Hey all,

And true a function i add random colors in the string,
$s_Colors.= ";".strtoupper( $_POST['colorvalue']);

then i make one array:
$a_Colors=array _change_key_cas e(split(";",$s_ Colors), CASE_UPPER);
when i do
sort($a_Colors) ;
print_r($a_Colo rs);

or
asort($a_Colors );
print_r($a_Colo rs);


the values are not correct sorted..!
oke i understand the difference of the hex index so anybody idea??

Cheers,

What exactly is NOT working? the UPPERCASE function: here is why - from
the manual:

array_change_ke y_case() changes the keys in the input array to be all
lowercase or uppercase. The change depends on the last optional case
parameter. You can pass two constants there, CASE_UPPER and CASE_LOWER.
The default is CASE_LOWER. **The function will leave number indices as
is.** and a hex value is considered a number.

try:
$a_Colors= explode(";",str toupper($s_Colo rs));
sort($a_Colors) ;
print_r($a_Colo rs);

Re: sort color array?

Hey Michael,

Wel as you probaly tested the colors are sorterd in a alpha numeric way but
not in a hex ritme..
I want to have a all the colors that are example in the range of red
together.. and if you make a test and print a table with the colors you see
that they are not sort properly.

Cheers,

M

Now that is a horse of a different color. :)

Once you have your array, you will need to break it down into RGB order

FFFFFF
|||||+--> Blue LSByte
||||+---> Blue MSByte
|||+----> Green LSByte
||+-----> Green MSByte
|+------> Red LSByte
+-------> Red MSByte

and sort where Red is predominate etc..., I am guessing you already
figured that one out. In essence you need a 3-dimensional array (not
multiple arrays)... and a way to sort it and still keep the colors intact.

to see how difficult this would be look at a chart I found:

http://www.forestasia.com/tools/colour_chart.asp

After 2.5 hours, I am giving up and going to bed... good night.

oh... I guess I should have hit the send button....
