Associative Array display not working - php

I am trying to call an associative array and I am confused why this would not work.
if I print_r($test); it shows the following:
Array(
[e7a36fadf2410205f0768da1b61156d9] => Array(
[rowid] => e7a36fadf2410205f0768da1b61156d9
[id] => 3
[qty] => 1
[price] => 20
[name] => test
[options] => Array(
[permName] => large
)
[subtotal] => 20
)
)
but if I do $test[0]["rowid"]; it gives the following error Message: Undefined offset: 0
I am still a php newbie but from what I have learned about arrays so far this should work. Any ideas?
Thanks

Your array is associative so $test[0] doesn't exist.
$test['e7a36fadf2410205f0768da1b61156d9']['rowid']
If you want to get the first element without referencing the key you can use reset($test)
$first_element = reset($test);
$first_element['row_id'];
The two examples are functionality identical.

Your outter array seems to have the key "e7a36fadf2410205f0768da1b61156d9" - its not indexed numerically.
So you should use
$test["e7a36fadf2410205f0768da1b61156d9"]["rowid"]
You can also use array_keys if you want to find out what the first non-numerical key is

You either can use key $test['e7a36fadf2410205f0768da1b61156d9']['rowid'] as [Mike B suggested][1]. Or get first element of array with [reset()`]2:
$element = reset( $test);
$element['rowid'];
Or use array_keys() if you will need to work with those keys later (you can always get current key with key()):
$keys = array_keys( $test);
$test[ $keys[0]]['rowid'];
And if you need to browse all records in test just use foreach:
foreach( $test as $key => $item){
$item['rowid'];
}

PHP - unset array where Key is X and Value is Y

I have this type of array,
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 0
[fams] => 5
)
[1] => Array --> I want to remove this value using its index, which is "1"
(
[id] => 2
[fams] => 5
)
)
I want to remove that array [1] entirely, using its index, so the condition is - where the ID is match, for example - [id] => 2
Is that possible, to remove a particular value with that specific condition?
and without looping (or any similar method that need to loop the array)
thanks in advance!
FYI - I did try to search around, but, to be honest, I'm not sure what "keyword" do I need to use.
I did try before, but I found, array_search, array_keys - and it seems those 2 are not.
I'm okay, if we need several steps, as long as it did not use "loop" method.
---update
I forgot to mention, that I'm using old PHP 5.3.
array_filter should work fine with PHP 5.3.
The downside of this approach is that array_filter will (internally) iterate over all your array's entries, even after finding the right one (it's not a "short-circuit" approach). But at least, it's quick to write and shouldn't make much of a difference unless you're dealing with very big arrays.
Note: you should definitely upgrade your PHP version anyway!
$array = array (
0 =>
array (
'id' => 0,
'fams' => 5
),
1 =>
array (
'id' => 2,
'fams' => 5
)
);
$indexToRemove = 2;
$resultArray = array_filter($array, function ($entry) use ($indexToRemove) {
return $entry['id'] !== $indexToRemove;
});
Demo: https://3v4l.org/6DXjl
You can use array_search to find the key of a sub-array that has a matching id value (extracted using array_column), and if found, unset that element:
if (($k = array_search(2, array_column($array, 'id'))) !== false) {
unset($array[$k]);
}
print_r($array);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 0
[fams] => 5
)
)
Demo on 3v4l.org
It should be noted that although there is no explicit loop in this code, array_search and array_column both loop through the array internally.
You can use array_column to make id as index of the sub-array then use unset
$a = array_column($a, null, 'id');//new array id as index
$index = 2;// id to remove
if($a[$index]) unset($a[$index]);
print_r($a);

how to get value from array with 2 keys

i have array like
Array
(
[1] => Array
(
[user_info] => Array
(
[id] => 1
[name] => Josh
[email] => u0001#josh.com
[watched_auctions] => 150022 150031
)
[auctions] => Array
(
[150022] => Array
(
[id] => 150022
[title] => Title of auction
[end_date] => 2013-08-28 17:50:00
[price] => 10
)
[150031] => Array
(
[id] => 150031
[title] => Title of auction №
[end_date] => 2013-08-28 16:08:03
[price] => 10
)
)
)
so i need put in <td> info from [auctions] => Array where is id,title,end_date but when i do like $Info['id'] going and put id from [user_info] when i try $Info[auctions]['id'] there is return null how to go and get [auctions] info ?
Try:
foreach( $info['auctions'] as $key=>$each ){
echo ( $each['id'] );
}
Or,
foreach( $info as $key=>$each ){
foreach( $each['auctions'] as $subKey=>$subEach ){
echo ( $subEach['id'] );
}
}
Given the data structure from your question, the correct way would be for example:
$Info[1]['auctions'][150031]['id']
$array =array();
foreach($mainArray as $innerArray){
$array[] = $innerArray['auctions'];
}
foreach($array as $key=>$val){
foreach($val as $k=>$dataVal){
# Here you will get Value of particular key
echo $dataVal[$k]['id'];
}
}
Try this code
Your question is a bit malformed. I don't know if this is due to a lacking understanding of the array structure or just that you had a hard time to explain. But basically an array in PHP never has two keys. I will try to shed some more light on the topic on a basic level and hope it helps you.
Anyway, what you have is an array of arrays. And there is no difference in how you access the contents of you array containing the arrays than accessing values in an array containing integers. The only difference is that what you get if you retrieve a value from your array, is another array. That array can you then in turn access values from just like a normal array to.
You can do all of this in "one" line if you'd like. For example
echo $array[1]["user_info"]["name"]
which would print Josh
But what actually happens is no magic.
You retrieve the element at index 1 from your array. This happens to be an array so you retrieve the element at index *user_info* from that. What you get back is also an array so you retrieve the element at index name.
So this is the same as doing
$arrayElement = $array[1];
$userInfo = $arrayElement["user_info"];
$name = $userInfo["name"];
Although this is "easier" to read and debug, the amount of code it produces sometimes makes people write the more compact version.
Since you get an array back you can also do things like iterating you array with a foreach loop and within that loop iterate each array you get from each index within the first array. This can be a quick way to iterate over multidimensional array and printing or doing some action on each element in the entire structure.

Navigating a multidimensional array with dynamic

I'm trying to figure out why it is that I cannot access the follow array with this statement:
var_dump($thevar[0]['product_id']);
Array
(
[d142d425a5487967a914b6579428d64b] => Array
(
[product_id] => 253
[variation_id] =>
[variation] =>
[quantity] => 1
[data] => WC_Product Object
(
[id] => 253
[product_custom_fields] => Array
(
[_edit_last] => Array
(
[0] => 1
)
[_edit_lock] => Array
(
[0] => 1345655854:1
)
[_thumbnail_id] => Array
(
[0] => 102
)
I can, however, access the 'product_id' using the dynamically created array name:
print_r($thevar['d142d425a5487967a914b6579428d64b']['product_id']);
The issue is, I don't know what that dynamic name is going to be on the fly...
There are several options for such scenarios.
Manually iterate over the array
You can use reset, next, key and/or each to iterate over the array (perhaps partially).
For example, to grab the first item regardless of key:
$item = reset($thevar);
Reindex the array
Sometimes it's just convenient to be able to index into the array numerically, and a small performance hit is not a problem. In that case you can reindex using array_values:
$values = array_values($thevar);
$item = $values[0]; // because $values is numerically indexed
Iterate with foreach
This would work for a single value as well as it works for more, but it might give the wrong impression to readers of the code.
foreach($thevar as $item) {
// do something with $item
}
If the array key is dynamic you might find the PHP function array_keys() useful.
It will return an array of the keys used in an array. You can then use this to access a particular element in the array.
See here for more:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-keys.php
Because PHP array are associative therefor you have to access them by key.
But you may use reset($thevar) to get first item.
Or array_values():
array_values($thevar)[0]
Or if you feel like overkill you may also use array_keys() and use the [0] element to address element like this:
$thevar[ array_keys($thevar)[0]]

how to split this array

Just a quick one i need to get a value from an array the array is made like this
$resultOfAdd[“CaseAndMatterResult”][“ResultInfo”][“ReturnCode”];
and it gives an output of this
Array (
[AddCaseAndMatterResult] => Array (
[ResultInfo] => Array (
[ReturnCode] => OK
[Errors] =>
[Warnings] =>
)
[CaseID] => 4880062
[MatterID] => 4950481
[LeadID] => 0
[CustomerID] => 0
)
)
All i want to do is put the part "MatterID" into a variable. how would I achieve this.
i have tried
$matterID = array($resultOfAdd["MatterID"]);
and this does not work
Regards
This is a multi-dimensional, associative array. Think of it like floors of a building. The key MatterID does not live in the first dimension (floor), rather on the second, in the AddCaseAndMatterResult sub-array.
$matterID = $resultOfAdd['AddCaseAndMatterResult']['MatterID']
Successive dimensions of an array are specified with successive square-brackets, each naming the key to look in (this is true of most languages).
$matterID = $yourArray['AddCaseAndMatterResult']['MatterID'];
Use this way:
$matterID = $resultOfAdd['AddCaseAndMatterResult']['MatterID'];

checking to see if a vaule is in a particular key of an array

I'm new to working with arrays so I need some help. With getting just one vaule from an array. I have an original array that looks like this:
$array1= Array(
[0] => 1_31
[1] => 1_65
[2] => 29_885...)
What I'm trying to do is seach for and return just the value after the underscore. I've figured out how to get that data into a second array and return the vaules as a new array.
foreach($array1 as $key => $value){
$id = explode('_',$value);
}
which gives me:
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 31 )
Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 65 )
Array ( [0] => 29 [1] => 885 )
I can also get a list of the id's or part after the underscore by using $id[1] I'm just not sure if this is the best way and if it is how to do a search. I've tried using in_array() but that searches the whole array and I couldn't make it just search one key of the array.
Any help would be great.
If the part after underscore is unique, make it a key for new array:
$newArray = array();
foreach($array1 as $key => $value){
list($v,$k) = explode('_',$value);
$newArray[$k] = $v;
}
So you can check for key existence with isset($newArray[$mykey]), which will be more efficient.
You can use preg_grep() to grep an array:
$array1= array("1_31", "1_65", "29_885");
$num = 65;
print_r(preg_grep("/^\d+_$num$/", $array1));
Outputs:
Array
(
[1] => 1_65
)
See http://ideone.com/3Fgr8
I would say you're doing it just about as well as anyone else would.
EDIT
Alternate method:
$array1 = array_map(create_function('$a','$_ = explode("_",$a); return $_[1];'),$array1);
echo in_array(3,$array1) ? "yes" : "no"; // 3 being the example
I would have to agree. If you wish to see is a value exists in an array however just use the 'array_key_exists' function, if it returns true use the value for whatever.
