24 * A collection of static methods to play with arrays.
30 * Sort the given array in a pseudo-random order which depends only on the
31 * given key and each element value in $array. This is typically used for load
32 * balancing between servers each with a local cache.
34 * Keys are preserved. The input array is modified in place.
36 * Note: Benchmarking on PHP 5.3 and 5.4 indicates that for small
37 * strings, md5() is only 10% slower than hash('joaat',...) etc.,
38 * since the function call overhead dominates. So there's not much
39 * justification for breaking compatibility with installations
40 * compiled with ./configure --disable-hash.
42 * @param array $array Array to sort
44 * @param string $separator A separator used to delimit the array elements and the
45 * key. This can be chosen to provide backwards compatibility with
46 * various consistent hash implementations that existed before this
47 * function was introduced.
49 public static function consistentHashSort( &$array, $key, $separator = "\000" ) {
51 foreach ( $array as $elt ) {
52 $hashes[$elt] = md5( $elt . $separator . $key );
54 uasort( $array, function ( $a, $b ) use ( $hashes ) {
55 return strcmp( $hashes[$a], $hashes[$b] );
60 * Given an array of non-normalised probabilities, this function will select
61 * an element and return the appropriate key
63 * @param array $weights
64 * @return bool|int|string

count( $weights ) == 0 ) {
71 $sum = array_sum( $weights );
73 # No loads on any of them
74 # In previous versions, this triggered an unweighted random selection,
75 # but this feature has been removed as of April 2006 to allow for strict
76 # separation of query groups.
79 $max = mt_getrandmax();

83 foreach ( $weights as $i => $w ) {
85 # Do not return keys if they have 0 weight.

87 if ( $w > 0 && $sum >= $rand ) {
96 * Do a binary search, and return the index of the largest item that sorts
97 * less than or equal to the target value.
101 * @param callable $valueCallback A function to call to get the value with
102 * a given array index.
103 * @param int $valueCount The number of items accessible via $valueCallback,
104 * indexed from 0 to $valueCount - 1
105 * @param callable $comparisonCallback A callback to compare two values, returning
106 * -1, 0 or 1 in the style of strcmp().
107 * @param string $target The target value to find.
109 * @return int|bool The item index of the lower bound, or false if the target value
110 * sorts before all items.

147 * Do array_diff_assoc() on multi-dimensional arrays.
149 * Note: empty arrays are removed.
153 * @param array $array1 The array to compare from
154 * @param array $array2,... More arrays to compare against
155 * @return array An array containing all the values from array1
156 * that are not present in any of the other arrays.
