multisort problem

[begeiste]

Hi,
Not sure what is wrong with the function of array_multisort(), I have checked line by line, the error tells Parse error:

parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING' in d:\easyphp1-8\www\study\array_multisort.php on line 13.

I don't understand whats wrong with my code which I have copied from php book.

PHP: Select all

<?php
    $class=array("score" =>array(123,345,23,66,7,821,10,33,90,100), "name" =>array("Alice","Peter","Elvin","Sindy","Simon","Bob","Hank","Charlie","Caroline","Linda"));
    `
        
    array_multisort($class["score"],SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $class["name"], SORT_STRING, SORT_ASC);
    
    
    echo "<table bgcolor='#ffff99' border='2' width='80%'>";
    echo "<tr><th>Score</th>";
    for($a=0; $a<10; $a++){
        echo "<td>".$class["score"][$a]."</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr><tr><th>Name</th>";
    for($a=0; $a<10; $a++){
        echo "<td>".$class["name"][$a]."</td>";    
    }
?>

Can someone help me out this problem? Much appreciated!

I think your problem is where the red is, not the array_multisort function...

Code: Select all

 <?php
    $class=array("score" =>array(123,345,23,66,7,821,10,33,90,100), "name" =>array("Alice","Peter","Elvin","Sindy","Simon","Bob","Hank","Charlie","Caroline","Linda"));
    `
        
    array_multisort($class["score"],SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $class["name"], SORT_STRING, SORT_ASC);
    
    
    echo "<table bgcolor='#ffff99' border='2' width='80%'>";
    echo "<tr><th>Score</th>";
    for($a=0; $a<10; $a++){
        echo "<td>".$class["score"][$a]."</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr><tr><th>Name</th>";
    for($a=0; $a<10; $a++){
        echo "<td>".$class["name"][$a]."</td>";    
    }
?>

I think you'd be better off using single quotes:

PHP: Select all

<?php
    $class=array("score" =>array(123,345,23,66,7,821,10,33,90,100), "name" =>array("Alice","Peter","Elvin","Sindy","Simon","Bob","Hank","Charlie","Caroline","Linda"));

    array_multisort($class["score"],SORT_NUMERIC, SORT_DESC, $class["name"], SORT_STRING, SORT_ASC);
    
    
    echo "<table bgcolor='#ffff99' border='2' width='80%'>";
    echo "<tr><th>Score</th>";
    for($a=0; $a<10; $a++){
        echo "<td>".$class['score'][$a]."</td>";
    }
    echo "</tr><tr><th>Name</th>";
    for($a=0; $a<10; $a++){
        echo "<td>".$class['name'][$a]."</td>";    
    }
?>

Could it be the random "`" under your $class variable?
