if inside for each loop pushing multidimensional array - php - php

Question

I'm running two for each loops and pushing one of them into the other one. This works fine, except if my I have more than one match. In that case, I'm only getting the last one. Sorry about the title, not too sure how to call this question in one line.
foreach($items as &$item) {
foreach($fruits as &$fruit) {
$i = 0;
if($fruit['for']==$item['id']) {
$item["fruits"][$i] = $fruit;
$i++;
}
}
}
First array :
array(114) {
[0]=>
array(5) {
["id"]=>
string(2) "76"
...
}
...
}
Second array :
array(47) {
[0]=>
array(5) {
["id"]=>
string(1) "4"
["for"]=>
string(2) "76"
...
}
...
}
With multiple matches of the if($fruit['for']==$item['id']) logic, I'd like the following output.
array(114) {
[0]=>
array(6) {
["id"]=>
string(2) "76"
...
["fruits"]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(5) {
["id"]=>
string(1) "4"
["for"]=>
string(2) "76"
...
}
[1]=>
array(5) {
["id"]=>
string(2) "33"
["for"]=>
string(2) "76"
...
}
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

take $i outside the loop, your match is always stored in $item["fruits"][0]
foreach($items as &$item) {
$i = 0;
foreach($fruits as &$fruit) {
if($fruit['for']==$item['id']) {
$item["fruits"][$i] = $fruit;
$i++;
}
}
}

Answer 2

You set $i to 0 for every array-element you check. This renders the $i++ useless and your first match gets overwritten. Try either this:
foreach($items as &$item) {
$i = 0;
foreach($fruits as &$fruit) {
if($fruit['for']==$item['id']) {
$item["fruits"][$i] = $fruit;
$i++;
}
}
}
or this: (depending on what exactly you will need)
$i = 0;
foreach($items as &$item) {
foreach($fruits as &$fruit) {
if($fruit['for']==$item['id']) {
$item["fruits"][$i] = $fruit;
$i++;
}
}
}
That way, each time you find a new match it gets a new key.
