Example 908. A locale_set_default() example

This example demonstrates a possible usage of locale_set_default() to localize the sort() functions.

<?php

// the list of the strings to sort
$array = array(

    'caramelo',

    'cacto',

    'caçada'
);

// set our locale (Portuguese, in this case)
locale_set_default('pt_PT');

// sort using the locale we previously set
sort($array, SORT_LOCALE_STRING);

print_r($array);
?>

The above example will output:

copy to clipboard

Array

(

    [0] => caçada

    [1] => cacto

    [2] => caramelo

)

If we didn't use the locale, PHP would sort the string using the ASCII characters value, thus returning (wrongly):

copy to clipboard

Array

(

    [0] => cacto

    [1] => caramelo

    [2] => caçada

)
