PHP Custom array sort filenames by year and month, newest first -

-

i've got array of files looks this:

array (   0 => 'scpt-01-2010.phtml',   1 => 'scpt-01-2011.phtml',   2 => 'scpt-02-2010.phtml',   3 => 'scpt-02-2011.phtml',   4 => 'scpt-03-2010.phtml',   5 => 'scpt-04-2010.phtml',   6 => 'scpt-05-2010.phtml',   7 => 'scpt-06-2010.phtml',   8 => 'scpt-07-2010.phtml',   9 => 'scpt-08-2010.phtml',   10 => 'scpt-09-2010.phtml',   11 => 'scpt-10-2010.phtml',   12 => 'scpt-11-2010.phtml',   13 => 'scpt-12-2010.phtml', );

how can sort 2011 files appear first, in order of month (so should lead scpt-02-2011.phtml)?

i've tried main sorting functions natsort, rsort, arsort etc i'm not getting anywhere fast!

thanks in advance. 

function customsort($a, $b) {     // extract values simple regular expression     preg_match('/scpt-(\d{2})-(\d{4})\.phtml/i', $a, $matches1);     preg_match('/scpt-(\d{2})-(\d{4})\.phtml/i', $b, $matches2);      // if years equal, compare month     if ($matches2[2] == $matches1[2]) {         return $matches2[1] - $matches1[1];     // otherwise, compare year     } else {         return $matches2[2] - $matches1[2];     } }  // sort array usort($array, 'customsort');

this method uses usort() sort array, passing name of our comparison function.

c# - Is it possible to remove an existing registration from Autofac container builder? -

something along lines: builder.registertype<mytype>().as<itype>(); builder.registertype<mytype2>().as<itype>(); builder.deregistertype<mytype>().as<itype>() var container = builder.build(); var types = container.resolve<ienumerable<itype>>(); assert.istrue(types.count == 1); assert.istrue(types[0].gettype == typeof(mytype2)); scenario: go through bunch of assemblies , go register types want make sure have 1 implementation of given type. need before create container. track on own nice if autofac me bit. this cannot done directly using containerbuilder , unless start on new one. mind you, having first built container should able construct new container filtering away unwanted types , reusing registrations first container. this: ... var container = builder.build(); builder = new containerbuilder(); var components = container.componentregistry.registrations .where(cr => cr.activator.limittype != typ...

php - Mysql PK and FK char(36) vs int(10) -

-
i have read mysql can handle indexes , searches better if tables keys integers rather char(36) uuid's. is worth converting int(10)? note: use 1 server , have have plans use multiple databases concurrently therefore removing 1 of big reasons using uuid. our tables innodb if makes difference. thanks in advance. usually rdbms can handle integer keys pk more efficient, other datatypes. reason how build index column, yes: long dont require string (or other typed) keys, should use integers. however: char(36) , int(10) far away being equal, because int(10) much smaller, char(36). dont know, if require many different keys, should keep in mind. update, complete last paragraph: int(10) 32-bit, char(36) 36 - ^byte^ (= 288-bit). not mean, int consumes less space, means, char(36) has 4 times more different keys.
