I have an array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 31299
[name] => 37322426212
[ips] =>
[tech_prefix] =>
[password] =>
[id_voip_hosts] =>
[proxy_mode] =>
[auth_type] => ani
[ani] => 37322426212
[accname] =>
[protocol] =>
[port] =>
[orig_enabled] => 1
[term_enabled] =>
[orig_capacity] =>
[term_capacity] =>
[orig_rate_table] => 7
[term_rate_table] =>
[id_dr_plans] =>
[orig_groups] =>
[term_groups] =>
[notes] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 4373
[name] => 37322983029
[ips] =>
[tech_prefix] =>
[password] =>
[id_voip_hosts] =>
[proxy_mode] =>
[auth_type] => ani
[ani] => 37322983029
[accname] =>
[protocol] =>
[port] =>
[orig_enabled] => 1
[term_enabled] =>
[orig_capacity] =>
[term_capacity] =>
[orig_rate_table] => 7
[term_rate_table] =>
[id_dr_plans] =>
[orig_groups] =>
[term_groups] =>
[notes] =>
)
[2] => Array
(
[auth_type] => ani
[name] => 37322983029
[ani] => 37322983029
[orig_enabled] => Array
(
[0] => on
)
[orig_rate_table] => 7
)
)
Items with 0,1,2 may be more(3,4...10...and so on).
What I am trying to do is to find array with key ani and name = 37322983029 and replace
name with '###' and ani to empty:
[mane]=>"###",//where name = '37322983029'
[ani]=> //where ani = '37322983029'
I tried with str_replace but no success.
How can this be done?

Answer 1

I think, this is what you are looking for:
foreach($yourArray as &$a)
{
if($a["ani"] == 37322983029 and $a["ani"] == $a["name"])
{
$a["name"] = "###";
$a["ani"] = "";
}
}

Answer 2

Not sure how you were using str_replace, but the following should work (assuming that ani and mane (or name?) are actually string indices into your array - not obvious from your example):
foreach($myArray as &$val) {
if($val['ani'] == 37322983029) {
$val['ani'] = '';
$val['name'] = "###";
}
}
important Note the use of & to pass the value by reference so you are working with actual elements of the array, not copies... In that way, when you modify $val you are actually modifying the original array. Without the ampersand, your initial array would be unchanged by the loop.
Also note - it is not clear from your example whether you want to test for just ani==37322983029 or also for name=37322983029. I am sure you can modify the code above to have both conditions (or see Alexxus's answer)
A complete code example (tested, working):
<?php
$a = Array(Array('a'=>4, 'b'=>5),Array('a'=>6, 'b'=>7));
echo '<pre>';
print_r($a);
foreach($a as &$v){
if($v['a']==6) {
$v['a'] = 12;
$v['b'] = '';
}
}
print_r($a);
echo '</pre>';
?>
Produces output
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[a] => 4
[b] => 5
)
[1] => Array
(
[a] => 6
[b] => 7
)
)
