Display array values in table format in Laravel 5.1 - php

Question

I have an array like so:
array:55 [▼
0 => array:13 [▼
"product_id" => "1"
"name" => "Glowing Antique Multi-Color Necklace And Hangings"
"product_code" => "DIV-COL-0001-0001"
"option_code" => ""
"net_price" => "693.00"
"sellerCommission" => "450.00"
"moderatorCommission" => "14.00"
"principalModeratorCommission" => "17.00"
"affiliateCommission" => "28.00"
"accountType" => "affiliate"
]
25 => array:13 [▼
"product_id" => "24"
"name" => "Blue Colored Cotton Zip Pouch (3 Nos.)"
"product_code" => "PRA-KEN-0002-0006"
"option_code" => ""
"net_price" => "184.62"
"sellerCommission" => "120.00"
"moderatorCommission" => "4.00"
"principalModeratorCommission" => "5.00"
"affiliateCommission" => "7.00"
"accountType" => "affiliate"
]
26 => array:13 [▼
"product_id" => "25"
"name" => "Side Hanging Purse (2 Nos.)"
"product_code" => "PRA-KEN-0002-0007"
"option_code" => ""
"net_price" => "184.62"
"sellerCommission" => "120.00"
"moderatorCommission" => "4.00"
"principalModeratorCommission" => "5.00"
"affiliateCommission" => "7.00"
"accountType" => "affiliate"
]
44 => array:13 [▼
"product_id" => "24"
"name" => "Blue Colored Cotton Zip Pouch (3 Nos.)"
"product_code" => "PRA-KEN-0002-0006"
"option_code" => ""
"net_price" => "184.62"
"sellerCommission" => "120.00"
"moderatorCommission" => "4.00"
"principalModeratorCommission" => "5.00"
"affiliateCommission" => "7.00"
"accountType" => "principal_moderator"
]
// And the list continues ...
]
The code that I have tried so far, works correctly to a certain extent.
<tr>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Id</th>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Details</th>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Net Price</th>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Invoicer<br /> Commission</th>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Moderator Commission</th>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Principal Moderator Commission</th>
<th style="vertical-align: top;">Affiliate Commission</th>
</tr>
#foreach($products as $product)
<tr>
<td>{{ $product['product_id'] }}</td>
<td>
<img src="{{ $product['image'] }}" alt="{{ $product['name'] }}" class="pull-left" style="margin-right: 15px">
{{ $product['name'] }}<br />
Product Code: {{ $product['product_code'] }}<br />
#if($product['option_code'] !== '')
Option Code: {{ $product['option_code'] }}
#endif
</td>
<td class="text-right">{{ $product['net_price'] }}</td>
#if($product['accountType'] === 'seller')
<td class="text-right">{{ number_format($product['sellerCommission'], 2) }}</td>
#else
<td class="text-right">--</td>
#endif
#if($product['accountType'] === 'moderator')
<td class="text-right">{{ number_format($product['moderatorCommission'], 2) }}</td>
#else
<td class="text-right">--</td>
#endif
#if($product['accountType'] === 'principal_moderator')
<td class="text-right">{{ number_format($product['principalModeratorCommission'], 2) }}</td>
#else
<td class="text-right">--</td>
#endif
#if($product['accountType'] === 'affiliate')
<td class="text-right">{{ number_format($product['affiliateCommission'], 2) }}</td>
#else
<td class="text-right">--</td>
#endif
</tr>
#endforeach
The above code works, but it adds a new row to the table which is what I am not looking for. I do not want to add a new row, instead I would like to display the required data in that row only.
Meaning, for the product_id = 24, (except for the option code), there are 2 accountType attached viz., affiliate and principal_moderator. I would like to populate a single row with that data instead of 2 different rows.
How do I achieve it ??
I know this must be far easy, but I have failed to solve it, because I am still at the learning stage.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
P.S.: All the values are coming from the database, and the number of child arrays can be infinite.

Answer 1

You should group rows and make accountType property an array. Basically create new array, loop through products and add them into new array if they are not already added and if they are then add accountType to it. Something like this:
$grouped = array();
foreach($products as $product) {
if(!array_key_exists($product['product_id'], $grouped)) {
$grouped[$product['product_id']] = $product;
$grouped[$product['product_id']]['accountTypes'] = array($product['accountType']);
}else {
$grouped[$product['product_id']]['accountTypes'][] = $product['accountType'];
}
}
Then you use grouped data to display data and on accountType check you check if that type exists in accountTypes property.
