I have a multidimensional array that I fetch from a database and it's structured like this:
array(SESSION
array(items
array(DatabaseID
(ItemName, ItemCategory, Children,
array(Id1, Id2, Id3...)
etc..))))
I am not sure that this is how you write it since I'm a beginner but I hope you get the struture. If I want to acess the ItemCategory of a certain item, I save the item's DatabaseID in $DatabaseID and write:
$_SESSION['items'][$DatabaseID]['ItemCategory'];
If I want an array with the items children's DatabaseID I write:
$_SESSION['items'][$DatabaseID]['Children'];
Now, I want to sort this array. I have looked around but I don't understand how to sort it after exactly what I want. I would like to sort the whole
$_SESSION['items']
according to the ItemName instead of the DatabaseID. Is this at all possible? I mean, the ItemName is stored for each DatabaseID...
I want to use this in order print all the Items sorted by their name instead of their DatabaseID.
I have tried
array_multisort($_SESSION['items'], $_SESSION['items']['DatabaseID']['ItemName']);
but the problem is that
$_SESSION['items']['DatabaseID']['ItemName']
is not an array.
An easier and faster solutiom is to use the SQL ORDER BY clause.
The syntax is:
SELECT column1, column2, ... FROM table_name ORDER BY column1, column2, ... ASC|DESC;
You should add this clause onto your existing SQL statement.
