PHP - Multidemensional Arrays?
Hi there.
In my database table i have multiple records with multiple values that need to be fetched into an array. I think i need to do this as a multidimensional array but i'm not sure how. I can also put each record into a sepperate array but then i'm not sure how to increase the arrays name within the while loop. Hers an example: while ($recruits = mysql_fetch_assoc($recruitsquery)) { $recruit1 = array(name => $recruits['name'], health => $recruits['health'], damage => $recruits['damage'] } So how would i change $recruit1 in the next loop to $recruit2? Or how would i build a multidimensional array? Similar TutorialsI can't quite figure out how to sort this array the way I want. I have tried "array_multisort" but can only get one demension to sort. Here is the array... $catagory = array( array('Catagory 1', 8, array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 1', 8), array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 2', 9), array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 3', 7), array('Sub Catagory 1 Item 4', 6), ), array('Catagory 2', 10, array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 1', 6), array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 2', 5), array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 3', 9), array('Sub Catagory 2 Item 4', 10), ), ); I would like the top catagories sorted in desending order and all the subcatagories sorted in desending order. The result would sort like this... Catagory 2 = 10 Sub Catagory 2 Item 4 = 10 Sub Catagory 2 Item 3 = 9 Sub Catagory 2 Item 1 = 6 Sub Catagory 2 Item 2 = 5 Catagory 1 = 8 Sub Catagory 1 Item 2 = 9 Sub Catagory 1 Item 1 = 8 Sub Catagory 1 Item 3 = 7 Sub Catagory 1 Item 4 = 6 How can I achieve this. Thanks for any help. I have this thing that i am trying to make but i cant get it to work.. can anyone help? Code: [Select] function sql_read( $dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword ) { $names = array(); $password = array(); $connect = @mysql_connect("mysql11.000webhost.com",$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die("Could Not Connect"); @mysql_select_db ($dbname) or die("Could not find DataBase"); $query = mysql_query("select * from users"); $numrows = mysql_num_rows($query); if ($numrows > 0){ while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){ $names[] = $row["uname"]; $password[] = $row["password"]; $id = $row["id"]; } $return = array($names,$password,$id); }else{ $return = array(); } return $return[]; } $names = array(); $names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0]; The error i get is Code: [Select] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/a5480952/public_html/sql/index.php on line 28 Line 28 is "$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];" Please help... i REALLLLD need help with this.. ask questions if you want to know more about what i am trying to do... thanks! I'm having troubling with trying to create a function to spit out a single array with the following array. I can write it in a away that looks through the arrays manually. the results i am trying to generate is that each item in generated array. Array to convert array( "account" => array( "login", "register", "logout", "edit", ), "p" => array( "report", ), "array1.0" => array( "array2.0" => array( "array3.0", "array3.1 ), "array2.1", ), generating the array will look like this
Array ( [0] => account [1] => account/login [2] => account/register [3] => account/logout [4] => account/edit [5] => p [6] => p/report [7] => array1.0 [8] => array1.0/array2.0 [9] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.0 [10] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.1 [11] => array1.0/array2.1 ) The idea is that id generates a single array with combined labels and arrays inside, etc. I just can't figure out how to create a script that will create this array even If I add a new value or array.
I have two arrays, both with the same key values. I'd like to combine them. So for instance... Code: [Select] <?php $array1['abcd'] = array( 'value1' => "blah", 'value2' => "blahblah"); $array1['efgh'] = array( 'value1' => "ha", 'value2' => "haha", 'valuex' => "xyz"); $array2['abcd'] = array('value3' => "three", 'value4' => "four"); $array2['efgh'] = array( 'value3' => "hohoho", 'value6' => "six6"); function combine_arrays($array1,$array2) { //*combining* return $single_array; } echo "<pre>"; print_r(combine_arrays($array1,$array2)); echo "</pre>"; /* would produce ['abcd'] = ( 'value1' => "blah", 'value2' => "blahblah", 'value3' => "three", 'value4' => "four" ) ['efgh'] = ( 'value1' => "ha", 'value2' => "haha", 'valuex' => "xyz", 'value3' => "hohoho", 'value6' => "six6" ) */ ?> What's the easiest way to do this? Code: [Select] $data=array('user1'=>'pass1','user2'=>'pass2'); now i would like that echo prints out the user1 word. Code: [Select] echo $data[?what here?]; Let's say I have an array like this: Man1(0), Man1(1), Man1(2), etc. Man2(0), Man2(1), Man2(2), etc. Man3(0), Man3(1), Man3(2), etc. ... and I want to loop through the array. I know I can do: Code: [Select] $i=0; while $i<=99 {//...do something with Man1[$i];} i++; but can I also do a loop with each Man? Like: Code: [Select] $i=0;$a=1; while $i<=99 {//...do something with Man$a[$i];} i++;a++; I've written all the code for each Man separately and I'm thinking there's got to be a way to shorten the code with another loop, but I don't know how. Hope that makes sense. Thanks. Hi, I am trying to specify a new variable that points to two columns from a table, I think I need to use an array but not sure how to code it. The reason I want one variable instead of two is because it will be used as a dynamic link for home teams and away teams to link to the team page, hope that makes sense. Here is the code I currently have: Code: [Select] <?php $query = "SELECT tr.competition, tr.date, tr.htp, tr.hts, tr.ats, tr.atp, tr.et, tr.htpts, tr.atpts, tth.team as hometeam, tta.team as awayteam FROM test_selections ts LEFT JOIN (test_results tr, test_teams tth, test_teams tta) ON (tth.teamid = tr.hometeam AND tta.teamid = tr.awayteam) WHERE ts.userid = '{$_SESSION['userid']}' AND (tr.hometeam = ts.teamid OR tr.awayteam = ts.teamid) GROUP BY tr.resultid ORDER BY tr.resultid DESC"; $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $team = array($row['hometeam'], $row['awayteam']); ?> Any help would be very much appreciated. Hi i'am try to insert multiple data on a single submit, but i'm a total noob to Arrays, can any one help me out here... one of the members send me this out, but still i can figure it out how to insert the fields onto my database. it inserts but doesnt get the valuee..

From the $solution_order array (developed from the $order variable, where each $order variable looks like '0321' or '3021'), I'd like to create a new array $ordered_solutions, which indexes on the values picked from the $solution_order array. For example, if my $solutions array is (Big, Small, Fat, Skinny) and my $solution_order array is (2,3,1,0), then the final results should be (Fat, Skinny, Small, Big). I've written down what I have so far. Any thoughts about how to move this forward would be appreciated. Thanks! function GetOrder($solution, $wrong1, $wrong2, $wrong3, $order) { $solutions = array( $solution, $wrong1, $wrong2, $wrong3); $solution_order = array(substr($order,0,1), substr($order,1,1), substr($order,2,1), substr($order,3,1)); $ordered_solutions = array(); //what do to here?? return $ordered_solutions; } Hi Guys, I have an array Code: [Select] $arr When i run this function Code: [Select] print_r($arr) I get the output below:- -------------------------------- Code: [Select] Array ( [WHMCSAPI] => Array ( [ACTION] => getclientsproducts [RESULT] => success [CLIENTID] => 87 [PID] => 13 [DOMAIN] => dfgbhcgnd.com [TOTALRESULTS] => 1 [STARTNUMBER] => 0 [NUMRETURNED] => 1 [PRODUCTS] => Array ( [PRODUCT] => Array ( [ID] => 196 [CLIENTID] => 87 [ORDERID] => 218 [PID] => 13 [REGDATE] => 2011-12-07 [NAME] => Walderizer [DOMAIN] => dfgbhcgnd.com [DEDICATEDIP] => [SERVERID] => 3 [FIRSTPAYMENTAMOUNT] => 55.00 [RECURRINGAMOUNT] => 55.00 [PAYMENTMETHOD] => banktransfer [PAYMENTMETHODNAME] => Bank Transfer [BILLINGCYCLE] => Monthly [NEXTDUEDATE] => 2011-12-07 [STATUS] => Active [USERNAME] => vitaforiz [PASSWORD] => ghTfg476fg [SUBSCRIPTIONID] => [LASTUPDATE] => 0000-00-00 00:00:00 [CUSTOMFIELDS] => Array ( [CUSTOMFIELD] => Array ( [NAME] => IP Address [VALUE] => ) ) [CONFIGOPTIONS] => ) ) ) ) --------------------------------- My question is, how can i print only certain parts of the data rather than printing the whole array.

This is the return from the script (var_dump): array(1) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#2 (2) { ["question"]=> object(stdClass)#3 (4) { ["id"]=> int(25) ["created"]=> string(25) "2011-01-05T01:19:43+01:00" ["name"]=> string(4) "test" ["message"]=> string(4) "qasd" } ["answers"]=> array(1) { [0]=> object(stdClass)#4 (4) { ["id"]=> int(25) ["created"]=> string(25) "2011-01-05T01:25:06+01:00" ["name"]=> string(17) "Andreas Haakonsen" ["message"]=> string(3) "ler" } } } } A ticket can have several answers. I just can't seem to figure out how to extract/use this data and present it on my webpage. Too many arrays for me to understand I guess :p Is there anyone who can help me with some small code to help me figure this one out? Thanks! Okay so here is a very simplified version of my code in order to try and illustrate what I am trying to do: $C1 = array (174,30); $C2 = array (165,80); $S = array($C1, $C2); foreach ($S as $cluster) { $number = '5000'; $another_number = '4565'; $cluster[0] = $number; } I feel like this should be really simple but its not working. So basically I'm trying to change the first value of the array select (e.g. C1 or C2) to whatever is in the variable $number. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks I'm not sure if this can be done, but I would like to get the sum for each $.row[''] result ex: if $row['robotics'] had values of 100,150,300 I would like to be able to show a total of 550 Code: [Select] <?php echo "<Table border=1>"; echo "<tr><td></td><td>Robotics</td><td>Chiral Stuctors</td><td>Enriched Uranium</td><td>Mechanical Parts</td><td>Coolant</td><td>Consumer Electronics</td><td>Precious Metals</td><td>Reactive Metals</td><td>Oxygen</td><td>Toxic Metals</td></tr>"; $result = mysql_query("select * from `pi`"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo "<tr><td>".$row['pilot']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['robotics']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['chiralstuctors']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['enricheduranium']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['mechanicalparts']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['collant']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['consumerelectronics']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['preciousmetals']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['reactivemetals']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['oxygen']."</td>"; echo "<td>".$row['toxicmetals']."</td></tr>"; } echo "</table>"; ?> I am trying to learn about sorting and modifying arrays and I am practicing on a book assignment but need some help to grasp what I need to do. If you go here, you will see how it is supposed to work. http://198.86.244.3/mabarckhoff/WEB182/ch11_ex1/ I need to write a case to sort the task when you click the sort button and modify when you click that button. The delete button works and the add task works. I understand the sort array and have added that case, but don't know how to get it to work with the submit. Also there is a promote button so would need 'promote' what ever you have chosen in the dropdown menu to the top.

Thanks I have some similar arrays. How I can combine them to shuffle the new array? Ok i am trying to create a simple program that will allow mwe to use an array with 8 numbers, the output form should show the numbers in their original order that the user inputs them, in numerical order, Highest number, lowest number and then the average number. I am confused on what logic i would use to do this. If anyone could help me get started it would be much appreciated. here's waht i have so far. Code: [Select] <?php $Num1 = $_POST['fielda']; $Num2 = $_POST['fieldb']; $Num3= $_POST['fieldc']; $Num4 = $_POST['fieldd']; $Num5 = $_POST['fielde']; $Num6 = $_POST['fieldf']; $Num7 = $_POST['fieldg']; $Num8 = $_POST['fieldh']; $Numbers = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8); $big = max($Numbers); $small = min($Numbers); $average = array_sum($Numbers) / 8; ?> I have created two classes. One is called 'move' and the other 'unit'. To make my example easier to follow, I shall use the much loved pokemon series to explain my dilemma. Here are the class declarations. new class unit { var $name, $moves; public function newUnit($name, $moves) { $this->name = $name; $this->moves = $moves; } } new class move { var $name, $attack; public function newMove($name, $attack) { $this->name = $name; $this->moves = $moves; } } Now I shall instantiate these classes (if that makes sense xD) - I just started OOP yesterday, do mind my ignorance. $unit = array(); $move = array(); $unit[0] = new unit; $unit[0]->newUnit("picachu",array("thunderbolt","quick-attack")); Now, let's say I want to populate the $move array with the moves in the unit object (thunderbolt and quick-attack). I can retrieve their attack values from a database: $thunderboltAttack = 200; $quick-attackAttack = 40; I now want to create a function that will create instances of the 'move' class to produce: $move[0] = new move; $move[0]->newMove("thunderbolt",200); $move[1] = new move; $move[1]->newMove("quick-attack",40); Here is my dire attempt to do so: function createUnits($moves){ //$moves is the array holding the unit's moves for($i; $i < count($moves); $i++) { $arr[] =new move; $arr[count($units) - 1]->name = $moves[0]; $arr[count($units) - 1]->attack = $someAttackData; } return $arr; } $moves[] = createUnits; I'm ending up with a multi-dimensional array when I want a linear one like this: $move[0] = new move; $move[0]->newMove("thunderbolt",200); $move[1] = new move; $move[1]->newMove("quick-attack",40); What do I need to do. Do I have to resort to making $move global from within the function and do things that way? Hello, I have 2 array questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with. 1) First, I'm trying to add elements to a previously existing array. I start with: $data = array('text' => $_POST['text'], 'question_type' => $_POST['question_type'], 'solution' => $_POST['solution'], 'filename' => $filename, 'author_id' => $_POST['author']); Then, under certain circumstances, I'm going to want to add the following to the array $data: 'incorrect_solution1' => $_POST['incorrect_solution1'], 'incorrect_solution2' => $_POST['incorrect_solution2'], 'incorrect_solution3' => $_POST['incorrect_solution3']) I tried the concatenation function, combined with an if statement but then PHP thinks that I have a string. 2) Once I have the array, I want to shuffle the solution and 3 incorrect solution indices. I'm not sure how to shuffle just a portion of an array. Any help with either or both questions would be appreciated. Thank you. I have ticket's for my lottery system. Somone chooses 3 random numbers out of 36, it will show 1|20|30 but now I want to beable to have my Members BUY multiple Tickets! So then I added a comma between the 3 arrays So the code will look like this when they select the balls they want Code: [Select] 1|20|30,20|10|5 /etc /etc But now I have 1 problem. How do I go about validating the arrays for each COMMA inside the | ARRAY? Cause let's saY I don't want anyone to Submit a ball number higher then "36" how would I go about making it so it checks through each array and if it's higher then 32 I can give them a Error? Also, I each Ticket costs (5 Forum Gold) so the above code would be a total of 10 Forum Gold, because they're "2" Tickets being bought, how would I go about making a $counter++ in the arrays to count only the "," so I can tell how much Gold the member needs to have before he purchases Thanks |
