PHP - Iteration In An Iteration

Hello,   Here is my code:

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$client = new Elasticsearch/Client();

$root = realpath('~/elkdata/for_elk_test_2014_11_24/Agencies');

$iter = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
		new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($root, RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS),
		RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST,
		RecursiveIteratorIterator::CATCH_GET_CHILD);
		
$paths = array($root);
foreach ($iter as $path => $dir) {
	if ($dir -> isDir()) {
		$paths[] = $path;
		}
	}

//Create the index and mappings
$mapping['index'] = 'rvuehistoricaldocuments2009-2013'; //mapping code
$mapping['body'] = array (
	'mappings' => array (
		'documents' => array (
			'_source' => array (
				'enabled' => true
			),
			'properties' => array(
				'doc_name' => array(
					'type' => 'string',
					'analyzer' => 'standard'
				),
				'description' => array(
					'type' => 'string'
				)
			)
		)
	)
);

$client ->indices()->create($mapping)


//Now index the documents

for ($i = 0; $i <= count($paths); $i++) {
	$params ['body'][] = array(
		'index' => array(
		'type' => 'documents'
		'body' => array(
			'foo' => 'bar' //Document body goes here
			
			)
		)
	);
	
	//Every 1000 documents stop and send the bulk request.
	
	if($1 % 1000) {
		$responses = $client->bulk($params);
	
	// erase the old bulk request
	$params = array();
	
	// unset the bulk response when you are done to save memory
	unset($responses);
	}
}
?>

I am looking to index a large amount of documents using elastic search and php. I have a very complex directory filled with other directories that i need to index into an array. I wanted to see if my code looked right, and if not what am I doing wrong?    Thanks, Austin Harmon

Hello, I have two classes:

Code: [Select]
abstract class Serializable
{
public function serialize()
{
foreach($this as $member => $value)
{
$publicObject->$member = $value;
}
return $publicObject
}
}

class ToSerialize extends Serializable
{
public function otherSerialize()
{
foreach($this as $member => $value)
{
$publicObject->$member = $value;
}
return $publicObject
}
}

$foo = new ToSerialize();
$foo->serialize(); //This will return one thing
$foo->otherSerialize(); //This will return something different

Why does this happen? 

To solve a bigger issue I'm having in WordPress, I have thrown together this basic script in PHP script to help me get to the bottom of it.

Basically, I am trying to add a <hr /> tag after every 3rd paragraph:
http://www.mattpealing-server.co.uk/~freshmat/wp-content/themes/match2move/test.php

With the following code:
<?php $count = 0; ?><?php while($count < 20) : ?><span><p><strong><?php echo $count; ?>:</strong> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing.</p></span><?php if ($count % 3) : ?><hr /><?php endif; ?><?php $count ++; ?><?php endwhile; ?>()

However if you notice, this output just doesn't turn out like this! Does the operator I'm using not test if $count is a multiple of 3?

So I have a very simple for loop that I am populating a list with levels and exp required to achieve the next level. I have been using a sandbox to test my output and have also created an excel sheet to replicate the data to verify the content. This code was not mine from the beginning and in creating the spreadsheet I discovered the flaw. Below is the code I am trying to fix:

function experience($L, $pres = 0) {
    $a = 0;
    $end = 0;
	for ($x = 1; $x < $L; ++$x) {
        $a += $x * round($x + 5 * pow(4, ($x / 300)));
	}
	if ($x > 199) {
		$a += $x * round($x + 7 * pow(4, ($x / 290)));
	}
	if ($x > 399) {
		$a += $x * round($x + 11 * pow(4, ($x / 280)));
	}
	if ($x > 599) {
		$a += $x * round($x + 19 * pow(4, ($x / 270)));
	}
	if ($x > 799) {
		$a += $x * round($x + 35 * pow(4, ($x / 260)));
	}
	if ($x > 999) {
		$a += $x * round($x + 67 * pow(4, ($x / 250)));
	}
	return round($a / 1.25);
}

Below is the troubleshooting I am attempting to do (Modified and simplified for and while loop):

//for loop
$no = 200;
$a = 0;
for ($x = 1; $x < $no; ++$x) {
    $a += $x + 1;
}
if ($no > 199) {
    $a += $x + 2;
}
echo $a;


//while loop
$no = 200;
$a = 0;
$x = 1;
while (($x - 1) < $no) {
    $a += $x * round($x + 5 * pow(4, ($x / 300)));
    $x++;
    if ($x > 199) {
        $a += $x * round($x + 7 * pow(4, ($x / 290)));
    }
}
echo $a;

Upon request I can also provide snipets of the excel sheet. So the gist of what the issue I am having is this. Between level 199 and 200 the iteration of the loop is running one extra time through the initial formula. As you can tell at level 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000 I want this formula to change so that it simplifies the amount of exp required to achieve the next level. I can not for the life of me figure out how to restrict the loop while still allowing the values 200 up to run through it for the first 199 iterations.

The output I should get from the primary code for levels 199 through 201 are as follows: 199 =  200 =  201 = 

At level 199 I am good but for whatever reason it runs one additional iteration at the level 1-199 formula and then moves on to the 200 level formula messing up the values.

Any and all help is much appreciated. I am a novice hobbyist at best and have been doing this for many, many years now but sometimes I get stumped. I chalk it up to lack of proper training and time to really be serious with it.

Thanks in advance....NICON

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?
