Hi guys. I’m working on a little PHP function that will sort an array based off of if the item returned is “verified” or not. I’m not very familiar with PHP and I’ve been doing a lot of reading up since I figured there could possibly be a method to make this easier. Reading around it sounded like the uasort() was what I needed for its sorting abilities and that it maintains index association, but I’m a little confused as how to properly use it. The original block of PHP I am working on looks like this:
`<?php
if (count($results)):
$lexisIndex = 1;
foreach ($results as $person){
$person->isVerified = (substr($person->first_name, 0, 1) == substr($fname, 0, 1) && $person->last_name == $lname );
$person->lexisIndex = $lexisIndex++;
}
foreach ($results as $person):
?>
`
From here I added the sortIt function, put the results into an array, and then sort from that array like this:
`<?php
if (count($results)):
$lexisIndex = 1;
foreach ($results as $person){
$person->isVerified = (substr($person->first_name, 0, 1) == substr($fname, 0, 1) && $person->last_name == $lname );
$person->lexisIndex = $lexisIndex++;
}
function sortIt($a, $b) {
if ($a == $b) {
return 0;
}
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
$array = array($results);
uasort($array, 'sortIt');
foreach ($results as $person):
?>
`
Where I’m stumped is that part where I can get the function to compare the $a and $b to see if each person “isVerified” or not. If they are, I would like these people to display at the top of the list. Any help I can get to give me a nudge in the right direction is always appreciated. Thanks guys.
