PHP – Move key value pair to the top/bottom of an array

6 Comments

The following example illustrates how to move a key value pair in an array.

<?php
  $countries = array(
    'CAD' => 'Canada',
    'TWN' => 'Taiwan',
    'USA' => 'United States',
    'GBR' => 'United Kindom',
    'GER' => 'Germany',
  );
  
  print "Original\n";
  print_r($countries);
  
  print "Move Taiwan to the top\n";
  move_to_top($countries, 'TWN');
  print_r($countries);
  
  print "Move United States to the bottom\n";
  move_to_bottom($countries, 'USA');
  print_r($countries);
  
  function move_to_top(&$array, $key) {
    $temp = array($key => $array[$key]);
    unset($array[$key]);
    $array = $temp + $array;
  }
  
  function move_to_bottom(&$array, $key) {
    $value = $array[$key];
    unset($array[$key]);
    $array[$key] = $value;
  }
?>

  2. Array (
  [0] => Array (
    [Orderid] => 37122
    [Kun.nr] => 1880
    [State] => Otta
    [Land] => America
    [Product_id] => 1092
  )
  [1] => Array (  
    [Orderid] => 37452
    [Kun.nr] => 1680
    [State] => Ottass
    [Land] => Canada
    [Product_id] => 1789
  )
  [2].....
  [3]......... N number of arrays....

    1. This should work.

      <?php
  $products = array(
    0 => array(
      'Orderid' => 37122,
      'Kun.nr' => 1880,
      'State' => 'Otta',
      'Land' => 'America',
      'Product_id' => 1092,
    ),
    1 => array(  
      'Orderid' => 37452,
      'Kun.nr' => 1680,
      'State' => 'Ottass',
      'Land' => 'Canada',
      'Product_id' => 1789,
    ),
  );
  
  $new_products = array();
  foreach($products as $product) {
    move_to_top($product, 'Product_id');
    $new_products[] = $product;
  }

  print '<pre>';
  print_r($new_products);
  print '</pre>';
  
  function move_to_top(&$array, $key) {
    $temp = array($key => $array[$key]);
    unset($array[$key]);
    $array = $temp + $array;
  }
  
  function move_to_bottom(&$array, $key) {
    $value = $array[$key];
    unset($array[$key]);
    $array[$key] = $value;
  }
?>

      1. I saved the code in a file called index.php and upload it to the web server and that’s what i get when i browse it in web browser.

        How did you work with it?
