this must be very simple but I couldn't make it work.. PHP noob :P
I have this array "$e_cats" and when I do var_dump($e_cats); the result is this:
array(3) { [0]=> string(3) "192" [1]=> string(3) "190" [2]=> string(3) "191" }
What I want is to add "-" to every value inside, so "-192", "-190", and "-191". Here is my code:
foreach ($e_cats as $cat) {
$cat = '-' .$cat;
}
but when I do print_r($cat) the result is: -191 (not all values). What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance
foreach($e_cats as $i => $cat) {
$e_cats[$i] = '-' . $cat;
}
You were close!

I need some more help regarding PHP Arrays and the issue I am having. I have an array like this: -
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
string(3) "100"
["id"]=>
int(46)
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
string(3) "300"
["id"]=>
int(53)
}
}
[1]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
string(3) "200"
["id"]=>
int(46)
}
}
}
However, I would like it to look more like this as array: -
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
string(3) "300" <--- This has been added from Array 1 and 2
["id"]=>
int(46)
}
[1]=>
array(2) {
["count"]=>
string(3) "300"
["id"]=>
int(53)
}
}
Basically if the same id is in both areas I want the count number to be added to each other but if it's not then it needs to just be left alone and included in the array.
I have used a number of array functions such as array_merge and array_push but I am running out of ideas of how this could work. I have also started working on a foreach with if statements but I just got myself completely confused. I just need a second pair of eyes to look at the issue and see howe it can be done.
Thanks again everyone.
Should work with something like this:
$idToCountArray = array(); //temporary array to store id => countSum
array_walk_recursive($inputArray, function($value,$key) { //walk each array in data structure
if(isset(value['id']) && isset($value['count'])) {
//we have found an entry with id and count:
if(!isset($idToCountArray[$value['id']])) {
//first count for id => create initial count
$idToCountArray[$value['id']] = intval($value['count']);
} else {
//n'th count for id => add count to sum
$idToCountArray[$value['id']] += intval($value['count']);
}
}
});
//build final structure:
$result = array();
foreach($idToCountArray as $id => $countSum) {
$result[] = array('id' => $id, 'count' => ''.$countSum);
}
Please note that I have not testet the code and there is probably a more elegant/performant solution.
You could use something like this:
$end_array = array();
function build_end_array($item, $key){
global $end_array;
if (is_array($item)){
if( isset($item["id"])){
if(isset($end_array[$item["id"]]))
$end_array[$item["id"]] = $end_array[$item["id"]] + $item["count"]*1;
else
$end_array[$item["id"]] = $item["count"]*1;
}
else {
array_walk($item, 'build_end_array');
}
}
}
array_walk($start_array, 'build_end_array');
Here is a fiddle.
Thank you ever so much everyone. I actually worked it by doing this: -
$fullArray = array_merge($live, $archive);
$array = array();
foreach($fullArray as $key=>$value) {
$id = $value['id'];
$array[$id][] = $value['count'];
}
$result = array();
foreach($array as $key=>$value) {
$result[] = array('id' => $key, 'count' => array_sum($value));
}
return $result;
This is one of those that should be easy. I'm not even sure if "subset" is the right way to describe it.
My initial array looks like this:
array(3) { [0]=> array(5) { ["id"]=> string(1) "1" ["claim_id"]=> string(1) "1" ["price"]=> string(2) "50" ["date"]=> string(19) "2013-05-15 01:58:48" ["created"]=> string(19) "2013-05-15 01:58:48" } [1]=> array(5) { ["id"]=> string(2) "11" ["claim_id"]=> string(1) "1" ["price"]=> string(2) "45" ["date"]=> string(19) "2013-05-15 03:34:59" ["created"]=> string(19) "2013-05-15 03:37:01" } [2]=> array(5) { ["id"]=> string(2) "25" ["claim_id"]=> string(1) "1" ["price"]=> string(2) "50" ["date"]=> string(19) "2013-05-15 22:47:46" ["created"]=> string(19) "2013-05-15 22:52:02" } }
I'd ultimately like to end up with just the date and price values, swap them so that date is first in the array, reformat the date, and convert it to a json array that looks something like this:
[{"date":"Mar. 15","price":"50"},{"date":"Mar. 15","price":"45"},{"date":"Mar. 15","price":"50"}]
I ran a foreach statement to get at the data and reformat the date, then went out of my league with splice, unset, and other functions that took me in the wrong direction. Any ideas?
Try this
$array = array();
for($i = 0 ; $i<count($your_array);$i++) {
$a=array();
$a['date'] = $your_array[$i]['date'];
$a['price'] = date("F .j",strtotime($your_array[$i]["date"]));
array_push($array,$a);
}
json_encode($array);
Output
[{"date":"Mar. 15","price":"50"},{"date":"Mar. 15","price":"45"},{"date":"Mar. 15","price":"50"}]
Codepad
This should get you there
$ret = array();
foreach ($source as $rec){
$ret[] = array("date"=>$rec["date"], "price"=>$rec["price"]);
}
$json = json_encode($ret);
Create a quick function to create another array with only selected elements:
function datePriceToJson($array) {
$a = array();
foreach($array as $i => $a) {
$a[] = array("date" => $a['date'], "price" => $a['price']); //Creae a new array based on the one you want
}
return json_encode($a);
}
datePriceToJson($array);
You need to reconstruct array using correct foreach and the use json_encode to get the json
$req_array = array();
foreach($youArray as $value)
{
$temp = array();
$temp['date'] = $value['date'];
$temp['price'] = $value['price'];
$req_array[] = $temp;
}
$json = json_encode($req_array);
echo $json;
see demo
Hope it helps you
$infos =array(
array("id" =>"1","price"=>"50","date"=>"2013-05-15 01:58:48"),
array("id" =>"2","price"=>"55","date"=>"2013-06-15 01:58:48")
);
$i=0;
foreach ($infos as $info )
{
$infos[$i]["date"]= date("F .j",strtotime($info["date"]));
$i++;
}
echo json_encode($infos);
I'm receiving a JSON and trying to interpret some values using PHP.
Example snippet from a JSON dump:
["11811"]=>
object(stdClass)#15 (11) {
["parent_area"]=>
NULL
["generation_high"]=>
int(19)
["all_names"]=>
object(stdClass)#16 (0) {
}
["id"]=>
int(11811)
["codes"]=>
object(stdClass)#17 (3) {
["ons"]=>
string(2) "08"
["gss"]=>
string(9) "E15000008"
["unit_id"]=>
string(5) "41421"
}
["name"]=>
string(10) "South East"
["country"]=>
string(1) "E"
["type_name"]=>
string(15) "European region"
["generation_low"]=>
int(1)
["country_name"]=>
string(7) "England"
["type"]=>
string(3) "EUR"
}
As there is lots of (nested) data, I need to obtain the value of ["name"] where ["type_name"] == 'European region'.
Thanks.
You could use array_filter()
$data_array = array(...);
function is_european($data) {
return $data->type_name == 'European region';
}
$filtered = array_filter($data_array,'is_european');
And then use filtered array to obtain values.
Maybe a better way would be to use JsonPath, like this, assuming your array is a result of decoding JSON (object):
$names = jsonPath($data_object, "$.[?(#['type_name'] == 'European region')].name");
Haven't tried this myself, it may need a bit of correction.
Try this:
<?php
$json = JSON_decode(str,true);
$arr = Array();
foreach($json as $f) {
/* eg. $f = $json["11811"] */
if($f['type_name'] == 'European region') {
$arr[] = $f['name'];
}
}
?>
I have this multidimension array in which I need to update a value. What would be the best way to do so? I tried it with 2 foreach loops but wasn't sure if that was the right approach.
Here is the array in question. I need to update the dollar amount on each sub array (i.e. add 3 to it).
array(6) { ["Ground"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "USD" [1]=> string(5) "13.63" }
["3 Day Select"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "USD" [1]=> string(5) "25.26" }
["2nd Day Air"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "USD" [1]=> string(5) "32.43" }
["Next Day Air Saver"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "USD" [1]=> string(5) "63.00" }
["Next Day Air"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "USD" [1]=> string(5) "68.65" }
["Next Day Air Early AM"]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(3) "USD" [1]=> string(6) "103.68" } }
Your foreach loop approach would be correct, unless you expect the data format to change e.g. to have more nested levels. If that were the case, then a recursive function would be best suited.
Also, if the data is expected to remain uniform, you could do this:
foreach( $my_array as $index => $row ){
$my_array[$index][1] += 3;
}
cheers!
foreach ($arr as $k=>$row) {
$arr[$k][1] = floatval($row[1]) + 3;
}
foreach ($array as &$subarray) {
foreach ($subarray as $key=>&$value) {
// do whatever you want with $value
// ...
$value = 'something else'; // example
}
}
Try this:
<?php
foreach($first_array as $first_dem_key)
$first_array[$first_dem_key][1] = $first_array[$first_dem_key][1] + 3;
?>
My last question helped me get data from a form into an array. The array is fairly different in structure to anything I've used before. I have multiple records with a textbox and checkbox each. Here is the form data:
array(4) {
["product"]=> array(4) {
[0]=> string(5) "Dummy"
[1]=> string(7) "Dummy 2"
[2]=> string(7) "Dummy 3"
[3]=> string(7) "Dummy 4"
}
["tags"]=> array(4) {
[0]=> string(25) "#enter, #product, #hastag"
[1]=> string(0) ""
[2]=> string(25) "#enter, #product, #hastag"
[3]=> string(25) "#enter, #product, #hastag"
}
["chk"]=> array(2) {
[0]=> string(2) "on"
[2]=> string(2) "on"
}
["submit"]=> string(5) "tweet"
}
I want to get the data from this array into a form such as (only if chk = "on"):
tweet[0]["product"] = "dummy"
tweet[0]["tag"] = "hash tag list here"
tweet[1]["product"] = "dummy3"
tweet[1]["tag"] = "hash tag list here"
Any help most appreciated! :)
First I'd recommend using 1 instead of on. You should try to use numerical values whenever possible as they require less processing. I think you need to readjust your HTML, so you don't do any processing on the PHP side at all...
<input type="checkbox" name="tweet[(YOUR_TWEET_ID)][product]" value="PRODUCT_NAME"/>
<input type="text" name="tweet[(YOUR_TWEET_ID)][tags]" value=""/>
This will cause the form to $_POST exactly how you want it without any additional code.
update
foreach ($_POST['tweet'] as $tweetId => $value) {
//again, it'd be a good idea to use a numerical value here
if (strlen($value['product']) > 0) {
//this tweet was checked, lets do with it what we need
//here's how you'd get the tags
echo $_POST['tweet'][$tweetId]['tags'];
}
}
$finalArray = array();
foreach($array['product'] as $key => $name){
if(!empty($array['chk'][$key])){
$finalArray[] = array(
"product" => $name,
"tag" => $array['tags'][$key]);
};
}
Pretty simple:
$i=0;
foreach ($array['chk'] as $key => $val) {
if ($val == "on") {
$new_array[$i]['product'] = $array['product'][$key];
$new_array[$i++]['tags'] = $array['tags'][$key];
}
}
print_r($new_array);
Should do it, there are other ways, this is just one of them.
foreach ($records['chk'] as $id => $temp) {
$tweet[$id]['product'] = $records['product'][$id];
$tweet[$id]['tag'] = $records['tags'][$id];
}
