Replace Object inside an Array in php - php

Question

I have one array having multiple objects (say 3 Objects), each having 3 "Key-Value" pairs.
$PredefinedResult is something like this :
[
{
"EffectiveStatusId":0,
"EffectiveStatus":"abc",
"RecordCount":0
},
{
"EffectiveStatusId":0,
"EffectiveStatus":"def",
"RecordCount":0
},
{
"EffectiveStatusId":0,
"EffectiveStatus":"ghi",
"RecordCount":0
}
]
I have another array of objects named $MainResult with values like :
[
{
"EffectiveStatusId":1,
"EffectiveStatus":"abc",
"RecordCount":7
},
{
"EffectiveStatusId":6,
"EffectiveStatus":"def",
"RecordCount":91
}
]
Expected Result :
I want to replace the similar objects inside $PredefinedResult with the objects from $MainResult and want result like this :
[
{
"EffectiveStatusId":1,
"EffectiveStatus":"abc",
"RecordCount":7
},
{
"EffectiveStatusId":6,
"EffectiveStatus":"def",
"RecordCount":91
},
{
"EffectiveStatusId":0,
"EffectiveStatus":"ghi",
"RecordCount":0
}
]
What I tried :
I tried with this code but it's not giving me the desired result.
$FinalResult = array_replace($PredefineResult,$MainResult);
Can anyone help me on how to get the Expected Result as mentioned above ?

Answer 1

There's no "built-in" function for this. You're gonna have to loop and compare each manually. array_map seems like an OK choice here:
$PredefinedResult = array_map(function($a) use($MainResult){
foreach($MainResult as $data){
if($a->EffectiveStatus === $data->EffectiveStatus){
return $data;
}
}
return $a;
}, $PredefinedResult);

Answer 2

Iterate through the array and manual compare the values as follows.
$res = array();
foreach ($PredefineResult as $result){
foreach ($MainResult as $mresult){
if(($result->EffectiveStatus == $mresult->EffectiveStatus) && $mresult->RecordCount!=0){
$res[] = $mresult;
}else $res[] = $result;
}
}
print_r($res);
