This question already has an answer here:
For example we have the following words: hey, hello, wrong
$unsorted = array("eyh", "lhleo", "nrwgo");
I know that I could use asort to sort the array alphabetically, but I don't want that. I wish to take the elements of the array and sort those, so that it would become something like this:
$sorted = array("ehy", "ehllo", "gnorw"); // each word in the array sorted
hey sorted = ehy
hello sorted = ehllo
wrong sorted = gnorw
As far as I know, the function sort will only work for arrays, so if you attempt to sort a word using sort, it will produce an error. If I had to assume, I will probably need to use a foreach along with strlen and a for statement or something similar, but I am not sure.
Thanks in advance!

$myArray = array("eyh", "lhleo", "nrwgo");
array_walk(
$myArray,
function (&$value) {
$value = str_split($value);
sort($value);
$value = implode($value);
}
);
print_r($myArray);
function sort_each($arr) {
foreach ($arr as &$string) {
$stringParts = str_split($string);
sort($stringParts);
$string = implode('', $stringParts);
}
return $arr;
}
$unsorted = array("eyh", "lhleo", "nrwgo");
$sorted = sort_each($unsorted);
print_r($sorted); // returns Array ( [0] => ehy [1] => ehllo [2] => gnorw )
Try this
$unsorted = array("eyh", "lhleo", "nrwgo");
$sorted = array();
foreach ($unsorted as $value) {
$stringParts = str_split($value);
sort($stringParts);
$sortedString = implode('', $stringParts);
array_push($sorted, $sortedString);
}
print_r($sorted);
