Bug Type: Arrays related
Operating System: win98
PHP Version: 4.0.6
New Comment:
I've also encountered this problem.
Version:
PHP Version 4.2.3
Environment:
FreeBSD 4.7-PRERELEASE #1: Mon Sep 2 12:14:18 IST 2002
Configure Command:
'./configure' '--with-apxs=/usr/local/sbin/apxs'
'--with-config-file-path=/usr/local/etc' '--enable-versioning'
'--with-regex=system' '--without-gd' '--without-mysql'
'--with-mhash=/usr/local' '--with-pgsql=/usr/local'
'--with-ldap=/usr/local' '--enable-xslt'
'--with-xslt-sablot=/usr/local' '--enable-trans-sid'
'--with-expat-dir=/usr/local' '--with-iconv=/usr/local'
'--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd4.7'
(built from FreeBSD ports collection)
Testcase:
// create an array
$array = array();
for ($i = 1; $i < 25; $i++) {
array_push($array,"Dublin $i");
}
// randomise it
$rand_array = array();
srand ((float) microtime() * 10000000);
foreach (array_rand($array,sizeof($array)) as $index) {
array_push($rand_array,$array[$index]);
}
// get it sorted by string
$array_sorted_str = $rand_array;
sort($array_sorted_str,SORT_STRING);
// get it sorted numerically
$array_sorted_num = $rand_array;
sort($array_sorted_num,SORT_NUMERIC);
echo "Original array";
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($array as $v) {
echo "<li>$v</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "Randomised array";
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($rand_array as $v) {
echo "<li>$v</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "array sorted by string";
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($array_sorted_str as $v) {
echo "<li>$v</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
echo "array sorted numerically";
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($array_sorted_num as $v) {
echo "<li>$v</li>";
}
echo "</ul>";
I would expect the numeric sort to give me Dublin 1, Dublin 2...Dublin
11,Dublin 12...Dublin 20 etc.
While it does change the array, it appears to do so in a random fashion
(at least I cannot understand it).

i have the same problem :
using 6 array : $years, $months, $ids, $titles, $urls, $dates
and doing :
$ar = array($years, $months, $ids, $titles, $urls, $dts);
array_multisort($ar[0], SORT_DESC, SORT_NUMERIC, $ar[1], SORT_NUMERIC,
SORT_DESC, $ar[2], $ar[3], $ar[4], $ar[5]);
which results "Warning: Array sizes are inconsistent in ...". even with
SORT_REGULAR it gives the same error. but it sorts them which is pretty
funny :)
i suppress it with @ and it sorts them without showing warnings - the
only way it works
p.s. it shwo that warning from time to time - not always.

Can not reproduce with PHP 4.1.0RC1.

If asort() is used with the sort flag SORT_NUMERIC and the values ar
non numeric, the sort order of those values should remain unchanged in
principle. But in arrays with few of such non numeric items (app. <
10), the first item is generally moved to the bottom, while in arrays
with more items, one element from somewhere in the middle is moved to
the top.
example:
$q = array(1=>'A',2=>'B',3=>'C',4=>'D',5=>'E');
asort($q,SORT_NUMERIC);
produces the value sequence B,C,D,E,A
