I used the example given in the asort documentation. The result is not correct. Here is the example for your convenience:

$fruits = array ("d"=>"lemon", "a"=>"orange", "b"=>"banana", "c"=>"apple");
asort ($fruits);
reset ($fruits);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($fruits)) {
    echo "$key = $val\n";
}

The actual output is 
d = lemon
a = orange
b = banana
c = apple

The expected output is
c = apple
b = banana
d = lemon
a = orange

Hrm..  On my Linux box your script outputs:

c = apple
b = banana
d = lemon
a = orange

Are you on a 64-bit platform?  I'm looking at the zend_qsort() function but I don't see an obvious mistake.

The platform that I am using is 64-bit.

BTW - before upgrading to 4.21, we were using 4.06 and the sort function worked fine.

Sterling mentioned something about a cast fix in zend_qsort, please try http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz

I'm the person responsible for PHP on bstoppel's system.  I've just built php4-200208201200 and it looks like asort() is working properly again.  However, I'm seeing this message when running php:

Unaligned access pid=26595 <php> va=0x1400b701c pc=0x12025d930 ra=0x12025d040 inst=0xb4010000

which indicates an unaligned memory access.  I couldn't build zend_API.c without adding an #include "php.h" to get the macro re-definition of snprintf() but I was told that could be a "bad" thing to do so perhaps that is causing the unaligned memory accesses...

Duplicate to bug #17449. This bug is already closed in current CVS. 4.3.0 will work, I hope 4.2.3 will work too.
