I want to get all the array data where keys has the characters 'ch' from the start. How do I get it?
Array ( [editpostid] => 0 [editpostcat] => 1 [ch114] => on [ch115] => on )
The keys of the data may vary as the numbers come from the record id's from the database.
how do I place all the data with 'ch' in the start of keys on to a separate array?
Do like this
<?php
$arr = array('ch'=>10,'abch'=>20,'ch23'=>45);
$newarr=array();
foreach($arr as $k=>$v)
{
if(substr(strtolower($k),0,2)=='ch')
{
array_push($newarr,$v); // Make use of this if you just need the values
//$newarr[$k]=$v; // Uncomment this and comment above statement, if you need the keys too
}
}
print_r($newarr);
OUTPUT:
Array
(
[0] => 10
[1] => 45
)
$charray=array();
foreach($yourarray as $key=>$value){
if(preg_match("/^ch/",$key)){
$charray[$key]=>$value;
}
}
//$charray is the new arrayas you asked for
echo implode(',',$charray);
refer official documentation for preg_match for more information

I have 2 arrays that fetches usernames in a loop. At the end of the loop there should be 1 user that is only in one array, all other users will be in both. I want the output to display the username of the user that is only listed in one of the arrays.
End array example as follows:
$usrArray = Array ( [0] => Dave[1] => Andy[2] => Mike);
$looseArray = Array ( [0] => Dave[1] => Mike);
I want an output to display just "Andy" as he is the only user listed in only 1 array.
Appreciate the help. Thanks.
Like this...
$usrArray = array('Dave','Andy','Mike');
$looseArray = array('Dave','Mike');
foreach ($usrArray as $key => $value) {
if(!in_array($value, $looseArray)){
echo $value;
}
}

array_diff($usrArray, $looseArray)
As a newbie, does anyone have any good tutorials to help me understand different levels of an array? What I'm trying to learn is how to echo different levels, e.g. here is the output array:
Array
(
[meta] =>
Array
(
[total_record_count] => 1
[total_pages] => 1
[current_page] => 1
[per_page] => 1
)
[companies] =>
Array
(
[0] =>
Array
(
[id] => 291869
[url] => https://api.mattermark.com/companies/291869
[company_name] => gohenry.co.uk
[domain] => gohenry.co.uk
)
)
[total_companies] => 1
[page] => 1
[per_page] => 1
)
And here is the code to parse the array:
foreach($jsonObj as $item)
{
echo $item['total_companies'];
}
I'm really struggling to find the structure and how to output each items, e.g. tried things like:
echo $item[0]['total_companies'];
echo $item['companies'][0]['id'];
Any help or pointers would be greatly received.
Well, Lets start, You have a multi-dimensional array. For a multi-dimensional array you need to use looping e.g: for, while, foreach. For your purpose it is foreach.
Start with the array dimension, Array can be multi-dimension, Like you have multi-dimension. If you have an array like below, then it is single dimension.
array(
key => value,
key2 => value2,
key3 => value3,
...
)
Now, How can you know what is a multi-dimension array, If you array has another array as child then it is called multi-dimensional array, like below.
$array = array(
"foo" => "bar",
42 => 24,
"multi" => array(
"dimensional" => array(
"array" => "foo"
)
)
);
Its time to work with your array. Suppose you want to access the value of company_name, what should you do?? Let your array name is $arr.
First you need to use a foreach loop like:
foreach($arr as $key => $val)
The keys are (meta, companies, total_companies...), they are in the first dimension. Now check if the key is company_name or not, if it matches than you got it. Or else you need to make another loop if the $val is an array, You can check it using is_array.
By the same processing at the last element your loop executes and find your value.
Learning
Always a good idea to start with the docs:
arrays: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php
foreach: http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.foreach.php
As for tutorials, try the interactive tutorial over at codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/php
Unit 4 has a tutorial on arrays
Unit 11 has a lesson on advanced arrays.
Your code
As for your code, look at the following which I will show you your array structure and how to access each element. Perhaps that will make things clearer for you.
So lets say your array is named $myArray, see how to access each part via the comments. Keep in mind this is not php code, I'm just showing you how to access the array's different elements.
$myArray = Array
(
// $myArray['meta']
[meta] => Array (
// $myArray['meta']['total_record_count']
[total_record_count] => 1
// $myArray['meta']['total_pages']
[total_pages] => 1
// $myArray['meta']['current_page']
[current_page] => 1
// $myArray['meta']['per_page']
[per_page] => 1
)
// $myArray['companies']
[companies] => Array (
// $myArray['companies'][0]
[0] => Array (
// $myArray['companies'][0]['id']
[id] => 291869
// $myArray['companies'][0]['url']
[url] => https://api.mattermark.com/companies/291869
// $myArray['companies'][0]['company_name']
[company_name] => gohenry.co.uk
// $myArray['companies'][0]['domain']
[domain] => gohenry.co.uk
)
)
// $myArray['total_companies']
[total_companies] => 1
// $myArray['page']
[page] => 1
// $myArray['per_page']
[per_page] => 1
)
As for your for each loop
foreach($jsonObj as $item)
{
echo $item['total_companies'];
}
What the foreach loop is doing is looping through each first level of the array $jsonObj, so that would include:
meta
companies
total_companies
page
per_page
Then within the curly braces {} of the foreach loop you can refer to each level by the variable $item.
So depending on what you want to achieve you need to perhaps change your code, what is it you're trying to do as it's not really clear to me.
As for the code within the loop:
echo $item['total_companies'];
It won't work because you're trying to access an array with the index of total_companies within the first level of the $jsonObj array which doesn't exist. For it to work your array would have to look like this:
$jsonObj = array (
'0' => array ( // this is what is reference to as $item
'total_companies' => 'some value'
)
)
What you want to do is this:
foreach($jsonObj as $item)
{
echo $jsonObj['total_companies'];
}
As for your final snippet of code:
echo $item[0]['total_companies'];
Answered this above. Access it like $jsonObj['total_companies'];
echo $item['companies'][0]['id'];
If you want to loop through the companies try this:
foreach($jsonObj['companies'] as $item)
{
// now item will represent each iterable element in $jsonObj['companies]
// so we could do this:
echo $item['id'];
}
I hope that all helps! If you don't understand please make a comment and I'll update my answer.

Information about php arrays
Try recursive array printing using this function:
function recursive($array){
foreach($array as $key => $value){
//If $value is an array.
if(is_array($value)){
//We need to loop through it.
recursive($value);
} else{
//It is not an array, so print it out.
echo $value, '<br>';
}
}
}
if you know how deep your array structure you can perform nested foreach loop and before every loop you have to check is_array($array_variable), like :
foreach($parent as $son)
{
if(is_array($son))
{
foreach($son as $grandson)
{
if(is_array($son))
{
foreach($grandson as $grandgrandson)
{
.....
......
.......
}
else
echo $grandson;
}
else
echo $parent;
}
else
echo $son;
}
hope it will help you to understand
i have array like
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[user_info] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Josh
[email] => u0001#josh.com
[watched_auctions] => 150022 150031
)
[auctions] => Array
(
[150022] => Array
(
[id] => 150022
[title] => Title of auction
[end_date] => 2013-08-28 17:50:00
[price] => 10
)
[150031] => Array
(
[id] => 150031
[title] => Title of auction №
[end_date] => 2013-08-28 16:08:03
[price] => 10
)
)
)
so i need put in <td> info from [auctions] => Array where is id,title,end_date but when i do like $Info['id'] going and put id from [user_info] when i try $Info[auctions]['id'] there is return null how to go and get [auctions] info ?
Try:
foreach( $info['auctions'] as $key=>$each ){
echo ( $each['id'] );
}
Or,
foreach( $info as $key=>$each ){
foreach( $each['auctions'] as $subKey=>$subEach ){
echo ( $subEach['id'] );
}
}
Given the data structure from your question, the correct way would be for example:
$Info[1]['auctions'][150031]['id']
$array =array();
foreach($mainArray as $innerArray){
$array[] = $innerArray['auctions'];
}
foreach($array as $key=>$val){
foreach($val as $k=>$dataVal){
# Here you will get Value of particular key
echo $dataVal[$k]['id'];
}
}
Try this code
Your question is a bit malformed. I don't know if this is due to a lacking understanding of the array structure or just that you had a hard time to explain. But basically an array in PHP never has two keys. I will try to shed some more light on the topic on a basic level and hope it helps you.
Anyway, what you have is an array of arrays. And there is no difference in how you access the contents of you array containing the arrays than accessing values in an array containing integers. The only difference is that what you get if you retrieve a value from your array, is another array. That array can you then in turn access values from just like a normal array to.
You can do all of this in "one" line if you'd like. For example
echo $array[1]["user_info"]["name"]
which would print Josh
But what actually happens is no magic.
You retrieve the element at index 1 from your array. This happens to be an array so you retrieve the element at index *user_info* from that. What you get back is also an array so you retrieve the element at index name.
So this is the same as doing
$arrayElement = $array[1];
$userInfo = $arrayElement["user_info"];
$name = $userInfo["name"];
Although this is "easier" to read and debug, the amount of code it produces sometimes makes people write the more compact version.
Since you get an array back you can also do things like iterating you array with a foreach loop and within that loop iterate each array you get from each index within the first array. This can be a quick way to iterate over multidimensional array and printing or doing some action on each element in the entire structure.
I am new to php and still learning the language,
let say I have two array
For Example
Array
(
[house_id] => 6
[name] => Lake Villa
[floor] => 5
[unit] => 25
)
Array
(
[house_id] => 6
[name] => Lake Villa
[floor] => 5
[unit] => 25
[parking_id] => 9
[resident_count] => 4
)
How do i get the keys of 1st array onto second, what i am saying is, i just need house_id, name, floor, unit from second array and discard rest of the information.
However, they key is not same and dynamic, which means the first array key whatever returned is also present on second but with additional information. The information above is just an example and the keys might varies but whatever key on first array contains on second array too.
I tried this, but isn't working:
foreach($arr1 as $k=>$v) {
foreach($arr2 as $j=>$w) {
if(isset($arr2[$k]))
$arr[$k] = $w;
}
}
You could use array_intersect_key, to merge the arrays.
$newArray = array_intersect_key($array2, $array1);
Use array_intersect_key().
array_intersect_key() returns an array containing all the entries of
array1 which have keys that are present in all the arguments.
Code
var_dump(array_intersect_key($array1, $array2));
foreach($arr2 as $key=>$val){
if(!array_key_exists($key,$arr1))
unset($arr2[$key]);
}
change condition from
if(isset($arr2[$k]))
to
if($arr1[$k] == $arr2[$j]) // it will work.
and isset is used for checking the variable is set or not.
Try this:
foreach($arr2 as $k=>$v) {
//Check if key is in first array
if(!isset($arr1[$k])) {
//Key not in first array, remove from second array.
unset($arr2[$k]);
}
}
try this
$result_array = array_intersect_key($arr2, $arr1);
I'm new to working with arrays so I need some help. With getting just one vaule from an array. I have an original array that looks like this:
$array1= Array(
[0] => 1_31
[1] => 1_65
[2] => 29_885...)
What I'm trying to do is seach for and return just the value after the underscore. I've figured out how to get that data into a second array and return the vaules as a new array.
foreach($array1 as $key => $value){
$id = explode('_',$value);
}
which gives me:
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 31 )
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 65 )
Array ( [0] => 29 [1] => 885 )
I can also get a list of the id's or part after the underscore by using $id[1] I'm just not sure if this is the best way and if it is how to do a search. I've tried using in_array() but that searches the whole array and I couldn't make it just search one key of the array.
Any help would be great.
If the part after underscore is unique, make it a key for new array:
$newArray = array();
foreach($array1 as $key => $value){
list($v,$k) = explode('_',$value);
$newArray[$k] = $v;
}
So you can check for key existence with isset($newArray[$mykey]), which will be more efficient.
You can use preg_grep() to grep an array:
$array1= array("1_31", "1_65", "29_885");
$num = 65;
print_r(preg_grep("/^\d+_$num$/", $array1));
Outputs:
Array
(
[1] => 1_65
)
See http://ideone.com/3Fgr8
I would say you're doing it just about as well as anyone else would.
EDIT
Alternate method:
$array1 = array_map(create_function('$a','$_ = explode("_",$a); return $_[1];'),$array1);
echo in_array(3,$array1) ? "yes" : "no"; // 3 being the example
I would have to agree. If you wish to see is a value exists in an array however just use the 'array_key_exists' function, if it returns true use the value for whatever.
