Question

I am sure there is a simpler solution to this that I am over looking

Here is some code that basically describes what I am doing:

$array = array('1.4','2.7','4.1','5.9'); 
$score = '4.4';
foreach($array as $value) {
    if($score>$value){
        $x = $value;
    }
}
foreach($array as $value) {
    if($x==$value){
        echo $value."<br>";
        echo $score."<-- <br>";
    } else {
        echo $value."<br>";
    }
}

Will display as:

1.4
2.7
4.1
4.4<--
5.9

What I am trying to do is print the array values with the score value in order.

Answer 1

Why don’t you change the array to actual numerical values and then sort it?

$array = array(1.4, 2.7, 4.1, 5.9);
$score = 4.4;

$array[] = $score;
sort($array);

Or if you need to work with strings:

$array = array('1.4', '2.7', '4.1', '5.9');
$score = '4.4';
$array[] = $score;
sort($array, SORT_NUMERIC);
