reordering arrays

[vmicchia]

I have a question about reordering an array. When I print the array it looks like this:

Array

(

    [1] => Array

        (

            [Cushion] => Cushion 1

            [Fabric] => f-111111

            [FabricPrice] => 0

            [Fill] => Fiber

            [button] => none

            [ContWelt] => none

            [ContWeltFabric] => none

            [Zipper] => N

            [Quantity] => 5

            [WeltSize] =>

            [sKU] => c-111111

            [Edge] => Knife

            [Cap] => N

            [straps] => N

            [Hinged] => N

            [Type] => Boxed Button

            [Price] => 54.25

            [Total] => 271.25

        )

 

    [2] => Array

        (

            [Cushion] => Cushion 1

            [Fabric] => f-111111

            [FabricPrice] => 0

            [Fill] => Fiber

            [button] => none

            [ContWelt] => none

            [ContWeltFabric] => none

            [Zipper] => N

            [Quantity] => 3

            [WeltSize] =>

            [sKU] => c-111111

            [Edge] => Knife

            [Cap] => N

            [straps] => N

            [Hinged] => N

            [Type] => Boxed Button

            [Price] => 54.25

            [Total] => 162.75

        )

 

)

 

Now if I delete an entry or 2 it looks like this:

Array

(

    [3] => Array

        (

            [Cushion] => Cushion 1

            [Fabric] => f-111111

            [FabricPrice] => 0

            [Fill] => Fiber

            [button] => none

            [ContWelt] => none

            [ContWeltFabric] => none

            [Zipper] => N

            [Quantity] => 5

            [WeltSize] =>

            [sKU] => c-111111

            [Edge] => Knife

            [Cap] => N

            [straps] => N

            [Hinged] => N

            [Type] => Boxed Button

            [Price] => 54.25

            [Total] => 271.25

        )

 

    [6] => Array

        (

            [Cushion] => Cushion 1

            [Fabric] => f-111111

            [FabricPrice] => 0

            [Fill] => Fiber

            [button] => none

            [ContWelt] => none

            [ContWeltFabric] => none

            [Zipper] => N

            [Quantity] => 3

            [WeltSize] =>

            [sKU] => c-111111

            [Edge] => Knife

            [Cap] => N

            [straps] => N

            [Hinged] => N

            [Type] => Boxed Button

            [Price] => 54.25

            [Total] => 162.75

        )

 

)

 

Is it possible to get the arrays to reorder so that the values are [1] and [2] again?

 

I tried this:

array_values($_SESSION['Array']);

But it doesn't do anything for some reason

First of all, you are talking about re-indexing the array, not reordering. Secondly, an array "should" start with a 0 index not 1.

 

An easy way to re-index an array so the indexes start at 0 and increment sequantially is to use the function array_values(). But array_values() doesn't affect the array used int eh function - it returns an array (that will be numerically indexed). So, to change the original array you need to assign the returned value to the variable you want affected - like so:

$array = $array_values($array);

 

EDIT:

Looking at what you are trying to do, I would highly recommend you do NOT try to reindex the entire $_SESSION variable as it will affect EVERYTHING in the session variable. Assuming those values above are orders, I would store those then in a sub-array of the $_SESSION variable under $_SESSION['orders'] (or something similar). You could then reindex the orders without affecting anything else storded in the session variable using

$_SESSION['orders'] = $array_values($_SESSION['orders']);
