I wonder if there is better (faster) way to search for value in multidimensional array than looping through every item.
Lets say i have
$id_to_search = '16819976033';
And array which is pretty big
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => Array
(
[0] => 16771055710
[1] => 16776555710
[2] => 16819976033
)
[o] => 21566
[p] => 12597.66
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => Array
(
[0] => 14089762
)
[o] => 12606
[p] => 1747.49
)
etc ...
)
I can find it if i loop through each item and than compare them but its very slow because array is big.
You can use by array_search function in PHP:
$key = array_search($id_to_search, array_column($YourArray, 'id'));

I am working with an array that sometimes has a multidimensional array. I am trying to accomplish making this array into a single line array.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[attribute_code] => 203
[attribute_value] => Array
(
[0] => 24214
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[attribute_code] => 252
[attribute_value] => Array
(
[0] => 22865
[1] => 25086
)
)
)
This is what I am trying to accomplish
Array
(
[0] => {"attribute_code":"203","attribute_value":"24214"}
[1] => {"attribute_code":"252","attribute_value":["22865","25086"]}
)
What would the best way to accomplish this?
That is just JSON encoding each element:
$result = array_map("json_encode", $array);
I have a multi-dimensional array that I would like to get unique sub-values from, but also have a count of how many times those unique sub-values occurred.
For instance, this would be my starting array:
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1533438473619168
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 3333333333333333
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1533438473619168
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 5555555555555555
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1533438473619168
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 77777777777777777
)
)
In the end, I'd like to have an array that looks like this:
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1533438473619168
[count] => 3
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 3333333333333333
[count] => 1
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 5555555555555555
[count] => 1
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 77777777777777777
[count] => 1
)
)
Is there any general/easy way to do this without iterating through the first array for each value, comparing/storing the values in a temporary array, checking them, and adding to the count?
To get this exact format you may need to iterate thought your current array and do the counting manually, however php has the array_count_values() and array_unique() functions for this kind of thing:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-count-values.php
http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php
Because you are only concerned with the deepest values of the array, using array_walk_recursive seems suitable for this. Note that a reference to the output array $counted is used in the callback.
array_walk_recursive($ids, function($id, $k) use (&$counted) {
$counted[$id] = isset($counted[$id]) ? $counted[$id] + 1 : 1;
});
Using the id as the key in the $counted array will simplify the counting. The result of this will be somewhat different from your suggested output, but in my opinion it would actually be simpler to use. (e.g. foreach ($counted as $id => $count) {...).
$counted = array(
"1533438473619168" => 3
"3333333333333333" => 1
"5555555555555555" => 1
"77777777777777777" => 1);
I'm having trouble combining these two arrays so that the keys are kept together. The problem (I think) I'm having is that the arrays don't match in their structures, and the array keys are integers in one and names in the other. I feel like I need to have one array (feel free to correct me) so that I can display the prices coherently on the page, but I can't wrap my head around how to do it. I tried an array_merge, but it looses the indexed tlds sub-array:
$result = array();
foreach($cats[0]['domorder'] as $domorder) {
$result = array_merge($domorder, $prices[0]);
}
Maybe I can somehow (this isn't working either) add a 'price' sub-array that won't be overwritten?
$result = array();
$prc = array();
$prc['price'] = $prices[0];
foreach($prc as $p) {
$result = array_merge($p, $cats[0]['domorder'][0]);
}
Here's basically what I'm working with...my apologies if these are not formatted correctly for questions here.
Array 1, category definitions of hosting/domain name products:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[hosting] => Array
(
[0] => vpslinuxin
[1] => resellerhostinglinuxuk
[2] => resellerwindowshostinguk
........etc,etc.........
[34] => hosting
)
[domorder] => Array

(
[dombiz] => Array
(
[0] => biz
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[dominfo] => Array

)
)
........etc,etc.........
Array 2, prices associated to the above categorized products:
Array

(
[resellerhostinglinuxuk] => Array
(
[131] => Array
(
[renew] => Array
(
[1] => 43.19
)
[ssl] => 4.79
[add] => Array
(
[1] => 43.19
)
)
........etc,etc.........
[dombiz] => Array
(
[addtransferdomain] => Array
(
[1] => 10.69
)
[restoredomain] => Array
(
[1] => 69.95
)
[addnewdomain] => Array
(
[10] => 10.89
[9] => 10.89
)
........etc,etc.........
Anyone? I feel like this should be a fairly easy merge, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
Edit
Here's an example of how I think it should work:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[hosting] => Array
(
[vpslinuxin] => Array
(
[prices] => Array
(
[addons] => Array
(
.......
)
[plans] => Array
(
.......
)
)
)
)
[domorder] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[dombiz] => Array
(
[tlds] => Array
(
[0] => biz
)
[prices] => Array
(
[addtransferdomain] => Array
(
.......
)
[restoredomain] => Array
(
.......
)
[addnewdomain] => Array
(
.......
)
[renewdomain] => Array
(
.......
)
)
)
)
)
)
)
thanks for your help Michael but I managed to get it.
I was thinking too hard about it, so after dinner and some relaxing, I decided to simplify what I've been trying. There's no hard/fast rule saying that the two arrays need to be together - ultimately they're going to end up together anyway. So I just appended one to the other, defined by a 'product' and 'price' key:
$result = array();
$result[]['product'] = $cats[0];
$result[]['prices'] = $prices[0];
I know that ksort() is used to sort array by keys. The max dimension of my array always differs. Sometime 2, sometimes 5, sometime 10 dimensional so how do I use ksort() to do sorting dynamically without knowing how many dimensions exist in it?
Thanks

If you mean you want to sort recursive:
function deep_ksort(&$arr) {
ksort($arr);
foreach ($arr as &$a) {
if (is_array($a) && !empty($a)) {
deep_ksort($a);
}
}
}
This comes from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ksort.php#105399
I know this must be a fairly simple question, but I haven't managed to stumble across an answer yet.
I have the following array
$qid[0][0]=1;
$qid[1][0]=2;
$qid[2][0]=3;
$qid[3][0]=4;
When I use print_r($qid) I get the following
Array (
[0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 )
[1] => Array ( [0] => 2 )
[2] => Array ( [0] => 3 )
[3] => Array ( [0] => 4 )
)
I don't understand [1] => 0
in
[0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 )
If someone could explain what [1] => 0 means in this array, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
EDIT: It turns out that my array was indeed different to what I had written above, because it had been modified later in the code. Thanks everyone for the great answers. I'm still reading over them all and trying to make my mind understand them (Arrays turn my mind to jello).
[1] => 0 denotes an array element with the value 0.
The numbers in [] are array keys. So [1] is the second element of a numerically indexed array, (which starts with [0]), and the value of the second element ([1]) is 0.
PHP uses => as an operator to relate array keys/indices to their values.
So an overall explanation of this structure:
Array (
[0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 )
[1] => Array ( [0] => 2 )
[2] => Array ( [0] => 3 )
[3] => Array ( [0] => 4 )
)
The outer array is a numerically indexed array, and each of its elements is a sub-array. The first of them ([0]) is an array containing 2 elements, while the rest of them ([1] through [3]) are arrays containing only one single element.
That two-dimensional array is actually a one-dimensional array of arrays, which is why you're getting the nesting. The [x] => y bit simply means that index x of the array has the value y.
Now your output in this case doesn't actually match your code, since
$qid[0][0]=1;
$qid[1][0]=2;
$qid[2][0]=3;
$qid[3][0]=4;
print_r($qid);
produces:
Array (
[0] => Array ( [0] => 1 )
[1] => Array ( [0] => 2 )
[2] => Array ( [0] => 3 )
[3] => Array ( [0] => 4 )
)
If you wanted to get:
Array (
[0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 0 )
[1] => Array ( [0] => 2 )
[2] => Array ( [0] => 3 )
[3] => Array ( [0] => 4 )
)
(with the first array having two elements), you'd actually need:
$qid[0][0]=1;
$qid[0][1]=0;
$qid[1][0]=2;
$qid[2][0]=3;
$qid[3][0]=4;
print_r($qid);
You probably added a second item to $qid[0] somewhere ($qid[0][1] = 0). This code
$qid[0][0]=1;
$qid[1][0]=2;
$qid[2][0]=3;
$qid[3][0]=4;
outputs the the correct values for me (without [1] => 0:
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 1 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 2 ) [2] => Array ( [0] => 3 ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 4 ) )
It means that your index 0 in the original Array contains another Array of 2 items.
Specifically [1] => 0 means that the 2nd item of the "child" Array contains the number 0.
[1] => 0
in this simple way we can say that 1 is your array key and 0 is value for the 1 key
0 is store at the 1 key of the array
thanks
Simply put, you have a numerically indexed multidimensional array. http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php should have all the information you need to read up on this.
As to why you have the [1] => 0, you'll need to look a little deeper into your code to see where it gets assigned.
I got the following result after printing out the array using print_r:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => 2
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => 3
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => 4
)
)
I guess, you might have set a value for $gid[0][1] somewhere in your code.
