PHP - Sort Multi-dimensional Array

I'm using a PHP framework someone built that allows for easier use of the Autotask ticketing/CRM system API. I have been able to navigate querying the database, but cannot seem to read through the data it returns. A var_dump of the results shows the following:

object(ATWS\AutotaskObjects\QueryResponse)[9]
  public 'queryResult' => 
    object(ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ATWSResponse)[10]
      public 'EntityResults' => 
        object(ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ArrayOfEntity)[11]
          public 'Entity' => 
            array (size=500)
              ...
      public 'EntityResultType' => string 'contact' (length=7)
      public 'EntityReturnInfoResults' => 
        object(ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ArrayOfEntityReturnInfo)[1028]
          public 'EntityReturnInfo' => 
            array (size=500)
              ...
          public 'Fields' => null
          public 'UserDefinedFields' => null
      public 'Errors' => 
        object(ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ArrayOfATWSError)[1027]
          public 'ATWSError' => null
          public 'Fields' => null
          public 'UserDefinedFields' => null
      public 'ReturnCode' => int 1

Can someone please give me guidance on how I can get to the data in this result. I'm trying to get my hands on the "EntityReturnInfo" data. A sample is as follows

 

Here is what a print_r returns


ATWS\AutotaskObjects\QueryResponse Object ( [queryResult] => ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ATWSResponse Object ( [EntityResults] => ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ArrayOfEntity Object ( 

**THIS IS WHERE THE GOOD DATA STARTS***

[Entity] => Array ( [0] => ATWS\AutotaskObjects\Contact Object ( [AccountID] => 174 [Active] => 1 [FirstName] => John [LastName] => Doe [AccountPhysicalLocationID] => [AdditionalAddressInformation] => [AddressLine] => 123 Fake Street [AddressLine1] => Suite 2 [AlternatePhone] => [BulkEmailOptOut] => [BulkEmailOptOutTime] => [City] => Fake City [Country] => United States [CountryID] => 237 [CreateDate] => 2016-09-28T10:17:57.34 [EMailAddress] => Fake@email.com [EMailAddress2] => [EMailAddress3] => [Extension] => [ExternalID] => [FacebookUrl] => [FaxNumber] => [LastActivityDate] => 2016-09-28T11:17:24 [LastModifiedDate] => 2016-09-28T11:17:24.68 [LinkedInUrl] => [MiddleInitial] => [MobilePhone] => [NamePrefix] => [NameSuffix] => [Note] => [Notification] => 1 [Phone] => 123-456-7890 [PrimaryContact] => [RoomNumber] => [SolicitationOptOut] => [SolicitationOptOutTime] => [State] => NY [SurveyOptOut] => [Title] => [TwitterUrl] => [ZipCode] => 12345 [Fields] => [UserDefinedFields] => ATWS\AutotaskObjects\ArrayOfUserDefinedField Object ( [UserDefinedField] => ) [id] => 30682885 ) 

***AND THE DATA CONTINUES WITH***

[1] => ATWS\AutotaskObjects\Contact Object ( [AccountID] => etc etc etc etc

 

I have an Array and I am attempting to figure out how I can sort it by date.

Example of Said Array:

But I have stumped myself on it, and cant wrap my mind around getting it sorted by datetime. I don't know where I should begin on this one fellas.

Hey everyone. I'm in the final stage of my thingeee (yay). The last thing I need is to prepare a report, but I'm slightly lost on how to do it. Essentially, I have a query that returns some financial records and need to aggregate the data manually (in PHP).  I'm familiar with the foreach($assoc_array as $array) function, and I'd like to use it to manipulate the output as follows:
For the first key (instType), this will mark the start of a new table element For a second key (paymentID), this will mark the start of a new table row element For a third key, (instrumentID), this will mark a new column (<td>) Then, I need to sort by two other keys - deptID, userID, accountID How do I accomplish this? Pseudo-code is acceptable (my array is called $data and contains all the keys I listed above)

The code below is showing "undefined" and "OBJECT" errors   What am I doing wrong to build this multi-dimensional array?     And why can't I paste it to this page???????????????????????

HI - Pulling my hair out ..  I'm trying to extract from a 3 dimensional array the data for insert to MySql. It  is looping correctly however, and it is inserting, however for some reason I am not getting values for price and quantity, just 0.    The array is contained within

Code: [Select]
$prod_details = ($_SESSION['cart']);
if you do a print_r on the the session, you get :

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [22] => Array
        (
            [name] => Turkey Jumbo Pack
            [price] => 155.25
            [count] => 1
        )

    [20] => Array
        (
            [name] => Chicken Variety Pack
            [price] => 120.35
            [count] => 1
        )

)

I am using a nested foreach loop to traverse the array:

Code: [Select]
$prod_details = ($_SESSION['cart']);
 
  foreach ($prod_details as $keyOne=> $value){
$prodID = $keyOne;
   foreach($value as $keytwo=>$row) {
   $price = $keytwo['price'];
   $quantity = $keytwo['count'];
   }
But I all I get out of $price and $quantity when I do an insert is 0.

What am I doing wrong ?

MANY MANY thanks for all your help ! !

Hi - I have an array which is created from a session variable I must have constructed my array wrong, as for the life of me I can not extract the individual values.  I have tried innumerable $key=>$value combinations. I must be doing something stupid, maybe it is obvious, but not to me.   I'll be darn grateful if you can help me !  Many  Thanks


MY array looks like this:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [quantity] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 1
            [2] => 1
            [3] => 1
            [4] => 1
        )

    [name] => Array
        (
            [0] =>  Ribs Large pack 20 pieces
            [1] => 25 Piece Bag
            [2] => Sirloin Steak
            [3] => 50 piece bag of Scalops
            [4] => Sirloin Steak
        )

    [prodid] => Array
        (
            [0] => 17
            [1] => 28
            [2] => 27
            [3] => 25
            [4] => 27
        )

)




The CodeIgniter form which generated this array looks like this:

Code: [Select]

 <?php foreach ( $_SESSION['openorders'] as $key=>$value) {  ?>
<tr align="center">
<td width="30"><?php $data=array('name' =>'quantity[]','value'=>$value['quantity']); echo form_input($data); ?></td>
<td><?php echo $value['prodid']; ?></td>
    <td><?php echo $value['name'];?></td>
    <td><?php echo $value['ordervalue']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $value['pricelb']; ?></td>
<td align="right"><?php echo form_checkbox('delete','delete',FALSE);
echo form_hidden('prodid[]', $value['prodid']);
echo form_hidden('name[]', $value['name']);
echo form_hidden('orderid', $value['orderid']);
   $totalordervalue += $value['ordervalue'];
} ?>

I have a pipe delimited file with this sample content:

INV8004199|01/26/2012|Next door|648.00
SPT803487|01/25/2012|This and That|3360.00
INV8004193|01/25/2012|Where is it|756.00
INV8004133|01/05/2012|snowy winter|6750.00

I open the file to read it:
Code: [Select]
     $CPfile = "sample.DEL";

      $ft = fopen( $CPfile, "r");
$content1 = fread($ft, filesize($CPfile));
fclose($ft);



Then I loop thru it:

Code: [Select]
$out = explode("\n",  $content1);
$total = 0;
   
   foreach($out as $var) {

$tmp = explode("|", $var);

for($i=0;$i<count($tmp);$i++){
                            echo $tmp[$i] . "<BR>";
               }
   }


What I would like to get is the total of all prices (last column) in all lines of the file.  Can someone help please?. Thanks!

I have four different arrays and I want to place them into a multi dimensional array and
then I want to place it into a Session variable. This is what I have below.How do I do this?

when I print_r($_Session) I don't get anything just option[](2);


Code: [Select]

$_SESSION ['option']['green'] = array('name '=>'jeff');
$_SESSION ['option']['red'] = array('name '=>'mary');
$_SESSION ['option']['blue'] = array('name '=>'joe');
$_SESSION ['option']['brown'] = array('name '=>'ash');

I'm not entirely sure how to phrase the title, so I hope it's appropriate...

I have an array which looks like the following..
Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [contact] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [name] => Someone Cool
                    [number] => 1234567890
                )

        )

    [messages] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [message] => A message that was recieved
                    [date] => 1234567890
                    [type] => 1
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [message] => A message which was sent
                    [date] => 1322175702616
                    [type] => 2
                )
        )
    [calls] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [datetime] => 1320674980836
                    [type] => 1
                    [duration] => 7
                    [number] => 1234567890
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [datetime] => 1320675327541
                    [type] => 2
                    [duration] => 638
                    [number] => 1234567890
                )
       )

)


[messages] can have anywhere between 40 and 3000 children
[calls] can have anywhere from 0 to 200ish children
** These are generals, but realistically, either can have any number.

What I'm trying to do is dump all messages and calls.

The catch is this: When dumping a call, a check needs to be run against datestamps and only dump the next call coming out where the datestamp of the call is NEWER than the LAST message dumped, AND OLDER than the message that is to be dump in this cycle of the loop.  What I have so far is the following...
Code: [Select]
foreach($vardump['messages'] as $message) {

// So we have a reference point for the first call we're going to dump
if(!is_numeric($last_message_stamp)) { $last_message_stamp = $message['date']; }

            if( trim($vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['datetime']) > trim($last_message_stamp) &&
trim($vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['datetime']) < trim($message['date'])) {

// Dump the calls row!
echo("
<div class=\"chatbubble-call\">
            <div class=\"chatbubble-person\">".$vardump['contact'][0]['name']."</div>
            <p>".$vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['number']."</p>
<p>".date("h:i:s", $vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['number'])."</p>
            <div class=\"chatbubble-datetime\">".date("l, j F, Y -- h:i:s", $vardump['calls'][$calls_counter]['datetime'] / 1000)."</div>
        </div>
");

// Increase our calls index
$calls_counter++;


}


// Begin dumping Texts out :D
// Let's see which style type we're dumping out...
if($message['type'] == 2) { // Message Sent

echo("
<div class=\"chatbubble-sent\">
<div class=\"chatbubble-person\">Pat Litke</div>
<p>".$message['message']."</p>
<div class=\"chatbubble-datetime\">".date("l, j F, Y -- h:i:s", $message['date'] / 1000)."</div>
</div>
");


} else { // Message Recieved

echo("
<div class=\"chatbubble-recieved\">
<div class=\"chatbubble-person\">".$vardump['contact'][0]['name']."</div>
<p>".$message['message']."</p>
<div class=\"chatbubble-datetime\">".date("l, j F, Y -- h:i:s", $message['date'] / 1000)."</div>
</div>
");

}

// Reset our $last_messge_stamp variable
$last_message_stamp = $message['date'];




}

I should also add that I am using the following queries to pull this date out of my database...
Code: [Select]
$sql_get_messages = "SELECT * FROM messages
WHERE thread_number LIKE '%$the_thread%'
ORDER BY epoch_date ASC";

$sql_get_calls = "SELECT * FROM calls
WHERE number LIKE '%$the_thread%'
ORDER BY datetime ASC";

$sql_get_contact = "SELECT * FROM contacts
WHERE number LIKE '%$the_thread%'
LIMIT 1";

But, I feel that this is horribly inefficient, and it doesn't work right... I only ever get a single call dumped.  What am I doing wrong?

Does anyone know of a way I can natsort a multi-dimension array by a value nested in the array 2 keys deep?


I.e.




array(
   'test1' => array(
      'location' => '123 fake street',
      'time'     => 120
),
'test2' => array(
      'location' => '123 elm street',
      'time'     => 34
),
'test3' => array(
      'location' => '123 php street',
      'time'     => 133
)
);
// would become
array(
'test2' => array(
      'location' => '123 elm street',
      'time'     => 34
),
   'test1' => array(
      'location' => '123 fake street',
      'time'     => 120
),
'test3' => array(
      'location' => '123 php street',
      'time'     => 133
)
);



thanks for any help

I am validating a form, and if there are errors in the input, the error array is filled with appropriate mssg and the "sticky" form with right values is shown back, and errors on top.

Example:
first name, last name, email, date of birth.
each field is validated,and if  for example first name does not pass,i will nullify the value and populate error array like below:
$_SESSSION['error']['fname']="Please check the format of the name,can contain only alphabets!"
$_SESSSION['error']['email']="Please check the format of email!"

When I slap back the form, last name has passed, and so will have the previously entered value, but first name and email will be empty, and i need to know how to display the 2 errors on top of the form.
It uses post method, and posts to itself.

Doing an API call and want to remove duplicates so I can display the products by brand. Problem I am having now is when I try to display the brands, I am getting duplicate brands. When I display the brands I am getting Nike, Nike, Reebook. When I just want, Nike, Reebok.

My Code
Code: [Select]
<?php
$results = array(); //array from API call

$results2 = $results['data'];

function multi_unique($array) {
        foreach ($array as $k=>$na)
            $new[$k] = serialize($na);
        $uniq = array_unique($new);
        foreach($uniq as $k=>$ser)
            $new1[$k] = unserialize($ser);
        return ($new1);
    }

$results3 = multi_unique($results2);

foreach ($results3 as $var)
{
echo $var['brand'];
?>
<br />
<?php
}

?>

I have a stdClass Object Multi Dimensional Array that I need to dissassemble into variables but dont know how to pull the data. The array looks like this:
Code: [Select]
stdClass Object ( [results] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [address_components] => Array ( [0] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => 1600 [short_name] => 1600 [types] => Array ( [0] => street_number ) ) [1] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => Pennsylvania Ave NW [short_name] => Pennsylvania Ave NW [types] => Array ( [0] => route ) ) [2] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => Northwest Washington [short_name] => Northwest Washington [types] => Array ( [0] => neighborhood [1] => political ) ) [3] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => Washington [short_name] => Washington [types] => Array ( [0] => locality [1] => political ) ) [4] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => District of Columbia [short_name] => DC [types] => Array ( [0] => administrative_area_level_1 [1] => political ) ) [5] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => United States [short_name] => US [types] => Array ( [0] => country [1] => political ) ) [6] => stdClass Object ( [long_name] => 20500 [short_name] => 20500 [types] => Array ( [0] => postal_code ) ) ) [formatted_address] => 1600 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20500, USA [geometry] => stdClass Object ( [location] => stdClass Object ( [lat] => 38.8987149 [lng] => -77.0376555 ) [location_type] => ROOFTOP [viewport] => stdClass Object ( [northeast] => stdClass Object ( [lat] => 38.900063880291 [lng] => -77.036306519708 ) [southwest] => stdClass Object ( [lat] => 38.897365919709 [lng] => -77.039004480291 ) ) ) [partial_match] => 1 [types] => Array ( [0] => street_address ) ) ) [status] => OK )
Really I need to start with pulling the lat and lng from the location. No clue how to get to this data.

I have a Q&A Form/script where registered Users can share there thoughts on 10 Questions.

On the backend I have these tables:  member, answer, question

Thanks to some help last night, I have been able to do a LEFT join and store the above data in a multi-dimensional array which always stoes the 10 Questions, and also any Answers that the User may have responded to.  (Questions are optional.)

I am having a hell of a time DISPLAYING this multi-dimensional array.

The key is that I want my PHP and array to stay at the top of my script and use minimal PHP in my HTML section.

Here is how I query the data and build my array...

// ********************
// Build Q&A Query. *
// ********************

// Build query.
$q7 = "SELECT q.id, q.question_no, q.question_text, a.answer_text
FROM bio_question AS q
LEFT JOIN bio_answer AS a
ON q.id=a.question_id
AND a.member_id =?
ORDER BY q.question_no";

// Prepare statement.
$stmt7 = mysqli_prepare($dbc, $q7);

// Bind variables to query.
mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt7, 'i', $memberID);

// Execute query.
mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt7);

// Store results.
mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt7);

// Check # of Records Returned.
if (mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt7) > 0){
// Questions Found.

// Bind result-set to variable.
mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt7, $questionID, $questionNo, $questionText, $answerText);

// Populate PHP array with Questions & Answers.
$x=1;
while (mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt7)){
$thoughtsArray[$x] = array('questionID' => $questionID,
'questionText' => $questionText,
'answerText' => $answerText);
$x=$x+1;
}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($thoughtsArray);
echo '</pre>';


// Close prepared statement.
mysqli_stmt_close($stmt7);



And in my HTML Form, here is how I am attempting to dynamically build the Q&A section...

<form id="changeAnswers" action="" method="post">
<fieldset>
<legend>Change Profile Answers</legend>

<?php
echo '<p>TEST: ' . $thoughtsArray[4]['answerText'] . '</p>';

foreach($thoughtsArray as $questionNo => $qaArray) {
echo '<label for="question' . $questionNo . '">' . $questionNo . '.) ' . $qaArray['questionText'] . '</label>';
echo '<textarea id="question' . $questionNo . '" name="thoughtsArray[' . $questionNo . '][\'answerText\']" cols="60" rows="2">' .
(isset($questionNo]) ? "htmlentities($thoughtsArray[$questionNo]['answerText'], ENT_QUOTES" : '') .
'</textarea>';
}
?>



I am able to retrieve and display the Questions from my multi-dimensional array as seen above, however, for the life of me, I cannot get the Input Fields (with any Answers) to work properly.  I either get compile errors, or the code runs but my Input Fields are blank even when an Answer should be displayed?!

 

I am hoping this is just a syntax and/or reference error.  I'm still new to arrays, so properly retrieving an Answer from a multi-dimensional array is really tricky for me!!

So close and yet so far away?!

Can someone please help me out??

Thanks,


Debbie
