PHP - Merging Data From Two Multidimensional Arrays

Ok, I have a couple multidimensional arrays that I am having problems with but it's all the same problem so I'll just use one. Basically it just takes input from a form and either creates or appends the array and then makes it a session variable. My problem seems to the the appending part. When I go to show the array (print_r() atm) it has only made the array with the newest record rather than adding the newest record to the existing set. Anyway here's the code.

<?php session_start(); ?>

$cushion = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Cushion"];
$fabric = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Fabric"];
$fill = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Fill"];
$button = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Button"];
$contWelt = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Contrasting_Welt"];
$contWeltFab = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Contrasting_Welt_Fabric"];
$zip = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Zipper"];
$quantity = $_POST["Order_a_cushion_group_Quantity"];
if($contWelt == "N"){
    $contWeltFab = "N/A";
}
if($_POST["Default_submit"] == "Checkout"){
    
    if(!isset($_SESSION["cushArray"])){
        $cushArray = array(array(Cushion=> $cushion,
                                 Fabric=> $fabric,
                                 Fill=> $fill,
                                 Button=> $button,
                                 ContWelt=> $contWelt,
                                 ContWeltFabric=> $contWeltFab,
                                 Zipper=> $zip,
                                 Quantity=> $quantity)
                                 );
        $_SESSION["cushArray"] = $cushArray;
    }else{
        $sub = array(Cushion=> $cushion,
                       Fabric=> $fabric,
                    Fill=> $fill,
                    Button=> $button,
                    ContWelt=> $contWelt,
                    ContWeltFabric=> $contWeltFab,
                    Zipper=> $zip,
                    Quantity=> $quantity
                    ));                
        $_SESSION["cushArray"] = $sub;
    }
    
                             
    //header("Location:orderUserInfo.php");
    print_r($_SESSION["cushArray"]);
    
}elseif($_POST["Default_submit"] == "Add more"){
    //echo "WTF";
    if(!isset($_SESSION["cushArray"])){
        $cushArray = array(array(Cushion=> $cushion,
                                 Fabric=> $fabric,

                                 Zipper=> $zip,
                                 Quantity=> $quantity)
                                 );
        $_SESSION["cushArray"] = $cushArray;
    }else{
        $sub = array(Cushion=> $cushion,
                       Fabric=> $fabric,
                    Fill=> $fill,

any help is greatly appreciated.

How do I find out how large a dimension of an array is?

I have an array with an X and a Y coordinate, and in the 3rd dimension I store it as the value of an ID.

so an array might be x,y,560; x,y,415, etc. I can run a counter within the loop to determine the total number of iterations of the loop, but that isn't an accurate picture of how large the 3rd dimension of the array is.
 

I have an array titled $uhits that looks like this:

Array (
    => Array ( [user] => test
      [hits] => 20 )
   [3] => Array (
      [user] => test3
      [hits] => 6 )
   [4] => Array (
      [user] => test4
      [hits] => 6 )
   [1] => Array (
      [user] => test1
      [hits] => 4 ) 
   [2] => Array (
      [user] => test2
      [hits] => 4 ) )

I've searched and tried so many different functions and  am losing my mind after trying for 3 hours to be able to search for a specific user's value and then display it and the hits value.  How in the world can I achieve this?

Hi,

I am building an online store, and have been using a tutorial to get me started.
I have been adjusting the code as I require additional functionality and I have hit a brick wall...

I have a multidimensional array that contains all of the information I have passed from the product page.
What I want to do is write a piece of PHP code that will increase the quantity of a particular item based on 2 of 3 variables matching the data in the array.
Below is the full working code which runs the adjustment based on...

Code: [Select]
<?php
if ($key == "item_id" && $value == $item_to_adjust) {
?>

What I want to do is add to the if statement like so...

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (($key == "item_id" && $value == $item_to_adjust) && (($key == "custom_txt" && $value == $custom_txt) || ($key == "img" && $value == $fileName))) {
?>

But this code doesn't seem to work, Is there another way to get the result I am after?

Code: [Select]
<?php 
//       Section 3 (if user chooses to adjust item quantity)
if (isset($_POST['item_to_adjust']) && $_POST['item_to_adjust'] != "") {

$item_to_adjust = $_POST['item_to_adjust'];
$custom_txt = $_POST['custom_txt'];
$fileName = $_POST['fileName'];
$quantity = $_POST['quantity'];
$quantity = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $quantity); // filter everything but numbers
if ($quantity >= 100) { $quantity = 99; }
if ($quantity < 1) { $quantity = 1; }
if ($quantity == "") { $quantity = 1; }
$i = 0;
foreach ($_SESSION["cart_array"] as $each_item) { 
      $i++;
      while (list($key, $value) = each($each_item)) {
  if ($key == "item_id" && $value == $item_to_adjust) {
  // That item is in cart already so let's adjust its quantity using array_splice()
  array_splice($_SESSION["cart_array"], $i-1, 1, array(array("item_id" => $item_to_adjust, "quantity" => $quantity)));
  } // close if condition
      } // close while loop
} // close foreach loop
}
?>

Thanks in advance!

Suppose I have a multidimensional array...

$AnArray[1][$j]

I'd like to count how many $j

So if $AnArray = array(0 => array('orange', 'banana', 'apple'), 1 => array('carrot', 'collard', 'pea','tuna'));

The count I'm after would be 4...

How do i ouput it like this

Code: [Select]
Array
(
[Griffin] => Array
  (
  [0] => Peter
  [1] => Lois
  [2] => Megan
  )
[Quagmire] => Array
  (
  [0] => Glenn
  )
[Brown] => Array
  (
  [0] => Cleveland
  [1] => Loretta
  [2] => Junior
  )
)
rather than this

Code: [Select]
Array ( [field_name] => first_name [field_type] => 1 [max_length] => 20 ) Array ( [field_name] => last_name [field_type] => 1 [max_length] => 40 ) Array ( [field_name] => email [field_type] => 1 [max_length] => 80 )
Code: [Select]
  $fields = array();
 
  foreach ($_POST['use'] as $field){
 
      $fields = array(
  "field_name"=>$field,
  "field_type"=>$match_types[$i],
  "max_length"=>$match_length[$i]);

print_r($fields);

echo $fields[0]['field_name'];
 
  //echo $field.' - Type: '.$match_types[$i].' - Lenght: '.$match_length[$i]."<br />";
 
  $i++;
 
      }

Hello there I'm new and quite stuck. 

So here we go!

I have the following HTML form.
Code: [Select]
<form method="post" action="/Install/Step02/">
  Server: <input type="text" name="MySQL[Server]" /><br />
  Database: <input type="text" name="MySQL[Databaser]" /><br />
</form>

Now to my understanding I should receive something along the lines of $_POST['MySQL']=>array();.
But instead I get an empty string.

Why is this?
           

Hi all

I have an array and within that array that list categories. Each category has a sub category.
I am trying to output in JSON and my problem is this:

I am looping through each category and displaying the results. As the category has sub categories I am then looping through them and displaying the sub categories.
This works fine, but my JSON is not valid because of a single comma:

Code: [Select]
{
   "config":{
      "logo":"uploads\/global_config\/scaled_",
      "deliveryCost":19.99,
      "showPrice":"true"
   }

All help welcomed

I have a MySQL query that pulls multiple columns with many rows.  I want to break each column into its own array.
Here is what I have to this point but doesn't seem to be working.  Is this the right direction or is there something easier?
Thanks!

Code: [Select]

$query = "SELECT name, address, city, state FROM customers WHERE sku = '12345'";
$result = mysqli_query($dbc, $query) or die();

$name = array();
$address = array();
$city = array();
state = array();

while ($data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)) {
  $name = $data['name'];
  $address = $data['address'];
  $city = $data['city'];
  $state = $data['state'];
}

Hi everyone,

If you take a look at my code below I am having trouble echoing the key/ value pair of the 'sex' array which is a sub array of 'pens'.  I have tried so many different ways but to no avail, thanks Chris!

Code: [Select]
<?php
$products = array(
'paper' => array(
'copier' => "Copier & Multipurpose",
'inkjet' => "Inkjet Printer",
'laser'  => "Laser Printer",
'photo'  => "Photographic Paper"),

'pens' => array(
'ball'   => "Ball Point",
'hilite' => "Highlighters",
'marker' => "Markers",
'sex' => array (
'condom' => "Protection")),

'misc' => array(
'tape'   => "Sticky Tape",
'glue'   => "Adhesives",
'clips'  => "Paperclips") );

echo "<pre>";
foreach ($products as $section => $items )

foreach ($items as $key => $value)
echo "$section:\t$key\t($value)<br>";

echo "</pre>";
?>

I'm very beginner with arrays.... i KNOW, databases exist, it's more easy.. I can't use a database.. I have to use, this.. or similar.. that doesn't requiring a database engine... 

So... that array...

array (
     array(string, int, int, string, string),
     array(string, int, int, string, string),
     array(string, int, int, string, string),
    ....+250
     array(string, int, int, string, string)

);

I search by the element [#][0].. in the +250 some will contain the same infos and I would like to make them point to the element containing the info instead of repeating it and have to update at 3-4 places when it's time. Like what it's in "10" also good for "ten", "dix" and "diez"...

anyway to make that simple?  by reference or...???

I'm crying.. last time I used arrays... Turbo Pascal.. at school... or was it Turbo C++ 3.0?? Maybe it was with cobol... well it was the good ol' time of the 90s!

 

Thanks!

Hey all,

I wrote a crawler and have already written the string to extract links. i get a multidimensional array.
this is #13 for example

Array[0][13] => <a class="menuitem" href="/home-news.html" title="Home / News">Home / News</a>
Array[1][13] => /home-news.html

ok so far so good. Now I want to extract the name Home / News and write that into a database and the link as well. can i use the preg_match_all() to search an array? or how can i extract it?

Thanks so much! monkover

Hi all

I have a question about how to store parsed data into a multidimensional arrays -- I can store items into an array, but multidimensional arrays mystify me a bit.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I'm storing the images in a table, grouped according to their table and their descriptions, so that later when I call the images, I can display them accordingly. I'm using the Simple HTML DOM Parser.  So say I have two tables, one with three images, and another with one.  I'd like the resulting to array to look like:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => image1.jpg
            [1] => 1st Variation Description
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => image2.jpg
            [1] => image3.jpg
            [2] => image4.jpg
            [3] => 2nd Variation Description
        )

)

This is what I have so far:
Code: [Select]
$html = str_get_html($vartables);   
$varinfo = array();
foreach($html->find('table') as $table){
        $varinfo[] = $table->innertext;
}
print_r($varinfo);

Which yields:

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [0] =>
 <tr>
  <td width=150>
Description1
 </td>

 <td><a href="image1.jpg">
<img src="image1" height=100 border=1></a>
  </td>
 </tr>

    [1] =>
 <tr>
  <td width=150>
Description2
  </td>

<td><a href="image2.jpg">
<img src="image2.jpg" height=200 border=1></a>
  </td>
  <td><a href="image3.jpg">
<img src="image3.jpg" height=200 border=1></a>

  </td>
 <td><a href="image4.jpg">
<img src="image4.jpg" height=200 border=1></a>
  </td>
 </tr>

)

I'd like to strip out the html and keep the .jpg's and descriptions together in a multidimensional array...unfortunately my newbness is getting the better of me there, I'm researching but running into a roadblock.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi all,

I hope someone can help me out here as I think I am close but am not sure where to go from here.  The problem is:
I have a cms where a user can see a list of photos in the gallery.
I provide them the ability to select what photos they want to appear on a particular webpage.
The problem I have is that the user wants to be able to put the photos in whatever order they choose.

So, I have a form (see attached), the html code is:

          <table width="566px" cellspacing="0" border="0">              <tr>
                <td width="33%">
                  <div class="serviceCell">
<input type='checkbox' checked='checked' name='photos[][0]' value='119' />&nbsp;Bathroom Sin...
<img src="./images/help.gif" title="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage." alt="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage."/>&nbsp;<input type="text" size="2"  name="photos[][1]" value="0"/>                  </div>
                </td>
                <td width="33%">
                  <div class="serviceCell">
<input type='checkbox' checked='checked' name='photos[][0]' value='113' />&nbsp;Courtyard 1
<img src="./images/help.gif" title="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage." alt="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage."/>&nbsp;<input type="text" size="2"  name="photos[][1]" value="0"/>                  </div>
                </td>
                <td width="33%">
                  <div class="serviceCell">
<input type='checkbox' name='photos[][0]' value='114' />&nbsp;Courtyard 2
<img src="./images/help.gif" title="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage." alt="Enter an integer to signify the order in which this image will appear on the webpage."/>&nbsp;<input type="text" size="2"  name="photos[][1]" value=""/>                  </div>
                </td>
              </tr>...

Now, lets assume that the user ticked the box next to 'Courtyard 2' and entered an integer '1' in the input box to signify that this image should be displayed 1st on the chosen webpage.  These 2 values go into the multidimensional array (photoid, ranking) and are submitted in the form to php in the photos[][] array.

But here is where I have the problem.  I am trying to extract the values from the array and then do an insert to a table in mysql.  My syntax must be wrong somewhere so I am asking anyone to please offer any advice:

  if (isset($_REQUEST['submitted'])){   
       $photos = $_REQUEST['photos'];
...

    if(!empty($photos)){
       foreach($photos as $photoID){
         $sql = "INSERT IGNORE INTO menuItemPhotos
                SET photoid='$photoID[0]', menuItemid='$id', ranking='$photoID[1]'";
        $ok = @mysql_query($sql); // execute the query
      } // End of foreach($photos as $photoID){
    } // End of if(!empty($photos)){

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to split a string into an array and then seeing what sort of data it is.

eg;

I get the following string

Quote

api=somerandomkeyhere&user=someuser&password=somehashvaluehere&type=somethingelse


I need to be able to put this into an array so in this case

Code: [Select]
myarray[type]=somethingelse
myarray[api]=somerandomkeyhere
myarray[user]=someuser
myarray[password]=somehashvaluehere
but it could include many more/less different value's separated by the & symbol.

Thanks,
