Unable to iterate on the content of an array - php

I have an array which contents data that I can see on doing a var_dump() but I am unable to iterate through its content using foreach()
The var_dump() generates the following output
array(4) { [0]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(5) "Admin" } [1]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(4) "rick" } [2]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(6) "techbr" } [3]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(7) "testdom" } }
I want to be able to get the content of this array and store it in another.
Currently I am using the following code
$empList = array();
$empList = emp_list($mysqli);
var_dump($empList);//This generated the above output
foreach ($empList as $value)
{
echo $value."<br>";
}
Output of the echo is this
Array
Array
Array
Array
How do I sort this out?
Thank you for your suggestions I have modified the code this way
$i=0;
$empList = array();
$tempList = array();
$tempList = emp_list($mysqli);
foreach ($tempList as $value)
{
$empList[$i] = $value[0];
$i++;
}
Now the $empList array stores stuff in the correct format

It has an array inside another array so, use two foreach loops
$empList = array();
$empList = emp_list($mysqli);
foreach ($empList as $value)
{
foreach ($value as $temp)
{
echo $temp."<br>";
}
}

As u_mulder says in the comments on your question, your array isn't an array of strings - it's an array of more arrays. var_dump() is designed to deal with complicated nested contents, but echo can't print arrays - that's why it's just telling you that each item in $empList is an array, and not what its contents are.
If you wanted to get the content out of a specific array in $empList you'd need to access it by its index key, with something like:
$first = $empList[0];
foreach ($first as $value) {
echo $value."<br>";
}
Or if you wanted to iterate through them all you could just put two foreach loops one inside the other.

PHP Change multidimensional array structure

Hello I've multidimensional array that looks like that:
array(13890) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["Icd"]=>
array(2) {
["id"]=>
int(111)
["nazwa"]=>
string(6) "DŻUMA"
}
["ProjectIcd"]=>
array(0) {
}
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["Icd"]=>
array(2) {
["id"]=>
int(566)
["nazwa"]=>
string(7) "ŚWINKA"
}
["ProjectIcd"]=>
array(0) {
}
}
An so on.
I want to change it so it looks something like that:
array(13890) {
[0]=> array(2) {
["id"]=>
int(111)
["text"]=>
string(6) "DŻUMA"
}
How is this possible to do?
I want to add, I want to convert the array to json and feed it to select2 js in ajax.
Will that be a problem or not?
Short solution using array_map function:
// $arr is your initial array
$new_arr = array_map(function($a){
return ['id' => $a['Icd']['id'], 'text' => $a['Icd']['nazwa']];
}, $arr);
So you can simple create a new array and add there the values, which you want based on the old array. Then you convert the array to a json string with the php function json_encode():
$array = array("text"=>$old_array[0]["Icd"]["nazwa"]);
echo json_encode($array);
I hope this is something that you want.
$res = [];
$i = 0;
foreach($array as $arr) {
//get keys
if (count($arr) > 0) {
$keys = array_keys($arr);
// loop through the keys and fetch data of those keys
// put in array
foreach($keys as $key) {
if ($arr[$key]) {
$res[$i]['id'] = $arr[$key]['id'];
$res[$i]['text'] = $arr[$key]['nazwa'];
}
$i++;
}
}
}
print_r($res);
// To change array to json
echo json_encode($res);

Create a n.2 PHP array from JSON output

I'm using
$data=json_decode($response,true)
the output is
array(3)
{
["instrument"]=> string(7) "EUR_USD" ["granularity"]=> string(1) "D" ["candles"]=> array(10)
{
[0]=> array(7)
{
["time"]=> string(27) "2016-09-26T21:00:00.000000Z" ["openMid"]=> float(1.125495) ["highMid"]=> float(1.1259) ["lowMid"]=> float(1.119125) ["closeMid"]=> float(1.121605) ["volume"]=> int(17059) ["complete"]=> bool(true)
}
[1]=> array(7)
{
["time"]=> string(27) "2016-09-27T21:00:00.000000Z" ["openMid"]=> float(1.1218) ["highMid"]=> float(1.12369) ["lowMid"]=> float(1.118215) ["closeMid"]=> float(1.12171) ["volume"]=> int(17915) ["complete"]=> bool(true)
}
}
}
I want to create two arrays with the values openMid and closeMid for example:
$open=array(1.125495,1.1218)
$close=array(1.121655,1.12171)
I have to develop the foreach code in order to achieve that.
Anyone can help me? Thanks
Check out the solution below:
$open= []; //Declare empty array to hold openMid values
$close= []; //Declare empty array to hold closeMid values
#Loop through $array
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
#If any of the value is an array
if (is_array($value)) {
$arr= $value; //Store the array
}
}
//Loop through the second array
foreach ($arr as $val) {
//If the value is of index openMid
if ($val->openMid) {
$open[]= $val->openMid; //Push into the $open array holder
}
//If the value is of index closeMid
if ($val->closeMid) {
$close[]= $val->closeMid; //Push into the $close array holder
}
}

Changes to array of JSON objects based on other array

I have an array of JSON objects that look like this:
{"id":1,"place":2,"pic_name":"aaa.jpg"}
My PHP file receives a simple array like:
["4","3","1","2","5"]
These numbers correspond to the place value in my JSON object. Now I need to compare the place of each element in the secont array with the value of ID in the JSON object and if the match I have to replace the value of PLACE with the element from the array.
I am having problems doing the comparison. Any guidelines? What I come up with:
foreach($ids as $index=>$id) { //the array
$id = (int) $id;
foreach ($obj as $key=>$value) { //the JSON objects
foreach ($value as $k=>$v){
if ($id != '' && array_search($index, array_keys($ids)) == $value[$k]['id']) {
$value[$k]['place'] = $id;
file_put_contents($file, json_encode($ids));
} else { print "nope";}
} } }
That will be:
$array = [
'{"id":1,"place":2,"pic_name":"aaa.jpg"}',
'{"id":2,"place":5,"pic_name":"aab.jpg"}',
'{"id":3,"place":1,"pic_name":"aba.jpg"}',
'{"id":4,"place":3,"pic_name":"baa.jpg"}',
'{"id":5,"place":4,"pic_name":"abb.jpg"}'
];
$places = ["4","3","1","2","5"];
$array = array_map(function($item)
{
return json_decode($item, 1);
}, $array);
foreach($array as $i=>$jsonData)
{
if(false!==($place=array_search($jsonData['id'], $places)))
{
$array[$i]['place'] = $place+1;
}
}
$array = array_map('json_encode', $array);
//var_dump($array);
-with output like:
array(5) {
[0]=>
string(39) "{"id":1,"place":3,"pic_name":"aaa.jpg"}"
[1]=>
string(39) "{"id":2,"place":4,"pic_name":"aab.jpg"}"
[2]=>
string(39) "{"id":3,"place":2,"pic_name":"aba.jpg"}"
[3]=>
string(39) "{"id":4,"place":1,"pic_name":"baa.jpg"}"
[4]=>
string(39) "{"id":5,"place":5,"pic_name":"abb.jpg"}"
}

Read key of array two dimension

I try to read some keys of an array like
array(3) {
["poste5:"]=> array(3) { [0]=> string(7) "APPLE:" [1]=> string(5)
"demo1" [2]=> string(5) "demo2" }
["services:"]=> array(4) { [0]=> string(9) "orange" [1]=>
string(5) "demo3" [2]=> string(5) "demo4" [3]=> string(5) "demo1" }
["essai:"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(6) "sd" } }
I try to read this name : poste5 , services , essai
If i use :
foreach ($this->aliasRead as $key => $value){
echo array_keys($this->aliasRead[$key]);
}
I have : Array()
But if i use :
foreach (array_keys($this->aliasRead) as $key => $value2) {
echo $value2;
}
I have poste5 , services , essai
I try to use with this loop foreach ($this->aliasRead as $key => $value){
because i have another traitment after.
How to collect this key of my first loop in this loop foreach ($this->aliasRead as $key => $value){ ?
You already have what you want here:
foreach ($this->aliasRead as $key => $value){
echo $key; // key of the value in the array
print_r($value); // value of $this->aliasRead[$key] which in turn is another array
}
Edit: The reason your second loop works is because of this: array_keys($this->aliasRead[$key]) returns a new array containing the keys of the old array as its values. So $myNewArray = array_keys($this->aliasRead[$key]) is the same as $myNewArray = array('poste5','services','essai'). So, when you loop over this new array like this:
foreach ($myNewArray as $key => $value2) {
echo $value2;
}
$value2 contains your values, which are the keys of your first array, and $key will be 0, 1 and 2 after each step through the loop.
Try this,
$keys = array_keys($this->aliasRead);
print_r($keys);
Or
$keys = array();
foreach ($this->aliasRead as $key => $value){
$keys[] = $key;
}
It's because you're trying to echo an array. This will always give you the string "Array". If you want to see the array's contents, try
var_dump(array_keys($this->aliasRead[$key]));
By the way, in the foreach statement you posted, $this->aliasRead[$key] will be the equal to $value. So this will work as well:
var_dump(array_keys($value));

PHP multidimensional array - foreach loop

I have a problem getting array values "lat" and "long" without going deeper by foreach function. Array:
array(1) {
["Berlin, Germany(All airports)"]=>
array(1) {
["Berlin Brandenburg Willy Brandt(BER)"]=>
array(2) {
["lat"]=>
string(9) "52.366667"
["lon"]=>
string(9) "13.503333"
}
}
}
Function:
foreach($results as $key => $val){
//here i want to reach lat and long without additional foreach loop
}
Thank you all for answers.
foreach($results as $key => $val){
$temp = current($val); # fetch first value, which is array in your example
echo $temp['lat'];
}
