        [1] => Array
            (
                [date] => 2012-01-11
                [result] => 75
                [name] => Les mers
            )

        [2] => Array
            (
                [date] => 2012-01-13
                [result] => 66
                [name] => Les continents
                [type] => Scores
            )

    )

The second

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [date_end] => 2012-01-12
            [result] => 60
            [name] => Step#1
            [type] => Summary
        )

)

And I want this for my final result

 Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [date] => 2012-01-10
                    [result] => 65
                    [name] => Les océans
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [date] => 2012-01-11
                    [result] => 75
                    [name] => Les mers
                )

             [2] => Array
            (
                [date_end] => 2012-01-12
                [result] => 60
                [name] => Step#1
                [type] => Summary
            )

            [3] => Array
                (
                    [date] => 2012-01-13
                    [result] => 66
                    [name] => Les continents
                    [type] => Scores
                )

        )

So …. I need to combine my first array with the second and I want to order this new array by date !… Can someone can help me on hint me for doing this ? Thx !

Answer 1

array_merge and usort is your friend.

function cmp($a, $b){
    $ad = strtotime($a['date']);
    $bd = strtotime($b['date']);
    return ($ad-$bd);
}
$arr = array_merge($array1, $array2);
usort($arr, 'cmp');
