Create an array with indeterminate length starting on 0 - php

Question

I have 50 (or less) arrays from database and I need to return them in one array.
I'm currently using
$results = DB::table('coinflip_history')->where('ct', Auth::user()->steamid)->orWhere('t', Auth::user()->steamid)->orderByRaw('round_id DESC')->limit(50)->get();
$results = json_decode($results, true);
$i=1;
foreach ($results as $key => $value) {
if (!$value['winner']) $array[$i] = array('secret' => null, 'winning_string' => null, 'hash' => $value['hash'], 'timestamp' => $value['time']);
else $array[$i] = array('secret' => $value['secret'], 'winning_string' => $value['percentage'], 'hash' => $value['hash'], 'timestamp' => $value['time']);
$i++;
}
return array($array[1], $array[2], $array[3], $array[4], $array[5], $array[6], $array[7], $array[8], $array[9], $array[10], $array[11], $array[12], $array[13], $array[14], $array[15], $array[16], $array[17], $array[18], $array[19], $array[20], $array[21], $array[22], $array[23], $array[24], $array[25], $array[26], $array[27], $array[28], $array[29], $array[30], $array[31], $array[32], $array[33], $array[34], $array[35], $array[36], $array[37], $array[38], $array[39], $array[40], $array[41], $array[42], $array[43], $array[44], $array[45], $array[46], $array[47], $array[48], $array[49], $array[50]);
But if there are less than 50 arrays it's not working.
Is there any way to make it work automatically?

Answer 1

All arrays have indices.
It's just that kind of data data structure.
There is no way on PHP of generating an array without indices. It wouldn't be an array.
The only thing you are accomplishing with your code is generating an array starting on 1, and then creating a new array starting on 0.
Since both things are functionally equivalent, I guess that the problem exist down the line when you return an 1-based array.
So if you would do:
$array = [];
$results = json_decode($results, true);
foreach($results as $key => $value){
if(!$value['winner']) {
$array[] = [
'secret' => null,
'winning_string' => null,
'hash' => $value['hash'],
'timestamp' => $value['time']
];
}
else {
$array[] = [
'secret' => $value['secret'],
'winning_string' => $value['percentage'],
'hash' => $value['hash'],
'timestamp' => $value['time']
];
}
}
return $array;
You'd get what you need. This is 100% the same than what you are doing up there, but with less steps, and that works for any number of values on the returned $array.

// as simple as this
return $array;
