This approach keeps giving me PHP Warnings: usort() [function.usort]: of all kinds which I can provide later as needed to comment out those methods and definitions in order to test and fix some minor bugs of our program.
**$billy parameters are already defined.
$all -> addContact($billy);
// --> ended up adding each contact manually above
$all->Sort('name',true);
$items = $all->getItems();
foreach($items as $contact)
{
echo $contact->__toString();
}
$all->sort();
The reason for using usort is to re-arrange the order alphabetically by name but somehow is either stating that the function comparison needs to be an array or another errors which obviously I have seemed to pass. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
