<!DOCTYPE html>
      <html>
        <head>
          <title> php get array value by key </title>
   </head>
 <body>
 <?php
$array = Array
(
    0 => Array
        (
            'value' => 'value one is given here',
            'title' => 'Apple',
            'order' => 3,
        ),
    1 => Array
        (
           'value' => ‘value two is given here',
            'title' => 'Papaya',
            'order' => 2,
        ),
    2 => Array

            'title' => 'banana',
            'order' => 1,
        )
);
array_multisort(array_map(function($element) {
      return $element['order'];
  }, $array), SORT_ASC, $array);
print_r($array); ?>
 </body>
      </html>
  1. First, we write <! DOCTYPE html> which we used as an instruction to the web browser about what version of HTML file is written in.
  2. Secondly, the <html> tag is used to indicate the beginning of an HTML document.

  4. Here, then we create a body tag. All the content which we want to show on browser’s screen or display is always written inside this codes.
  5. As we can see here that we create a multidimensional associative array and under this we are going to sort this array using order given inside. You can see this at last line inside a single array.
  6. Now, after that we just use multisort and then map function. If you want to know briefly about these articles then you can visit to our articles.

  8. Now, at last we print our array using the variable in which we store our array and you see the arrays are sorted in ascending order according to value.
  9. At last, the <body> and <html> tags are closed with </body> and </html> respectively.
