I have a string like this: event name|event description|event type|event date|event time|event details, event

  • 0

I have a string like this:

event name|event description|event type|event date|event time|event details,

event name|event description|event type|event date|event time|event details,

event name|event description|event type|event date|event time|event details,

event name|event description|event type|event date|event time|event details,

This is all in one string. I need to turn it into and array, re-sort it by event date and then turn it back into a string.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks so much.

    <?php
$string = "event name|event description|event type|2009-08-01|event time|event details,
event name|event description|event type|2009-08-02|event time|event details,
event name|event description|event type|2009-08-01|event time|event details,
event name|event description|event type|2009-08-03|event time|event details,";
   $arr = array();
   $strs = explode(',', $string);
   print_r($strs);
   foreach ($strs as $i => $str)
   {
      if (empty($str)) continue;

      $expl = explode('|', $str);
      $arr[strtotime($expl[3]) . $i] = $str;
   }
   ksort($arr);
   $result = implode(",\n", $arr);
   print_r($result);
?>

    output:

    event name|event description|event type|2009-08-01|event time|event details,
event name|event description|event type|2009-08-01|event time|event details,
event name|event description|event type|2009-08-02|event time|event details,
event name|event description|event type|2009-08-03|event time|event details
