how to make dynamic associative array in Yii? - php

Question

I am trying to make a dynamic associtive array but the thing is it just save the last key-value pair how can i store all the key-value pairs?
foreach ($_POST as $var => $value) {
// Does the model have this attribute? If not raise an error
if ($model->hasAttribute($var))
$model->$var = $value;
elseif ($profile->hasAttribute($var)) {
$storage = array($var => $value);//associative array
} else {
//var_dump ($var);
$this->_sendResponse(500, sprintf('Parameter <b>%s</b> is not allowed for model <b>%s</b>', $var, $_GET['model']));
}
}

Answer 1

You have only below error:
$storage = array($var => $value);//associative array
This line is creating a new array $storage every time, that's why you are getting only last key value pair.
Try this:
$storage = array();// initialize it as array
$storage[$var] = $value;// assign $value in $key index of $storage

Answer 2

In your code, you're always assigning the $storage to a new array instead of appending it.(Correct me if I'm wrong).
You should append the array this way.
<?php
foreach ($_POST as $var => $value) {
// Does the model have this attribute? If not raise an error
if ($model->hasAttribute($var))
$model->$var = $value;
else if ($profile->hasAttribute($var)) {
if (!is_array($storage))
$storage = [];
$storage[$var] = $value; //associative array
} else {
//var_dump ($var);
$this->_sendResponse(500, sprintf('Parameter <b>%s</b> is not allowed for model <b>%s</b>', $var, $_GET['model']));
}
}
