The following code doesn't work :

$received_array = uasort($send_array,"mycmp")
$received_array isn't a correct array (but the integer 1 in general)

Where if I do this :

$received_array = uasort(&$send_array,"mycmp")
$received_array is still not correct, but $send_array has been sorted.

The proto in PHP 4.2.0 for this function is:

bool uasort ( array array, function cmp_function)

Which means, that the fuction only returns TRUE or FALSE
depending whether it succeeded or not.
Please update to PHP 4.2.0 first.

And please add a complete, short script which can be used
to reproduce the problem.

Shame on me ... I don't know how to read the php manual.

In the manual, uasort returns a void ... and NOT the sorted array.

Sorry guys, I was tired yesterday night when I tried for 2 hours to make this sort working.

I don't think there is a need for a script any more no ?

Thanks Jani
