PHP Array key order [closed]

Question

Will PHP sort the array, or it will keep the order of the keys by the order of insertion?

(for example: when doing foreach or when using array_values)

Thank you.

ksort() use to sort keys php.net/manual/en/array.sorting.php — user2801382, Dec 13 '13 at 12:53
@TaruStolovich: What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Please explain. — Amal Murali, Dec 13 '13 at 12:55
If you just do a foreach it will keep the order you inserted. You should try before ask — demonofnight, Dec 13 '13 at 12:56
Of course I tried, but I couldn't know if it has remained that way because it's PHP standard, or just because I've used certain values which have produced hashes that keep them sorted the way I've inserted them accidently. — Taru Stolovich, Dec 13 '13 at 13:00

No. To do so, you have to use a sort function.

But if you mean indexed arrays: They are already ordered.
