PHP - Multidimensional Array Question?
Ok I have a multidimensional array and what I want to know is how to use it. I need to pick the items from the array but only the items specified or individual keys in the array how would I go about doing that. Here is the array:
<?php $monstors = array ( "Skeleton"=>array ( "mob_name"=>"Skeleton", "mob_attack"=>"5", "mob_hp"=>"30", "mob_level"=>"1" ), "Skeleton Fighter"=>array ( "mob_name"=>"Skeleton Fighter", "mob_attack"=>"10", "mob_hp"=>"35", "mob_level"=>"2" ), "Skeleton Warrior"=>array ( "mob_name"=>"Skeleton Warrior", "mob_attack"=>"15", "mob_hp"=>"40", "mob_level"=>"3" ) ); ?> How would I like print_r the element in the array called Skeleton Warrior? Similar TutorialsI have an array with 192 items in it (0-191) and I want to rearrange them into a multidimensional array with 24 sets of 8. If I wasn't very clear there, here's an abbreviated version of what I want: $arr1 = array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23); $arr2 = array(array(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), array(8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15), array(16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)); Thank you in advance! I have the following array structu Code: [Select] [0] => Array ( [id] => Array ( [$t] => http://www.google.com/mate/ ) [updated] => Array ( [$t] => 2011-08-31T11:43:05.942Z ) [category] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [scheme] => http://schemas.google.com/g/ [term] => http://schemas.google.com/contact/ ) ) [title] => Array ( [type] => text [$t] => Name ) [link] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [rel] => http://schemas.google.com/contacts/2008/rel#edit-photo [type] => image/* [href] => https://www.google.com/mate/feeds/photos/media/ ) [1] => Array ( [rel] => self [type] => application/atom+xml [href] => https://www.google.com/mate/feeds/contacts ) [2] => Array ( [rel] => edit [type] => application/atom+xml [href] => https://www.google.com/mate/feeds/ ) ) [gd$email] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [rel] => http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#other [address] => email_address@gmail.com [primary] => true ) ) ) I am tried to display name and email address. I am using following method, can anyone tell me is there any better way? Thank u 4u help. NAME $name=( $emp_det[0]['title'][t]); $email =( $emp_det[0]['gdemail'][0][address]); Hi, I'm trying to explode an array into a multidimensional array using <br /> tags as splitters but just can't get the syntax right! I can do lines of the array one by one, but not the whole lot at once. I'd really appreciate a quick example of an explode inside an array. $myarray looks something like this with print_r: ( [0] => [1] => some_html<br />some_html<br />some_html<br /> [2] => some_html<br />some_html<br />some_html<br /> [3] => some_html<br />some_html<br />some_html<br /> ) and I want to turn it into this: ( [0] => [1] => [0]some_html [1]some_html [2]some_html [2] => [0]some_html [1]some_html [2]some_html [3] => [0]some_html [1]some_html [2]some_html ) I've tried this $myarray = explode ("<br />", $myarray); but it doesn't work … It doesn't matter too much if there's are a few empty lines in the array from the final <br /> tags. Many thanks, as ever, for any help. I am looking at the code below: Code: [Select] $array = array( array( 1, 2 ), 'a' => array( 'b' => 1, 'c' ) ); Is this an example of a multidimensional array? If so how would I access the value of 1 from key b? Also would the next line ('c') be automatically assigned to the asociative key of c? I've been working on some code to: 1. Search a db for rows that have a particular "position" value 2. Search the same db for rows that have a particular "langs" value 3. Compare the two arrays resulting for 1 and 2 4. Create a multidimensional array $langsarray[langs][question id] if 3 is true. 5. For each langs array in $langsarray pick a random, non-duplicate value and add it to $qarray for a maximum of 12 elements (3 for each langs). What I have works about 95%. The problem is, in the first langs array, one of the 3 randomly picked values is almost always empty, and its not always the same element. Sometimes its the first, sometimes its the third, sometimes its the second... I think I've narrowed down the issue to line 44 ($qtemp = ...). If I change the min/max values for the mt_rand function, it behaves slightly differently. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I'm not overly advanced with my use of arrays, so I'd like some help here if anyone knows what I am looking for. I have a form that I would like to submit to a MySQL database. In that form, there is the ability to add up to 3 harddrives: Code: [Select] Brand: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddbrand]" id="hddbrand"><br/> Model and/or size,type: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddtype]" id="hddtype"><br/> SN: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddsn]" id="hddsn"><br/> Notes: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddnotes]" id="hddnotes" size="50"> Obviously the next harddrive would be hdds[1][hddbrand], etc. I am having an awful time looping through this to get more than 1 harddrive's information, however. I've tried foreach embedded in foreach and been messing around with this for a good 3-4 hours now and I feel like I am just missing something. I've got this right now to debug: Code: [Select] foreach($_POST['hdds'] as $key => $a) { $hddbrand = $a['hddbrand']; } my print_r($a) comes up with the following: Code: [Select] Array ( [hddbrand] => Toshiba [hddtype] => Shaba 500gb [hddsn] => 5fu8bvw4 [hddnotes] =>none ) 1 Good. That's what I want. But I need some help constructing my array/loop to get the values of more than 1 drive should I have to enter information for more than 1 drive. I feel like I am close, but I am just not getting what I need. I have not had to work with multidimensional arrays before and they are proving to be more trickier than I expected. Any help would be enormously appreciated! Patrick I need to extract data from a CSV file and insert it into a MySQL database. I am able to extract the data, however I cannot figure out how to group it. Sample File: 01 ISBN Name of Book Price 02 ISBN Name of Book Price So far I have an array with the entire file (reading file with PHP): Array ([0] => 01 [1] => 12345678X [2] => Title [3] => 120.00 ...etc. How can I modify the array to create groups of four for each item? Each item is its own array? I am trying to store all the elements of my tree in an array.My code produces multi dimensional array, but i want it to be one dimensional. How can i get it ? Code:- Code: [Select] function tree_gather($node) //Function to calculate count { $sql = "SELECT lchild,rchild FROM tree WHERE parent = '$node'"; $execsql = mysql_query($sql); $array = mysql_fetch_array($execsql); if(!empty($array['lchild']) || !empty($array['rchild'])) { $child[] = $array['lchild']; $child[] = $array['rchild']; $child[] = tree_gather($array['lchild']); $child[] = tree_gather($array['rchild']); } return $child; } Result:- Code: [Select] Array ( [0] => 2 [1] => 3 [2] => Array ( [0] => 4 [1] => 5 [2] => Array ( [0] => 10 [1] => 11 [2] => [3] => ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 8 [1] => 9 [2] => [3] => ) ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 7 [1] => 6 [2] => Array ( [0] => 15 [1] => 14 [2] => Array ( [0] => 16 [1] => 17 [2] => [3] => ) [3] => ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 13 [1] => 12 [2] => [3] => ) ) ) Table: - I'm trying to create a multidimensional array of movies organized by genre. This should take the form of an associative array with genres as keys. Each of the arrays elements should be an array containing movie names. This is what I have: <?php $movies = array( array("SF" => "", "Terminator", "Soylent Green", "I Robot", "frankenstein"), array("horror" => "exorcist", "IT", "frankenstein"), array("comedy" => "holy grail", "blazing saddles", "young frankenstein") ); //echo $movies[0][0]."<br>"; //echo $movies[1][0]."<br>"; //echo $movies[2][0]; foreach ($movies as $c) { while (list($k, $v) = each ($c)) { echo "$k ... $v <br/>"; } } ?> this is the output: SF ... 0 ... Terminator 1 ... Soylent Green 2 ... I Robot 3 ... frankenstein horror ... exorcist 0 ... IT 1 ... frankenstein comedy ... holy grail 0 ... blazing saddles 1 ... young frankenstein you'll see Terminator is only listed as element 0 because there's an empty string in front of it. The first item in the array is liated as the value to the key while the second value is listed as element 0. It doesn't seem right to me. Code: [Select] while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) { $id = $row['id']; $col1 = $row['name1']; $col2= $row['name2']; $col3= $row['name3']; ${"$id"} = array("$col1","$col2","$col3"); ${"$s".$i}[] = ${"$id"}; } This is just a brief example of what i'm trying to accomplish,$i is incremented somewhere else. I'm trying to implode the arrays in the array. So below i have imploded the main array but how do i implode the other arrays? Code: [Select] for($i=0;$i<11;$i++) { $array = ${"s" . $i}; $outcomes = implode("",$array); //implodes main array } I recently posted a simple query about ISSET and finally got that simple problem solved thanks to you guys. But I've hit a new snag. I've create a simple sort of cart, or record counter. While I can add/remove/clear items and display their affilated arrays, I don't know how to cycle through a multidimensional array that is dynamically set.
Something like $_SESSION['Primary'][$items][$attributes] - Where $items is a dynamic set, and $attributes is a fixed set of keys with values.
I can target individual $Items, or display all the items in there. But I can't display all the Items and their subsequent $attributes aswell. Do I have to write 1 set of Ajax code for just displaying the $items, and another for each individual set of $attributes? Or is their a way to cycle through each $item, and then all of it's(or specific) $attributes and values? I've tried using loops which logically work, but I can't pass it through json_encode.
Is there any documentation I could read in relation to this? I feel this is the key component to manuvering through a database of sorts. I'm just not entirely sure how to go about accessing multidimensional Array's without a ton of code that becomes redudent. And even then, it wouldnt work well with a dynamic setup.
Edited by 7blake, 07 November 2014 - 01:39 PM. Hi All How do I go about splitting a multidimensional array into seperate smaller ones? Currently I have $grade[region][userid]=value. I'd like to split as $region1[userid]=value $region2[userid]=value $region3[userid]=value $region4[userid]=value $region5[userid]=value $region6[userid]=value Is there an inbuilt function for this? Ok I'm really lost here, what I need to do is shuffle a 2D array. Now when I shuffle them I want to keep both columns aligned to say. Like I only want the index to change. Kinda like this: Index Id URL 0 [2 www.e] I want the bracketed stuff to stay aligned. 1 [6 www.b] 2 [12 www.c] 3 [60 www.h] But I want them in different positions on every page load. So when I echo array[1][0] it will always be different. Is this even possible? Hi, Could really do with some help. So I've got a Multidimensional array like so Code: [Select] Array ( [Asia] => Array ( [0] => China [1] => Japan ) [Europe] => Array ( [0] => France [1] => Germany [2] => Spain [3] => UK ) ) I have a Mysql table (continents pre-filled) Code: [Select] Continent - Country Asia Europe I need to update country where continent is xxx So I need a query/php function which will when run would fill in "china, japan" into "asia" and "france, germany, spain, uk" into "europe", like so Code: [Select] Continent - Country Asia - China, Japan Europe - France, Germany, Spain, UK I don't really know where to start so I don't have a code. Would really appreciate some assistance. I am having trouble searching for an item in a multi-dimensional array. Is there a way to search only one column in a multi-dimensional array? i.e: MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY ID Name DataTable 0 John Employee 1 Dan Employee 2 Matt Boss 3 Becky Supervisor Is there a way to only search the column "Name"(Column 2) using array_search() or similar? (i.e array_search("John",$ARRAY[Column2]) The help would be very much appreciated! Cheers, Dan Hi. I have a multidimensional array and i need sort it by two different key. I've tried almost every sort function but no chance. Code: [Select] Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => 1 [id] => 1 [11] => this is test [main_txt] => this is test [12] => 943965420 [add_time] => 943965420 [13] => 1323356400 [add_date] => 1323356400 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => 3 [id] => 3 [11] => another test [main_txt] => another test [12] => 943965120 [add_time] => 943965120 [13] => 1323702000 [add_date] => 1323702000 ) [2] => Array ( [0] => 32 [id] => 32 [11] => oppss one more test [main_txt] => oppss one more test [12] => 943944900 [add_time] => 943944900 [13] => 1323702000 [add_date] => 1323702000 ) [3] => Array ( [0] => 5 [id] => 5 [11] => okay, this is last one. Seriously [main_txt] => okay, this is last one. Seriously [12] => 943937160 [add_time] => 943937160 [13] => 1323615600 [add_date] => 1323615600 ) ) I need sort by add_date(Newer to Older) first then add_time(Later to Earlier) later. I hope i made my self clear. Hey guys I am trying to make a simple shopping cart but I can't seem to wrap my head around this. I have $_SESSION['cart'] as an array and I can add an item to it and then echo specific elements of the item like so echo $_SESSION['cart']['0']['Name']; I can not seem to figure out how to add a second item to the array so I can do something like echo $_SESSION['cart']['1']['Name']; and it will echo the second item that I 'added' to my cart? Thanks I hope that makes sense. Hi All I'm new to php and I have a multidimensional array set up which I need to sort for a results list from an assessment.
