Merging array for parent category in Cakephp

Merging array for parent category in Cakephp - php

I want to be able to group SpecificationCategory.name as parent category and Specifications under as children so that SpecificationCategory.name does not get repeated in the array.
Is there a way to do this in Cake?
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[Specification] => Array
(
[id] => 15
[name] => AMD Phenom
[specification_category_id] => 1
[subsubcategory_id] => 1
[created] => 2012-10-16 08:18:27
[modified] => 2012-10-16 08:18:27
)
[SpecificationCategory] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Processor Type
[created] => 2012-10-15 13:50:03
[modified] => 2012-10-15 13:50:03
)
[Subsubcategory] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Laptops
[subcategory_id] => 1
[created] => 2012-06-24 02:23:40
[modified] => 2012-06-24 02:23:40
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[Specification] => Array
(
[id] => 12
[name] => AMD E350
[specification_category_id] => 1
[subsubcategory_id] => 1
[created] => 2012-10-16 08:18:02
[modified] => 2012-10-16 08:18:02
)
[SpecificationCategory] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Processor Type
[created] => 2012-10-15 13:50:03
[modified] => 2012-10-15 13:50:03
)
[Subsubcategory] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Laptops
[subcategory_id] => 1
[created] => 2012-06-24 02:23:40
[modified] => 2012-06-24 02:23:40
)
)
)

If your just trying to get a listing by SpecificationCategory I would just do the find from that model and the array would list all Specifications under each category. This assumes Specifications hasMany SpecificationCategory.

Make a sub array based on main array value

I have two arrays first array is main comment and second array is sub comment.
1st Array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[comment] => Nice Blog
[parent_id] => 0
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Shaishav Desai
[image_path] => 067da3ff3b891981caa5b5d98c44052c.png
[cnt] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[comment] => Awesome blog
[parent_id] => 0
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Lead1 Assistant
[image_path] => 099dbe4c58606a3abf867d821e62fdf9.png
[cnt] => 2
)
)
2nd Array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[comment] => Yes, Really good
[parent_id] => 2
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Shaishav Desai
[image_path] => 067da3ff3b891981caa5b5d98c44052c.png
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[comment] => Thank you
[parent_id] => 2
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Lead1 Assistant
[image_path] => 099dbe4c58606a3abf867d821e62fdf9.png
)
)
Now we need an array like this with a single array based on "parent_id" and "id":
I want new array like this :
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[comment] => Nice Blog
[parent_id] => 0
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Shaishav Desai
[image_path] => 067da3ff3b891981caa5b5d98c44052c.png
[cnt] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[comment] => Awesome blog
[parent_id] => 0
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Lead1 Assistant
[image_path] => 099dbe4c58606a3abf867d821e62fdf9.png
[cnt] => 2
[sub_comment] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[comment] => Yes, Really good
[parent_id] => 2
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Shaishav Desai
[image_path] => 067da3ff3b891981caa5b5d98c44052c.png
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[comment] => Thank you
[parent_id] => 2
[created] => 2018-02-20 00:00:00
[user_title] => Lead1 Assistant
[image_path] => 099dbe4c58606a3abf867d821e62fdf9.png
)
)
)
)
So I can easily know this comment have sub comment and display based on new array.
Would you please let me know is it possible or not ?
Thanks in advance.

// Suppose $array1 is firts array;
// $array2 is second array
foreach($array2 as $subary){
$cnt=0;
foreach($array1 as $key=> $mainary){
if($subary['parent_id']==$mainary['id']){
$array1[$key]['sub_comment']=$subary;
}
}
}
print_r($array1);

Convert flat PHP array to multidimensional array

I have the following array structure:
[parents] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[user_id] => 1
[created] => 2014-11-09 13:47:37
[content] => This is a test discussion
[status] => 1

[project_id] => 1

)
)
[children] => Array

[content] => 8765432
[status] => 1
[parent] => 4
[project_id] => 1
)
)
I would like to merge them into a parent/child relationship so it looks like follows:
[parents] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[user_id] => 1
[created] => 2014-11-09 13:47:37
[content] => This is a test discussion
[status] => 1
[parent] => 0
[project_id] => 1
[children] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 2
[user_id] => 1
[created] => 2014-11-09 13:47:53
[content] => This is a test reply....
[status] => 1
[parent] => 1
[project_id] => 1
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[user_id] => 1
[created] => 2014-11-09 13:48:13
[content] => This is a test reply....!!!
[status] => 1
[parent] => 1
[project_id] => 1
)
)
)
)
How could I go about doing that with PHP?

Assuming that all ids are unique in your parents array, you can do this:
// build a new array using parent's ID values as the key,
// to simplify searching for parent IDs.
foreach ($parents as $key => $value){
$merged[$value['id']] = $value;
}
foreach ($children as $child){
$parentID = $child['parent'];
if (array_key_exists( $parentID, $merged )) {
// add the child array to its parent's ['children'] value
$merged[$parentID]['children'][] = $child;
}
}
In the resulting array $merged, the key of each parent item will be set to its id, and all children will be nested under their corresponding parents.

CakePHP Threaded "Find" with Associated Models

I was taking a slightly wrong approach for what I was trying to accomplish. While I still think this should be possible from my EventsController class, I elected to make it in the EventsPromotersController HABTM class. The code is much simpler using this method
class EventsPromotersController extends AppController {
public function event($event_id = null) {
$options = array('conditions' => array('event_id' => $event_id));
$promoters = $this->EventsPromoter->find('threaded', $options);
$this->set('promoters', $promoters);
}
}
