Sort an array of dates in PHP
To sort an array of dates in PHP, the code is as follows−
Example
<?php
function compareDates($date1, $date2){
return strtotime($date1) - strtotime($date2);
}
$dateArr = array("2019-11-11", "2019-10-10","2019-08-10", "2019-09-08");
usort($dateArr, "compareDates");
print_r($dateArr);
?>Output
This will produce the following output−
Array ( [0] => 2019-08-10 [1] => 2019-09-08 [2] => 2019-10-10 [3] => 2019-11-11 )
Example
Let us now see another example −
<?php
function compareDates($date1, $date2){
if (strtotime($date1) < strtotime($date2))
return 1;
else if (strtotime($date1) > strtotime($date2))
return -1;
else
return 0;
}
$dateArr = array("2019-11-11", "2019-10-10","2019-11-11", "2019-09-08","2019-05-11", "2019-01-01");
usort($dateArr, "compareDates");
print_r($dateArr);
?>Output
This will produce the following output−
Array ( [0] => 2019-11-11 [1] => 2019-11-11 [2] => 2019-10-10 [3] => 2019-09-08 [4] => 2019-05-11 [5] => 2019-01-01 )
