This becomes a nice little problem if you index your arrays out of order (while manually sorting). For example:
<?php
$recordMonths[3] = '8/%/2006';
$recordMonths[4] = '7/%/2004';
$recordMonths[0] = '3/%/2007';
$recordMonths[1] = '2/%/2007';
$recordMonths[5] = '12/%/2000';
$recordMonths[6] = '11/%/2000';
$recordMonths[7] = '10/%/2000';
$recordMonths[2] = '1/%/2007';
for($i = 0; $i < count($recordMonths); $i++)
{
$singleMonth = $recordMonths[$i];
echo "singleMonth: $singleMonth <br />";
}
array_unshift($recordMonths,'%');
for($i = 0; $i < count($recordMonths); $i++)
{
$singleMonth = $recordMonths[$i];
echo "singleMonth: $singleMonth <br />";
}
?>
Produces:
singleMonth: 3/%/2007
singleMonth: 2/%/2007
singleMonth: 1/%/2007
singleMonth: 8/%/2006
singleMonth: 7/%/2004
singleMonth: 12/%/2000
singleMonth: 11/%/2000
singleMonth: 10/%/2000
singleMonth: %
singleMonth: 8/%/2006
singleMonth: 7/%/2004
singleMonth: 3/%/2007
singleMonth: 2/%/2007
singleMonth: 12/%/2000
singleMonth: 11/%/2000
singleMonth: 10/%/2000
singleMonth: 1/%/2007
It reindexes them based on the order they were created. It seems like if an array has all numeric indexes, then it should reindex them based on the order of their index. Just my opinion...
