I have an array that holds the names of languages in spanish:
$lang["ko"] = "coreano"; //korean
$lang["ar"] = "árabe"; //arabic
$lang["es"] = "español"; //spanish
$lang["fr"] = "francés"; //french
I need to order the array and maintain index association, so I use asort() with the SORT_LOCALE_STRING
setlocale(LC_ALL,'es_ES.UTF-8'); //this is at the beginning (config file)
asort($lang,SORT_LOCALE_STRING);
print_r($lang);
The expected output would be in this order:
However, this is what I'm receiving:
Am I missing something? Thanks for your feedback! (my server is using PHP Version 5.2.13)
Try sorting by translitterated names:
function compareASCII($a, $b) {
$at = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $a);
$bt = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT', $b);
return strcmp($at, $bt);
}
uasort($lang, 'compareASCII');
print_r($lang);
