How to remove extra array in arrays list in laravel - php

Question

Screenshot
As you see my data are loaded inside extra SNHISTORY array and I need to remove that extra array.
Code
Lines regarding to screenshot results are commented.
$array = [];
foreach($internalTransits as $key => $item) {
foreach($item->barcodes as $barcode){}
$a = $item->barcodes;
$grouped = $a->mapToGroups(function ($item, $key) {
return [
'SNHISTORY' => [ // my arrays to move out
'_attributes' => [
'operation' => 'Ret'
],
'SERIALNUMBER' => $item['serial_number'] ? $item['serial_number'] : $item['u_serial_number'],
'EXPIREDDATE' => $item['created_at']->format('Y-m-d'),
'QUANTITY' => '1',
'SNSIGN' => '-1',
],
'ITEMUNIT' => $item['product']['unit'],
'UNITPRICE' => $item['product']['price'],
];
});
$year = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $item['created_at'])->year;
$month = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $item['created_at'])->month;
$timeline[$key][] = [
'_attributes' => [
'operation' => 'Add'
],
'KeyID' => $barcode['product']['id'],
'ITEMNO' => $barcode['product']['sku'],
'QUANTITY' => '1',
'ITEMUNIT' => $barcode['product']['unit'],
'UNITRATIO' => '1',
'ITEMRESERVED1' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED2' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED3' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED4' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED5' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED6' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED7' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED8' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED9' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED10' => '',
'UNITPRICE' => $barcode['product']['price'],
'QTYCONTROL' => '0',
'SNHISTORY' => $grouped->toArray(), // this has extra array where my actual arrays are loaded inside of it
];
$array['TRANSACTIONS'] = [
'_attributes' => [
'OnError' => 'CONTINUE'
],
];
$array['TRANSACTIONS']['WTRAN'] = [
'_attributes' => [
'operation' => 'Add',
'REQUESTID' => '1',
],
'TRANSFERID' => $item['id'],
'TRANSACTIONID' => '',
'TRANSFERNO' => $item['transNu'],
'TRANSFERDATE' => $item['created_at']->format('Y-m-d'),
'DESCRIPTION' => $item['description'],
'FROMWHID' => $barcode['outlet'][0]['name'],
'TOWHID' => $item->toOutlet->name,
'FROMWHADDRESS' => '',
'TOWHADDRESS' => '',
];
$array['TRANSACTIONS']['WTRAN']['ITEMLINE'] = $timeline;
}
What I've tried
I cannot change 'SNHISTORY' => $grouped->toArray(), to something like $grouped->toArray(), under $timeline[$key][] = [ it will return error
I cannot add $array['TRANSACTIONS']['WTRAN']['ITEMLINE']['SNHISTORY'] = $grouped->toArray(); and remove 'SNHISTORY' => $grouped->toArray(), it will return error known bug
Question
How can I remove extra SNHISTORY around my data?

Answer 1

As mentioned in the comments section, you probably want to merge both arrays together:
$timeline[$key][] = [
'_attributes' => [
'operation' => 'Add'
],
'KeyID' => $barcode['product']['id'],
'ITEMNO' => $barcode['product']['sku'],
'QUANTITY' => '1',
'ITEMUNIT' => $barcode['product']['unit'],
'UNITRATIO' => '1',
'ITEMRESERVED1' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED2' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED3' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED4' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED5' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED6' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED7' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED8' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED9' => '',
'ITEMRESERVED10' => '',
'UNITPRICE' => $barcode['product']['price'],
'QTYCONTROL' => '0',
] + $grouped->toArray();

Answer 2

as i can see in your screen shot data
you are getting xml data you need to convert that into array
function xmlToArray($xml_string)
{
$doc = #simplexml_load_string($xml_string);
if ($doc) {
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_string);
$json = json_encode($xml);
return json_decode($json, true);
}
}
then u will get real array then u don't need to remove that as that is a parent key
