I need to fill up an variable with *range* and some extra numbers. So my variable should have numbers `101-167, `201-245` + `255`. For one range is easy, but can't figure out to add extra numbers:
$i = range(101,167) ??
Then I also have a case that I need to remove few numbers 301-351, but take out 329 and 340. Do I just make several ranges like 301-218, 330-339, 341-351?
Thanks
Use array_merge() to concatenate multiple arrays.
$multi_ranges = array_merge(range(101, 167), range(201, 245), [255]);
You can use array_diff() to remove a list of values from the range:
$range_without = array_diff(range(301, 351), [329, 340]);
You can combine these arbitrarily.
$ranges = array_merge(
range(101, 167),
range(201, 245),
[255],
array_diff(range(301, 351), [329, 340])
);

The following is the code
<?php
$id ="202883-202882-202884-0";
$str = implode('-',array_unique(explode('-', $id)));
echo $str;
?>
The result is
202883-202882-202884-0
for $id ="202883-202882-202882-0";, result is 202883-202882-0
I would like to replace the duplicate value with zero, so that the result should be like 202883-202882-0-0, not just remove it.
and for $id ="202883-0-0-0";, result should be 202883-0-0-0. zero should not be replaced, repeating zeros are allowed.
How can I archive that?
More info:
I want to replace every duplicate numbers. Because this is for a product comparison website. There will be only maximum 4 numbers. each will be either a 6 digit number or single digit zero. all zero means no product was selected. one 6 digit number and 3 zero means, one product selected and 3 blank.
Each 6 digit number will collect data from database, I dont want to allow users to enter same number multiple times (will happen only if the number is add with the URL manually.).
Update: I understand that my question was not clear, may be my English is poor.
Here is more explanation, this function is for a smartphone comparison website.
The URL format is sitename.com/compare.html?id=202883-202882-202889-202888.
All three numbers are different smartphones(their database product ID).
I dont want to let users to type in the same product ID like id=202883-202882-202882-202888. It will not display two 202882 results in the website, but it will cause some small issues. The URL will be same without change, but the internal PHP code should consider it as id=202883-202882-202888-0.
The duplicates should be replaced as zero and added to the end.
There will be only 4 numbers separated by "-".
The following examples might clear the cloud!
if pid=202883-202882-202889-202888 the result should be 202883-202882-202889-202888
if pid=202883-202883-202883-202888 the result should be 202888-0-0-0
if pid=202883-202882-202883-202888 the result should be 202883-202882-202888-0
if pid=202882-202882-202882-202882 the result should be 202882-0-0-0
I want to allow only either 6 digit numbers or single digit zero through the string.
if pid=rgfsdg-fgsdfr4354-202883-0 the result should be 202883-0-0-0
if pid=fasdfasd-asdfads-adsfds-dasfad the result should be 0-0-0-0
if pid=4354-45882-445202882-202882 the result should be 202882-0-0-0
It is too complicated for me create, I know there are bright minds out there who can do it much more efficiently than I can.
You can do a array_unique (preserves key), then fill the gaps with 0. Sort by key and you are done :)
+ on arrays will unify the arrays but prioritizes the one on the left.
Code
$input = "0-1-1-3-1-1-3-5-0";
$array = explode('-', $input);
$result = array_unique($array) + array_fill(0, count($array), 0);
ksort($result);
var_dump(implode('-',$result));
Code (v2 - suggested by mickmackusa) - shorter and easier to understand
Fill an array of the size of the input array. And replace by leftover values from array_unique. No ksort needed. 0s will be replaced at the preserved keys of array_unique.
$input = "0-1-1-3-1-1-3-5-0";
$array = explode('-', $input);
$result = array_replace(array_fill(0, count($array), 0), array_unique($array));
var_export($result);
Working example.
Output
string(17) "0-1-0-3-0-0-0-5-0"
Working example.
references
ksort - sort by key
array_fill - generate an array filled with 0 of a certain length
This is another way to do it.
$id = "202883-202882-202882-0-234567-2-2-45435";
From the String you explode the string into an array based on the delimiter which in this case is '-'/
$id_array = explode('-', $id);
Then we can loop through the array and for every unique entry we find, we can store it in another array. Thus we are building an array as we search through the array.
$id_array_temp = [];
// Loop through the array
foreach ($id_array as $value) {
if ( in_array($value, $id_array_temp)) {
// If the entry exists, replace it with a 0
$id_array_temp[] = 0;
} else {
// If the entry does not exist, save the value so we can inspect it on the next loop.
$id_array_temp[] = $value;
}
}
At the end of this operation we will have an array of unique values with any duplicates replaced with a 0.
To recreate the string, we can use implode...
$str = implode('-', $id_array_temp);
echo $str;
Refactoring this, using a ternary to replace the If,else...
$id_array = explode('-', $id);
$id_array_temp = [];
foreach ($id_array as $value) {
$id_array_temp[] = in_array($value, $id_array_temp) ? 0 : $value;
}
$str = implode('-', $id_array_temp);
echo $str;
Output is
202883-202882-0-0-234567-2-0-45435
This appears to be a classic XY Problem.
The essential actions only need to be:
Separate the substrings in the hyphen delimited string.
Validate that the characters in each substring are in the correct format AND are unique to the set.
Only take meaningful action on qualifying value.
You see, there is no benefit to replacing/sanitizing anything when you only really need to validate the input data. Adding zeros to your input just creates more work later.
In short, you should use a direct approach similar to this flow:
if (!empty($_GET['id'])) {
$ids = array_unique(explode('-', $_GET['id']));
foreach ($ids as $id) {
if (ctype_digit($id) && strlen($id) === 6) {
// or: if (preg_match('~^\d{6}$~', $id)) {
takeYourNecessaryAction($id);
}
}
}
I'm searching for an algorithm to remove gaps between numbers. Example of my problem:
Here is a range of integers: [1,2,3,4,9,10,11,17...]
I need to make those numbers like this: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...]
Can anyone provide me with a working example of PHP code to obtain such a result?
You should fetch min and max from an array and create the range,
$min = min($arr);
$max = max($arr);
print_r(range($min,$max));
You can make by using range function as:
// given array 2,4,6 and 9 are missing.
$arr1 = array(1,3,5,7,8,10);
// construct a new array using range function by giving min(given array) and max(given array) value
$arr2 = range(min($arr1),max($arr1));
It's a simple question, but searching here I found different variations, but not really what I need. So:
Say I have array of numbers: [1,4,5,7,9]
What I need is an inverted result set of numbers up to max 10: [2,3,6,8,10]
$initialArray = array(1,4,5,7,9);
$requiredRange = range(1,10);
$invertedArray = array_diff($requiredRange,$initialArray);
I am using str_split() to split a long strings into an array of length 16 each. And I'm assigning the returned array to one in my function. Like this:
$myarray = str_split($string, 16);
The problem is that I want the indexing of $myarray to start from a number other than 0, say 50. Currently I'm doing this:
foreach($myarray as $id => $value)
{
$myarray[$id + 50] = $value;
unset($myarray[$id]);
}
Is there a better solution? Because the arrays and strings I'm dealing with are very long. Thanks
You can use array_pad().
$myarray = str_split($string, 16);
$myarray = array_pad($myarray, -(size($myarray)+50), null);
It will fill the first 50 elements with nulls and push the rest of the array forward by 50 elements.
I have a range of 67 numbers, something like 256 through to 323, which I want to add to an existing array. it doesn't matter what the values are.
looking for code to iterate through those numbers to add them as keys to the array without adding each one at a time
Try array_fill_keys and range
$existingArray = array('foo', 'bar', 'baz');
$existingArray += array_fill_keys(range(256,323), null);
Use whatever you like instead of null. You could also use array_flip() instead of array_fill_keys(). You'd get the index keys as values then, e.g. 256 => 1, 257 => 2, etc.
Alternatively, use array_merge instead of the + operator. Depends on the outcome you want.
you can use range() eg range(256,323)
push(); could be a look worth, or you can do it
like this
for($i=0;$i<count($array);$i++)
{
$anotherArray[$i] = $array[$i];
}
You can try using the range and array_merge functions.
Something like:
<?php
$arr = array(1,2,3); // existing array.
$new_ele = range(256,323);
// add the new elements to the array.
$arr= array_merge($arr,$new_ele);
var_dump($arr);
?>
