PHP - Compare Arrays
I need to compare several arrays...to narrow down a bunch of mysql selects.
I can't figure out which of the array_diff, array_unique, array_merge options there are. I need to get an array of umpires (baseball), then compare that to the array of umpires that can work a given level, then compare that to the array of umpires that can work at that school, and finally compare that to the array of umpires who have asked for the day off. In the code below, all of the selects work...the echo's that are commented out printed out what I expected them to. I'm having a problem with the array comparisons at the end of this code: Code: [Select] <?php //connect to database $dbc = mysql_pconnect($host, $username, $password); mysql_select_db($db,$dbc); //get info of game $sql = "SELECT sport,home,day FROM games WHERE `game_id` = $_GET[game]"; $rs = mysql_query($sql,$dbc); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $game_array = $row['sport']; $home_team_array = $row['home']; $game_day_array = $row['day']; } //list of all umpires in association $sql = "SELECT ump_id FROM ump_names WHERE '$_SESSION[association_id]' = `association_id`"; $rs = mysql_query($sql,$dbc); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $name_array[] = $row['ump_id']; // echo "<br /><br />All Ump ID's Array = "; // foreach($name_array as $name_array_final) { // echo $name_array_final . "<br />"; // } } //get bad schools list $sql = "SELECT ump_id FROM bad_school WHERE '$_SESSION[association_id]' = `association_id` AND `school` = '$home_team_array' and `sport` = '$game_array'"; $rs = mysql_query($sql,$dbc); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $bad_school_array[] = $row['ump_id']; // echo "<br /><br />Bad School Array = "; // foreach($bad_school_array as $bad_school_array_final) { // echo $bad_school_array_final . ", "; // } } //get official list at this game's level $sql = "SELECT ump_id FROM ump_names WHERE `association_id` = '$_SESSION[association_id]' AND `$game_array` = '1'"; $rs = mysql_query($sql,$dbc); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $official_level_array[] = $row['ump_id']; // echo "<br /><br />Officials that can work this level of game = "; // foreach($official_level_array as $official_level_array_final) { // echo $official_level_array_final . ", "; // } } //get vacation list $sql = "SELECT ump_id FROM days_off WHERE '$_SESSION[association_id]' = `association_id` AND `day` = '$game_day_array'"; $rs = mysql_query($sql,$dbc); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($rs)) { $days_off_array[] = $row['ump_id']; // echo "<br /><br />Officials that are on vacation this day = "; // foreach($days_off_array as $days_off_array_final) { // echo $days_off_array_final . ", "; // } } //$first_step = array_merge($official_level_array, $name_array); $first_step = array_merge($official_level_array, $name_array); $first_step_part_2=array_unique($first_step); //$second_step = array_merge($bad_school_array, $first_step); $second_step = array_merge($bad_school_array, $first_step_part_2); $second_step_part_2=array_unique($second_step); //$third_step = array_merge($days_off_array, $second_step); $third_step = array_merge($days_off_array, $second_step_part_2); $third_step_part_2=array_unique($third_step); echo "These umpires are available for this game:<br />"; foreach ($third_step as $iamavailable) { echo "$iamavailable<br />"; } ?> This prints out: Quote 2 1 2 4 5 6 10 14 15 3 7 8 9 11 12 13 16 17 It should only print out 4, 5, 6, 10, 14, 15. What I want to do is: compare $official_level_array and $name_array...only keep those that are in $official_level_array. Then, compare that result with $bad_school_array...removing those in the $bad_school_array...and keeping the ones that are left. Then, compare that result, with $days_off_array...removing those in the $days_off_array...and keeping the ones that are left. Print out what's left... Where am I going wrong? Similar TutorialsHi,
please help me to solve my query... I was incurring a problem in executing a PHP code which executes 'n' number of data sets..
For example -- in the below shown outputs, I need to eliminate executing the 4th output which is similar (repeated data) to the 1st output,
input output
4,4,5,6,5 4,4,5,5,6
4,4,5,7,5 4,4,5,5,7
4,4,5,7,6 4,4,5,6,7
4,4,6,5,5 4,4,5,5,6
Kindly send me the function details to execute it without repetition.
Thanks a lot for your support!

Hi guys, I am new to PHP/coding and am trying to look for 1. A way of comparing the words in one static array against other dynamically created arrays (created from mysql queries) 2. Work out how many similar words there are - then assign that number to that array My static array is...$comparewithme = array with values = this is an example of an array Mysql_query("select id, words from table_example") Results from query are put into an array that is named according to id.. $result2 = array with values = this is an example of queries $result3 = array with values = this is not an example of php Comparison should give the following info Comparing $comparewithme with $result2 should generate a hit rate of 5 (similar words=this is an example of)... Comparing $comparewithme with $result3 should generate a hit rate of 4 (similar words=this is an example)... Any ideas greatly appreciated...thanks in advance I have two arrays, X and Y, which contain names. The arrays are of the same size. The arrays are related to each other such that for each pair X[n] , Y[n] X is friends with Y. For example: X[0,1,2] = [Link, Cloud, Cloud, Mario, Mario, Luigi] Y[0,1,2] = [Zelda, Barrett, Tifa, Luigi, Bowser, Mario] Link is friends with Zelda Cloud is friends with Barrett and Tifa Mario is friends with Luigi and Bowser Luigi is friends with Mario I want to loop through these arrays and, for each unique name, find all of that person's friends. I then want to print the results to a text file, like so: Link, Zelda Cloud, Barrett, Tifa Mario, Luigi Luigi, Mario I know how to do this theoretically, but I just need help with the PHP syntax. Thanks very much. 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.
Hi, I want to compare the tables from 2 mysql databases in a table. This is what I have: for($i=0;$i<$maxCount;$i++) { echo "<tr>"; // start row //fist data square if ($i < count($db1)) echo "<td>{$db1[$i]}</td>"; else echo "<td></td>"; echo "<td></td>"; // middle //last if ($i < count($db2)) echo "<td>{$db2[$i]}</td>"; else echo "<td></td>"; echo "</tr>"; // end row } that will put make a nice table for me to see. What I'd like to do next is have all identical sql tables lined up. So for e.g I have 2 arrays of table names that will look like this: Databse 1 Database 2 table1 table1 table2 table3 table4 table4 does that make sense? Also is there a more elegant way of scripting what I have? Can php be used to get two blog entries and compare them side by side, with a choice one which one to use. A bit like wikipedia has ? 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? Hi everyone! I've been looking for a solution, but i just can't find it anywhere... Ok, so the problem is: i have a database which looks something like this: user_id product_id score 14 . 235 . 79 23 . 235 . 32 53 . 665 . 21 14 . 235 . 90 5 . 675 . 45 This is step-by-step of what i need to do: 1. Select user - user_id =343 2. For user_id =343 select all products that he gave score to: product_id = 43 - score = 99 product_id = 12 - score = 56 product_id = 68 - score = 32 product_id = 124 - score = 67 3. Find all users that voted for the same products e.g.: for product_id = 43: user_id = 125 voted 93 points, user_id = 23 voted 56 points. 4. Calculate the difference between the score of user, so: for product_id = 43: user_id = 125 voted 93 points (99 - 93 =6 points of diff.) user_id = 23 voted 56 points (99 - 56 =43 points of diff.) return the results.... That's basically what i need to do. I still don't know the number of the users, or product, but it doesn't really matter - i just need to make it work. Ok, hope someone can help! I know the forum is supposed to be used to help with any code I have come up with but here's to taking a shot anyway: I am in need of creating a php script that will allow me to input two different XML files and upon pressing "go" will compare these two files and save only the differences to a new xml file. Thing is, I have no idea where to start. Are there any php functions that exist that I can use to do this? If not, cn someone help me create one? Would this be better handled in javascript? If so, how can I do so using a method similar to the above? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated. how to compare date with current date let say $date="2010-10-08 2:00 PM" how can i compare $date with current date and get the result in days, hours, minutes and seconds thanks I have this code that compares date times but im not sure if its correct. if("2008-08-10 00:00:00.0" > strtotime("now")) { echo "here"; } The code echo's here, but it shouldn't because the time is less than the current time. Any ideas? Hi! What should the code be if I get an IP address to a postback url and I want to find that member in my database who has that IP-address? The postback comes like this http://yoursite.com/postback.php?ip=xxx Please help Hi, I am trying to write an SQL to XML converter, so so far I have all the records inputted into the db tables, and now I want to append a child, but I don't know how to compare current row's field value with the next row below it, specifically I want to check if a current row is parent of the next row. I have already got the XML to SQL function working (some bugs but for the most part it's working) So for eg: <?php $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM edge"); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query) ) { if($row['target'] is parent of the next row), then append the next row as child of current row } ?> Table edge is one of the tables that hold target node/source(aka: parent) nodes. Any help much appreciated! I run an article directory. I was wondering how I could check an article that is currently pending review against published articles in our database. What I am looking to do is to place the content of the body in the pending article into a variable. That much is easy and I know how to do that. Then I would like to use that variable to compare against other content in our database and have it output a percentage of how close it is to any other article already published in our database. Any direction our guidance with this would be so greatly appreciated. Thanks! I thought I was able to determine which DateInterval is greater the same as done with DateTime, however, either this is not true or I am doing something wrong. Please advise.

Hi! I have a table called "Categories" Here is the structu id | Categories | ParentCategories 1 | Rings | Parent Category 2 | Pendants | Parent Category 3 | Ladies Rings | Rings 4 | Ladies Pendants | Rings 5 | Gents Rings | Gents 6 | Necklaces | Parent Category But Necklaces is one of those who is not going to have any subcategories or you can say, it is going to be a category by itself. So how can I construct a php statement to get data out of MySQL to determine that Necklaces is a Category which does not have subcategories. Please help ! Thank you ! - Xeirus. Not sure if there is a better way to do this, but I want to check whether the value in a Sticky Field is the same as what is in the Database. If what is in the Sticky Field is *exactly* what is in the Database, then the User didn't update that field, and so I would NOT do an UPDATE. Seem reasonable? Here is where I grab the value out of the Form... Code: [Select] // **************************** // Process Each Form Field. * // **************************** foreach($_POST['answerArray'] as $questionID => $response){ // Copy trimmed Form array to PHP array. $answerArray[$questionID] = trim($response); And here is where I grab the existing value in the Database... Code: [Select] // ******************** // Check for Answer. * // ******************** // Build query. $q1 = "SELECT response FROM bio_answer WHERE member_id=? AND question_id=?"; // Prepare statement. $stmt1 = mysqli_prepare($dbc, $q1); // Bind variable to query. mysqli_stmt_bind_param($stmt1, 'ii', $memberID, $questionID); // Execute query. mysqli_stmt_execute($stmt1); // Store results. mysqli_stmt_store_result($stmt1); // Check # of Records Returned. if (mysqli_stmt_num_rows($stmt1)==1){ // Answer Found. // Bind result-set to variable. mysqli_stmt_bind_result($stmt1, $currResponse); // Fetch record. mysqli_stmt_fetch($stmt1); So I guess I want to compare $answerArray[$questionID] against $currResponse and see if there are any differences?! What is the best way to do that? Any better ideas of how to check to see if the User made any changes to a field so I only do an UPDATE if there was actually a change? Thanks, Debbie I am able to run and display two queries I need for my program but having issues comparing the two result sets. If they are identical, means both tables are also identical (the query is for the table's schemas in MS-SQL) Here's the relevant part ... Code: [Select] //Variables $table_name=$_POST['table_name']; // Connect via Windows authentication $server = 'win1\i01'; //Connection info for PRO $connectionInfoPRO = array( 'Database' => 'adventureworks', 'CharacterSet' => 'UTF-8' ); $dbPRO = sqlsrv_connect($server, $connectionInfoPRO); if ($dbPRO === false) { exitWithSQLError('Database connection to PRO failed'); } //Connection info for ITG $connectionInfoITG = array( 'Database' => 'adventureworksCOPY', 'CharacterSet' => 'UTF-8' ); $dbITG = sqlsrv_connect($server, $connectionInfoITG); if ($dbITG === false) { exitWithSQLError('Database connection to ITG failed'); } /* Set up and execute the query. */ $query1 = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, ORDINAL_POSITION, COLUMN_DEFAULT, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, IS_NULLABLE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='$table_name'"; // Run PRO query $qresult1 = sqlsrv_query($dbPRO, $query1); if ($qresult1 === false) { exitWithSQLError('Query of product data failed.'); } echo '<tr><th>NAME</th><th>TYPE</th><th>POSITION</th><th>DEFAULT</th><th>LENGHT</th><th>IS NULLABLE</th></tr>'; // Retrieve individual rows from the result while ($row1 = sqlsrv_fetch_array($qresult1)) { echo '<tr><td>', htmlspecialchars($row1['COLUMN_NAME']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row1['DATA_TYPE']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row1['ORDINAL_POSITION']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row1['COLUMN_DEFAULT']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row1['CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row1['IS_NULLABLE']), "</td></tr>\n"; } // null == no further rows, false == error if ($row1 === false) { exitWithSQLError('Retrieving schema failed.'); } //Run ITG query $query2 = "SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, ORDINAL_POSITION, COLUMN_DEFAULT, CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH, IS_NULLABLE FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS WHERE TABLE_NAME='$table_name'"; $qresult2 = sqlsrv_query($dbITG, $query2); if ($qresult2 === false) { exitWithSQLError('Query of product data failed.'); } echo '<tr><th>NAME</th><th>TYPE</th><th>POSITION</th><th>DEFAULT</th><th>LENGHT</th><th>IS NULLABLE</th></tr>'; // Retrieve individual rows from the result while ($row2 = sqlsrv_fetch_array($qresult2)) { echo '<tr><td>', htmlspecialchars($row2['COLUMN_NAME']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row2['DATA_TYPE']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row2['ORDINAL_POSITION']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row2['COLUMN_DEFAULT']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row2['CHARACTER_MAXIMUM_LENGTH']), '</td><td>', htmlspecialchars($row2['IS_NULLABLE']), "</td></tr>\n"; } // null == no further rows, false == error if ($row2 === false) { exitWithSQLError('Retrieving schema failed.'); } How can I compare $row1 and $row2 here (the query results for each one) and validate if they both have same results, each and all columns. Any help is highly appreciated! I am building a site that needs to update member accounts on a weekly basis. At the moment I have a cron job set for 12:01 am on Monday, that resets five database fields for all of my members. The first field is the current week, the second field is the previous week, the third field is from two weeks ago, the fourth field is from three weeks ago, and the fifth field is from four weeks ago. Obviously the cron job resets the first field to 0, and the data from this field is moved to field two (last week), and so on and so forth, and the data from the fifth field is just removed altogether. However, this is really not preferred, because if/when I get 1000+ users, the cron job will take up a crapload of CPU as many mysql queries need to be executed for each account. So, I am trying to implement a script that checks the last login date for a user, and if they have have not logged in since before the latest Monday, the Monday before that, the Monday before that, or the Monday before that, etc. I have never really worked with dates, so I don't even know how to begin. The last user login is stored as a DATA datatype in a mysql database, and is in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD. Thanks in advance! |
