flags

The flags can be set to specify comparison direction:

  • DBX_CMP_ASC - ascending order
  • DBX_CMP_DESC - descending order
and the preferred comparison type:
  • DBX_CMP_NATIVE - no type conversion
  • DBX_CMP_TEXT - compare items as strings
  • DBX_CMP_NUMBER - compare items numerically
One of the direction and one of the type constant can be combined with bitwise OR operator (|).

Valorile întoarse

Returns 0 if the row_a[$column_key] is equal to row_b[$column_key], and 1 or -1 if the former is greater or is smaller than the latter one, respectively, or vice versa if the flag is set to DBX_CMP_DESC.

$rv dbx_compare($a$b"id"DBX_CMP_NUMBER);
    }
    return 
$rv;
}

$link   dbx_connect(DBX_ODBC"""db""username""password")
    or die(
"Could not connect");

$result dbx_query($link"SELECT id, parentid, description FROM table ORDER BY id");
    
// data in $result is now ordered by id

dbx_sort($result"user_re_order");
