I need to sort a multidimensional array by a searched keyword. My array is like below.
<?php
array(
array(
'name' => '11th-Physics',
'branch' => 'Plus One',
'college' => 'Plus One',
),
array(
'name' => 'JEE-IIT',
'branch' => 'Physics',
'college' => 'IIT College',
),
array(
'name' => 'Physics',
'branch' => 'Bsc Physics',
'college' => 'College of Chemistry',
),
array(
'name' => 'Chemical Engineering',
'branch' => 'Civil',
'college' => 'Physics Training Center',
),
array(
'name' => 'Physics Education',
'branch' => 'Mechanical',
'college' => 'TBR',
),
)
?>
I need to sort this array when search keyword is physics
. And after Sorting i need the result like below.
NEEDED RESULT
<?php
array(
array(
'name' => 'Physics',
'branch' => 'Bsc Physics',
'college' => 'College of Chemistry',
),
array(
'name' => 'Physics Education',
'branch' => 'Mechanical',
'college' => 'TBR',
),
array(
'name' => '11th-Physics',
'branch' => 'Plus One',
'college' => 'Plus One',
),
array(
'name' => 'JEE-IIT',
'branch' => 'Physics',
'college' => 'IIT College',
),
array(
'name' => 'Chemical Engineering',
'branch' => 'Civil',
'college' => 'Physics Training Center',
),
)
?>
That is I need to sort the array first by the name
which is exactly like the searched keyword. Then wildcard search in name
. Then to the next key branch
and same as above. Is there any php function to sort this array like my requirement. I have already checked asort
, usort
. But I didn't get result properly.
