Inside a foreach loop, I am returning an array ($followerPosts).
foreach($myfollowers['entities'] as $myfollower)
{
$followerPosts=$this->displayPostsAction($myfollower->getFollower());
}
I need to have at the end one one big array containing all the $followerPosts arrays.

$bigArray = array();
foreach($myfollowers['entities'] as $myfollower)
{
$followerPosts=$this->displayPostsAction($myfollower->getFollower());
$bigArray[] = $followerPosts;
}
OR
$bigArray = array();
foreach($myfollowers['entities'] as $myfollower)
{
$bigArray[] =$this->displayPostsAction($myfollower->getFollower());
}

You can declare an array before the loop, then use array_merge on each iteration
or array_push, it depends on what you want to do

Use array_merge to put all of them into one array like this:
$big = array();
foreach($myfollowers['entities'] as $myfollower)
{
$big = array_merge($big, $this->displayPostsAction($myfollower->getFollower()));
}

You have to add them to the array.
$followerPosts = array()
foreach($myfollowers['entities'] as $myfollower)
{
//$followerPosts=$this->displayPostsAction($myfollower->getFollower());
$followerPosts[]=$this->displayPostsAction($myfollower->getFollower());
}
print_r(followerPosts)

For the purpose the best tool, I think, is the array_map function:
$followerPosts = array_map(function($f) {
return $this->displayPostsAction($f->getFollower());
}, $myFollowers['entities']);
var_dump($followerPosts);

I need an array like this in PHP?
array = [mani , mani, nithi, nithi, basto]
return in
array = [basto]
not for other elements
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
<?php
$items = ['mani' , 'mani', 'nithi', 'nithi', 'basto'];
$counts = array_count_values($items);
// Remove elements that occur more than once.
$filtered = array_filter($items, function ($item) use ($counts) {
return $counts[$item] === 1;
});
var_export($filtered);
Output:
array (
4 => 'basto',
)
You may want to specify your question so users here can provide better assistance.
To your issue:
array_unique($array);
https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-unique.php
EDIT: you want to search all items by name, to do that you need this function: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.array-search.php
with your example:
$array = ['mani' , 'mani', 'nithi', 'nithi', 'basto'];
$basto = array_search('basto', $array);
Best,

How i can combine ad array of values into an array with double combination string without duplications ?
For example, if i have something like:
array('one','two','tre','four','five');
I want to obtain an array of combinations like this ('one / two') just one time and not also ('two / one').
In this way i wanto to get something similar to:
array('one/two', 'one/tre', 'one/four', 'one/five', 'two/tree','two/four' .......
Suggestions ?
You can do it with this code. It won't show two/one, three/two, etc (that's how I understood it):
<?php
$array = array('one','two','tre','four','five');
$newArray = [];
foreach ($array as $el) {
foreach ($array as $el2) {
if ($el === $el2) continue;
$newArray[] = $el."/".$el2;
}
array_shift($array); // remove the element we just went through
}
print_r($newArray);

Hi i have this certain php function. But i cannot figured it out how to output this one. This is the question // Given an array, display each item in the array without using a loop. (Do not use built in functions to do this, like PHP's print_r; use a recursive function to implement)
and this is the code
<?php
function print_array(array $input)
{
}
?>
can someone share ideas on this? Any help is muchly appreciated.
you can use implode
$your_array = array("abc", "5", "xyz")
$text = implode(" ", $your_array); // implode with space you can use any other on this place
echo $text;
OUTPUT : abc 5 xyz
FUNCTION :
function print_array($your_array)
{
$text = implode(" ", $your_array); // implode with space you can use any other on this place
echo $text;
}
Recusive Method :
but only used when the key of the array is numeric starting with 0, 1, 2 ....
print_array($your_array);
function print_array($your_array, $index=0)
{
if(isset($your_array[$index]))
{
echo $your_array[$index];
$index+=1;
print_array($your_array, $index)
}
}

I have an array like this :
[[a,b],[c,d]]
How can I delete the outer array so it becomes:
[a,b],[c,d]
I tried using unset but cannot find a solution.
i got this answer by asign arrays in loops to another variable.. so how can i access the loops outside the loop it self?
foreach($arr3 as $key => $value)
{
$newArr[$key] = $value;
echo json_encode($value); // this will answer my question
}
echo json_encode($value); // when i echo outside loop it will not display as inside loop
Simple way to do this is as below.
foreach($array as $key => $value)
{
$newArr[$key] = $value;
}
$newArr contains new array which you are asking.
Comment Response
You can also con cat it.
$concat = "";
foreach($arr3 as $key => $value)
{
$newArr[$key] = $value;
$concat .= json_encode($value).',';
}
echo rtrim($concat,',');
You should not delete the outer array. You can simply access the index of the array and cast it to another array.
As an example;
$arr = array(array('x','y'),array('z'));
You can access this with;
$arr[0];
$array2=$array[0];
$array3=$array[1];
unset($array);

foreach($items as $value)
{
if($value['item1']=='somestring')
{
// some PHP code...
}
}
Shouldn't $value refer to each value in $items array. What do they mean by $value['item1']? Does it mean $items is a multidimensional array or something?
It means $value is an array and therefore $items is a multidimensional array.
The $foo[] syntax is used by arrays and objects that emulate them (if that's what you mean). The index can be an integer or a string. As you already point out, PHP allows multidimensional arrays.
If you print $key and $value then out show you good result
foreach($items as $key=>$value) // $items contain array mean multidimensional
{
print_r($value);
print($key);//$key is index value
//item1 is array element and $value is array exist in $items
if($value['item1']=='somestring')
{
some PHP code...
}
}
so $items multidimensional array and $value array exist in $items array that's by $items multidimensional array
It means that $items is a multi-dimensional array.
And its looped over.
It has following structure for example:
array(
0 => array('item1' => 'something'),
1 => array('item1' => 'something1')
);
Through this code, we are looping so, in the statement,
foreach($items as $value)
We are getting the inner arrays 0, 1, .. and so on.
And in the line, if($value['item1']=='somestring'), we are getting array elements of 0, 1, and so on.
Hope you understand.
'item1' is the key to one of the elements inside the array $value.
So yes, this makes $items a multidimensional array.
All above are true if no errors are found running the code.
