array_reverse

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

array_reverse — Inverse l'ordre des éléments d'un tableau

Description

array array_reverse ( array $array [, bool $preserve_keys ] )

Prend le tableau array et retourne un nouveau tableau qui contient les mêmes éléments mais dans l'ordre inverse.

Liste de paramètres

array: Le tableau d'entrée.
preserve_keys: Si définit à TRUE, les clés seront préservées.

Valeurs de retour

Retourne le tableau dans l'ordre inverse.

Historique

Version	Description
4.0.3	Le paramètre `preserve_keys` est ajouté.

Exemples

Exemple #1 Exemple avec array_reverse()


<?php
$input  = array("php", 4.0, array("green", "red"));
$result = array_reverse($input);
$result_keyed = array_reverse($input, true);
?>

Ce code fait que $result et $result_keyed contiennent les mêmes éléments, mais qu'ils diffèrent au niveau des clés. $result et $result_keyed contiennent :

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => green
            [1] => red
        )

    [1] => 4
    [2] => php
)
Array
(
    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => green
            [1] => red
        )

    [1] => 4
    [0] => php
)

As response to Ella's note:



$array[0] = 'record1';

$array[9] = 'record2';

$array[15] = 'record3';



That is ordered way easier AND faster with array_values().

array_reverse twice is unnecessary. Once array_values and all values will be saved in new keys

You can also use array_reverse to reset array indexes without losing the order of the values. For example when you use unset() to delete values from an array, the value gets deleted but you end up with a missing index:



$array[0] = 'record1';

$array[9] = 'record2';

$array[15] = 'record3';



Just use:



$array = array_reverse(array_reverse($array));



And your indexes get rearranged:



$array[0] = 'record1';

$array[1] = 'record2';

$array[2] = 'record3';

Here is my version of sorting multidimensional arrays with any key in it even if u want it alphapatically sorted by any key.



u can remove the strtolower part if you want to keep it case sensitive



function cmp($a, $b){

    return strcmp(strtolower($a["name"]), strtolower($b["name"]));

}

If you need to reverse an array by reference, you can use the following function.



<?

function &array_reverse_ref(&$a) {

    $r = array();

    for($i=0, $j=count($a); $i<count($a); $i++, $j--) {

        $r[$i] =& $a[$j-1];

    }

    return $r;

}

?>



Use it like: 

<?

class t {

    var $message = "message";    

}

for($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {

    $a[] = new t();

}



$ra =& array_reverse_ref($a);



$a[0]->message = "now... this works in both";

$ra[0]->message = "but.... does not work in both";



for($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {

    echo $ra[$i]->message; echo "<br>\n"; 

}

echo "<br>\n";

for($i=0; $i<10; $i++) {

    echo $a[$i]->message; echo "<br>\n";

}

?>

another way to -> 

If you want to reverse an array with numerical indexes, you can keep them by using following code: 

<?

# this is your array, and you would like to reverse it however maintain their actual index values to point to the existings.

$array_to_reverse[0]="zee";

$array_to_reverse[1]="andrew";

$array_to_reverse[2]="pablo";

$array_to_reverse[3]="mike";

$array_to_reverse[4]="ahmed";

$array_to_reverse[5]="yousra";

$array_to_reverse[6]="samir";

# you want the array to look like this so you can use a command like for each to march through the array.

$array_reversed[6]="samir";

$array_reversed[5]="yousra";

$array_reversed[4]="ahmed";

$array_reversed[3]="mike";

$array_reversed[2]="pablo";

$array_reversed[1]="andrew";

$array_reversed[0]="zee";

# however if you use array_reverse you get this:

$array_reversed[0]="samir";

$array_reversed[1]="yousra";

$array_reversed[2]="ahmed";

$array_reversed[3]="mike";

$array_reversed[4]="pablo";

$array_reversed[5]="andrew";

$array_reversed[6]="zee";

# this causes element samir to be first instead of last, just like you want.  hoever, the index value that refferences samir is now 0 instead of 6

# solution to this is the following code



$array_reversed = array_reverse ($array_to_reverse);

$size_of_array = count($array_reversed);

for ($z = 0; $z < $size_of_array; $z++){

         #do what you want

         #if you want to get the index value of the un-reveresed array, simply

         $actual_index = GetActualIndex($z,$size_of_array);

         echo $z." on array_reversed is the same ".$actual_index." on array_to_reverse<BR>\n";

}



function GetActualIndex($current_index, $size_of_array){

         $reverse_location = abs($current_index + 1 - $size_of_array);

         return $reverse_location;

}

?>

If you want to reverse an array with numerical indexes, you can keep them by using following code:





<?php


end($gruppenarr);


do {


  $part1=key($gruppenarr);


  $part2=current($gruppenarr);


  $gruppenarr2[$part1]=$part2;


} while(prev($gruppenarr));


?>





input is $gruppenarr


output is $gruppenarr2

This code can help in recursive reversing of the array...





<?php


$arr1 = array(2,1,array(5,2,1,array(9,8,7)),5,0);


$arr1 = array_reverse($arr1);





function Reverse_Array($array)


{    $index = 0;


    foreach ($array as $subarray)


    {    if (is_array($subarray))


        {    $subarray = array_reverse($subarray);


            $arr = Reverse_Array($subarray);


            $array[$index] = $arr;


        }


        else {$array[$index] = $subarray;}


        $index++;


    }


    return $array;


}





$arr2 = Reverse_Array($arr1);


?>

As a further clarification: key-value pairs have an order within an array completely separate from whatever the keys happen to be - the order in which you add them.  This is the order that functions like each() and next() will move their pointer through the array.


If you add to an array without specifying the key, like $array[] = value; then an internal counter supplies the key value and then the numerical order of your keys will be identical to the the internal order.  If you "leave holes" - jumping ahead by specifying a higher number for the key, like $array[1000] = value; the internal counter gets pushed forward appropriately.  Other than its effect on this internal counter, specifying a numerical key seems no different than specifying a string. 


However, some array functions, like array_merge() and array_reverse() treat keys that are numbers differently from keys that are not.

With associative arrays array_reverse() keeps key => value pairs matched but reverses the order of the array as spaned by functions like each().  With numerical indexes array_reverse not only reverses position (as spaned by each) but also renumbers the keys. 


Both cases seem to be what people would generally want: indeed without the renumbering behavior, someone refering to array elements by numerical key wouldn't think array_reverse did anything.


However, people who are trying to keep numerical keys associated with their values - e.g. trying to have holes in their arrays - will be foiled by the renumbering.  The most telling results come from applying array_reverse() to arrays with mixed keys (some numbers and some strings).  The strings stay attached and the rest of the keys get renumbered around them - most annoying if you are thinking what you've got is an associative array but some of your keys happen to be numbers.
