The PHP function krsort() sorts an array by its keys in reverse order while preserving key‑value associations.
It accepts the array by reference and an optional sort_flags parameter to modify sorting behavior, returning TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
Example:
"lemon",
"a" => "orange",
"b" => "banana",
"c" => "apple"
);
krsort($fruits);
foreach ($fruits as $key => $val) {
echo "$key = $val\n";
}
?>The output will be:
d = lemon
c = apple
b = banana
a = orangeWritten by
