[SOLVED] Can you sort(explode($variable)); ????

[suttercain]

I have this line of code:

echo explode (", ", $row['characters']);

 

But all I get is an echo of 1.

 

When I ran the print_r it returned the array with the values. Is it possible to sort the explode array?

 

Thanks.

explode is a function, you can't echo it.

 

explode the string into an array (that's what explode() does), then sort the array, then do whatever you want with it.

 

array sort functions can be found in the manual at http://ca.php.net/manual/en/ref.array.php

Hi Andy,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I have also tried:

$people = explode (", ", $row['characters']);
echo sort($people);

AND

$people = explode (", ", $row['characters']);
echo arsort($people);

 

Both with the same results, an output of 1.

sort and asort either return a 1 or a 0

Thanks guys
