php array returning duplicate values - php

Question

I am trying to loop through each key but i am facing a problem of same value repeating inside for each loop
Please be noted we should keep on same code structure multiple foreach it's requirement i already posted this question here but didn't get solution instead of solution entire new code as answer imposed on me and nobody is actually taking care of it
Here is example of my current code and result (click here)
here is my code so far
<?php
$data2 = array(
'category_name' => '33287*100*prescription*1,32457*1250*lab*1'
);
$result = array('0' => (object)$data2);
foreach ($result as $key => $category) {
$category_name = explode(',', $category->category_name);
}
$newresults=[];
foreach ($category_name as $key) {
$category->category_name = $key;
$newresults[]=$category;
}
$result=$newresults;
$newresults=[];
$category->items_count = 0;
foreach ($result as $key => $value) {
list($sale_key, $sale_value) = explode('*', $value->category_name);
// $category->items_count += count($sale_value);
$newresults[]=$category;
}
$result=$newresults;
i am getting the wrong results like this
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[category_name] => 33287*100*prescription*1
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[category_name] => 33287*100*prescription*1
)
)

As noted, because you are reusing variable names, and also using them when their scope might not be correct or accepted, you are causing some confusion.
The code below brings the bottom loop inside of the top loop, because that's where the context really lives. Creating a temporary loop only adds to the potential confusion. If that doesn't work with the additional logic, more changes will be needed. I also changed a bunch of the variable names to hopefully make things more obvious. See the comments in the code for more details.
$reporting_data = array(
'category_name' => '33287*100*prescription*1,32457*1250*lab*1,32459*1500*lab*1,32460*400*lab*1,32461*600*lab*1,32468*950*lab*1,32470*950*lab*1,33291*2500*lab*1,33292*2500*lab*1,47516*2000*lab*1,49209*0*lab*1,56835*2400*lab*1,56836*2400*lab*1',
'patient' => '28370',
'date' => 1643030497,
'ref' => '371',
);
// Create array of objects
$reporting_data_as_objects[] = (object)$reporting_data;
$results = [];
foreach ($reporting_data_as_objects as &$obj) {
// Setup base data that is shared across all items
$obj->reception_data_sum = 0;
$obj->references_data_sum = 0;
$obj->actual_price = 0;
$category_names = explode(',', $obj->category_name);
// Loop over the comma-delimited parts of category_name
foreach ($category_names as $category_name) {
// Clone our template object
$tmp = clone $obj;
// The second item of the asterisk-delimted field is the price
// We used $_ to indicate that we aren't interested in the first item.
list($_, $sale_value) = explode('*', $category_name);
// Set object-specific fields on our clone
$tmp->category_name = $category_name;
$tmp->actual_price = (int)$sale_value;
// Add the clone to the array
$results[] = $tmp;
}
}
// Always unset by-ref variables of a foreach
unset($obj);
print_r($results);
