I am trying to create an associative array that will parse an alphabet for each month name. e.g JAN - A, FEB - B, MAR - C... I need some help for this. I have done a lot of searching but not able to. Can anyone help please?
Thanks in advance.
<?php
$my_month = date('m');
$months = array("JAN"=>"A",
"FEB"=>"B",
"MAR"=>"C",
"APR"=>"D",
"MAY"=>"E",
"JUN"=>"F",
"JUL"=>"G",
"AUG"=>"H",
"SEP"=>"I",
"OCT"=>"J",
"NOV"=>"K",
"DEC"=>"L" );
if ($my_month == date('M')) {
echo $months[$my_month];
} else {
echo 'almost there';
}
?>

The code you need to create an array as you want is this:
$months['1'] = 'A';
$months['2'] = 'B';
$months['3'] = 'C';
$months['4'] = 'D';
$months['5'] = 'E';
$months['6'] = 'F';
$months['7'] = 'G';
$months['8'] = 'H';
$months['9'] = 'I';
$months['10'] = 'J';
$months['11'] = 'K';
$months['12'] = 'L';
Or even better:
$months = array("1"=>"A",
"2"=>"B",
"3"=>"C",
"4"=>"D",
"5"=>"E",
"6"=>"F",
"7"=>"G",
"8"=>"H",
"9"=>"I",
"10"=>"J",
"11"=>"K",
"12"=>"L" );
And let's say the $my_month variable has the month (in the form 'JAN', 'FEB', ...) from which you want to get the corresponding letter. This is what you write to get the letter:
echo $months[$my_month];

Anyone have idea then let me know
With php version 5 above this will work link to execute
Link to an example https://paiza.io/projects/qfRZ07OP3OviWCVsUbdFtQ
function splitGroups($str){
$arr = [];
$i=0;
$sub = '';
while($i!=strlen($str))
{
$sub .= $str[$i];
if ( strlen($str)-1 == $i || $str[$i] != $str[$i+1] ){
$arr[] = $sub;

For example: A = 2, B = 4 & C = 2 then output should be uniqueNumber(A, B, C) = 4
if ($A==$B)
{
return $C;
}
if ($A==$C)
{
return $B;
}
return $A;
This should be a simple logic answer and you can either go with direct comparisons but that might be too hectic in case of more than 3 arguments.
You can try this out as well:
$num_arr = [$a,$b,$c];
for($i=0;$i<count($num_arr)-1; $i++)
{
if(!in_array($num_arr[$i],array_merge(array_slice($num_arr,0,$i),array_slice($num_arr,$i+1))))
return $num_arr[$i];
}
Or simply like this:
$num_arr = [$a,$b,$c];
for($i=0;$i<count($num_arr)-1; $i++)
{
$temp = $num_arr;
unset($temp[$i]);
if(!in_array($num_arr[$i],$temp))
return $num_arr[$i];
}
Tried implementing a more generic approach.
Hope it helps.

PHP check if value is one of other numbers in loop [closed]

If i have a loop for example
for ($a=1; $a<6; $a++)
Is it possible to say for the first loop if another variable like $b is the same as one of the other numbers that will come like 2, 3, 4 or 5.
And what if i have a word split, so every letter is a variable like this:
$letter1 = str_split($word)[0];
$letter2 = str_split($word)[1];
$letter3 = str_split($word)[2];
$letter4 = str_split($word)[3];
$letter5 = str_split($word)[4];
How can i check if $a is at 1 in the loop,if it is not letter1 but letter2, 3, 4 or 5?
sure. Just check it against the counter:
for ($a=1; $a<6; $a++){
if ($a===$b){
echo ("b is caught!");
break;
}
}

I am trying to get a number between 1 to 6 with more chances to be close to 1.
i have tried this:
<li>{{Faker\Factory::create()->biasedNumberBetween($min = 10, $max = 20, $function = 'unbiased')}}</li>
What i am trying to do is to generate a number from 1 to 6 rand(1,6); but make the numbers be closer to one as the lower numbers will have more weight than the others.
Something like this ?
<?php
function weightedRand($min, $max, $weightedMax) {
$arr = array();
for($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++) {
$arr[] = rand($min, $weightedMax);
}
$arr[] = rand($min, $max);
return $arr[rand(0,10)];
}
echo weightedRand(1,6, 3);
?>
numbers below 4 will now be more likely than numbers above :)

Im trying to display 2 or more unique random results from a text file, How do I do that please?
But I need unique results and not 2 or more of the same.
Currently using this code, but it only returns 1 random result:
<?php
$text = file_get_contents('flatFileDB.txt');
$textArray = explode("\n", $text);
$randArrayIndexNum = array_rand($textArray);
$randPhrase = $textArray[$randArrayIndexNum];
?>
<?php echo $randPhrase ?>
I would use something like that
shuffle($textArray);
echo $textArray[0];
echo $textArray[1];
http://php.net/manual/tr/function.shuffle.php
You can give a shot to this also. Code is not tested. I am collecting the used into an array, and check, is that used before.
$text = file_get_contents('flatFileDB.txt');
$textArray = explode("\n", $text);
$used = array();
$countOfRandoms = 2;
$randoms = array();
$i = 1;
do {
if ($countOfRandoms == $i) {
break;
}
$randArrayIndexNum = array_rand($textArray);
if (in_array($randArrayIndexNum, $used)) {
continue;
}
$used[] = $randArrayIndexNum;
$random = $textArray[$randArrayIndexNum];
$i++;
} while (true);
