tvance929 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi guys, I'm real new to php and am trying to get asort to sort my associative array. I call this: asort($scoresArray); and then do this: while(list($Name, $Score) =each($scoresArray)) { echo $Name.$Score; } but my results look like this: Joe 1000 Fred2000 Todd650 MAJ_todd9000 Can someone clue me into what I'm doing wrong??? Thanks! Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147688-solved-newbie-cant-get-asort-to-work/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussellReal Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 if you don't see whats happening 1 < 2 < 6 < 9 its sorting by character not by number value try this: asort($scoresArray,SORT_NUMERIC); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147688-solved-newbie-cant-get-asort-to-work/#findComment-775217 Share on other sites More sharing options...
genericnumber1 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 If the above doesn't fix your problem, do a var_dump() on your scores array before trying to sort it and post the result here.
