Need sorting in foreach / if statement. can't make it happen

[mb1]

hi,

 

i am having issues with sorting within a conditional statement. please see the code below. right now, i ve commented out the sorting below. basically i want to sort by: $venue1->hereNow->count. I am managing to pull the data correctly. see: http://marineboudeau.com/lab/4sq/

<?php

if (is_object($venue->response)) {

//sort($venue->response->groups[0]->items->hereNow->count);

foreach ($venue->response->groups[0]->items as $venue1) {

if ($venue1->hereNow->count != '0'){

//var_dump ($venue1);

echo "<div style='font-weight:bold;'>".$venue1->name."</div>";

echo "<div>".$venue1->location->address." ".$venue1->location->city."</div>";

echo "<div>".$venue1->hereNow->count."</div>";

echo "</br>";

}

}

}

?>

 

any idea what i need to do to make it happen?

 

thank you.

You said you want to sort it by $venu1->hereNow->count, as far as I know, we won't be able to sort the array by count unless you assign count to an array key or value. as far as i know php's sorting functions are for arrays only.

 

We can rebuild the array with count as the key and assign that way.

 

That's only if doing:

sort($venue->response->groups[0]);

doesn't do what you want.

 

You'll need to assign count to an array key and sort that way, you can do that with this code below.

 

<?php	
$new_array = array();
if (is_object($venue->response)) 
{	 
foreach ($venue->response->groups[0]->items as $venue1) 
{	
	$new_array[$venu->response->groups[0]->items->count] = $venue1;
}
sort($new_array);
foreach( $new_array as $venue1 )
{
	if ($venue1->hereNow->count != '0')
	{ 
		//var_dump ($venue1);	
		echo "<div style='font-weight:bold;'>".$venue1->name."</div>";	
		echo "<div>".$venue1->location->address." ".$venue1->location->city."</div>";	 
		echo "<div>".$venue1->hereNow->count."</div>";	 
		echo "</br>";	 
	}	 
}	
}
?>

 

Note that the code may have some typos and make not work directly, but it should give you an idea of how to make a new array with (hopefully) the assortment you want.
