I'm trying to sort my array values by size but I have a problem. My array pulls out values that are different than the values of the "cmp" function used to sort. The code is this:
function cmp($a, $b)
{
$sizes = array(
"XXS" => 0,
"XS" => 1,
"S" => 2,
"M" => 3,
"L" => 4,
"XL" => 5,
"XXL" => 6,
);
$asize = $sizes[$a];
$bsize = $sizes[$b];
if ($asize == $bsize) {
return 0;
}
return ($asize > $bsize) ? 1 : -1;
}
$your_array = array("GL001_XXL", "GL001_L", "GL001_XXS", "GL001_S");
usort($your_array, "cmp");
When I try to run this code, it tells me "Undefined key".
How can I sort my array without errors?
As noted in the comments, if your pattern is truly xxx_size
, you can just explode on the _
and grab the second item.
The <=>
can be used whenever you've got the "return 0, 1 or -1" pattern, too.
function sort_array_item_by_size($a, $b): int
{
static $sizes = [
"XXS" => 0,
"XS" => 1,
"S" => 2,
"M" => 3,
"L" => 4,
"XL" => 5,
"XXL" => 6,
];
// The next three lines really should include some error checking
$size_a = explode("_", $a)[1];
$size_b = explode("_", $b)[1];
return $sizes[$size_a] <=> $sizes[$size_b];
}
$your_array = ["GL001_XXL", "GL001_L", "GL001_XXS", "GL001_S"];
usort($your_array, "sort_array_item_by_size");
print_r($your_array);
// Array
// (
// [0] => GL001_XXS
// [1] => GL001_S
// [2] => GL001_L
// [3] => GL001_XXL
// )
