PHP - Splitting An Iptc Array

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?

Hey guys,   I have an array of names sorted alphabetically. I'm trying to loop through them and create new arrays keyed by the letters of the alphabet containing the names which start with that letter.     so in the end i'm trying to create something like this:   $newarray = array( 'a' => array('anna','alan','andrew'),                                'b' => array('bert','ben','bob'),
                               'c' => array('cait','carry'),                                  etc,etc );   thanks        

I'm using smarty and php to collect parameters from a user defined tag in cmsms that looks like this... 

Code: [Select]
{schedule date="2010-11-13" time="7:05 p.m." location="Evansville" home="Oakland City" vs="Evansville" winner="University of Evansville" results="82-42"}

{schedule date="2010-11-15" time="7:00 p.m." location="Oakland City" home="Oakland City" vs="OSU-Lima" winner="OSU-Lima" results="68-67 2OT"}
etc...

As you can see each {schedule tag above has the same home="" value.  Thats because its schedule dates just for THAT team (i.e. Oakland City).  So I may have 10 of these tags on the same page.  But I also have other places where the schedule tag is used with a different $home name for another team.  So basically I'm calling ALL these schedule tags into one for loop like this...


Code: [Select]
for ($i=0; $i < count($params['date']); $i++) {
    $date= $params['date'];
    $time=$params['time'];
    $location= $params['location'];
    $home= $params['home'];
    $vs= $params['vs'];
    $winner= $params['winner'];
    $results= $params['results'];
    $gameinfo = array("date", "time","location","home","vs","winner","results");
    $game_info = compact($gameinfo);   

}

All I want to do is spit back out the total wins for each $home team.  I am pulling out my hair out trying to get this thing to work but no luck yet, even though I see a little light. This is what I got so far...

Code: [Select]
for ($i=0; $i < count($params['date']); $i++) {
    $date= $params['date'];
    $time=$params['time'];
    $location= $params['location'];
    $home= $params['home'];
    $vs= $params['vs'];
    $winner= $params['winner'];
    $results= $params['results'];
    $gameinfo = array("date", "time","location","home","vs","winner","results");
    $game_info = compact($gameinfo);   

  if($home == $winner) {
    $wins = array('team' => $winner, 'win' => count($winner));
  }

}

 $smarty->append('mwins',$wins);

print '<pre>';
print_r($wins);
print '</pre>';


and I get this...

Code: [Select]

I want to take all the [win] values for each [team] and add them up this way my final array looks like this...

Code: [Select]

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [team] => Oakland City
            [win] => 18
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [team] => Southern Indiana
            [win] => 24
        )


I know I'm so close but don't know how to solve the condition I need. Any suggestions would be great!!!

bh

I am trying to get rows from MYSQL table (attachment) based on:

Select last five rows where status_id = 1 Select last two rows where status_id = 2

*I did use UNION with two SELECT queries to get whole data as one array.

Now on PHP side...

I have first block for rows having status_id 1 so if there are rows having status_id 1 then PHP should display the data otherwise if there is no row having status_id 1 then PHP should print NO DATA only once.

I have second block for rows having status_id 2 so if there are rows having status_id 2 then PHP should display the data otherwise if there is no row having status_id 2 then PHP should print NO DATA only once.

I did use foreach loop then within loop i did use if condition to check status_id of rows. it works fine when i omit NO DATA part but when i add it. the result shows both rows and NO DATA in first block when there are one or more rows having status_id 1 but no row having status_id 2

Which made me believe that i was doing it the wrong way.

Please guide me

*PS: I know its PHP section the thread should be related to PHP problem but... is it right to use UNION in query? or should i post a new thread in relevant section for guidance?

Trying to do something that I think should be very simple. Let's assume that I have an array populated with the numbers 1 to 24 for this example.

I need to output these items in 4 columns to accomodate my CSS layout but still have them read from left to right, top to bottom. I also want this to be somewhat dynamic - I'm okay hardcoding it to split into 4 columns, but need it to handle any number of items in the array.

I'm not sure if the best way to do this would be to split the original array into an array for each of the 4 columns, or to loop through the original array 4 times and output items 1+4, 2+4, and so on. Or maybe I should be using array_filter with some custom callback functions. I'm fine with any solution.

The end result is echoing the array in the following groupings so I can surround each column with the appropriate column HTML for layout (in this case the array actually contains IMG urls):

Column 1: 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21
Column 2: 2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22
Column 3: 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23
Column 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24

Any help would be appreciated! This one is driving me nuts and I know it should be relatively easier. Guess I should stick to HTML + CSS.
