removing parent array and pairing up its inner arrays values - php

Question

here is my array
$array = Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => crud_inputs[id]
[value] => id_Value
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => crud_inputs[user_id][]
[value] => userid_Value
)
[2] => Array
(
[name] => crud_inputs[details]
[value] => details_value
)
)
i want to remove parent array ( $array ) and pair the
[name]=[value]
in each inner array
i want to end up with a
crud_inputs array
i.e
$crud_inputs[id] = id_Value ;
$crud_inputs[user_id][] = userid_Value ;
$crud_inputs[details] = details_value ;
-
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AT THE END
$MY_ORM->UPDATE( $table , $crud_inputs );
this is what i wrote so far but it doesn't work , i get a empty array at the end
$crud_inputs = array();
foreach($array as $ar )
{
$$ar['name'] = $ar['value'];
}
var_dump($crud_inputs);
#Wrikken , =========================================================
this is exactly what i get as my raw array
array (size=6)
0 =>
array (size=2)
'name' => string 'crud_inputs[id]' (length=15)
'value' => string 'id_Value' (length=8)
1 =>
array (size=2)
'name' => string 'crud_inputs[user_id][]' (length=22)
'value' => string 'userid_Value' (length=3)
2 =>
array (size=2)
'name' => string 'crud_inputs[user_id][]' (length=22)
'value' => string 'userid_Value2' (length=3)
3 =>
array (size=2)
'name' => string 'implode[user_id]' (length=16)
'value' => string ',' (length=1)
4 =>
array (size=2)
'name' => string 'crud_inputs[date]' (length=18)
'value' => string 'date_value' (length=13)
5 =>
array (size=2)
'name' => string 'crud_inputs[ip]' (length=15)
'value' => string 'ip_value' (length=13)
-
and this is how i handle it
$new = array();
foreach($array as $value){
$new[$value['name']] = $value['value'];
}
$item = $new;
var_dump($item);

This what was meant as a GET or POST array? parse_str helps:
$array = ...your array...
foreach($array as &$item){
$item = array_map('urlencode',$item);
$item = implode('=',$item);
}
$string = implode('&',$array);
parse_str($string,$result);
var_dump($result);
//and if I read the rest right:
foreach($result['implode'] as $key =>$value){
$result['crudinputs'][$key] = implode($value,$result['crudinputs'][$key]);
}
Earlier on:
Bad oneliner (your colleagues will hate you):
foreach($array as &$item){
$item = call_user_func_array('array_combine',call_user_func_array('array_merge_recursive',$item));
}
Readable multiliner (everybody happy):
foreach($array as &$item){
$new = array();
foreach($item as $value){
$new[$value['name']] = $value['value'];
}
$item = $new;
}
This is assuming an array with multiple items if I read your code correctly, so like:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[name] => key0
[value] => value0
)
[1] => Array
(
[name] => key1
[value] => value1
)
[2] => Array
(
[name] => key2
[value] => value2
)
[3] => Array
(
[name] => key3
[value] => value3
)
)
[1] => Array
.... more items here
If not (you only have 1 item), you can omit the outer foreach loop in both examples.
