Hello Friends,

This example is how to sort an array of dates in php example.

We are given an array which consists of multiple dates in (Y-m-d) format. We have to write a program in PHP to sort all the dates present in the array in decreasing order.

So let's start following example.

Example : 1

To sort an array of dates in PHP, the code is as follows.

<?php

    function compareDate($date1, $date2){
        return strtotime($date1) - strtotime($date2);
    }

    $dateArray = array("2021-11-11", "2021-10-10","2021-08-10", "2021-09-08");
    usort($dateArray, "compareDate");

    print_r($dateArray);

?>
Output:

This will produce the following output?

Array
(
   [0] => 2021-08-10
   [1] => 2021-09-08
   [2] => 2021-10-10
   [3] => 2021-11-11
)
