combine arrays and concat value? - php

Question

Little complex to explain , so here is simple concrete exemple :
array 1 :
Array
(
[4] => bim
[5] => pow
[6] => foo
)
array 2 :
Array
(
[n] => Array
(
[0] => 1
)
[m] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
)
[l] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 4
[2] => 64
)
And i need to output an array 3 ,
array expected :
Array
(
[bim] => n-1
[pow] => Array
(
[0] => m-1
[1] => m-2
)
[foo] => Array
(
[0] => l-1
[1] => l-4
[2] => l-64
)
Final echoing OUTPUT expected:
bim n-1 , pow m-1 m-2 ,foo l-1 l-4 l-64 ,
I tried this but seems pity:
foreach($array2 as $k1 =>$v1){
foreach($array2[$k1] as $k => $v){
$k[] = $k1.'_'.$v);
}
foreach($array1 as $res =>$val){
$val = $array2;
}
Thanks for helps,
Jess

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED
<?php
$a = array(
4 => 'bim',
5 => 'pow',
6 => 'foo',
);
$b = array(
'n' => array(1),
'm' => array(1, 2),
'l' => array(1, 4, 64),
);
$len = count($a);
$result = array();
$aVals = array_values($a);
$bKeys = array_keys($b);
$bVals = array_values($b);
for ($i = 0; $i < $len; $i++) {
$combined = array();
$key = $aVals[$i];
$prefix = $bKeys[$i];
$items = $bVals[$i];
foreach ($items as $item) {
$combined[] = sprintf('%s-%d', $prefix, $item);
};
if (count($combined) === 1) {
$combined = $combined[0];
}
$result[$key] = $combined;
}
var_dump($result);
?>

Answer 2

Your code may be very easy. For example, assuming arrays:
$one = Array
(
4 => 'bim',
5 => 'pow',
6 => 'foo'
);
$two = Array
(
'n' => Array
(
0 => 1
),
'm' => Array
(
0 => 1,
1 => 2
),
'l' => Array
(
0 => 1,
1 => 4,
2 => 64
)
);
You may get your result with:
$result = [];
while((list($oneKey, $oneValue) = each($one)) &&
(list($twoKey, $twoValue) = each($two)))
{
$result[$oneValue] = array_map(function($item) use ($twoKey)
{
return $twoKey.'-'.$item;
}, $twoValue);
};
-check this demo Note, that code above will not make single-element array as single element. If that is needed, just add:
$result = array_map(function($item)
{
return count($item)>1?$item:array_shift($item);
}, $result);
Version of this solution for PHP4>=4.3, PHP5>=5.0 you can find here
Update: if you need only string, then use this (cross-version):
$result = array();
while((list($oneKey, $oneValue) = each($one)) &&
(list($twoKey, $twoValue) = each($two)))
{
$temp = array();
foreach($twoValue as $item)
{
$temp[] = $twoKey.'-'.$item;
}
$result[] = $oneValue.' '.join(' ', $temp);
};
$result = join(' ', $result);

Answer 3

As a solution to your problem please try executing following code snippet
<?php
$a=array(4=>'bim',5=>'pow',6=>'foo');
$b=array('n'=>array(1),'m'=>array(1,2),'l'=>array(1,4,64));
$keys=array_values($a);
$values=array();
foreach($b as $key=>$value)
{
if(is_array($value) && !empty($value))
{
foreach($value as $k=>$val)
{
if($key=='n')
{
$values[$key]=$key.'-'.$val;
}
else
{
$values[$key][]=$key.'-'.$val;
}
}
}
}
$result=array_combine($keys,$values);
echo '<pre>';
print_r($result);
?>

Answer 4

The logic behind should be clear by reading the code comments.
Here's a demo # PHPFiddle.
//omitted array declarations
$output = array();
//variables to shorten things in the loop
$val1 = array_values($array1);
$keys2 = array_keys($array2);
$vals2 = array_values($array2);
//iterating over each element of the first array
for($i = 0; $i < count($array1); $i++) {
//if the second array has multiple values at the same index
//as the first array things will be handled differently
if(count($vals2[$i]) > 1) {
$tempArr = array();
//iterating over each element of the second array
//at the specified index
foreach($vals2[$i] as $val) {
//we push each element into the temporary array
//(in the form of "keyOfArray2-value"
array_push($tempArr, $keys2[$i] . "-" . $val);
}
//finally assign it to our output array
$output[$val1[$i]] = $tempArr;
} else {
//when there is only one sub-element in array2
//we can assign the output directly, as you don't want an array in this case
$output[$val1[$i]] = $keys2[$i] . "-" . $vals2[$i][0];
}
}
var_dump($output);
Output:
Array (
["bim"]=> "n-1"
["pow"]=> Array (
[0]=> "m-1"
[1]=> "m-2"
)
["foo"]=> Array (
[0]=> "l-1"
[1]=> "l-4"
[2]=> "l-64"
)
)
Concerning your final output you may do something like
$final = "";
//$output can be obtained by any method of the other answers,
//not just with the method i posted above
foreach($output as $key=>$value) {
$final .= $key . " ";
if(count($value) > 1) {
$final .= implode($value, " ") .", ";
} else {
$final .= $value . ", ";
}
}
$final = rtrim($final, ", ");
This will echo bim n-1, pow m-1 m-2, foo l-1 l-4 l-64.
