I've two arrays array1 and array2 and I want to add all elements of array2 to the end of array1. array1 contains many items.
The keys are numeric and I don't want this syntax:
array1 = array1 + array2
or
array1 = SomeArrayFun(array1,array2)
As it takes away CPU times ( as array is created twice )
What I want is:
array1 . SomeAddFun(array2); // This will not create any new arrays
Is there any way to do it?
If you'd like to append data to an existing array you should se array_splice.
With the proper arguments you'll be able to insert/append the contents of $array2 into $array1, as in the below example.
$array1 = array (1,2,3);
$array2 = array (4,5,6);
array_splice ($array1, count ($array1), 0, $array2);
print_r ($array1);
output:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => 5
[5] => 6
)
You might use ArrayObject with the append function:
$arrayobj = new ArrayObject(array('first','second','third'));
$arrayobj->append('fourth');
Result:
object(ArrayObject)#1 (5) {
[0]=>
string(5) "first"
[1]=>
string(6) "second"
[2]=>
string(5) "third"
[3]=>
string(6) "fourth"
}
Don't know for appending arrays though, as they seem to be appended as a "subarray" and not as part of the whole.

I am simply trying to turn this:
Array
(
[0] => 20200330
[1] => 20200329
[2] => 20200328
)
Into this and I am having an extremely hard time
Array
(
20200330,
0200329,
20200328,
)
All arrays in PHP have a unique key for each value within that array.
By default they are 0, 1, 2, 3, etc unless you explicitly set them (e.g. $a = ['key' => 1234];).
It is possible to "remove" keys (set to default without impacting the order) through the use of the array_values() function:
$a = ['a' => 123, 'b' => 321];
$a = array_values($a);
print_r($a); // [0 => 123, 1 => 321]
But it is not possible to entirely remove the keys from an array.
Arrays are by default associated with numbers starting from 0
<?php
$arr=array("String1","String2","Something else");
var_dump($arr);
?>
Output will be:
array(3) {
[0]=>
string(7) "String1"
[1]=>
string(7) "String2"
[2]=>
string(14) "Something else"
}
So if you want to access element of array you type $arr[index] and index is number by default
first array
[0]=> Brian
[1]=> A
[2]=> Leo
[3]=> A
[4]=> Mike
second array
[0]=> 1
[1]=> 2
[2]=> 3
[3]=> 4
[4]=> 5
I want to check if in first array there are duplicates, if yes, save only the first occurrence of that value, the other removes, remember those keys, and delete them from the second array too. In the end i want to have
first array
[0]=> Brian
[1]=> A
[2]=> Leo
[3]=> Mike
second array
[0]=> 1
[1]=> 2
[2]=> 3
[3]=> 5
I tried with this but second array does not have duplicates so it won't work for both array:
array_values(array_unique($array));
You did
array_values(array_unique($array));
This will give unique values of $array, but you won't find which index of second array needs to be unset.
Approach #1:
Your best shot is a simple for loop with an isset check. If we find the value already present in our $set(a new temp array), we unset that index from both original arrays, else we preserve it.
Snippet:
<?php
$arr1 = [
'Brian',
'A',
'Leo',
'A',
'Mike'
];
$arr2 = [
1,2,3,4,5
];
$set = [];
foreach($arr1 as $key => $value){
if(!isset($set[$value])) $set[$value] = true;
else{
unset($arr1[$key]); // foreach creates a copy of $arr1, so safe to unset
unset($arr2[$key]);
}
}
print_r($arr1);
print_r($arr2);
Demo: https://3v4l.org/BQ9mA
Approach #2:
If you don't like for loops, you can use array wrappers to do this. You can use array_combine to make first array values as keys and second array values as arrays. Note that this would only preserve the latest key value pairs, so we do a array_reverse to only maintain first occurrence pairs.
Snippet:
<?php
$arr1 = [
'Brian',
'A',
'Leo',
'A',
'Mike'
];
$arr2 = [
1,2,3,4,5
];
$filtered_data = array_combine(array_reverse($arr1),array_reverse($arr2));
print_r(array_keys($filtered_data));
print_r(array_values($filtered_data));

This simply builds a temp array using the values from your 2 arrays.
Because we use values of $a1 as the key, dups get overwritten and therefore lost. The array_keys_exists() check makes sure the first Dup is used and not subsequent dups. Then we just split the array into the two input arrays.
$a1 = ['Brian', 'A', 'Leo', 'A', 'Mike'];
$a2 = [1,2,3,4,5];
#temp array created using values of $a1 as key so dups get dropped because they are reused
foreach ($a1 as $i=>$a) {
if ( ! array_key_exists($a, $new)){
$new[$a] = $a2[$i];
}
}
$a1 = array_keys($new);
$a2 = array_values($new);
print_r($a1);
print_r($a2);
RESULT:
Array
(
[0] => Brian
[1] => A
[2] => Leo
[3] => Mike
)
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 5
)
Please note that array_unique preserves keys so you can easily use it to filter the second array too:
$firstArray = array_unique($firstArray);
$secondArray = array_intersect_key($secondArray, $firstArray);
var_dump(array_values($firstArray), array_values($secondArray));
From the docs of array_unique:
Note that keys are preserved. If multiple elements compare equal under the given sort_flags, then the key and value of the first equal element will be retained.
in my POST variable i have: print_r($_POST["partecipanti"]);
It displays
["1", "2"]
I want to save only the numbers of the post variable in an int array. I tried
$array = array();
preg_match_all('/-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?+/', $_POST["partecipanti"], $array);
But print_r($array) returns
Array (
[0] => Array (
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
)
)
How can i have a variable like
Array (
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
)
Hope i explained good, thanks all in advance
preg_match_all returns a new multidimensional array every time. But you could just "pop" the array:
$array = array();
preg_match_all('/-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?+/', $_POST["partecipanti"], $array);
$array = $array[0];
Returns:
Array (
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
)
to filter integer values from an array, use array_filter
$arr = array_filter($_POST["participanti"], function($v) { return is_int($v); });
In case you want to convert the array values into integers:
$arr = array_map(function($v) { return (int)$v; }, $_POST["participanti"]);
In both cases the $arr contains only integer values.
Assuming $_POST["partecipanti"]) is a string because you use it directly in your example and the second parameter of preg_match_all is a string.
preg_match_all returns an array where the matches are in the first entry and contains array of strings. You could get that array by using $array[0] .
Besides 1 and 2, your regex -?\d+(?:\.\d+)?+ also matches for example -8.44 or 99999999999999999999999999.
If you want an array of int, you could use array_map with for example the function intval for the callback.
Note the maximum size of an int and the rounding of the values.
For example:
$str = "test 1, test 2, test 2.3 and -8.44 plus 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999";
preg_match_all('/-?\d+(?:\.\d+)?/', $str, $array);
$array = array_map/**/("intval", $array[0]);
var_dump($array);
Demo
That results in:
array(5) {
[0]=>
int(1)
[1]=>
int(2)
[2]=>
int(2)
[3]=>
int(-8)
[4]=>
int(9223372036854775807)
}
I have to insert some data from an excel document into the database.
The data has been saved as .csv and then added into an array through PHP.
The data look like:
Column A Column B Column C
100 200 100
50 10 100
200 200 100
30 10 300
Then I use this to separate each columns (within a foreach loop)
list( $columnA, $columnB) = explode( ',', $values[0] );
$columnA= array($columnA);
print_r($columnA);
The above code prints the values of each column.
So I'm trying to find a way to remove duplicates from each column and then from each row (no matter what the column name is). I want to remove duplicates from the whole document. For the data I posted for example I just need the values 100,200,50,10,30,300 (only the unique values from the whole doc).
UPDATE:
What the original array (the one I've created by using for loop and passing all data from .CSV file) shows:
Array ( [0] => G2100,100%,,,,,,,,,200,0.24,77,51,2,47, )
Array ( [0] => G2101,100%,,,,,,,,,200,0.24,77,42,15,43, )
Array ( [0] => G2102,30%,,,,,,,,,200,0.24,77,38,25,37, )
So by using the list function I mentioned before I split all columns and get the values for each column. THEN if i print $columnB array for example it shows this:
Array ( [0] => 100%) Array ( [0] => 100%) Array ( [0] => 30%)
and so on. When I use unique_array it does nothing.
$columnB = array_unique($columnB, SORT_REGULAR);
I tried to use array_map but it doesn't work either.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't understand why does array_unique not works in your case, because actually it solves the problem:
<?php
$columnA = array(50,50,200,10);
$columnB = array(100,50,200,100);
$columnC = array(150,50,250);
$merged = array_merge($columnA, $columnB, $columnC);
$result = array_unique($merged);
var_dump($result);
?>
And output is:
array(6) {
[0]=>
int(50)
[2]=>
int(200)
[3]=>
int(10)
[4]=>
int(100)
[8]=>
int(150)
[10]=>
int(250)
}
This is an trivial example, but if you can manage that your inputs are like arrays above, then you can use array_unique to have only unique values...
EDIT 1:
To remove % sign from string just use rtrim where is needed:
$string = '100%';
$trimmed = (int)rtrim($string,'%');//make it int(or float if you like)
var_dump($trimmed);
EDIT 2:
Related to looping through arrays:
//I suppose this
//Array ( [0] => 100%) Array ( [0] => 100%) Array ( [0] => 30%)
//maps to this
$columnA = array(
0=>array('100%'),
1=>array('100%'),
2=>array('30%')
);
//go through every element
$temp = array();
foreach($columnA as $subArray){
//in this case when we know that there is only one element in the array we can do next:
$temp[] = $subArray[0];
}
$result = array_unique($temp);
echo "<pre>";
var_dump($result);
echo "</pre>";
And this would be the output:
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(4) "100%"
[2]=>
string(3) "30%"
}
I have an associative array which when var dumped looks like this:
Array
(
[tumblr] => Array
(
[type] => tumblr
[url] => http://tumblr.com/
)
[twitter] => Array
(
[type] => twitter
[url] => https://twitter.com/
)
)
As you can see the key's are custom "tumblr" and "twitter" and not numeric 0 and 1.
Some times I need to get the values by the custom keys and sometimes I need to get values by numeric keys.
Is there anyy way I can get $myarray[0] to output:
(
[type] => tumblr
[url] => http://tumblr.com/
)
You can run the array through array_values():
$myarray = array_values( $myarray);
Now your array looks like:
array(2) {
[0]=>
array(2) {
["type"]=>
string(6) "tumblr"
["url"]=>
string(18) "http://tumblr.com/"
} ...
This is because array_values() will only grab the values from the array and reset / reorder / rekey the array as a numeric array.
You can use array_values to get a copy of the array with numeric indexes.
