PHP accessing property inside multi-dimensional array, which has an outer array - php

Question

I have one array that I am foreaching over:
array:8132 [
0 => {#551
"address_id": "94e224af-135f-af31-3619-535acfae9930"
"fiber_phase": "101"
"parsed_hash": "1bc7fb114ee10d7cb9cea10693d238b5"
"min_number": 400
"max_number": 499
"sales_rep": "164"
"id": "abd90d6b-28a8-2be6-d6c1-abd9007aef38"
"name": "48TH ST E"
"block_minimum": 400
"block_maximum": 498
}
Inside the foreach, I have another array, that I need to access certain properties for an if statement that will then add a new property to the original array ($data):
foreach ($data as $phase) {
$all_phases = EmeraldFiber::getPhases();
dd($all_phases);
if ($phase->fiber_phase === $all_phases[1]['name']) {
$phase->fiber_status = $all_phases[1]['fiber_status'];
}
return $data;
}
The dd($all_phases); looks like this:
array:270 [
1 => array:7 [
"id" => "10bc06d0-05de-07e2-b2de-5214fba5045a"
"name" => "1"
"description" => "50th France"
"encoded_points" => "_sbqGnesxPJwv#iJBKpv#fJ#"
"fiber_status" => "Live"
"status_date" => "2010-09-01 00:00:00"
]
With the above foreach, I am only getting the original array returned, without the new property fiber_status. Am I not returning it correctly? Or do I need to map over the second array ($all_phases) to access those properties properly?

Answer 1

I presume you don't need to return anything:
// receive object once instead receiving of it multiple times
$all_phases = EmeraldFiber::getPhases();
// extract required values
$phase_name = $all_phases[1]['name'];
$phase_status = $all_phases[1]['fiber_status'];
foreach ($data as $phase) {
if ($phase->fiber_phase === $phase_name) {
$phase->fiber_status = $phase_status;
}
}
// if you have this code in a function - return data here
// otherwise - you don't need return
// return $data;
Update:
If $all_phases is array with all available phases and you need to check if $phase->fiber_phase is among them, then you should do the following:
// receive object once instead receiving of it multiple times
$all_phases = EmeraldFiber::getPhases();
// create pairs
$phase_names = [];
foreach ($all_phases as $item) {
$phase_names[$item['name']] = $item['fiber_status'];
}
foreach ($data as $phase) {
// check if `$phase->fiber_phase` exists in `$phase_names`
if (isset($phase_names[$phase->fiber_phase])) {
// if it does - add it's value to `$phase` object
$phase->fiber_status = $phase_names[$phase->fiber_phase];
}
}
