sorting array value without using built in php like sort() etc

Question

<?php
function sortArray() {
    $inputArray = array(8, 2, 7, 4, 5);
    $outArray = array();
    for($x=1; $x<=100; $x++) {
        if (in_array($x, $inputArray)) {
            array_push($outArray, $x);
        }
    }
    return $outArray;
}


$sortArray = sortArray();
foreach ($sortArray as $value) {
    echo $value . "<br />";
}
?>

I have this code but there are two problems

• What if my numbers in array are greater than 100?
• Also, I'd like to see more than one method of sorting

Answer 1

Here is the way of sorting.

<?php

$array=array('2','4','8','5','1','7','6','9','10','3');

echo "Unsorted array is: ";
echo "<br />";
print_r($array);


for($j = 0; $j < count($array); $j ++) {
    for($i = 0; $i < count($array)-1; $i ++){

        if($array[$i] > $array[$i+1]) {
            $temp = $array[$i+1];
            $array[$i+1]=$array[$i];
            $array[$i]=$temp;
        }       
    }
}

echo "Sorted Array is: ";
echo "<br />";
print_r($array);

?>
