Codeigniter XML-RPC Response Multi Dimensional Array Approach - php

Question

I need to create an XML-RPC server that gets cities with their corresponding IDs. What I do as a response is looking weird to me because of unnecessary duplicate entries but I couldnt find a better way.
Array
(
[cityID] => Array
(
[0] => 34
[1] => 35
[2] => 06
)
[cityName] => Array
(
[0] => Istanbul
[1] => Izmir
[2] => Ankara
)
)
I implemented above response. With this implementation:
$response = array(
array(
'cityID' => array(array('34', '35', '06'), 'array'),
'cityName' => array(array('Istanbul', 'Izmir', 'Ankara'), 'array')
),
'struct'
);
The problem is I want to take a response like this :
Array
(
[cities] => Array
(
['34'] => 'Istanbul'
['35'] => 'Izmir'
['06'] => 'Ankara'
)
)
So I tried to implement it like this :
$response = array(
array(
'cities' => array(array('34'=>'Istanbul', '35'=>'Izmir', '06'=>'Ankara'), 'array')
),
'struct'
);
But it fails with this implementation. What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks

Answer 1

You have array like following
$response = array ( 'cityID' => array (
0 => 34,
1 => 35,
2 => 06
),
'cityName' => array(
0 => 'Istanbul',
1 => 'Izmir',
2 => 'Ankara'
)
);
$newarray = array();
foreach($response['cityID'] as $key => $cityid){
$newarray['cities'][$cityid] = $response['cityName'][$key];
}
print_r($newarray);
You will be getting the expected array.
Array
(
[cities] => Array
(
[34] => Istanbul
[35] => Izmir
[6] => Ankara
)
)

This is how I do it, in Code Igniter 3
$array = array ( 'cityID' => array (
0 => 34,
1 => 35,
2 => 06
),
'cityName' => array(
0 => 'Istanbul',
1 => 'Izmir',
2 => 'Ankara'
)
);
foreach($array['cityID'] as $key => $cityid){
$response[] = array(array(
$cityid => array($array['cityName'][$key],'string'),
),'struct');
}
return $this->xmlrpc->send_response(array($response,'array'));
