Arrays into new PHP file [duplicate] - php

Question

This might be very silly but we have not been able to do this .
We are trying to insert an array into a php file . However we are able to insert the array into a php file but the format is not as desired . We have 2 files .
File1.php
<?php
include_once("../dc/dcCommonLib.php");
include_once("../dc/persistence/UserData.php");
require_once("../../lib/include/connect.inc.php");
$_SESSION["survey"] = "BestBuyAug2012";
$idLink = dbconnect($_SESSION["survey"]);
$surveyWidget = rendererSurveyLoadHandler();
setDataToSession("surveywidget",$surveyWidget);
$userData = &UserData::getInstance();
$userData->setSurvey($surveyWidget);
saveFkidsToOidToFkidMappingArray($userData->OidToFkidMapping);
// prepare demo array
prepareItemArray($userData->OidToFkidMapping["Demographic"]["Q"],$demo,"b");
// prepare item array
prepareItemArray($userData->OidToFkidMapping["Default"]["Q"],$item,"i");
prepareItemArray($userData->OidToFkidMapping["Default"]["M"],$item,"i");
// prepare comment array
prepareCommentArray($userData->OidToFkidMapping["Comment"]["C"],$comment);
if(!function_exists('file_put_contents')) {
function file_put_contents($filename, $data,$type, $file_append = false) {
$fp = fopen($filename, (!$file_append ? 'w+' : 'a+'));
if(!$fp) {
trigger_error('file_put_contents cannot write in file.', E_USER_ERROR);
return;
}
if($type){
$count = count($data);
$i = 1;
//loop through your type array and append comma , to each except last
foreach($data as $key=>$val) {
//if we are before last key, append comma
if($i < $count)
$data[$key] .= ',';
$i++;
}
//run same preg_replace as before
$data2 = preg_replace('/[\[\]]/','"',print_r($data,TRUE));
//write to file
fputs($fp, "$" . $type . " = " . print_r($data2,TRUE));
} else {
fputs($fp, print_r($data, TRUE));
}
fclose($fp);
}
}
print("Strart writting ...................");
file_put_contents("staticSurveyDataFileTest.php", "<?php\n","",true);

function prepareItemArray($userDataArray, &$item, $itemStr) {

$selectionGrp=array_unique($respGrp);
if(count($selectionGrp)==1) {
$respGrpId=key($respGrp);
$respId = key($respGrp[$respGrpId]);
$item[$questId."_".key($respGrp)]=$itemStr.$respGrp[$respGrpId][$respId];
}else {
foreach ($respGrp as $respGrpId=>$resp) {
$respGrp[$respGrpId]=$itemStr.$resp;
}
$item[$questId."_".key($respGrp)]=$respGrp;
}
}
}
}
function prepareCommentArray($userDataArray, &$item) {
if(is_array($userDataArray)) {
foreach($userDataArray as $questId=>$respGrp) {
$selectionGrp=array_unique($respGrp);
if(count($selectionGrp)==1) {
$respGrpId=key($respGrp);
$item[$questId."_".key($respGrp)]=$respGrp[$respGrpId]["fk_id"];
}
}
}
}
?>
The array from this file is inserted into staticSurveyDataFileTest.php
staticSurveyDataFileTest.php

We need to insert a file something like this

Thanks for your help in advance :)

Answer 1

You can use something like this:
<?php
$a = array (1, 2, array ("a", "b", "c"));
var_export($a);
?>
And this outputs:
array (
0 => 1,
1 => 2,
2 =>
array (
0 => 'a',
1 => 'b',
2 => 'c',
),
)
Check out the documentation at http://php.net/manual/fr/function.var-export.php

Answer 2

Code for the desired output:
<?php
$result = array_merge($itemFkids, $demoFkids, $commentFkids);
var_export($result);
?>
Outputs:
<?php
$itemFkids = Array
(
"203_19" => "i27",
"207_22" => "i28",
"357_22" => "i99",
.
.
.
),
$demoFkids = Array
(
"129_2" => "b1"
),
$commentFkids = Array
(
"373_375" => "1",
"380_382" => "2"
),
?>
Cannot reliably say until we work with the full code! :)

Answer 3

try using the php function var_export

Answer 4

Even trying this is worth:
<?php
class A
{
public $var1;
public $var2;
public static function __set_state($an_array)
{
$obj = new A;
$obj->var1 = $an_array['var1'];
$obj->var2 = $an_array['var2'];
return $obj;
}
}
$a = new A;
$a->var1 = 5;
$a->var2 = 'foo';
eval('$b = ' . var_export($a, true) . ';'); // $b = A::__set_state(array(
// 'var1' => 5,
// 'var2' => 'foo',
// ));
var_dump($b);
?>
The output of the above is:
object(A)#2 (2) {
["var1"]=>
int(5)
["var2"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
