Take a look at this code:
$GET = array();
$key = 'one=1';
$rule = explode('=', $key);
/* array_push($GET, $rule[0] => $rule[1]); */
I'm looking for something like this so that:
print_r($GET);
/* output: $GET[one => 1, two => 2, ...] */
Is there a function to do this? (because array_push won't work this way)
Nope, there is no array_push() equivalent for associative arrays because there is no way determine the next key.
You'll have to use
$arrayname[indexname] = $value;
Pushing a value into an array automatically creates a numeric key for it.
When adding a key-value pair to an array, you already have the key, you don't need one to be created for you. Pushing a key into an array doesn't make sense. You can only set the value of the specific key in the array.
// no key
array_push($array, $value);
// same as:
$array[] = $value;
// key already known
$array[$key] = $value;
You can use the union operator (+) to combine arrays and keep the keys of the added array. For example:
<?php
$arr1 = array('foo' => 'bar');
$arr2 = array('baz' => 'bof');
$arr3 = $arr1 + $arr2;
print_r($arr3);
// prints:
// array(
// 'foo' => 'bar',
// 'baz' => 'bof',
// );
So you could do $_GET += array('one' => 1);.
There's more info on the usage of the union operator vs array_merge in the documentation at http://php.net/manual/en/function.array-merge.php.
I wonder why the simplest method hasn't been posted yet:
$arr = ['company' => 'Apple', 'product' => 'iPhone'];
$arr += ['version' => 8];
I would like to add my answer to the table and here it is :
//connect to db ...etc
$result_product = /*your mysql query here*/
$array_product = array();
$i = 0;
foreach ($result_product as $row_product)
{
$array_product [$i]["id"]= $row_product->id;
$array_product [$i]["name"]= $row_product->name;
$i++;
}
//you can encode the array to json if you want to send it to an ajax call
$json_product = json_encode($array_product);
echo($json_product);
hope that this will help somebody
Exactly what Pekka said...
Alternatively, you can probably use array_merge like this if you wanted:
array_merge($_GET, array($rule[0] => $rule[1]));
But I'd prefer Pekka's method probably as it is much simpler.
I was just looking for the same thing and I realized that, once again, my thinking is different because I am old school. I go all the way back to BASIC and PERL and sometimes I forget how easy things really are in PHP.
I just made this function to take all settings from the database where their are 3 columns. setkey, item (key) & value (value) and place them into an array called settings using the same key/value without using push just like above.
Pretty easy & simple really
// Get All Settings
$settings=getGlobalSettings();
// Apply User Theme Choice
$theme_choice = $settings['theme'];
.. etc etc etc ....
function getGlobalSettings(){
$dbc = mysqli_connect(wds_db_host, wds_db_user, wds_db_pass) or die("MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error());
mysqli_select_db($dbc, wds_db_name) or die("MySQL Error: " . mysqli_error());
$MySQL = "SELECT * FROM systemSettings";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $MySQL);
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result))
{
$settings[$row['item']] = $row['value']; // NO NEED FOR PUSH
}
mysqli_close($dbc);
return $settings;
}
So like the other posts explain... In php there is no need to "PUSH" an array when you are using
Key => Value
AND... There is no need to define the array first either.
$array=array();
Don't need to define or push. Just assign $array[$key] = $value; It is automatically a push and a declaration at the same time.
I must add that for security reasons, (P)oor (H)elpless (P)rotection, I means Programming for Dummies, I mean PHP.... hehehe I suggest that you only use this concept for what I intended. Any other method could be a security risk. There, made my disclaimer!
This is the solution that may useful for u
Class Form {
# Declare the input as property
private $Input = [];
# Then push the array to it
public function addTextField($class,$id){
$this->Input ['type'][] = 'text';
$this->Input ['class'][] = $class;
$this->Input ['id'][] = $id;
}
}
$form = new Form();
$form->addTextField('myclass1','myid1');
$form->addTextField('myclass2','myid2');
$form->addTextField('myclass3','myid3');
When you dump it. The result like this
array (size=3)
'type' =>
array (size=3)
0 => string 'text' (length=4)
1 => string 'text' (length=4)
2 => string 'text' (length=4)
'class' =>
array (size=3)
0 => string 'myclass1' (length=8)
1 => string 'myclass2' (length=8)
2 => string 'myclass3' (length=8)
'id' =>
array (size=3)
0 => string 'myid1' (length=5)
1 => string 'myid2' (length=5)
2 => string 'myid3' (length=5)
A bit late but if you don't mind a nested array you could take this approach:
$main_array = array(); //Your array that you want to push the value into
$value = 10; //The value you want to push into $main_array
array_push($main_array, array('Key' => $value));
To clarify,
if you output json_encode($main_array) that will look like [{"Key":"10"}]
A bit weird, but this worked for me
$array1 = array("Post Slider", "Post Slider Wide", "Post Slider");
$array2 = array("Tools Sliders", "Tools Sliders", "modules-test");
$array3 = array();
$count = count($array1);
for($x = 0; $x < $count; $x++){
$array3[$array1[$x].$x] = $array2[$x];
}
foreach($array3 as $key => $value){
$output_key = substr($key, 0, -1);
$output_value = $value;
echo $output_key.": ".$output_value."<br>";
}
$arr = array("key1"=>"value1", "key2"=>"value");
print_r($arr);
// prints array['key1'=>"value1", 'key2'=>"value2"]
The simple way:
$GET = array();
$key = 'one=1';
parse_str($key, $GET);
http://php.net/manual/de/function.parse-str.php
Example array_merge()....
$array1 = array("color" => "red", 2, 4);
$array2 = array("a", "b", "color" => "green", "shape" => "trapezoid", 4);
$result = array_merge($array1, $array2);
print_r($result);
Array([color] => green,[0] => 2,[1] => 4,[2] => a,[3] => b,[shape] => trapezoid,[4] => 4,)
I wrote a simple function:
function push(&$arr,$new) {
$arr = array_merge($arr,$new);
}
so that I can "upsert" new element easily:
push($my_array, ['a'=>1,'b'=>2])

A lot of answers. Some helpful, others good but awkward. Since you don't need complicated and expensive arithmetic operations, loops etc. for a simple operation like adding an element to an array, here is my collection of One-Liner-Add-To-Array-Functions.
$array = ['a' => 123, 'b' => 456]; // init Array
$array['c'] = 789; // 1.
$array += ['d' => '012']; // 2.
$array = array_merge($array, ['e' => 345]); // 3.
$array = [...$array, 'f' => 678]; // 4.
print_r($array);
// Output:
/*
Array
(
[a] => 123
[b] => 456
[c] => 789
[d] => 012
[e] => 345
[f] => 678
)
*/
In 99,99% i use version 1. ($array['c'] = 789;). But i like version 4. That is the version with the splat operator (https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration56.new-features.php).
array_push($arr, ['key1' => $value1, 'key2' => value2]);
This works just fine.
creates the the key with its value in the array
hi i had same problem i find this solution you should use two arrays then combine them both
<?php
$fname=array("Peter","Ben","Joe");
$age=array("35","37","43");
$c=array_combine($fname,$age);
print_r($c);
?>
reference : w3schools
For add to first position with key and value
$newAarray = [newIndexname => newIndexValue] ;
$yourArray = $newAarray + $yourArray ;
There are some great example already given here. Just adding a simple example to push associative array elements to root numeric index index.
$intial_content = array();
if (true) {
$intial_content[] = array('name' => 'xyz', 'content' => 'other content');
}
array_push($GET, $GET['one']=1);
It works for me.
I usually do this:
$array_name = array(
'key1' => 'value1',
'key2' => 'value2',
'key3' => 'value3'
);
Let's pretend I have this:
$str = "/a/b/c/d/";
$arr = array_filter( explode("/", $str );
At this point $arr contains 4 elements. Is there a way I could create a path in an array with those 4 elements, such as:
$result = [
"a" => [
"b" => [
"c" => [
"d" => [
]
]
]
]
]
...without iterating over $arr?
I know that
$x["a"]["b"]["c"]["d"] = 1;
is perfectly valid and it will create a 4 levels array even if $x wasn't declared as an array, so what I'm asking should be possible.
I DO NOT recommend this as there are security implications when using eval(). However, because I stated in the comments that it couldn't be done without iteration, I felt compelled to post this as an answer (yes, I know implode() iterates internally).
$str = "/a/b/c/d/";
$arr = array_filter( explode("/", $str ));
$keys = '["'.implode('"]["', $arr).'"]';
eval('$x'.$keys.' = 1;');
print_r($x);
For a more practical way see How to write getter/setter to access multi-leveled array by dot separated key names?
I wrote a function once, that had this behaviour as a side effect. It doesn't iterate, but uses recursion.
See: https://github.com/feeela/php-utils/blob/master/function.getArrayValueReference.php
You may call like that:
<?php
$newArray = array();
$keys = 'a/b/c/d';
$referenceToD =& getArrayValueReference( $newArray, explode( '/', $keys ), true );
$referenceToD[0] = 'foo';
$referenceToD[1] = 'bar';
print_r( $newArray );
This modifies the array $newArray and creates all the levels. The functions return value is a reference to the last key ('d' in that example).
…which results in:
Array (
[a] => Array (
[b] => Array (
[c] => Array (
[d] => Array (
[0] => foo
[1] => bar
)
)
)
)
)
There is no way to use all the values of $arr without iterating over it.
I guess you don't want to write a foreach loop but use some PHP function that does the iteration for you.
A simple solution that iterates two times over the array (behind the scene)
This is a possible solution:
$x = array_reduce(
array_reverse($arr),
function ($carry, $item) {
return [$item => $carry];
},
1
);
It generates the same result as:
$x = [];
$x['a']['b']['c']['d'] = 1;
Unfortunately it iterates over $arr two times (array_reverse() and array_reduce()).
Another solution that generates a hierarchy of objects
Another approach that generates the required embedding using objects (stdClass) instead of arrays:
$out = new stdClass;
array_reduce(
$arr,
function ($carry, $item) {
$v = new stdClass;
$carry->{$item} = $v;
return $v;
},
$out
);
It works using a single iteration over $arr but it relies on the way the objects are handled in PHP to work (and this doesn't work with arrays).
PHP handles the objects in a way that makes them look like they are passed by reference. It's a common misconception that the objects are "passed by reference" in PHP but this is not true. A double indirection is responsible for this behaviour.
A recursive solution
function makeArray(array $arr, $initial)
{
if (! count($arr)) {
return $initial;
} else {
$key = array_shift($arr);
return [ $key => makeArray($arr, $initial) ];
}
}
$out = makeArray($arr, 1);
This solution iterates only once over the array and generates a hierarchy of arrays but recursivity is disastrous for large input arrays because it uses a lot of memory.
I have the follow array:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[type] => foo
)
[1] => Array
(
[type] => bar
)
[2] => Array
(
[type] => bar
)
)
and need to know if exists one or more type which value is bar, without do this:
foreach ($arrayOfTypes as $type) {
if ($type['type'] == 'bar')
{
// Stuff here
}
}
(Only for learning purposes)
I'd go with array_filter();
$filteredArray = array_filter($stuff, function($item){
return $item['type'] == 'bar';
});
if( count($filteredArray) > 0 ){
echo 'There was a bar item in array.';
}else{
echo 'No luck sorry!';
}
Use in_array: http://se.php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php
Combine it with array_map to flatten what you have. Like so:
$new_array = array_map( function( $arr ) {
return $arr['type'];
}, $array );
in_array( 'bar', $new_array );
Honestly a foreach loop or moonwave99's array-filter answer is probably going to be your best bet, but if what you're looking is the shortest code possible and creativity that will make most programmers gag, you could try serialize-ing the array and using string-searching functions:
serialize(array(
0=>array(
'type' => 'foo'
),
1=>array(
'type' => 'bar'
),
2=>array(
'type' => 'bar'
)
))
becomes
a:3:{i:0;a:1:{s:4:"type";s:3:"foo";}i:1;a:1:{s:4:"type";s:3:"bar";}i:2;a:1:{s:4:"type";s:3:"bar";}}
So you can now run a strpos() or preg_match() function to find them. So your whole function would look like:
$exists = strpos('{s:4:"type";s:3:"bar";}',serialize($arrayOfTypes)); //returns number or false
It's short, it's snappy, and get's the job done for simple string keypairs.
This is basically the same as moonwave99's solution but slightly more useful as it's in a function that you can feed a key/value pair to as well, so it can be used to search for any key/value combo:
function isKVInArray($k, $v, $array) {
$filtered = array_filter($array, function($item) use($k,$v) {
return $item[$k] == $v;
});
if(count($filtered)>=1) return true;
else return false;
}
$k = 'live';
$v = 'y';
$my_array = array(
0=>array(
'live'=>'n',
'something_else'=>'a'
),
1=>array(
'live'=>'y',
'something_else'=>'b'
),
2=>array(
'live'=>'n',
'something_else'=>'c'
)
);
if(isKVInArray($k, $v, $my_array)) echo "$k=>$v was found in the array.";
else echo 'No luck sorry!';
there's another simple way which is useful when you need to count all the different values
foreach ($arrayOfTypes as $type) $cnt[$type['type']]++;
To get the number of 'bar' (or to get the count of another value):
echo($cnt['bar']);
I am having trouble figuring out a way to simply parse a string input and find the correct location within a multidimensional array.
I am hoping for one or two lines to do this, as the solutions I have seen rely on long (10-20 line) loops.
Given the following code (note that the nesting could, in theory, be of any arbitrary depth):
function get($string)
{
$vars = array(
'one' => array(
'one-one' => "hello",
'one-two' => "goodbye"
),
'two' => array(
'two-one' => "foo",
'two-two' => "bar"
)
);
return $vars[$string]; //this syntax isn't required, just here to give an idea
}
get("two['two-two']"); //desired output: "bar". Actual output: null
Is there a simple use of built-in functions or something else easy that would recreate my desired output?
Considering $vars being your variables you would like to get one['one-one'] or two['two-two']['more'] from (Demo):
$vars = function($str) use ($vars)
{
$c = function($v, $w) {return $w ? $v[$w] : $v;};
return array_reduce(preg_split('~\[\'|\'\]~', $str), $c, $vars);
};
echo $vars("one['one-one']"); # hello
echo $vars("two['two-two']['more']"); # tea-time!
This is lexing the string into key tokens and then traverse the $vars array on the keyed values while the $vars array has been turned into a function.
Older Stuff:
Overload the array with a function that just eval's:
$vars = array(
'one' => array(
'one-one' => "hello",
'one-two' => "goodbye"
),
'two' => array(
'two-one' => "foo",
'two-two' => "bar"
)
);
$vars = function($str) use ($vars)
{
return eval('return $vars'.$str.';');
};
echo $vars("['one']['one-two']"); # goodbye
If you're not a fan of eval, change the implementation:
$vars = function($str) use ($vars)
{
$r = preg_match_all('~\[\'([a-z-]+)\']~', $str, $keys);
$var = $vars;
foreach($keys[1] as $key)
$var = $var[$key];
return $var;
};
echo $vars("['one']['one-two']"); # goodbye
How about
$vars = array(
'one' => array(
'one-one' => "hello",
'one-two' => "goodbye"
),
'two' => array(
'two-one' => "foo",
'two-two' => "bar"
)
);
function get( $string, $vars )
{
$keys = explode( '][', substr( $string, 1, -1 ) );
foreach( $keys as $key ) {
$vars = $vars[$key];
}
return $vars;
}
echo get( '[two][two-one]', $vars );
For one, you've not got a $var in your get() function. $var was defined outside the function, and PHP scoping rules do not make "higher" vars visible in lower scopes unless explictly made global in the lower scope:
function get($string) {
global $vars;
eval('$x = $vars' . $string);
return $x;
}
get("['two']['two-two']");
might work, but this isn't tested, and using eval is almost always a very bad idea.
Kohana has a nice Config class which alows something like this:
echo Config::get("two.two-two");
You can check it out here: http://kohanaframework.org/3.1/guide/api/Config
Is there a way to change all the numeric keys to "Name" without looping through the array (so a php function)?
[
0 => 'blabla',
1 => 'blabla',
2 => 'blblll',
// etc ...
]
If you have an array of keys that you want to use then use array_combine
Given $keys = array('a', 'b', 'c', ...) and your array, $list, then do this:
$list = array_combine($keys, array_values($list));
List will now be array('a' => 'blabla 1', ...) etc.
You have to use array_values to extract just the values from the array and not the old, numeric, keys.
That's nice and simple looking but array_values makes an entire copy of the array so you could have space issues. All we're doing here is letting php do the looping for us, not eliminate the loop. I'd be tempted to do something more like:
foreach ($list as $k => $v) {
unset ($list[$k]);
$new_key = *some logic here*
$list[$new_key] = $v;
}
I don't think it's all that more efficient than the first code but it provides more control and won't have issues with the length of the arrays.
No, there is not, for starters, it is impossible to have an array with elements sharing the same key
$x =array();
$x['foo'] = 'bar' ;
$x['foo'] = 'baz' ; #replaces 'bar'
Secondarily, if you wish to merely prefix the numbers so that
$x[0] --> $x['foo_0']
That is computationally implausible to do without looping. No php functions presently exist for the task of "key-prefixing", and the closest thing is "extract" which will prefix numeric keys prior to making them variables.
The very simplest way is this:
function rekey( $input , $prefix ) {
$out = array();
foreach( $input as $i => $v ) {
if ( is_numeric( $i ) ) {
$out[$prefix . $i] = $v;
continue;
}
$out[$i] = $v;
}
return $out;
}
Additionally, upon reading XMLWriter usage, I believe you would be writing XML in a bad way.
<section>
<foo_0></foo_0>
<foo_1></foo_1>
<bar></bar>
<foo_2></foo_2>
</section>
Is not good XML.
<section>
<foo></foo>
<foo></foo>
<bar></bar>
<foo></foo>
</section>
Is better XML, because when intrepreted, the names being duplicate don't matter because they're all offset numerically like so:
section => {
0 => [ foo , {} ]
1 => [ foo , {} ]
2 => [ bar , {} ]
3 => [ foo , {} ]
}
This is an example prefixing all the keys with an underscore.
We use array_combine to combine the array keys with the array values, but we first run an array_map function on the array keys, which takes a simple function that adds the prefix.
$prefix = '_';
$arr = array_combine(
array_map(function($v) use ($prefix){
return $prefix.$v;
}, array_keys($arr)),
array_values($arr)
);
See a live example here https://3v4l.org/HABl7
I added this for an answer to another question and seemed relevant. Hopefully might help someone that needs to change the value of the keys in an array. Uses built-in functions for php.
$inputArray = array('app_test' => 'test', 'app_two' => 'two');
/**
* Used to remap keys of an array by removing the prefix passed in
*
* Example:
* $inputArray = array('app_test' => 'test', 'app_two' => 'two');
* $keys = array_keys($inputArray);
* array_walk($keys, 'removePrefix', 'app_');
* $remappedArray = array_combine($keys, $inputArray);
*
* #param $value - key value to replace, should be from array_keys
* #param $omit - unused, needed for prefix call
* #param $prefix - prefix to string replace in keys
*/
function removePrefix(&$value, $omit, $prefix) {
$value = str_replace($prefix, '', $value);
}
// first get all the keys to remap
$keys = array_keys($inputArray);
// perform internal iteration with prefix passed into walk function for dynamic replace of key
array_walk($keys, 'removePrefix', 'app_');
// combine the rewritten keys and overwrite the originals
$remappedArray = array_combine($keys, $inputArray);
// see full output of comparison
var_dump($inputArray);
var_dump($remappedArray);
Output:
array(2) {
'attr_test' =>
string(4) "test"
'attr_two' =>
string(3) "two"
}
array(2) {
'test' =>
string(4) "test"
'two' =>
string(3) "two"
}
I think that he want:
$a = array(1=>'first_name', 2=>'last_name');
$a = array_flip($a);
$a['first_name'] = 3;
$a = array_flip($a);
print_r($a);
The solution to when you're using XMLWriter (native to PHP 5.2.x<) is using $xml->startElement('itemName'); this will replace the arrays key.
change array key name "group" to "children".
<?php
echo json_encode($data);

}
return $res;
}
echo '<br>=====change "group" to "children"=====<br>';
$new = array_change_key_name("group" ,"children" , $data);
echo json_encode($new);

Use array array_flip in php
$array = array ( [1] => Sell [2] => Buy [3] => Rent [4] => Jobs )
print_r(array_flip($array));
Array ( [Sell] => 1 [Buy] => 2 [Rent] => 3 [Jobs] => 4 )
I did this for an array of objects. Its basically creating new keys in the same array and unsetting the old keys.
public function transform($key, $results)
{
foreach($results as $k=>$result)
{
if( property_exists($result, $key) )
{
$results[$result->$key] = $result;
unset($results[$k]);
}
}
return $results;
}
<?php
$array[$new_key] = $array[$old_key];
unset($array[$old_key]);
?>
To have the same key I think they must be in separate nested arrays.
for ($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) {
$newArray[] = ['name' => $array[$i]];
};
Output:
0 => array:1 ["name" => "blabla"]
1 => array:1 ["name" => "blabla"]
2 => array:1 ["name" => "blblll"]
You could create a new array containing that array, so:
<?php
$array = array();
$array['name'] = $oldArray;
?>
