usage:
<?php
function multi_sort(&$array, $key, $asc=true)
{
$sorter = new array_sorter($array, $key, $asc);
return
$sorter->sortit();
}
//sort by parent_id in descending order
$my_array = multi_sort($input_array, "parent_id", false);
?>

The result array will be:
Array
(

[0] => Array
(
[id] => 703
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 419
[created] => 20041025154132
[modified] => 20041027150259
)

[1] => Array
(
[id] => 41
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 153
[created] => 20041025154009
[modified] => 20041206105532
)

[2] => Array
(
[id] => 961
[uid] => 29
[gid] => 12
[parent_id] => 147
[created] => 20041206105350

If you need to periodically sort by grades (A, A+, D-, etc.), here is a compare function that compares strings by the case-insensitive method, unless it finds a grade, in which case it correctly sorts by putting "plus" grades first, unmarked grades second, and "minus" grades last.

<?php
function cmp($a, $b)
{
$a = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $a);
$b = preg_replace('@^(a|an|the) @', '', $b);

//special code for grades
if (strpos( $a, "+") !== false || strpos( $b, "+") !== false ||
strpos( $a, "-") !== false || strpos( $b, "-") !== false ){

$substrA = substr($a, 0, 1);
$substrB = substr($b, 0, 1);

$modifierA = (strlen($a) == 2) ? substr($a, 1, 1) : "";
$modifierB = (strlen($b) == 2) ? substr($b, 1, 1) : "";

if (
$substrA == $substrB){
//figure out plusses and minuses.
if ($modifierA == "+"){
return -
1;
} else if (
$modifierB == "+"){
return
1;
}

if (
$modifierA == "-"){
return
1;
} else if (
$modifierB == '-'){
return -
1;
}
} else {
return
strcasecmp($a, $b);
}

}
return
strcasecmp($a, $b);
}

$grades = array(
"C+" => 13 ,
"C" => 10 ,
"D+" => 8 ,
"B+" => 7 ,
"C-" => 6 ,
"A-" => 5 ,
"F" => 5 ,
"B" => 4 ,
"B-" => 4 ,
"D" => 3 ,
"D-" => 3 ,
"A+" => 1
);

uksort($grades, "cmp");
?>

result: Array
(
[A+] => 1
[A-] => 5
[B+] => 7
[B] => 4
[B-] => 4
[C+] => 13
[C] => 10
[C-] => 6
[D+] => 8
[D] => 3
[D-] => 3
[F] => 5
)

This might be obvious to many, but just to help others that are trying to use this in a class. Inside a class, you can prefix the function with self:: within the uksort(), and it will work. Also, if it is in another class that is included, you can prefix it with the class name.

class someclass {
private function ArraySortCMPIP($a, $b) {
$a = ip2long($a);
$b = ip2long($b);

if ($a == $b) return 0;
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}

// Output
public function PrintResults() {
uksort($this->someIPAddressArray, 'self::ArraySortCMPIP');
print_r($this->someIPAddressArray);
}
}

To sort dates with uksort:

function datediff($a, $b) {


$a = date('U',$a);
$b = date('U',$b);

if ($a == $b) $r = 0;
else $r = ($a > $b) ? 1: -1;

return $r;
}

The code below allows you to sort an array_A following array_B keys order, original keys and values remain associated.

<?

//main function
Function SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys(&$TheArrayToSort){
uksort($TheArrayToSort,"SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys_cmp");
}

//the custom compare function
Function SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys_cmp($a,$b){
global $TheArrayOrder;
$PosA=KeyPosInArray($a,$TheArrayOrder);
$PosB=KeyPosInArray($b,$TheArrayOrder);
if ($PosA==$PosB){return 0;}else{return ($PosA > $PosB ? 1 : -1);}
}

//where is my key in my array
Function KeyPosInArray($Key,$Array){
$i=0;
$Pos=99999999;
if($Array){
foreach($Array as $K => $V){
$i++;
if($K==$Key){
$Pos=$i;
break;
}
}
}
return $Pos;
}

//the array you want to sort
$AnyArrayToSort['age']='19';
$AnyArrayToSort['ville']='rennes';
$AnyArrayToSort['website']='kik-it.com';
$AnyArrayToSort['region']='bretagne';
$AnyArrayToSort['code_postal']='35200';
$AnyArrayToSort['Nom']='Fred';

//the array with the correct keys/values order
$TheArrayOrder['Nom']='Whatever';
$TheArrayOrder['age']='Anything';
$TheArrayOrder['region']='What u want';
$TheArrayOrder['ville']='Something';
$TheArrayOrder['code_postal']='Nothing';

//before sort
print_r($AnyArrayToSort);
echo "<br>";
//we sort
SortArrayAKeysLikeArrayBKeys($AnyArrayToSort);
echo "<br>";
//after sort
print_r($AnyArrayToSort);
?>

Will print :

Array ( [age] => 19 [ville] => rennes [website] => kik-it.com [region] => bretagne [code_postal] => 35200 [Nom] => Fred )

Array ( [Nom] => Fred [age] => 19 [region] => bretagne [ville] => rennes [code_postal] => 35200 [website] => kik-it.com )

The keys not listed in the $TheArrayOrder will appear at the end of your sorted array (only if Key Pos < 99999999 ;o)

To use a more complicated comparison function, one can use a callback to a method of an object instance.
For example the following will take an array $arr whose keys are the same as those of $reference, and reorder $arr so that the keys appear in the same order as in $reference.

class kcmp {
var $reference ;
function kcmp( $reference ) {
$this->reference = $reference ;
}
function kcompare( $a, $b ) {
$keys = array_keys( $this->reference ) ;
$position_a = array_search( $a, $keys ) ;
$position_b = array_search( $b, $keys ) ;
return $position_a < $position_b ? -1 : 1 ;
}
}

$reference = array(
"k2" => "a2",
"k3" => "a3",
"k1" => "a1"
) ;
$arr = array(
"k1" => "b1",
"k2" => "b2",
"k3" => "b3"
) ;
print_r( $arr ) ;
uksort( $arr, array( new kcmp( $reference ), "kcompare" ) ) ;
print_r( $arr ) ;

I needed to be able to sort a string that contained numbers eg.

"Slot 1 name"
"Slot 2 name"
"Slot 10 name"

using a normal string compare the "Slot 10 name" would appear before "Slot 2 name" so I wrote little function that will compare a string taking numbers in to consideration. There may be a few edge cases that need to be taken in to consideration.

function strCmpWithNumbers( $a, $b) {
// Split the string in to words.
$a = explode(' ',$a);
$b = explode(' ',$b);
$loop = 0;
do {
// Get the first word from each item
$ta = Utils::gvfa($a, $loop);
$tb = Utils::gvfa($b, $loop);

if (isset($ta)) {
if (isset($tb)) {
if (is_numeric($ta)) {
if ($ta != $tb) {
return $ta - $tb;
}
} else {
$val = strcasecmp($ta, $tb);
if ($val != 0) {
return $val;
}
}
} else {
return 1; // a is set but b isn't
}
} else {
return isset($b);
}
$loop +=1;
} while (true);
}

An associative array with known keys can be easily custom sorted using a switch statement in the callback:

NB ksort can be used beforehand to ensure expected results

ksort($array);

uksort($array, function ($a) {
switch($a) {
case 'pepperoni':
return 0;
case 'beef':
return 1;
case 'chicken':
return 2;
case 'ham':
return 3;
case 'vegetarian':
return 4;
}
});
