PHP - Array Iteration In A Multi-dimensional

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!

Hello , i am trying to sort a 2d dimensional array by the first column(id) and i havent find anything till now

This is my code for the 2d array:

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$c = 0;

$row=1;
$col=1;
$users_array = array();
$get_from = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM my_activity WHERE from_user='$username'");
while($fetch1 = mysql_fetch_array($get_from)){
$id[$c] = $fetch1[0];
$get_from_user = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM my_activity WHERE id='$id[$c]'");
$get_user_rows = mysql_num_rows($get_from_user);
while($guser = mysql_fetch_array($get_from_user)){
$user[$c] = $guser['to_user'];
$users_array[$id[$c]][$user[$c]]= $id[$c].".".$user[$c];
$c++;
}


}

$get_to = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM my_activity WHERE to_user='$username'");
while($fetch2 = mysql_fetch_array($get_to)){
$id[$c] = $fetch2[0];
$get_to_user = mysql_query("SELECT from_user FROM my_activity WHERE id='$id[$c]'");
while($tuser = mysql_fetch_array($get_to_user)){
$user[$c] = $tuser[0];
$users_array[$id[$c]][$user[$c]]= $id[$c].".".$user[$c];
$c++;
}


}


This is what i get if i simply loop the array to get the result:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [6] => Array
        (
            [checkdate] => 6.checkdate
        )

    [25] => Array
        (
            [asdsadsad] => 25.asdsadsad
        )

    [7] => Array
        (
            [webuser] => 7.webuser
        )

    [9] => Array
        (
            [newuser] => 9.newuser
        )

    [10] => Array
        (
            [bot77un] => 10.bot77un
        )
)

I am trying to sort it by the ids 6,25,7,9,10 in DESC

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');

Hi guys,
I'm still stuck on making this multi-level drop down menu, so I figure that I'll listen to how you guys would do it. I don't necessarily need any code, but just ideas on how to code it.

Basically, I need it to store each item in a database.
It needs to:
be accessed, processed, and formatted with PHP end up returning either a multi-dimensional array, or the raw HTML. Examples: Code: [Select]
<?php
array(
  array(
    'label'=>'Test',
    'link'=>'index.php?r=test',
    'sort'=>0,
    'children'=>array(--blah blah blah--)
  ),
  array(--blah blah blah--)
); Code: [Select]
<div id="menu">
 <ul>
 <li><a href="index.php?r=test"><h2>Test</h2></a>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="blah">Blah</a>
 <ul>
 <li><a href="blah">Blah</a></li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 </ul>
</div>
That's pretty much it. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to help me out. Thank you guys!

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 ! !

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 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.

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.

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

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'];
} ?>

  }
  $this->db->trans_complete();
  if ($this->db->trans_status() === FALSE){print "Transaction Fails";return FALSE;}
  return TRUE;
}

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I'm using the API for Remember the Milk through a PHP class that I found online called PHP-RTM. Anyway after so much headaches (the authentication for the Remember the Milk API is one of the hardest I've ever come across) I've finally connected everything and gotten to the stage that I have some raw data inside an array. The next step is to work with that data.

Basically I want to access the names of the task in a complex multi demensional array and I have no idea how to do this. I have done a var_dump of the array I am working with to show you the complexity. Just remember that in the complex var_dump below there are only 4 tasks:

array(2) { ["stat"]=> string(2) "ok" ["tasks"]=> array(2) { ["rev"]=> string(31) "nxeir6vy9pcgcggoss4wwwooc8cwo8w" ["list"]=> array(3) { [/tt][list][li][tt]=> array(2) { ["id"]=> string( 8) "13927305" ["taskseries"]=> array(2) { [/tt][/li][li][tt]=> array(11) { ["id"]=> string(9) "104056511" ["created"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T12:48:48Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T12:48:48Z" ["name"]=> string(42) "Send confirmation email to luxury car hire" ["source"]=> string(13) "iphone-native" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(0) { } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156815180" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T12:48:48Z" ["completed"]=> string(0) "" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } [1]=> array(11) { ["id"]=> string(9) "104148150" ["created"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T01:25:57Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T01:26:17Z" ["name"]=> string(40) "Confirm that post has been sent with DVD" ["source"]=> string(2) "js" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(0) { } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156951316" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T01:25:57Z" ["completed"]=> string(0) "" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } } } [1]=> array(2) { ["id"]=> string( 8) "13925842" ["taskseries"]=> array(12) { ["id"]=> string( 8) "98105089" ["created"]=> string(20) "2010-12-19T11:25:25Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:01:42Z" ["name"]=> string(25) "Read for one hour per day" ["source"]=> string(13) "iphone-native" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["rrule"]=> array(2) { ["every"]=> string(1) "1" ["$t"]=> string(21) "INTERVAL=1;FREQ=DAILY" } ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(0) { } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156576423" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-01T13:01:45Z" ["completed"]=> string(0) "" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } } [2]=> array(2) { ["id"]=> string( 8) "17007566" ["taskseries"]=> array(11) { ["id"]=> string(9) "104017503" ["created"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T05:45:04Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T02:29:55Z" ["name"]=> string(96) "Hook up watermark for both videos (check email) and send to Rachelle and Steve at compare quotes" ["source"]=> string(2) "js" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(1) { ["contact"]=> array(3) { ["id"]=> string(7) "2150286" ["fullname"]=> string(10) "Samuel Nam" ["username"]=> string(10) "samuel.nam" } } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156754354" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T05:45:04Z" ["completed"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T02:32:00Z" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } } } } }


Anyone know the code i can use to simply get the "name" keys from the complex array below.

HI ! I have a table which captures how customers came to be customer ie 'advertisement', 'friend' etc etc.

So I want to be able to show / count that N number came from referral or advertisement.

My query is simple, I select all from the Media column.

This gives me a multi-dimensional array, where each table row, becomes a new sub array. I have 3000 customers ... that's a quite a few sub arrays ! So, a sample print_r of the array looks like this:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [media] => friend
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [media] => friend
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [media] => friend
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [media] => Coming Over From Old Site


I have tried using a couple of array functions such as count(array,1) and (array_count_values($media)) but they both don't count the individual values out of the sub arrays.

I'm a bit stuck - Can anyone help me ?

Many Many Thanks !!

Hi, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I'm stuck. I'm trying to output individual headers when converted from json into an array. The array contains 6 headers eg. description, url etc but my result looks like the json_decode isn't working. The raw data looks fine when I output from print_r on the page.

The code looks like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
$json_array = json_decode($json,true);

//print_r ($json_array);

foreach ($json_array as $row) {    
echo $row["description"]." = ".$row["url"]."<br />";
----------------------------------------------------------------------

the result is:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
C = C
h = h
=
0 = 0
c = c
C = C
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Can anyone help or point me to a tutorial I can work though. Thanks

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
