The arsort() in PHP is used to sort an array according to values. It sorts in a way that relation between indices and values is maintained. By default it sorts in descending order of values.
Syntax:
bool arsort( $array, $sorting_type )
Parameters: This function accepts two parameters as mentioned above and described below:
- $array: This parameter specifies the array which to be sort. It is a mandatory parameter.
- $sorting_type: This parameter specifies name of a user-defined function which will be used to sort the keys of array $array. This comparison function must return an integer.
Return Value: This function returns True on success or False on failure.
Below programs illustrate the arsort() function in PHP.
Program 1:
<?php // PHP program to illustrate // arsort() function // Input different array elements $arr = array("0" => "GeeksforGeeks", "1" => "Practice", "2" => "Contribute", "3" => "Java", "4" => "Videos", "5" => "Report Bug", "6" => "Article", "7" => "Sudo Placement" ); // Implementation of arsort() arsort($arr); // for-Loop for displaying result foreach ($arr as $key => $val) { echo "[$key] = $val"; echo"\n"; } ?> |
[4] = Videos [7] = Sudo Placement [5] = Report Bug [1] = Practice [3] = Java [0] = GeeksforGeeks [2] = Contribute [6] = Article
Program 2:
<?php // PHP program to illustrate // arsort() function // Input different array elements $arr = array("a" => 11, "b" => 22, "d" => 33, "n" => 44, "o" => 55, "p" => 66, "p" => 77, "q" => 88, ); // Implementation of arsort() arsort($arr); // for-Loop for displaying result foreach ($arr as $key => $val) { echo "[$key] = $val"; echo"\n"; } ?> |
[q] = 88 [p] = 77 [o] = 55 [n] = 44 [d] = 33 [b] = 22 [a] = 11
