I am writing a script that collects all the meta data records and generates an array of all the posts and their respective meta data.
Everything seems to work fine except for when I go to push the meta data into the array. Below is the code that I am using and an example of the output that I get. What it is
if (mysql_num_rows($currentCourtMetaGet) != null) {
$metaArray = array();
while($currentCourseMetaArray = mysql_fetch_array($currentCourseMetaGet)){
$metaKey = $currentCourseMetaArray['meta_key'];
$metaValue = $currentCourseMetaArray['meta_value'];
$metaInfo = "$metaKey => $metaValue";
array_push($metaArray, $metaInfo);
}
$currentcourse = array(
"course_name" => $queryOneResultsArray['post_title'],
"course_id" => $queryOneResultsArray['id'],
"course_meta" => $metaArray
);
array_push($courseArray, $currentcourse);
}
Meta Array output:
[course_meta] => Array
(
[0] => licence_code =>
[1] => is_vocable => 0
[2] => region => Gladstone
)
My desired output is this.
[course_meta] => Array
(
licence_code =>
is_vocable => 0
region => Gladstone
)
Can anyone suggest a solution?
You can try this:
if (mysql_num_rows($currentCourtMetaGet) != null) {
$metaArray = array();
while($currentCourseMetaArray = mysql_fetch_array($currentCourseMetaGet)){
$metaKey = $currentCourseMetaArray['meta_key'];
$metaValue = $currentCourseMetaArray['meta_value'];
$metaArray[$metaKey] = $metaValue;
}
$currentcourse = array(
"course_name" => $queryOneResultsArray['post_title'],
"course_id" => $queryOneResultsArray['id'],
"course_meta" => $metaArray
);
array_push($courseArray, $currentcourse);
}
It will output:
[course_meta] => Array
(
[licence_code] =>
[is_vocable] => 0
[region] => Gladstone
)
Arrays are "dumped" in format [key] => value. Unless you output them manualy, the exact format you are trying to achieve is not possible.
Have you tried doing it like this ?
$metaArray[$metakey] = $metaInfo;
There isn't a way to add values with key using associative arrays, what you've created with
$metaInfo = "$metaKey => $metaValue";
is a string variable, which has no key

I am trying to add my data to my array inside my foreach loop.
I have almost done it successfully, except the array is too in-depth.
It's showing array->array->{WHAT I WANT}
When I need array->{WHAT I WANT}
Example, I'm needing it to be like:
Array
(
[home] => Array
(
[0] => Dashboard\Main#index
[1] => GET
)
[home/] => Array
(
[0] => Dashboard\Main#index
[1] => GET
)
)
When at the moment, it's showing:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[services/content-writing] => Array
(
[0] => Dashboard\Services#contentwriting
[1] => GET
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[services/pbn-links] => Array
(
[0] => Dashboard\Services#pbnlinks
[1] => GET
)
)
)
The code I'm currently using inside my foreach loop is:
$realArray = array();
// Services exist
if($services)
{
// Sort them into our array
foreach ($services as $service) {
$servicePageName = $service->page_name;
$serviceName = str_replace(' ', '', strtolower($service->name));
$realArrayNew = array(
"services/$servicePageName" => ["Dashboard\Services#$serviceName", 'GET']
);
array_push($realArray, $realArrayNew);
//'home' => ['Dashboard\Main#index', 'GET'],
}
}
return $realArray;
The servicePageName variable must be the key field on the realArray to get the results you want.
I'm presuming you input object array looks something like this:
[
(int) 0 => object(stdClass) {
name => 'contentwriting'
page_name => 'content-writing'
},
(int) 1 => object(stdClass) {
name => 'pbnlinks'
page_name => 'pbn-links'
}
]
If we do this:
$realArray = [];
if ($services) {
foreach ($services as $service) {
$servicePageName = $service->page_name;
$serviceName = str_replace(' ', '', strtolower($service->name));
$realArray["services/$servicePageName"] = [
0 => "Dashboard\Services#$serviceName",
1 => "GET"
];
}
}
This is what we get on realArray:
[
'services/content-writing' => [
(int) 0 => 'Dashboard\Services#contentwriting',
(int) 1 => 'GET'
],
'services/pbn-links' => [
(int) 0 => 'Dashboard\Services#pbnlinks',
(int) 1 => 'GET'
]
]
This portion of the code inserts a new subarray to your main array:
$realArrayNew = array(
"services/$servicePageName" => ["Dashboard\Services#$serviceName", 'GET']
);
array_push($realArray, $realArrayNew);
Replace it all with:
$realArray["services/$servicePageName"] = ["Dashboard\Services#$serviceName", 'GET'];
That way your top level will have service names as keys.
I am using an API and am using a few foreach loops to get to the stage that I am at right now. Please see code below with my comments and also the results that I am getting below that.
// get recent_games api data
$recent_games_data = $player->recent_games();
//start arrays for below
$matches = array();
$gameType = array();
$myData = array();
// using foreach loops to dig in to api data
foreach($recent_games_data['gameStatistics']['array'] as $key_match_data => $value_match_data) {
$matches[] = $value_match_data['statistics'];
}
foreach($matches as $key_match) {
$gameType[] = $key_match['array'];
}
foreach ($gameType as $keyz) {
$myData[] = $keyz;
}
The $mydata array outputs this data below.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[statType] => TRUE_DAMAGE_DEALT_TO_CHARACTER
[dataVersion] => 0
[value] => 3351
[futureData] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[statType] => ASSISTS
[dataVersion] => 0
[value] => 14
[futureData] =>
)
[2] => Array
(
[statType] => NUM_DEATHS
[dataVersion] => 0
[value] => 3
[futureData] =>
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[statType] => TRUE_DAMAGE_DEALT_TO_CHARACTER
[dataVersion] => 0
[value] => 331
[futureData] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[statType] => ASSISTS
[dataVersion] => 0
[value] => 4
[futureData] =>
)
[2] => Array
(
[statType] => NUM_DEATHS
[dataVersion] => 0
[value] => 7
[futureData] =>
)
)
Of course there is much more data but this is basically what I have now. The first array [0] is each match and the second array are the statistics for that match. What I want is how do I get the statistics of each match without hardcoding the match array number, for example below.
$myData[0][0]['statType']
Let me know if you need more info and thank you.
EDIT: sorry for to mention that as new statistics data gets added to the api, the index number changes. IE TRUE_DAMAGE_DEALT_TO_CHARACTER is [0] to begin with but then may change to [1] or [2] etc.
Consider implementing a class for your stats items after parsing through the data (independent of individual match information keys):
class Stat_Item {
function __construct($id, $info) {
$this->id = $id;
if(!empty($info['damage'])
$this->damage_dealt = $info['damage'];
if(!empty($info['assists']))
$this->assists = $info['assists'];
if(!empty($info['deaths']))
$this->deaths = $info['deaths'];
}
}
$parsed_items = array();
foreach($mydata as $match_id => $match) {
$info = array();
foreach($match as $data_point) {
switch($data_point['statType']) {
case TRUE_DAMAGE_DEALT_TO_CHARACTER:
$info['damage'] = $data_point['value'];
break;
case ASSISTS:
$info['assists'] = $data_point['value'];
break;
case NUM_DEATHS:
$info['deaths'] = $data_point['value'];
break;
}
$parsed_items[] = new Stat_Item($match, $info);
}
}
Other than looping through them all, I don't see any way for you to get a particular match without calling it by its index.
You don't need several foreach loops - you can add to all three arrays in a single one. Also, it looks like $gameType and $myData end up containing the same data.
foreach($recent_games_data['gameStatistics']['array'] as $key_match_data => $value_match_data) {
$matches[] = $value_match_data['statistics'];
$gameType[] = $value_match_data['statistics']['array'];
$myData[] = $value_match_data['statistics']['array'];
}
I don't really understand why you don't just put it into the same array so you can access it easily, though:
foreach($recent_games_data['gameStatistics']['array'] as $key_match_data => $value_match_data) {
$matches[] = array('statistics' => $value_match_data['statistics'], 'data' => $value_match_data['statistics']['array']);
}
I have a function that returns database results like so:
<?php print_r($homepagematches; ?>
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[matchid] => 30
[matchtitle] => Testing This!
[matchaverage] => 1
[matchyoutubecode] => New Match
[casterid] => 1
[matchtype] =>
[matchdate] => 2013-05-24 02:19:49
[matchcasteryoutube] => http://youtube.com/huskystarcraft
[matchcaster] => HuskyStarcraft
)
[1] => Array
(
[matchid] => 27
[matchtitle] => Psy vs Camara
[matchaverage] => 1
[matchyoutubecode] => nefC9vkMfG8
[casterid] => 1
[matchtype] =>
[matchdate] => 2013-05-24 02:13:10
[matchcasteryoutube] => http://youtube.com/huskystarcraft
[matchcaster] => HuskyStarcraft
)
The function returns all matches within the last 3 days, What I am trying to figure out is how to reform the array so that I can display the matches under the day in which they were posted. I know a foreach loop is probably required for this, I just can't get my head around the concept I would need to implement.
$matchdate = '';
foreach($this->data['homepagematches'] as $match){
if($matchdate != date('m/d', strtotime($match['matchdate'])) || $matchdate == ''){
$homematch[date('m/d', strtotime($match['matchdate']))] = array(
"matchtitle" => $match['matchtitle']);
}
Basically I need the Array to look like:
Array
(
[05/24] => Array
(
[matchid] =>30
[matchtitle] => Testing This!
[matchyoutubecode] => New Match
[casterid] = 1
)
)
I think this should do it.
foreach($this->data['homepagematches'] as $match){
$tag = date('m/d', strtotime($match['matchdate']));
$data[$tag][] = array(
"matchid" => $match['matchid'],
"matchtitle" => $match['matchtitle'],
"matchyoutubecode" => $match['matchyoutubecode'],
"casterid" => $match['casterid']
);
}
print_r($data);
<?php
$MatchesByDate = array();
foreach($homepagematches as $match) {
list($matchdate,$time) = explode(" ",$match["matchdate"]); //split field into date and time
if( !isset($MatchesByDate[$matchdate]) )
$MatchesByDate[$matchdate] = array(); // If the array for that date doesnt exist yet make it
$MatchesByDate[$matchdate][] = $match; //Use the matchdate as a key and add to the array
}
I have a multidimensional array.
$shop = array(
array("appn1", "pub1" ,"pub2" , "pub3"),
array("appn2", "pub1"),
array("appn3", "pub1" ,"pub2")
);
The first item in each array is application number and the rest in each array are the publication numbers. I get the first item(application number) and the last item of each array(latest publication number) like this
$index = count(array_keys($shop));
for($i=0;$i<$index;$i++){
$appln_nr = $shop[$i][0];
echo $appln_nr;
$publn_nr_index = count(array_keys($shop[$i]))-1;
$publn_nr = $shop[$i][$publn_nr_index];
echo $publn_nr;
}
Now I have application number and publication number for each inner array.
I want to create an associative array from the application numbers and publication numbers.
where the key should be the application number and its value is the publication number.
Thanks
EDIT
What I am getting from $shop array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => appn1
[1] => pub1
[2] => pub2
[3] => pub3
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => appn2
[1] => pub1
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => appn3
[1] => pub1
[2] => pub2
)
)
And this is what I need in my associative array
Array(
"appn1" => "pub3"
"appn2" => "pub1"
"appn3" => "pub2"
)
Finally i understood what you wanted, after your edit XD:
$shop = array(
array("appn1", "pub1" ,"pub2" , "pub3"),
array("appn2", "pub1"),
array("appn3", "pub1" ,"pub2")
);
$shopNew = array();
foreach($shop as $value){
$shopNew[$value[0]] = end($value);
}
// now if you want you can replace $shop and unset $shopNew
$shop = $shopNew;
unset($shopNew);
print_r($shop);
the output is this:
Array (
[appn1] => pub3
[appn2] => pub1
[appn3] => pub2
)
You can try
$shop = array(
array("appn1","pub1","pub2","pub3"),
array("appn2","pub1"),
array("appn3","pub1","pub2")
);
$final = array();
array_map(function ($var) use(&$final) {$final[reset($var)] = end($var);}, $shop);
var_dump($final);
Output
array
'appn1' => string 'pub3' (length=4)
'appn2' => string 'pub1' (length=4)
'appn3' => string 'pub2' (length=4)
You can easily convert your array into a new format by using the first element as key (see reset) and the last element (see end) as value:
foreach($shop as $fl) {
$v[reset($fl)] = end($fl);
}
Result is in $v then.
If you want to transform the array you need to delete each element as well:
foreach($shop as $v => $fl) {
$shop[reset($fl)] = end($fl);
unset($shop[$v]);
}
Result is in $shop then. Unset takes care of removing from the array.
Output in both cases is:
array(3) {
'appn1' =>
string(4) "pub3"
'appn2' =>
string(4) "pub1"
'appn3' =>
string(4) "pub2"
}
try this:
foreach($shop as $k => $v) {
$new_arr[$v[0]] = end($v);
}
It should give you this result,
$new_arr = array(
"appn1" => "pub3",
"appn2" => "pub1",
"appn3" => "pub2"-
);
You can also create like this,
$arrField = [];
$arrField['id'] = '0001';
$arrField["first_name"] ='Demo Test';
print_r($arrField);
print_r($arrField) display output like this.
Array ( [id] => 0001 [first_name] => Demo Test )
I've got an multi-array (currently with objects) that I want to reorder based on a specific key/value.
Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[task_id] => 1
[task_title] => Title
[users_username] => John
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[task_id] => 2
[task_title] => Title
[users_username] => John
)
[2] => stdClass Object
(
[task_id] => 3
[task_title] => Title
[users_username] => Mike
)
)
I'd like to reorder it to get multi-arrays by user_name, so I can cycle through the task by username.
Array
(
[John] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[task_id] => 1
[title] => Title
)
[1] => Array
(
[task_id] => 2
[title] => Title
)
)
[Mike] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[task_id] => 3
[title] => Title
)
)
)
Is it possible to recreate my array to an array like that above?
Updated version of the code
<?php
$it0 = (object) array('task_id' => 1,'task_title' => 'Title','users_username' => 'John');
$it1 = (object) array('task_id' => 2,'task_title' => 'Title','users_username' => 'John');
$it2 = (object) array('task_id' => 3,'task_title' => 'Title','users_username' => 'Mike');
$array = array($it0,$it1,$it2);
$return = array();
foreach($array as $id => $value){
$return[$value->users_username][] = array('task_id' => $value->task_id,'title' => $value->task_title);
}
var_dump($return);
Yes, it is possible.
You'll have to loop through your current array and create a new array to do it.
example:
$new_array = array();
foreach ($array as $row)
{
$new_row = array(
'task_id' => $row->task_id,
'title' => $row->task_title,
);
$name = $row->users_username;
if (isset($new_array[$name]))
{
$new_array[$name][] = $new_row;
}
else
{
$new_array[$name] = array($new_row);
}
}
Now $new_array contains the new array exactly like the one you're asking for.
Then you can sort it with
ksort($new_array);
There may be another way to do this, with some built-in function, but sometimes I'd rather just do it myself, and know how it is working, without having to look up the documentation.
The approach:
Iterate through all of the first array, looking at [users_username] and putting them into a new array.
Code:
$dst_array = array();
foreach ($src_array as $val)
{
$user = $val->users_username;
// TODO: This check may be unnecessary. Have to test to find out.
// If this username doesn't already have an array in the destination...
if (!array_key_exists($user, $dst_array))
$dst_array[$user] = array(); // Create a new array for that username
// Now add a new task_id and title entry in that username's array
$dst_array[$user][] = array(
'task_id' => $val->task_id
'title' => $val->title
);
}
Just something like this (maybe not 100% PHP code):
foreach ( $obj : $oldArray ) {
$newTask['task_id'] = $obj->task_id;
$newTask['title'] = $obj->title;
$newArray[$oldName][] = $newTask;
}
If you want to order it; you can just call a order function afterwards.
