PHP按包含日期的元素排序多维数组

问题描述:

我有一个数组,例如:

Array
(
[0] => Array
    (
        [id] => 2
        [type] => comment
        [text] => hey
        [datetime] => 2010-05-15 11:29:45
    )

[1] => Array
    (
        [id] => 3
        [type] => status
        [text] => oi
        [datetime] => 2010-05-26 15:59:53
    )

[2] => Array
    (
        [id] => 4
        [type] => status
        [text] => yeww
        [datetime] => 2010-05-26 16:04:24
    )

)

任何人都可以建议一种基于datetime元素排序/排序的方法?

Can anyone suggest a way to sort/order this based on the datetime element?

使用 usort() 和一个自定义比较函数:

Use usort() and a custom comparison function:

function date_compare($a, $b)
{
    $t1 = strtotime($a['datetime']);
    $t2 = strtotime($b['datetime']);
    return $t1 - $t2;
}    
usort($array, 'date_compare');






编辑:你的数据以数组的形式组织。为了更好地区分这些,我们来调用内部数组(数据)记录,这样你的数据确实是一个记录数组。


EDIT: Your data is organized in an array of arrays. To better distinguish those, let's call the inner arrays (data) records, so that your data really is an array of records.

usort 将一次将这两个记录传递给给定的比较函数 date_compare() date_compare 然后将每个记录的datetime字段提取为UNIX时间戳(一个整数),并返回差异,因此如果两个日期相同,结果将为 0 ,如果第一个日期相同则为正数( $ a )如果第二个参数( $ b )较大则较大或为负值。 usort()使用此信息对数组进行排序。

usort will pass two of these records to the given comparison function date_compare() at a a time. date_compare then extracts the "datetime" field of each record as a UNIX timestamp (an integer), and returns the difference, so that the result will be 0 if both dates are equal, a positive number if the first one ($a) is larger or a negative value if the second argument ($b) is larger. usort() uses this information to sort the array.
