How to extract the value form the below array? - php

I have a array like this.
Array (
[0] => PHP
[1] => ROR
[2] => Python
[3] => JAVA
)
Array (
[0] => WP
[1] => Drupal
[2] => Joomla
[3] => SpreeCommerce
)
Array (
[0] => N2CMS
[1] => Life Ray
[2] => Magento
[3] => Zen Cart
)
Here i need the the above array extract to this below format, the first array use like as column part and others array are use the columns value.
PHP = WP
ROR = Drupal
Python = Joomla
JAVA = SpreeCommerce
PHP = N2CMS
ROR = Life Ray
Python = Magento
JAVA = Zen Cart

Give a a try to array_combine()

Rough code, assuming all array have same length.
$array1=array("PHP","ROR","Python","Java");
$array2=array("WP","Drupal","Joomla","SpreeCommerce");
$array3=array("N2CMS","Life Ray","Magento","Zen Cart");
for($i=0;$i<count($array1);$i++){
echo $array1[$i]."=".$array2[$i]."<br>";
}
for($i=0;$i<count($array1);$i++){
echo $array1[$i]."=".$array3[$i]."<br>";
}

I would do it in a simple function like this:
function mergerArray($array1, $array2)
{
$retArray = array();
// assumes that both are arrays and of equal length.
for($i=0; $$i<count($array1); $i++)
{
$retArray[$array1[$i]]=$array2[$i];
}
return $retArray;
}
$mergedArray=mergerArray($keyMakingArray, $dataHoldingArray);
print_r($mergedArray);
Make sure to do all your checking of inputs before processing - ie, same number of elements, right data etc etc. I am not going to do that for you, this should be a good start allowing you as much flexibility as you need.

PHP arrays within an array - nested arrays PHP

I'm using ACF Pro plugin for Wordpress and use repeater fields.
With this code I get all the field values and additional info in an array:
$fields = get_field_object('slideshow');
With this code I can narrow it down to what I want to achieve:
print_r($fields[value];
By now I get this array below:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[videoWebm] => /wc/data/uploads/sea.webm
[videoMp4] => /wc/data/uploads/sea1.mp4
[text] => Test1
[kund] => Kund1
[link1] =>
[link2] =>
)
[1] => Array
(
[videoWebm] => /wc/data/uploads/turntable.webm
[videoMp4] => /wc/data/uploads/turntable.mp4
[text] => Test2
[kund] => Kund2
[link1] =>
[link2] =>
)
)
it can grow more - like [2] => Array, [3] => Array etc.
I want to access all videoWebm & videoMp4 values.
As of now I know how to access a specific value - for example:
print_r($fields[value][0][videoWebm]);
But I can't figure out how to access all of them and put them in two new arrays. One for videoWebm values and one for videoMp4 values. The problem for me is the index value when I try to loop thru the array. I don't know if this really is the way to go...
Anyone suggestions?
Best, Niklas
You can use foreach:
foreach ($fields[value] as $field) {
$videoWebms[] = $field['videoWebm']
$videoMp4s[] = $field['videoMp4'];
}
Or as splash58 said, use array_column:
$vieoWebms = array_column($fields[value], 'videoWebm');
$vieoMp4s = array_column($fields[value], 'videoMp4');
I would highly recommend you learn about php's foreach, it is very powerful and widely used (maybe a little too widely).
https://www.google.com/search?q=php%20foreach
To get the value from repeater use this :
$slides = get_field('slideshow');
if($slides){
foreach($slides as $slide){
echo $slide['videoWebm'];
echo $slide['text'];
echo $slide['kund]'];
echo $slide['link1'];
echo $slide['link2'];
}
}

Comparing arrays until I have a unique array

I have the following multidimensional array called $existing_combinations
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[1] => 6
[2] => 7
[3] => 9
)
[1] => Array
(
[1] => 1
[2] => 21
[3] => 9
)
[2] => Array
(
[1] => 1
[2] => 7
[3] => 9
)
)
I then generate a new array ($new_combination) which has a combination of the same set of values. Example:
Array
(
[1] => 6
[2] => 21
[3] => 9
)
I then test if $new_combination exists in $existing_combinations with the following in the hope that I will end with a unique combination in $new_combination:
foreach($existing_combinations as $key => $combination){
while($new_combination == $combination){
$new_combination = generateNewCombination();
}
}
The problem is that if $new_combination matches an array that is not at index 0, then when I generate a new combination I am at risk of this matching a $combination that has already been tested against (and will not be tested again).
Sorry if this is a simple one but I'm struggling to think of how I can ensure $new_combination will always end up unique.
Any ideas?
Thanks
You can use in_array in this case, because php compares arrays as value. So, the code can be:
while(in_array($new_combination = generateNewCombination(), $existing_combinations));
print_r($new_combination);
I wrote the below before realizing that in_array can also see if an array exists within an array. So you can simply do this:
if (!in_array($new_combination, $existing_combinations)) {
// It's unique.
}
In the below outdated bit, see the note on using sort, if a different sequence of the same numbers isn't considered unique for your purposes.
[ For Entertainment ]
May not be the most elegant way around, but I would simply do this to keep it simple:
$combo_hashes = [];
// Implode the existing combos into strings.
foreach($existing as $vals) {
$combo_hashes[] = implode(':', $vals);
}
Then, all you need to check with your new combo is:
// Check if the "hash"-string already exists.
if (!in_array( implode(':', $new_combo), $combo_hashes)) {
// ... and we're unique.
}
This presumes that you consider [1,3,2] different from [2,1,3]. If they are equivalent (I don't know what your use case is), you should sort($vals); before you generate the check-strings.
Merge all the second level arrays and run array_unique() to get rid of the duplicate values.

How to change variable names inside array php

Ok so I have been struggling with this for hours now and I cannot seem to figure out what I'm trying to do. I have an array with many percent values placed inside and I'm printing out the first 5 of them. The $percent variables are acquired through similar_text
$array=array($percent12, $percent13, $percent14,
$percent15, $percent16, $percent17,
$percent18, $percent19, $percent110,
$percent111, $percent112, $percent113,
$percent114, $percent115, $percent116,
$percent117, $percent118, $percent119,
$percent120);
print_r(array_slice($array,0,5));
and it outputs like this:
Array ( [0] => 36.015505697169 [1] => 2.4181626187962 [2] => 2.4181626187962 [3] => 5.2153134902083 [4] => 100 )
So what i'm trying to figure out here is if it's possible to print the results of my array as they are listed above. example output would look like this:
Array ( [percent12] => 36.015505697169 [percent13] => 2.4181626187962 [percent14] => 2.4181626187962 [percent15] => 5.2153134902083 [percent16] => 100 )
i feel like this isn't possible, but if not, is there a way to assign the
[0]=> 36.015505697169 [1]=> 2.4181626187962
...etc to output something else say like:
[web0]=> 36.015505697169 [web1] => 2.4181626187962
Please help!! It's driving me crazy!!
You need to make it an associative array:
$array=array('percent12' => $percent12,
'percent13' => $percent13,
...);
I recommend using array_combine()
Basically you're just going to setup your new array with the keys, and pass in your current array for the values, thus creating a new array with the keys you want in the right place.
Try like
$myArr = array_slice($array,0,5);
$i = 0;
foreach($myArr as $key => $value) {
$newArr['web'.$i++] = $value;
}
print_r($newArr);

PHP - Remove items from an array with given parameter

I've searched around and I found some similar questions asked, but none that really help me (as my PHP abilities aren't quite enough to figure it out). I'm thinking that my question will be simple enough to answer, as the similar questions I found were solved with one or two lines of code. So, here goes!
I have a bit of code that searches the contents of a given directory, and provides the files in an array. This specific directory only has .JPG image files named like this:
Shot01.jpg
Shot01_tn.jpg
so on and so forth. My array gives me the file names in a way where I can use the results directly in an tag to be displayed on a site I'm building. However, I'm having a little trouble as I want to limit my array to not return items if they contain "_tn", so I can use the thumbnail that links to the full size image. I had thought about just not having thumbnails and resizing the images to make the PHP easier for me to do, but that feels like giving up to me. So, does anyone know how I can do this? Here's the code that I have currently:
$path = 'featured/';
$newest = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS));
$array = iterator_to_array($newest);
foreach($array as $fileObject):
$filelist = str_replace("_tn", "", $fileObject->getPathname());
echo $filelist . "<br>";
endforeach;
I attempted to use a str_replace(), but I now realize that I was completely wrong. This returns my array like this:
Array
(
[0] => featured/Shot01.jpg
[1] => featured/Shot01.jpg
[2] => featured/Shot02.jpg
[3] => featured/Shot02.jpg
[4] => featured/Shot03.jpg
[5] => featured/Shot03.jpg
)
I only have 3 images (with thumbnails) currently, but I will have more, so I'm also going to want to limit the results from the array to be a random 3 results. But, if that's too much to ask, I can figure that part out on my own I believe.
So there's no confusion, I want to completely remove the items from the array if they contain "_tn", so my array would look something like this:
Array
(
[0] => featured/Shot01.jpg
[2] => featured/Shot02.jpg
[4] => featured/Shot03.jpg
)
Thanks to anyone who can help!
<?php
function filtertn($var)
{
return(!strpos($var,'_tn'));
}
$array = Array(
[0] => featured/Shot01.jpg
[1] => featured/Shot01_tn.jpg
[2] => featured/Shot02.jpg
[3] => featured/Shot02_tn.jpg
[4] => featured/Shot03.jpg
[5] => featured/Shot03_tn.jpg
);
$filesarray=array_filter($array, "filtertn");
print_r($filesarray);
?>
Just use stripos() function to check if filename contains _tn string. If not, add to array.
Use this
<?php
$array = Array(
[0] => featured/Shot01.jpg
[1] => featured/Shot01_tn.jpg
[2] => featured/Shot02.jpg
[3] => featured/Shot02_tn.jpg
[4] => featured/Shot03.jpg
[5] => featured/Shot03_tn.jpg
)
foreach($array as $k=>$filename):
if(strpos($filename,"_tn")){
unset($array[$k]);
}
endforeach;
Prnt_r($array);
//OutPut will be you new array removed all name related _tn files
$array = Array(
[0] => featured/Shot01.jpg
[2] => featured/Shot02.jpg
[4] => featured/Shot03.jpg
)
?>
I can't understand what is the problem? Is it required to add "_tn" to array? Just check "_tn" existence and don't add this element to result array.
Try strpos() to know if filename contains string "_tn" or not.. if not then add filename to array
$path = 'featured/';
$newest = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($path, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS));
$array = iterator_to_array($newest);
$filesarray = array();
foreach($array as $fileObject):
// Check - string contains "_tn" substring or not
if(!strpos($fileObject->getPathname(), "_tn")){
// Check - value already exists in array or not
if(!in_array($fileObject->getPathname(), $filesarray)){
$filesarray[] = $fileObject->getPathname();
}
}
endforeach;
print_r($filesarray);

Foreach and unset()

Ran into a little snag and wondering if there is a "best practices" way around it.
So I just learned that "A php foreach will execute on the entire array regardless. Test unsetting a value that is next in iteration. It will iterate on the offset, but the value will be null. – Kevin Peno Dec 22 '09 at 21:31" from How do you remove an array element in a foreach loop?
It's the first part of that that is messing with me. I'm iterating through an array with foreach. It's a search function so I'm removing the element I just searched for, so when the loop runs again its minus that element.
I do NOT want to reindex if at all possible, although if I have to I can.
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => a
[1] => aa
[2] => aaa
)
[1] => Array
(
[0] => b
[1] => bb
[2] => bbb
)
[2] => Array
(
[0] => c
[1] => cc
[2] => ccc
)
[3] => Array
(
[0] => d
[1] => dd
[2] => ddd
)
)
foreach($array as $key=>$value) {
$searchresult[] = search function returns various other keys from array
foreach($searchresult as $deletionid) {
unset($array[$deletionid]);
}
}
So on the first iteration it uses $array[0] obviously but the $searchresults might return 4,5,6,7. So those keys are removed from $array.
Yet the foreach loop still iterates through those and gives me back a bunch of empty arrays.
I did read How does PHP 'foreach' actually work? and I get some of it.
Thanks
In my opinion, the best way to remove array elements based on indexes is to use the array_* set of functions, like array_diff and array_intersect (or array_diff_key and array_intersect_key in your situation).
$indexes_to_remove = array(2,3,4);
$indexes_to_remove = array_flip($indexes_to_remove);
$array = array_diff_key($array,$indexes_to_remove);
If the array is guaranteed to be exhausted at some point, you can use this:
while (true) {
$searchresult[] = search function returns various other keys from array
foreach($searchresult as $deletionid) {
unset($array[$deletionid]);
}
if (count($array) === 0) {
break;
}
}
And yes I know while (true) is pretty evil, but I find in cases like these it does exactly what is needed.
If you want to prevent it from infinite looping you could always add a variable, increment each iteration, and break when it reaches a high value that should never happen (like 10 * count($array))
