By the way foreach is not a loop but a language construct.
Traverse like this.
foreach($yourarr as $k=>$v)
{

I have a multidimensional array in PHP, and want to concatenate a string onto each string element using recursion. The array is as follows:
$array = Array
(
[p] => Array
(
[0] => This Porsche 993 Carrera Cabriolet represents a great opportunity to acquire an open-top variant of one of the most coveted 911 models.
[1] => First registered on 5 August 1994, M912 SGY displays 10,630 miles on the odometer with a clock change at 66,244 miles in 2014.

I have tried the following:
$addedChecked = $this->addCheckedRecursive($array);
private function addCheckedRecursive($array)
{
if(!is_array($array)) {
return $array . ' checked';
}
foreach($array as $v) {
$this->addCheckedRecursive($v);
}
}
and also
$addedChecked = array_walk_recursive($array, function (&$value) {
$value .= ' checked';
});
The latter simply returned true.
For info, every element of each array will always be a string, and I would also like to preserve the current array structure. Any help is appreciated.
There is an in-built function that you can use to achieve what you want.
If you use array_walk_recursive as follows:
// Say you have your array $xmlArray
array_walk_recursive($xmlArray, function (&$value) {
$value .= ' checked';
});
// Since $xmlArray is now modified (in place)
echo '<pre>';
print_r($xmlArray);
echo '</pre>';
In case you would not want $xmlArray to be changed as a side effect, could assign a value copy of the array to a new variable.
$addedChecked = $xmlArray;
array_walk_recursive($addedChecked, function (&$value) {
$value .= ' checked';
});
// Since $addedChecked is now modified (in place)
echo '<pre>';
print_r($addedChecked);
echo '</pre>';
The function takes in the array by reference and will thus modify the array directly as a side effect of the function. This is one important thing to note, it does not return an array, but only whether the function was successfully executed on the array you gave it.
This will loop over each key => value pair and do so recursively if the value is of type array. You can simply concatenate to the value (where we pass value by reference) to update it with checked.
why dont you try array_walk_recursive or array_replace_recursive ?
the docs can be found here
Try it like this:
$addedChecked = $this->addCheckedRecursive($array);
private function addCheckedRecursive($array)
{
if (!is_array($array)) {
return $array . ' checked';
}
else
{
for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
$array[$i] = $this->addCheckedRecursive($array[$i]);
}
return $array;
}
}
I have an old windows 95 program that exports data without account numbers, seasonal accounts, and if accounts contains a sub account.
I am, however, able to print customer information and notes that has the above information to a pdf file and copy that text to notepad; which I would like to extract the data.
The order the data: 1) page headers (I do not need this data.)
Company Name
Customer Information and Notes
Computed Monday, August 10 2015 Page 1
2) standard titles and 3) the data after titles:
Ser Name: Block, Sunny Route: 1
Address: 3354 ASPEN RD. Frequency: Monthly
Address: ST PETE, GA 33333 Week/Day: First Monday
City State Zip: data Sched Time (HH:MM): 10:00A
Ser Phone: 555-1212 Service: BASIC SERVICE
Bill to: BLOCK,SUNNY Rate ($): 24.00
Company Name
Customer Information and Notes
Computed Monday, August 10 2015 Page 2
Address: 1123 Sligh Terms: CASH
Address: Apt B
notes: Sunny has a mean dog
Do not enter unless dog is put up
Then it loops to next customers data and so on.
The main titles never change, such as, ser name, route, address, notes, phone. There is a set number of titles in order; however, the title notes: can take 1 -16 lines; and the header is random throughout the data. and although the titles are in order, address is titled 4 times for both service- line 1 and line 2 and billing addresses- line 1 and line 2.
I would like to set variables to these titles and only take what's after them; the extraction part through PHP. Is there anyway to do this?
I don't think it's possible for a perfect solution, but FWIW, maybe this is good enough for you.
Without a known / reliable delimiter between clients, I can't think of any good way you can get the notes without having the header stuff for the next company included, unless you can do something involving a big lookup table of all client names.
I do have (an ugly) regex that may reliably help as far as the other stuff though:
$content='[the contents of your file]';
preg_match_all('~(Ser Name|Route|Address|Frequency|Week/Day|City State Zip|Sched Time \(HH:MM\)|Ser Phone|Service|Bill to|Rate \(\$\)|Terms|notes):\s*((?:(?!Ser Name|Route|Address|Frequency|Week/Day|City State Zip|Sched Time \(HH:MM\)|Ser Phone|Service|Bill to|Rate \(\$\)|Terms|notes).)+)~is',$content,$matches);
So this basically looks for the "header" and puts into first captured group, and then matches up to the next "header" and puts that into 2nd captured group.
Perhaps this is good enough for you, but TBH I can't think of anything better you can do, unless you can improve your extraction to a better format.
So your example data would output:

I'm trying to parse it in php using a foreach loop so the url, title and content will be shown. However I can't seem to parse the code properly. The code below gives me an error that 'responsedata' isin't recognisied.
foreach($json as value)
echo $value [responsedata];
When I leave it at echo $value, it gives me the number 200, which is the value of responsestatus. When I try
foreach( $json =>url => title => content as $value)
it won't recognise the '=' sign.
Any ideas?? I'm not overly familiar with JSON or php if you havn't gotten that from the post:)
TIA
FTR, what you posted is a native array, not a "json array", try this:
$rawArray = get_results_somehow();
// Flatten the array to make it easier to work with
$results = $rawArray['responseData']['results'];
foreach ($results as $result) {
// Should now see the expected values
var_dump($result);
}
That data is already in array form. You need to iterate on $array['responseData']['results'] like this.
$arr = $array['responseData']['results'];
foreach($arr as $k){
echo $k['url'];
echo $k['title'];
echo $k['content'];
}
I'm trying to get the contact information from this site http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-967.html using PHP.. I was able to get the e-email ad by using the href links by doing this:
$contactStr = "http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-967.html";
$contact_string = file_get_contents("$contactStr");
preg_match_all('/<a href="(.*)">(.*)<\/a>/i', $contact_string, $contactInfo);
$email = str_replace("mailto:", "", $contactInfo[1][6]);
However, I'm having a hard time getting the address and the phone # since there's no html element I can use like < p > maybe.. I just need 1800 SW First Ave., Suite 440 Portland OR 97201 United States and 310-467-2549 from this site.. Please enlighten me on how to do this
using preg_match_all or some other ways possible.. Thanks!
Instead of using regex try DOMDocument as others have said in comment.
Here is an example (bit hacky tho) hope it helps:
function get_register_by_id($id){
$site = file_get_contents('http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-'.$id.'.html');
$dom = new DOMDocument();
#$dom->loadHTML($site);
$result = array();
foreach($dom->getElementsByTagName('td') as $td) {
if($td->getAttribute('width')=='420'){
$innerHTML= '';
$children = $td->childNodes;
foreach ($children as $child) {
$innerHTML .= trim($child->ownerDocument->saveXML($child));
}
$fixed = array_map('strip_tags', array_map('trim', explode("<br/>",trim($innerHTML))));
foreach($fixed as $val){
if(empty($val)){continue;}
$result[] = str_replace(array('! '),'',$val);
}
}
}
return $result;
}
print_r(get_register_by_id(965));

I want to check a value in an array. If its not there it gets pushed to a new array. If the value is already there then its not added to the new value.
But with my code the checking of the value is not working.
Its still adding the array if the specific value is present.
I got this code:
foreach($user_movie_info['data'] as $movie) {
similar_text($movie_facebook_page['genre'], $movie['genre'], $percent);
if ($percent > 30) {
echo $movie_facebook_page['genre']. "" ."</br>";
echo $movie['genre']. "" ."</br>";
echo $percent. "" ."</br>";
echo "match! </br></br>";
// add all movie information to matched array, only if its not already present
if (!in_array($movie_facebook_page['name'], $matched_movies_array)) {
array_push($matched_movies_array, $movie_facebook_page);
}
} //foreach
If i print out the $matched_movies_array i got one array 2 times in it:

[description] => Lionsgate’s TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 horror classic left off in Newt, Texas, where for decades people went missing without a trace. The townspeople long suspected the Sawyer family, owners of a local barbeque pit, were somehow responsible. Their suspicions were finally confirmed one hot summer day when a young woman escaped the Sawyer house following the brutal murders of her four friends. Word around the small town quickly spread, and a vigilante mob of enraged locals surrounded the Sawyer stronghold, burning it to the ground and killing every last member of the family – or so they thought.
Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the mansion’s dank cellars…
With gruesome surprises in store for a whole new generation, TEXAS CHAINSAW 3D stars Alexandra Daddario, Dan Yeager, Tremaine ‘Trey Songz’ Neverson, Scott Eastwood, Tania Raymonde, Shaun Sipos, Keram Malicki-Sanchez, James MacDonald, Thom Barry, Paul Rae and Richard Riehle, along with special appearances from four beloved cast members from previous installments of the franchise: Gunnar Hansen (the original Leatherface), Marilyn Burns, John Dugan and Bill Moseley. The film is directed by John Luessenhop (TAKERS), from a screenplay by Adam Marcus & Debra Sullivan and Kirsten Elms, based on a story by Stephen Susco and Adam Marcus & Debra Sullivan and based on characters created by Kim Henkel and Tobe Hooper, and produced by Carl Mazzocone. Lionsgate presents a production and Main Line Pictures production.

[plot_outline] => All work and no play makes Academy Award-winner Jack Nicholson ("As Good As It Gets," "Batman"), the caretaker of an isolated resort, go way off the deep end, terrorizing his young son and wife Shelley Duvall ("Roxanne"). Master filmmaker Stanley Kubrick's ("Full Metal Jacket," "2001: A Space Odyssey") visually haunting chiller, based on the bestseller by master-of-suspense Stephen King ("The Stand," "Carrie," "The Shawshank Redemption"), is an undeniable contemporary classic. Newsweek Magazine calls this "the first epic horror film," full of indelible images, and a signature role for Nicholson whose character was recently selected by AFI for its' 50 Greatest Villains.

I get this info from the open graph api from Facebook.
$matched_movies_array does not contain the movie names. So in_array will never pass.
Try something like:
$movieIds = array();
foreach($user_movie_info['data'] as $movie) {
similar_text($movie_facebook_page['genre'], $movie['genre'], $percent);
if ($percent > 30) {
echo $movie_facebook_page['genre']. "" ."</br>";
echo $movie['genre']. "" ."</br>";
echo $percent. "" ."</br>";
echo "match! </br></br>";
// add all movie information to matched array, only if its not already present
if (!in_array($movie_facebook_page['id'], $movieIds)) {
$movieIds[] = $movie_facebook_page['id'];
array_push($matched_movies_array, $movie_facebook_page);
}
} //foreach
Or maybe even better:
$id = $movie_facebook_page['id'];
if (!isset($matched_movies_array[$id])) {
$matched_movies_array[$id] = $movie_facebook_page;
}
The in_array() function doesn't work searching for a string in a multi-dimensional array. Take this for example:
$find = array("name" => "test");
$matches = array(array("name" => "test"), array("name" => "test2"));
echo (in_array($find['name'], $matches)) ? "found" : "not found";
echo "<br /><br />";
echo (in_array($find, $matches)) ? "found" : "not found";
The first echo is "not found", the second one is "found". You should use your entire $movie_facebook_page array as the needle.
