display current username first from array

[doddsey_65]

Example: i have an array of names

array{

[0] => john

[1] = ted

[2] = jeff

}

 

and i display them like this:

 

john, ted, jeff

 

but jeff is currently logged in so i want his name to display first(i have my reasons lol)

 

how would i go about this?

i got as far as:

 

if(in_array($user->user_name, $likes))
            {
                $user_key = array_search($user->user_name, $likes);
            }

 

then hit a brain freeze.

 

Thanks

Remove it from the list and unshift it back on. Then it'll appear at the beginning.

thanks for the reply. Since my actual array contained info like

array{

[0] => username1

[1] => date1

[2] => username2

[3] => date2

}

 

i simply used this:

 

if(in_array($user->user_name, $likes))
            {
                $user_key = array_search($user->user_name, $likes);
                
                $date = $likes[$user_key+1];
                $date_key = array_search($date, $likes);
                
                unset($likes[$user_key]);
                unset($likes[$date_key]);
                
                array_unshift($likes, $user->user_name, $date);
            }

 

thanks for the help
