Description:
------------
---
From manual page: https://php.net/function.arsort
---
See "Example #1 arsort() example". Executing this example in the interactive console (php -a) gives completely different result:

php > $fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
php > asort($fruits);
php > foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
php {     echo "$key = $val\n";
php { }
c = apple
b = banana
d = lemon
a = orange


1) expected: sorting by key
actual: sorting by value
2) expected: sorting is ascending
actual: sorting is descending

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$fruits = array("d" => "lemon", "a" => "orange", "b" => "banana", "c" => "apple");
arsort($fruits);
foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
    echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>


Expected result:
----------------
I expect to see this output in the documentation:

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

Actual result:
--------------
a = orange
d = lemon
b = banana
c = apple

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

You've used asort() instead of arsort().
