So i have an array which is created like this via a loop
foreach ($items as $item)
{
$item_arr[$id]['count'] = $item->rowcount;
}
Now what i want to do is get the sum of the counts. I know i can just use $sum += $item->rowcount; but i was wondering if there was a more efficient way using something like this outside the loop when the foreach is done:
$sum = array_sum($item_arr[]['count']);
But that doesn't work says it doesn't like [], is there a way to do it or is the best way just to keep count in the foreach loop. Just would like to keep the code cleaner and more readable but maybe its a stupid question?
Where did $id come from?
the best would be $sum += $item->rowcount;
$sum = 0;
foreach ($items as $item) {
$sum += $item->rowcount;
}
echo $sum;
You can use array_reduce() like this
function sum($carry, $item){
return $carry + $item['count'];
}
array_reduce($item_arr, "sum");
A variation of a theme perhaps but like array_reduce you could alternatively use array_walk
$total=0;
$arr=array(
array('count'=>23),
array('count'=>54),
array('count'=>91),
array('count'=>86)
);
array_walk( $arr, function( &$i, $k, &$t ){
$t += $i['count'];
}, &$total );
echo 'total:'.$total;

How may i know that - In php how many times the foreach loop will get run, before that loop get executed..In other words i want to know the count of that particular loop. I want to apply some different css depends upon the count.
Use the function count to get the amount of numbers in your array.
Example:
$array = array('test1', 'test2');
echo count($array); // Echos '2'
Or if you want to be an engineer for-sorts you can set up something like so:
$array = array('test1', 'test2');
$count = 0;
foreach ($array as $a) { $count++; }
And that can count it for you, and the $count variable will hold the count, hope this helped you.
Simply count() the array and use the output as a condition, like:
if (count($array) > 100) {
// This is an array with more than 100 items, go for plan A
$class = 'large';
} else {
// This is an array with less than 100 items, go for plan B
$class = 'small';
}
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
echo sprintf('<div id="%s" class="%s">%s</div>', $key, $class, $value);
}
I want to multiply the values of 2 indexes in my foreach loop.
E.G.
foreach($items as $item)
{
$result=$item['foo']*$item['bar'];
}
Then I want to return the result of the sum of all the $result within the function. For example,there are 2 rows of results in the foreach loop, I want to sum them up and return $sum. Anybody knows how to do that?
$sum = 0;
foreach($items as $item)
{
$result=$item['foo']*$item['bar'];
$sum += $result;
}
return $sum;
Is this what you want. It will add all $result in $sum and return $sum if this code is in a function.
Have an array
array(array('a'=>'s','add'=>1),
array('a'=>'s1','add'=>2),
array('a'=>'s2','add'=>3)
...
...
);
I want to sum of all key add together.so result should be 6
Anyone know how to do this?
$sum = 0;
foreach($yourArray as $element) {
$sum += $element['add'];
}
echo $sum;
$sum = 0;
foreach($array1 as $array) {
$sum += $array['add'];
}
echo $sum; // will echo '6'
Unfortunately, array_sum only works on single-dimensional arrays. Since you're working with an array of associative arrays, you're going to have to approach it differently. If you know your array will have the same form as the one you've linked above, you can simply use something like this:
$total = 0;
foreach( $arrs as $arr )
{
$total += $arr['add'];
}
echo $total;
Where $arrs is the array you've defined above.
One liner echo array_sum(array_column($a, "add"));
I need to combine two foreach statement into one for example
foreach ($categories_stack as $category)
foreach ($page_name as $value)
I need to add these into the same foreach statement
Is this possible if so how?
(I am not sure I have understood your question completely. I am assuming that you want to iterate through the two lists in parallel)
You can do it using for loop as follows :
$n = min(count($category), count($value));
for($c = 0; $c < $n; $c = $c + 1){
$categories_stack = $category[$c];
$pagename = $value[$c];
...
}
To achieve the same with foreach you need a function similar to Python's zip() function.
In Python, it would be :
for categories_stack, pagename in zip(categories, values):
print categories_stack, pagename
Since PHP doesn't have a standard zip() function, you'll have to write such a function on your own or go with the for loop solution.
You can do nested foreachs if that's what you want. But without knowing more of your data, it's impossible to say if this helps:
foreach ($categories_stack as $category) {
foreach ($page_name as $value) {
}
}
Probably you want to print out all pages in a category? That probably won't work, so can you give a bit more info on how the arrays look like and relate to each other?
This loop will continue to the length of the longest array and return null for where there are no matching elements in either of the arrays. Try it out!
$a = array(1 => "a",25 => "b", 10 => "c",99=>"d");
$b = array(15=>1,5=>2,6=>3);
$ao = new ArrayObject($a);
$bo = new ArrayObject($b);
$ai = $ao->getIterator();
$bi = $bo->getIterator();
for (
$ai->rewind(),$bi->rewind(),$av = $ai->current(),$bv = $bi->current();
list($av,$bv) =
array(
($ai->valid() ? $ai->current() : null),
($bi->valid() ? $bi->current() : null)
),
($ai->valid() || $bi->valid());
($ai->valid() ? $ai->next() : null),($bi->valid() ? $bi->next() : null))
{
echo "\$av = $av\n";
echo "\$bv = $bv\n";
}
I cannot really tell from the question exactly how you want to traverse the two arrays. For a nested foreach you simply write
foreach ($myArray as $k => $v) {
foreach ($mySecondArray as $kb => $vb {
}
}
However you can do all sorts of things with some creative use of callback functions. In this case an anonymous function returning two items from each array on each iteration. It's then easy to use the iteration value as an array or split it into variables using list() as done below.
This also has the added benefit of working regardless of key structure. I's purely based on the ordering of array elements. Just use the appropriate sorting function if the elements are out of order.
It does not worry about the length of the arrays as there is no error reported, so make sure you keep an eye out for empty values.
$a = array("a","b","c");
$b = array(1,2,3);
foreach (
array_map(
create_function(
'$a,$b', 'return array($a,$b);'
)
,$a,$b
)
as $value
)
{
list($a,$b) = $value;
echo "\$a = $a\n";
echo "\$b = $b\n";
}
Output
$a = a
$b = 1
$a = b
$b = 2
$a = c
$b = 3
Here's another one for you that stops on either of the lists ending. Same as using min(count(a),count(b). Useful if you have arrays of same length. If someone can make it continue to the max(count(a),count(b)) let me know.
$ao = new ArrayObject($a);
$bo = new ArrayObject($b);
$ai = $ao->getIterator();
$bi = $bo->getIterator();
for (
$ai->rewind(),$bi->rewind();
$av = $ai->current(),$bv=$bi->current();
$ai->next(),$bi->next())
{
echo "\$av = $av\n";
echo "\$bv = $bv\n";
}
This is where the venerable for loop comes in handy:
for(
$i = 0,
$n = sizeof($categories_stack),
$m = sizeof($page_name);
$i < $n && $i < $m;
$i++
) {
$category = $categories_stack[$i];
$value = $page_name[$i];
// do stuff here ....
}
Surely you can just merge the arrays before looping?
$data = array_merge($categories_stack, $page_name);
foreach($data AS $item){
...
}
Do the array elements have a direct correspondence with one another, i.e. is there an element in $page_name for each element in $categories_stack? If so, just iterate over the keys and values (assuming they have the same keys):
foreach ($categories_stack as $key => $value)
{
$category = $value;
$page = $page_name[$key];
// ...
}
Could you just nest them with variables outside the scope of the foreach, or prehaps store the content as an array similar to a KVP setup? My answer is vague but I'm not really sure why you're trying to accomplish this.
Is it possible to find the foreach index?
in a for loop as follows:
for ($i = 0; $i < 10; ++$i) {
echo $i . ' ';
}
$i will give you the index.
Do I have to use the for loop or is there some way to get the index in the foreach loop?
foreach($array as $key=>$value) {
// do stuff
}
$key is the index of each $array element
You can put a hack in your foreach, such as a field incremented on each run-through, which is exactly what the for loop gives you in a numerically-indexed array. Such a field would be a pseudo-index that needs manual management (increments, etc).
A foreach will give you your index in the form of your $key value, so such a hack shouldn't be necessary.
e.g., in a foreach
$index = 0;
foreach($data as $key=>$val) {
// Use $key as an index, or...
// ... manage the index this way..
echo "Index is $index\n";
$index++;
}
It should be noted that you can call key() on any array to find the current key its on. As you can guess current() will return the current value and next() will move the array's pointer to the next element.
Owen has a good answer. If you want just the key, and you are working with an array this might also be useful.
foreach(array_keys($array) as $key) {
// do stuff
}
You can create $i outside the loop and do $i++ at the bottom of the loop.
These two loops are equivalent (bar the safety railings of course):
for ($i=0; $i<count($things); $i++) { ... }
foreach ($things as $i=>$thing) { ... }
eg
for ($i=0; $i<count($things); $i++) {
echo "Thing ".$i." is ".$things[$i];
}
foreach ($things as $i=>$thing) {
echo "Thing ".$i." is ".$thing;
}
I think best option is like same:
foreach ($lists as $key=>$value) {
echo $key+1;
}
it is easy and normally
PHP arrays have internal pointers, so try this:
foreach($array as $key => $value){
$index = current($array);
}
Works okay for me (only very preliminarily tested though).
I use ++$key instead of $key++ to start from 1. Normally it starts from 0.
#foreach ($quiz->questions as $key => $question)
<h2> Question: {{++$key}}</h2>
<p>{{$question->question}}</p>
#endforeach
Output:
Question: 1
......
Question:2
.....

Jonathan is correct. PHP arrays act as a map table mapping keys to values. in some cases you can get an index if your array is defined, such as
$var = array(2,5);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($var); $i++) {
echo $var[$i]."\n";
}
your output will be
2
5
in which case each element in the array has a knowable index, but if you then do something like the following
$var = array_push($var,10);
for ($i = 0; $i < count($var); $i++) {
echo $var[$i]."\n";
}
you get no output. This happens because arrays in PHP are not linear structures like they are in most languages. They are more like hash tables that may or may not have keys for all stored values. Hence foreach doesn't use indexes to crawl over them because they only have an index if the array is defined. If you need to have an index, make sure your arrays are fully defined before crawling over them, and use a for loop.
I solved this way, when I had to use the foreach index and value in the same context:
$array = array('a', 'b', 'c');
foreach ($array as $letter=>$index) {
echo $letter; //Here $letter content is the actual index
echo $array[$letter]; // echoes the array value
}//foreach
I normally do this when working with associative arrays:
foreach ($assoc_array as $key => $value) {
//do something
}
This will work fine with non-associative arrays too. $key will be the index value. If you prefer, you can do this too:
foreach ($array as $indx => $value) {
//do something
}
foreach(array_keys($array) as $key) {
// do stuff
}
I would like to add this, I used this in laravel to just index my table:
With $loop->index
I also preincrement it with ++$loop to start at 1
My Code:
#foreach($resultsPerCountry->first()->studies as $result)
<tr>
<td>{{ ++$loop->index}}</td>
</tr>
#endforeach
