PHP push array into existing array - php

Question

I have a php file I am using to create a JSON output. You can see my loop in the code below:
foreach($objQueueData->event as $event){
$output[] = array(
"eventID" => (int)$event->trainingEventID,
"eventTitle" => (string)$event->teTitle,
"eventDescription" => (string)$event->teDesc,
"eventSource" => (string)$event->teSource,
"eventType" => (string)$event->teType,
"eventMedium" => (string)$event->teMedium,
"eventRequestor" => (string)$event->creatorFirst . ' ' . $event->creatorLast,
"eventRequestorNTID" => (string)$event->creatorNTID,
"eventRequestDate" => (string)$event->teCreated,
"eventDirector" => (string)$event->teDirector,
"eventTeammateImpact" => (string)$event->teTeammateImpact,
"eventCustomerImpact" => (string)$event->teCustomerImpact,
"eventComplexity" => (string)$event->teComplexity,
"eventInitiativeID" => (int)$event->intID,
"eventNeededBy" => (string)$event->teNeededBy
);
$impactedRegions = array();
if(isset($event->regionalImpact->option)){
foreach ($event->regionalImpact->option as $region) {
$impactedRegions[] = $region->impact;
}
array_push($output, $impactedRegions);
}
}
// Set the content type to JSON for jquery to understand
header('Content-Type: text/json');
// Print the response to the page
print json_encode($output);
My issue is with the second array impactedRegions. This should be a sub array of output but it is not working as intended.
I am trying to have it be apart of the output array.
Here is what the current JSON output looks like:
[
{
"eventID": 25,
"eventTitle": "Monday",
"eventDescription": "Testing Monday",
"eventSource": "OE",
"eventType": "New Hire",
"eventMedium": "ILT",
"eventRequestor": "Carl",
"eventRequestorNTID": "ch123",
"eventRequestDate": "Nov 17 2014 4:58PM",
"eventDirector": "",
"eventTeammateImpact": "Medium",
"eventCustomerImpact": "High",
"eventComplexity": "Low",
"eventInitiativeID": 1069,
"eventNeededBy": "2014-11-18"
},
[
{
"0": "Americas"
}
],
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Answer 1

foreach ($event->regionalImpact->option as $region) {
$output['regions'][] = $region->impact;
}

Try this
foreach($objQueueData->event as $key => $event){
$output[$key] = array(
"eventID" => (int)$event->trainingEventID,
"eventTitle" => (string)$event->teTitle,
"eventDescription" => (string)$event->teDesc,
"eventSource" => (string)$event->teSource,
"eventType" => (string)$event->teType,
"eventMedium" => (string)$event->teMedium,
"eventRequestor" => (string)$event->creatorFirst . ' ' . $event->creatorLast,
"eventRequestorNTID" => (string)$event->creatorNTID,
"eventRequestDate" => (string)$event->teCreated,
"eventDirector" => (string)$event->teDirector,
"eventTeammateImpact" => (string)$event->teTeammateImpact,
"eventCustomerImpact" => (string)$event->teCustomerImpact,
"eventComplexity" => (string)$event->teComplexity,
"eventInitiativeID" => (int)$event->intID,
"eventNeededBy" => (string)$event->teNeededBy
);
$impactedRegions = array();
if(isset($event->regionalImpact->option)){
foreach ($event->regionalImpact->option as $region) {
$impactedRegions[] = $region->impact;
}
}
$output[$key]['impactedRegions'] = $impactedRegions;
}
// Set the content type to JSON for jquery to understand
header('Content-Type: text/json');
// Print the response to the page
print json_encode($output);

I think the problem you are having is you are using array_push() with an associative array. I believe array_push is for pushing values to an indexed array.
Trying specifying the key by using $output['impactedRegions'] = $impactedRegions; instead.
$impactedRegions = array();
if(isset($event->regionalImpact->option)){
foreach ($event->regionalImpact->option as $region) {
$impactedRegions[] = $region->impact;
}
$output['impactedRegions'] = json_encode($impactedRegions);
}
Also, json_encode($impactedRegions) will encode the array so it's included as a json object in your original array.
