Find the position inside this Yii 2 query - php

Question

I have this following Yii 2 query
$find = People::find()->where(['c_id' => $c_id])->orderBy('totals DESC, id DESC')->all();
So imagine this query was an array. Everything found by this query has an "id" attribute.
Since it's sorted by "totals", I essentially want to return the position in the array where I can find this specific id.
Currently, I'm using this code.
foreach ($find as $t) {
$arr[] = $t->id;
if ($t->id == $id) {
break;
}
}
$key = count($arr);
return $key;
However, this code is vany wayow on a 100k+ result query.
Is there anyway to speed this up?

Answer 1

You could get the result as an array (instead of object) as
$find = People::find()->where(['c_id' => $c_id])
->orderBy('totals DESC, id DESC')
->asArray()
->all();
then you could find your value using array_search()
$my_index = array_search($id,$find);
but for 100k+ you should find using a direct select in db...instead tha looping on php or load all in php and scan with array_search()

Answer 2

To get array from query in YII, you can use queryAll();
$find = People::find()->where(['c_id' => $c_id])->orderBy('totals DESC, id DESC')->queryAll();
OR, another way to convert the object into an array is:
$find = json_decode(json_encode($find), true); // to convert all data into array.
And once you get results in array, you can implement the actual code for your requirement as given below.
You can use array_search() function to get index of your value.
$a=array("a"=>"red","b"=>"green","c"=>"blue");
echo array_search("red",$a);
The array_search() function search an array for a value and returns the key.

Maybe I didn't understand you correctly but I assume that you are trying to detect the index or key for your desired id inside an array returned from an SQL query that is sorted by some other column like total.
So let us fetch records from the database with your query with a little change asArray() like this
$find = People::find()
->where(['c_id' => $c_id])
->orderBy('totals DESC, id DESC')
->asArray()
->all();
in the result, let us assume the People table returns you an array with the following dataset ordered by columns total and id DESC.
[
0 => [
'id' => 2 ,
'c_id'=>2,
'name' => 'John' ,
'age'=>18,
'totals'=>100,
],
1=>[
'id'=>1,
'c_id'=>55,
'name'=>'Bob',
'age'=>20,
'totals'=>80,
],
2=>[
'id'=>3,
'c_id'=>85,
'name'=>'Peter',
'age'=>15,
'totals'=>75,
]
];
Now if you look into \yii\helpers\ArrayHelper you will find ArrayHelper::getColumn().
Let us use this on the array we received from the query, I assume that you are searching $id inside the column id so we will first filter out the id column like below.
$idsArray = ArrayHelper::getColumn($find, 'id');
this will give us the ids in the following sequence which is in the same order as the initial result set.
[2,1,3]
then lets use the built-in php function array_search()
$key=array_search($yourId,$idsArray);
Hope this is what you are looking for.
