I have an array which generated using PHP as below:
[
['user' => 'test 1', 'esttime' => '5 mins', 'destination' => 'testing location svvfefhsrdfd'],
['user' => 'test 2', 'esttime' => '5 mins', 'destination' => 'testing location fsdfdsv'],
['user' => 'test 5', 'esttime' => '8 mins', 'destination' => 'testing location scvvfe'],
['user' => 'test 3', 'esttime' => '5 mins', 'destination' => 'testing location sfds'],
['user' => 'test 4', 'esttime' => '8 mins', 'destination' => 'testing location gfsdarr'],
['user' => 'test 6', 'esttime' => '10 mins', 'destination' => 'testing location dgfd']
]
The array have keys user,estimate time and destination and related values, I need to sort this array using esttime column value.
You could use custom sorting usort() in this case, then just use strtotime() for that relative time:
usort($array, function($a, $b){
$time_a = strtotime($a['esttime']);
$time_b = strtotime($b['esttime']);
return $time_a - $time_b;
});
echo '<pre>';
print_r($array);
