Description

Пример 1. dbx_sort() example

<?php
function user_re_order ($a, $b) {
    $rv = dbx_compare ($a, $b, "parentid", DBX_CMP_DESC);
    if ( !$rv ) {
        $rv = dbx_compare ($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 tbl ORDER BY id");
    // data in $result is now ordered by id

dbx_sort ($result, "user_re_order");
    // data in $result is now ordered by parentid (descending), then by id

dbx_close ($link);
?>
