Question

I’m looking for re-ordering div position with php

My html structure is something like this

<div id="position">1,2,3,4,5</div>

    <div id="1">1</div>
    <div id="2">2</div>
    <div id="3">3</div>
    <div id="4">4</div>
    <div id="5">5</div>

Above,

'<div id="position"><php $layout ?></div>'

defines

<div id="position">1,2,3,4,5</div>

What I want is if

<div id="position">5,2,3,1,4</div>

Arrange div in relative order like this

<div id="5">5</div>
<div id="2">2</div>
<div id="3">3</div>
<div id="1">1</div>
<div id="4">4</div>

Basically I’m looking to sort as per div id in array.

Thanks

You can do something like:

$numbers = "5,2,3,1,4";
$order = explode(',',$numbers);
foreach ($order as $i){
    echo "<div id=\"$i\">$i</div>";
}
