*slap* Duh!

Glad you got it working finally.

Mark,

Just tweeked this line from:

<?php
if (!($key=array_search($curVal, $listArray))) {
?>

to:

<?php
if ($key=array_search($curVal, $listArray)) {
?>

And it seems to work thus far.

Thanks,

Phil

I had some errors... try this:

<?php
if (!($key=array_search($curVal, $listArray))) {
    array_splice($listArray, $key, 1);
    array_unshift($listArray, $curVal);
}
?>

Hmmm...that didn't work. Here's a twist, this a quick and dirty example in actionscript/javascript that works with what I'm trying to accomplish:

<?php
// user defined function for 'array.sort(userFunction)'

function compare(el){
    for (i=0;i<listArray.length;i++){
        if (listArray[i]==el){
          listArray.unshift(listArray.splice(i, 1));
             trace (listArray[0]); // value is whatever current match is...
             trace (listArray[2]);
             }
        }
  }
                  
// triggered by button actions: curVal becomes one of the items from listArray()

function sortie(){
  listArray = array(\"Exterior\", \"Rooms\", \"Views\");
      listArray.sort(compare(curVal));
}
?>

That's the idea of what I'm trying to translate to PHP.

Thanks,

Phil

Try this....

<?php
if (!($key=array_search($curVal, $listArray))) {
    $listArray = array_splice ($listArray, $key, 1);
    $listArray = array_unshift($curVal);
}
?>

. If a current variable has the following value:

$curVar="Exterior";

How can I resort an array, such as:

$listArray = array("Rooms", "Exterior", "Views");

..so that "Exterior" (2nd array element) is now the first element in an array?

I'm looking for a php function that will make a comparison between two strings, ("Exterior" in this case), find a match, and then re-order the array accordingly.

Thanks,

Tony

I'm lost.
