adding array in PHP - php

Question

First, im new in PHP so please bear with me.
I just want to add an array with the foreach loop but I can't.
if($size > 0)
{
$resultArray = array();
foreach($result as $hospital)
{
if($hospital)
{
$temp = array('result' => 'true',
'total' => $size,
'id' => $hospital['id'],
'name' => $hospital['name'],
'address' => $hospital['address'],
'telp' => $hospital['telp']);
$resultArray = array_merge_recursive($resultArray, $temp);
//$resultArray = array_splice($resultArray, $i, 0, $temp);
}
}
$this->response($resultArray, 200);
}
I tried to create a $temp array and merge it to the final result, and finally print that final result ($resultArray) to the response.
The array is successfully merged, but not in the way i want. This is the JSON result :
{"result":["true","true"],"total":[2,2],"id":["1","2"],"name":["test","keyword"],"address":["alamat test","alamat keyword"],"telp":["123456","789"]}
What i want is something like this :
-0 :{
result: "true"
total: 2
id: "1"
name: "test"
address: "alamat test"
telp: "123456"
}
-1 :{
result: "true"
total: 2
id: "2"
name: "test2"
address: "alamat tes 2t"
telp: "789"
}
So the response should be an array with 2 items, and each items has some items.
Please kindly help me, Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

It looks to me like you're trying to append an array, to an array, which can be done quite easily:
$resultArray = array();//outside the loop
//loop
$resultArray[] = array(
'result' => 'true',
'total' => $size,
'id' => $hospital['id'],
'name' => $hospital['name'],
'address' => $hospital['address'],
'telp' => $hospital['telp']
);
Job done. You could also use the array_push function, but that's a function. Functions equal overhead, and should, therefore be avoided (if it doesn't affect code readability). You use array_merge and array_merge_recursive if you want to combine arrays:
$foo = array(
array('bar' => 'zar')
);
$bar = array(
array('car' => 'far')
);
var_dump(
array_merge(
$foo,
$bar
)
);
The effect of array_merge here is comparable to:
foreach ($bar as $subArray)
$foo[] = $subArray;

Im not totally sure how you want your final array to be, but this will put it like $resultArray[0] = array( //temparray ) etc..:
if($size > 0){
$resultArray = array();
$i=0;
foreach($result as $hospital){
if($hospital){
$temp = array('result' => 'true',
'total' => $size,
'id' => $hospital['id'],
'name' => $hospital['name'],
'address' => $hospital['address'],
'telp' => $hospital['telp']);
$resultArray[$i][$temp];
$i++;
}
}
$this->response($resultArray, 200);
}

Replace this -
$resultArray = array_merge_recursive($resultArray, $temp);
With this -
$resultArray[] = $temp;
