Question

So this is driving me nuts. I need to pull my table rows from mySQL and then sort them but then i need to output them back as single arrays. Mostly because the code after this is written to accept that.

Here is my code. please let me know if you have any suggestions.

<?php

include 'connect.php';


$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");

while ($data = mysql_fetch_assoc($query))
{
    $newarray[]=$data; 
    $dbusername = $data['username'];
    $dbpassword = $data['password'];
    $logid = $data['id'];
    print_r ($data);
    echo "<br/>";
}

foreach ($newarray as $key => $row) {
$volume[$key]  = $row['password'];
}

array_multisort($volume, SORT_ASC, $newarray);
print_r($newarray);

?>

The result of this is:

Array ( 

[0] => Array ( [id] => 4 [rating] => 18 [password] => 1981 [username] => 212060064) 
[1] => Array ( [id] => 2 [rating] => 6  [password] => 1983 [username] => 212060062)
[2] => Array ( [id] => 3 [rating] => 5  [password] => 1984 [username] => 212060063)
[3] => Array ( [id] => 1 [rating] => 3  [password] => 1988 [username] => 212060061) 

)

However I need to output them like this:

Array ( [id] => 4 [rating] => 18 [password] => 1981 [username] => 212060064)
Array ( [id] => 2 [rating] => 6  [password] => 1983 [username] => 212060062) 
Array ( [id] => 3 [rating] => 5  [password] => 1984 [username] => 212060063)
Array ( [id] => 1 [rating] => 3  [password] => 1988 [username] => 212060061)

According to your speech:

The result of this is:

Array ( 

[0] => Array ( [id] => 4 [rating] => 18 [password] => 1981 [username] => 212060064) 
[1] => Array ( [id] => 2 [rating] => 6  [password] => 1983 [username] => 212060062)
[2] => Array ( [id] => 3 [rating] => 5  [password] => 1984 [username] => 212060063)
[3] => Array ( [id] => 1 [rating] => 3  [password] => 1988 [username] => 212060061) 

)

However I need to output them like this:

Array ( [id] => 4 [rating] => 18 [password] => 1981 [username] => 212060064)
Array ( [id] => 2 [rating] => 6  [password] => 1983 [username] => 212060062) 
Array ( [id] => 3 [rating] => 5  [password] => 1984 [username] => 212060063)
Array ( [id] => 1 [rating] => 3  [password] => 1988 [username] => 212060061) 

So no difference can be found in the way of SORT.

At your last code line, replace:

print_r($newarray);

by:

foreach($newarray as $child_array)
{
    print_r($child_array);
}
