Custom function:

1, the function range() to quickly create an array

For example The range() function can quickly create a number array from 1 to 9:

<?php 
    $numbers=range(1,9); //用range直接创建1~9共9个数字组成的数组，以“1”开始“9”结束。 
    echo $numbers[1]; //输出创建的第二个数组值：2； echo $numbers[0];则输入第一个值：0。 
?>

Of course, using range(9,1) creates a number array from 9 to 1. At the same time, range() can also create a character array from a to z:

<?php 
    $numbers=range(a,z); 
    foreach ($numbers as $mychrs) //遍历$numbers数组，每次循环当前单元值被赋给$mychrs 
    echo $mychrs." "; //output a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z 
?>

//foreach是一种遍历数组的简便方法，foreach 仅能用于数组，当试图将其用于其它数据类型或者一个未初始化的变量时会产生错误，它有两种格式：

foreach (array_expression as $value) statementforeach (array_expression as $key => $value) statement
第一种格式遍历给定的 array_expression 数组。每次循环中，当前单元的值被赋给 $value 并且数组内部的指针向前移一步（因此下一次循环中将会得到下一个单元）。第二种格式做同样的事，只除了当前单元的键名也会在每次循环中被赋给变量 $key


使用字符数组时注意大小写，比如range(A,z)和range(a,Z)是不一样的。

range()函数还具有第三个参数，该参数的作用是设定步长，比如range(1,9,3)创建的数组元素是：1、4、7

2，PHP中常规数组的排序

一般数组中的各元素均以字符或数字表现的，所以可对数组元素进行升序排列，该功能函数为sort()。比如：

<?php 
    $people=array(&#39;name&#39;,&#39;sex&#39;,&#39;nation&#39;,&#39;birth&#39;); 
    foreach ($people as $mychrs) 
        echo $mychrs." "; 
    sort($people); 
    echo "---排序后---"; 
    foreach ($people as $mychrs) 
        echo $mychrs." "; 
?>

升序排序后的数组元素显示为 birth name nation sex，当然，sort()函数是区分字母大小写的（字母从大到小的顺序是：A…Z…a…z）

Sort()函数还具有第二参数，用来说明升序的规则是用来比较数字还是字符串的。比如：

<?php 
    echo "---按数字升序排序---
    "; 
    $num2=array(&#39;26&#39;,&#39;3&#39;,); 
    sort($num2,SORT_NUMERIC); 
    foreach ($num2 as $mychrs) 
    echo $mychrs." "; 
    echo "
    ---按字符升序排序---
    "; 
    $num3=array(&#39;26&#39;,&#39;3&#39;); 
    sort($num3,SORT_STRING); 
    foreach ($num3 as $mychrs) 
    echo $mychrs." "; 
?>

SORT_NUMERIC和SORT_STRING用来声明按数字或字符的升序排列。如果按照数字升序排列是：3，26；但如果按照字符升序排列则是：26，3了。

PHP中除了升序函数以外，还有降序或称反向排列的函数，就是rsort()函数，比如：

$num1=range(1,9);
rsort($num1); //这里其实就相当于range(9,1)

3，PHP中关联数组的排序

PHP除了支持数字索引数组以外，还支持相关数组。比如如下数组就是一个相关(关联)数组：

$peoples=array('xm'=>'name','xb'=>'sex','mz'=>'nation','cs'=>'birth');

使用sort($peoples)默认即是按照元素定义值的升序排序，在关联数组中可使用asort()函数表示按元素值升序排序，关联数组中最主要的则是可按照关键字（如xm、xb、mz等）的升序排序，该方法是用函数ksort()函数。

<?php 
    $peoples=array(&#39;xm&#39;=>&#39;name&#39;,&#39;xb&#39;=>&#39;sex&#39;,&#39;mz&#39;=>&#39;nation&#39;,&#39;cs&#39;=>&#39;birth&#39;); 
    foreach ($peoples as $mychrs) 
    echo $mychrs." "; 
    echo "
    --按元素值升序排列--
    "; 
    asort($peoples); 
    foreach ($peoples as $mychrs) 
    echo $mychrs." "; 
    echo "
    --按关键字升序排列--
    "; 
    ksort($peoples); 
    foreach ($peoples as $mychrs) 
    echo $mychrs." "; 
?>

和常规数组拥有sort()升序函数的反向排序rsort()降序函数相对应的，关联数组也有对应的降序函数：asort()函数和arsort()函数、ksort()函数和krsort()函数。
记忆：原型函数是sort()，其中a、k表示关联数组相关必须前置，反向排序使用r修饰。

4，PHP数组元素随机排序

PHP中使用shuffle()函数将数组元素进行随机的重新排序，每次都会显示不同的排序组合，比如：

<?php 
    $fer=array(&#39;cnbruce&#39;,&#39;cnrose&#39;,&#39;cnjames&#39;,&#39;cnanne&#39;); 
    shuffle($fer); //随即排序，每刷新一次页面则进行一次随机排序。 
    foreach ($fer as $mychrs) 
    echo $mychrs." "; 
?>

5，PHP数组按原顺序反向排序

PHP中可使用array_reverse()函数将数组元素按原顺序反向排序。比如：

<?php 
$fer=array(&#39;cnbruce&#39;,&#39;cnrose&#39;,&#39;cnjames&#39;,&#39;cnanne&#39;); 
foreach ($fer as $mychrs) 
echo $mychrs." "; 
$fer=array_reverse($fer); //将数组内元素按原顺序反向排序 
echo "--按原顺序反向--"; 
foreach ($fer as $mychrs) 
echo $mychrs." "; 
?>
