I am trying to sort json object by same key and merge the value part using PHP but not getting the result as expected. My code is below:
$customArr=[{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"141"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"166"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"142"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"168"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"143"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"170"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"162"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"171"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"}]
function sortByName($a, $b){
$a = $a['attribute_code'];
$b = $b['attribute_code'];
if ($a == $b) return 0;
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
usort($customArr, 'sortByName');
Here I need if attribute_code is same then push the respective value into one array and also the duplicate value should not be there. The expected result is given below.
[{"attribute_code":"budget","value":[141,142,143,162]},{}.....]
But in my case the expected result not coming.
Using array_reduce() you can try it. array_reduce() callback takes two arguments, who's first argument is the old/previous iteration value and second argument is the current iteration value/element.
So using this function we can holds our current iteration values to the previous iteration value (total values).
array_reduce() iteratively reduce the array to a single value using a callback function.
$customArr = json_decode('[{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"141"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"166"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"142"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"168"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"143"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"170"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"162"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"171"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"}]', true);
$data = array_reduce($customArr, function ($acc, $new) {
if (isset($acc[$new['attribute_code']])) {
$old_value = $acc[$new['attribute_code']]['value'];
$acc[$new['attribute_code']]['value'] = array_unique(is_array($old_value) ? array_merge($old_value, [$new['value']]) : [$old_value, $new['value']]);
} else {
$acc[$new['attribute_code']] = $new;
}
return $acc;
}, []);
ksort($data);
echo '<pre>', json_encode(array_values($data));
Working demo.
At the moment you are just sorting the entries according to the attribute_code and doing nothing about merging the data items.
This code creates a new output array (keyed it by the attribute_code), if the code is already there it adds the value into the list of existing values, if not it adds a new item in, creating the value as an array (with the first item in). Lastly it uses ksort() to sort the items.
If you don't need these keys, then array_values() will give you a plain array (as in the output)...
$json='[{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"141"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"166"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"142"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"168"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"143"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"170"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"162"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"171"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"}]';
$customArr = json_decode($json, true);
$output = [];
foreach ( $customArr as $attribute ) {
if ( isset ( $output[$attribute['attribute_code']])) {
$output[$attribute['attribute_code']]['value'][] = $attribute['value'];
}
else {
$output[$attribute['attribute_code']] = ["attribute_code"=>$attribute['attribute_code'],
"value"=> [$attribute['value']]];
}
}
// Make sure values are unique
foreach ( $output as $code => $value ){
$output[$code]['value'] = array_unique($output[$code]['value']);
}
ksort($output);
print_r(array_values($output));
gives...
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[attribute_code] => budget
[value] => Array
(
[0] => 141
[1] => 142
[2] => 143
[3] => 162
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[attribute_code] => food_type
[value] => Array
(
[0] => 172
[1] => 173
)
)
[2] => Array
(
[attribute_code] => restaurants
[value] => Array
(
[0] => 166
[1] => 168
[2] => 170
[3] => 171

)
)
You have a JSON string, not an array.
$jsonString = '[{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"141"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"166"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"142"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"168"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"143"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"170"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"162"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"171"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"}]';
$customArr = json_decode($jsonString, true);
function sortByName($a, $b)
{
$a = $a['attribute_code'];
$b = $b['attribute_code'];
if ($a == $b) return 0;
return ($a < $b) ? -1 : 1;
}
usort($customArr, 'sortByName');
The similar solution as above, but a little different using a temp variable and in a single iteration:
<?php
$str='[{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"141"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"166"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"142"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"168"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"143"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"170"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"173"},{"attribute_code":"budget","value":"162"},{"attribute_code":"restaurants","value":"171"},{"attribute_code":"food_type","value":"172"}]';
$arr = json_decode($str,true);
$temp = $result= [];
foreach($arr as $key=>$customer){
if(in_array($customer['attribute_code'], $temp)){
$index=array_search($customer['attribute_code'],$temp);
if(!in_array($customer['value'],$result[$index]['value'])){
$result[$index]['value'][]=$customer['value'];
}
}else {
$temp[]=$customer['attribute_code'];
$result[]=[
'attribute_code'=>$customer['attribute_code'],
'value'=>[$customer['value']]
];
}
}
unset($temp);
print_r($result);
echo json_encode($result);
?>
Result :

JSON ENCODED RESPONSE

I'm pulling an array from the database and it looks like so:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[tracker_id] => 28
[tracking_numbers] => hdkshwuy47937892hd
)
[1] => Array
(
[tracker_id] => 28
[tracking_numbers] => 797825464411
)
)
I need to reformat it to look like this:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[tracker_id] => 28
[tracking_numbers] => Array
(
[0] => hdkshwuy47937892hd
[1] => 797825464411
)
)
)
I can't seem find the right search in the array or keys to create an array of numbers for the single tracker id.
Use array_column() for < php V5.5
<?php
$a=array
( array
('tracker_id' => 28,
'tracking_numbers'=> "hdkshwuy47937892hd"
),
array('tracker_id' => 28,
'tracking_numbers' => "797825464411",
) );
$a[0]['tracking_numbers']=array_column($a,"tracking_numbers");
unset($a[1]);
print_r($a);
Demo
try this
$arr_output = array();
foreach($arr_input as $arr)
{
$tracker_id = $arr['tracker_id'];
$tracking_numbers = $arr['tracking_numbers'];
$arr_output[$traker_id][] = $tracking_numbers;
}
print_r($arr_output);
UPDATE 2:
$arr_output = array();
$arr_output1 = array();
foreach($arr_input as $arr)
{
$tracker_id = $arr['tracker_id'];
$tracking_numbers = $arr['tracking_numbers'];
$arr_output[$traker_id][] = $tracking_numbers;
}
$i=0;
foreach($arr_output as $key=>$value)
{
$arr_output1[$i]['tracker_id']=$key
$arr_output1[$i]['tracking_numbers']=$value
$i+=1;
}
print_r($arr_output1);
I'm trying to experiment with array_splice and I get an output like this (from $match)
Array
(
[Keep me Updated] => Array
(
[winner] => winnerl.jpg
[0] => value0.jpg
)
[0] => valuel.jpg //this should really be inside [Leep me Updated] array
[1] => value2.jpg //this should really be inside [Leep me Updated] array
[2] => value3.jpg //this should really be inside [Leep me Updated] array
}
from (this foreach creates puts in the values into $match)
foreach($data as $d)
{
if (isset($match[$d['data']['name']])) {
$match_loser = array($d['loser']['lrg_img']);
array_splice($match,1,0,$match_loser);
}else{
$match[$d['data']['name']] = array("winner"=>$d['winner']['lrg_img'],
$d['loser']['lrg_img']);
}
}
What I'm trying to get is bring [0],[1],[2] into the [Keep me Updated] $match array:
Array
(
[Keep me Updated] => Array
(
[winner] => winnerl.jpg
[0] => value0.jpg
[1] => value1.jpg // old one: [0] => valuel.jpg
[2] => value2.jpg // old one: [1] => value2.jpg
[3] => value3.jpg // old one: [2] => value3.jpg
)
}
This is what $data looks like
$data[] = array(
"data"=>array
(
"name"=>$name,
),
"winner"=>array
(
"lrg_img"=>$img_url_winner
),
"loser"=>array
(
"lrg_img"=>$img_url_loser
)
$data has array values, and $match is where I'm trying to sort the data. So if my values match, it'll consolidate.
Thanks!
Use the inner array as the argument to array_splice
foreach($data as $d)
{
if (isset($match[$d['data']['name']])) {
$match_loser = array($d['loser']['lrg_img']);
array_splice($match[$d['data']['name']],1,0,$match_loser);
}else{
$match[$d['data']['name']] = array("winner"=>$d['winner']['lrg_img'],
$d['loser']['lrg_img']);
}
}
So My problem is:
I want to create nested array from string as reference.
My String is "res[0]['links'][0]"
So I want to create array $res['0']['links']['0']
I tried:
$result = "res[0]['links'][0]";
$$result = array("id"=>'1',"class"=>'3');
$result = "res[0]['links'][1]";
$$result = array("id"=>'3',"class"=>'9');
when print_r($res)
I see:
<b>Notice</b>: Undefined variable: res in <b>/home/fanbase/domains/fanbase.sportbase.pl/public_html/index.php</b> on line <b>45</b>
I need to see:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[links] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[class] => 3
)
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[links] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[class] => 9
)
)
)
)
Thanks for any help.
So you have a description of an array structure, and something to fill it with. That's doable with something like:
function array_create(&$target, $desc, $fill) {
preg_match_all("/[^\[\]']+/", $desc, $uu);
// unoptimized, always uses strings
foreach ($uu[0] as $sub) {
if (! isset($target[$sub])) {
$target[$sub] = array();
}
$target = & $target[$sub];
}
$target = $fill;
}
array_create( $res, "[0]['links'][0]", array("id"=>'1',"class"=>'3') );
array_create( $res, "[0]['links'][1]", array("id"=>'3',"class"=>'9') );
Note how the array name itself is not part of the structure descriptor. But you could theoretically keep it. Instead call the array_create() function with a $tmp variable, and afterwards extract() it to achieve the desired effect:
array_create($tmp, "res[0][links][0]", array(1,2,3,4,5));
extract($tmp);
Another lazy solution would be to use str_parse after a loop combining the array description with the data array as URL-encoded string.
I have a very stupid way for this, you can try this :-)
Suppose your string is "res[0]['links'][0]" first append $ in this and then put in eval command and it will really rock you. Follow the following example
$tmp = '$'.'res[0]['links'][0]'.'= array()';
eval($tmp);
Now you can use your array $res
100% work around and :-)
`
$res = array();
$res[0]['links'][0] = array("id"=>'1',"class"=>'3');
$res[0]['links'][0] = array("id"=>'3',"class"=>'9');
print_r($res);
but read the comments first and learn about arrays first.
In addition to mario's answer, I used another function from php.net comments, together, to make input array (output from jquery form serializeArray) like this:
[2] => Array
(
[name] => apple[color]
[value] => red
)
[3] => Array
(
[name] => appleSeeds[27][genome]
[value] => 201
)
[4] => Array
(
[name] => appleSeeds[27][age]
[value] => 2 weeks
)
[5] => Array
(
[name] => apple[age]
[value] => 3 weeks
)
[6] => Array
(
[name] => appleSeeds[29][genome]
[value] => 103
)
[7] => Array
(
[name] => appleSeeds[29][age]
[value] => 2.2 weeks
)
into
Array
(
[apple] => Array
(
[color] => red
[age] => 3 weeks
)
[appleSeeds] => Array
(
[27] => Array
(
[genome] => 201
[age] => 2 weeks
)
[29] => Array
(
[genome] => 103
[age] => 2.2 weeks
)
)
)
This allowed to maintain numeric keys, without incremental appending of array_merge. So, I used sequence like this:
function MergeArrays($Arr1, $Arr2) {
foreach($Arr2 as $key => $Value) {
if(array_key_exists($key, $Arr1) && is_array($Value)) {
$Arr1[$key] = MergeArrays($Arr1[$key], $Arr2[$key]);
}
else { $Arr1[$key] = $Value; }
}
return $Arr1;
}
function array_create(&$target, $desc, $fill) {
preg_match_all("/[^\[\]']+/", $desc, $uu);
foreach ($uu[0] as $sub) {
if (! isset($target[$sub])) {
$target[$sub] = array();
}
$target = & $target[$sub];
}
$target = $fill;
}
$input = $_POST['formData'];
$result = array();
foreach ($input as $k => $v) {
$sub = array();
array_create($sub, $v['name'], $v['value']);
$result = MergeArrays($result, $sub);
}
how do i sort this array by the nums...
Array(
[nums] => Array
(
[0] => 34
[1] => 12
[2] => 13
)
[players] => Array
(
[0] => Mike
[1] => Bob
[2] => Mary
)
)
... so that i get this one?
Array(
[nums] => Array
(
[0] => 12
[1] => 13
[2] => 34
)
[players] => Array
(
[0] => Bob
[1] => Mary
[2] => Mike
)
)
array_multisort($x['nums'],$x['players']);
Try the sort function.
bool sort ( array &$array [, int $sort_flags = SORT_REGULAR ] )
This function sorts an array. Elements will be arranged from lowest to highest when this function has completed.
Also check out asort and arsort
EDIT
I did not take into account your Multidimensional array.
<?php
//code derived from comments on the php.net/sort page.
// $sort used as variable function--can be natcasesort, for example
function sort2d( &$arrIn, $index = null, $sort = 'sort') {
// pseudo-secure--never allow user input into $sort
if (strpos($sort, 'sort') === false) {$sort = 'sort';}
$arrTemp = Array();
$arrOut = Array();
foreach ( $arrIn as $key=>$value ) {
reset($value);
$arrTemp[$key] = is_null($index) ? current($value) : $value[$index];
}
$sort($arrTemp);
foreach ( $arrTemp as $key=>$value ) {
$arrOut[$key] = $arrIn[$key];
}
$arrIn = $arrOut;
}
?>
