PHP - Looping And Updating A Multidimensional Array

I have the following  array structu
Code: [Select]

[0] => Array
        (
            [id] => Array
                (
                    [$t] => http://www.google.com/mate/

Hi, I'm trying to explode an array into a multidimensional array using <br /> tags as splitters but just can't get the syntax right! I can do lines of the array one by one, but not the whole lot at once. I'd really appreciate a quick example of an explode inside an array.

$myarray looks something like this with print_r:
(
    [0] => 
    [1] => some_html<br />some_html<br />some_html<br />
    [2] => some_html<br />some_html<br />some_html<br />
    [3] => some_html<br />some_html<br />some_html<br />
)

and I want to turn it into this:
(
    [0] => 
    [1] =>
     [0]some_html
     [1]some_html
     [2]some_html
    [2] => 
     [0]some_html
     [1]some_html
     [2]some_html
    [3] =>
     [0]some_html
     [1]some_html
     [2]some_html
)

I've tried this
$myarray = explode ("<br />", $myarray);
but it doesn't work …

It doesn't matter too much if there's are a few empty lines in the array from the final <br /> tags.

Many thanks, as ever, for any help.

I need to extract data from a CSV file and insert it into a MySQL database. I am able to extract the data, however I cannot figure out how to group it.

Sample File:
01   ISBN  Name of Book   Price
02   ISBN  Name of Book   Price

So far I have an array with the entire file (reading file with PHP):

Array ([0] => 01 [1] => 12345678X [2] => Title [3] => 120.00 ...etc.

How can I modify the array to create groups of four for each item? Each item is its own array?

I am looking at the code below:

Code: [Select]
$array = array(
                array(
                1, 2
          ),
          'a' => array(
                'b' => 1,
                'c'
        )
);       
Is this an example of a multidimensional array? If so how would I access the value of 1 from key b?

Also would the next line ('c') be automatically assigned to the asociative key of c?

I've been working on some code to:
1. Search a db for rows that have a particular "position" value
2. Search the same db for rows that have a particular "langs" value
3. Compare the two arrays resulting for 1 and 2
4. Create a multidimensional array $langsarray[langs][question id] if 3 is true.
5. For each langs array in $langsarray pick a random, non-duplicate value and add it to $qarray for a maximum of 12 elements (3 for each langs).

What I have works about 95%.

The problem is, in the first langs array, one of the 3 randomly picked values is almost always empty, and its not always the same element. Sometimes its the first, sometimes its the third, sometimes its the second...

I think I've narrowed down the issue to line 44 ($qtemp = ...). If I change the min/max values for the mt_rand function, it behaves slightly differently. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,

I generally find any assistance that I need on various sites, but this one has me stumped. I'm not overly advanced with my use of arrays, so I'd like some help here if anyone knows what I am looking for.

I have a form that I would like to submit to a MySQL database. In that form, there is the ability to add up to 3 harddrives:
Code: [Select]
Brand: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddbrand]" id="hddbrand"><br/>
Model and/or size,type: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddtype]" id="hddtype"><br/>
SN: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddsn]" id="hddsn"><br/>
Notes: <input type="text" name="hdds[0][hddnotes]" id="hddnotes" size="50">
Obviously the next harddrive would be hdds[1][hddbrand], etc.

I am having an awful time looping through this to get more than 1 harddrive's information, however. I've tried foreach embedded in foreach and been messing around with this for a good 3-4 hours now and I feel like I am just missing something.

I've got this right now to debug:
Code: [Select]
foreach($_POST['hdds'] as $key => $a) {
$hddbrand = $a['hddbrand'];
}
my print_r($a) comes up with the following:
Code: [Select]
Array ( [hddbrand] => Toshiba [hddtype] => Shaba 500gb [hddsn] => 5fu8bvw4 [hddnotes] =>none ) 1
Good. That's what I want. But I need some help constructing my array/loop to get the values of more than 1 drive should I have to enter information for more than 1 drive.

I feel like I am close, but I am just not getting what I need. I have not had to work with multidimensional arrays before and they are proving to be more trickier than I expected. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

function tree_gather($node)   //Function to calculate count
  {
    $sql = "SELECT lchild,rchild FROM tree WHERE parent = '$node'";
    $execsql = mysql_query($sql);
    $array = mysql_fetch_array($execsql);
   
    if(!empty($array['lchild']) || !empty($array['rchild']))
    {
   
      $child[] = $array['lchild'];
      $child[] = $array['rchild'];

Hi, I am trying to get a random monster from my multidimensional "monsters" array. I have array monsters, and inside that I have array "ocean" and inside that are "fish", "shark" etc.
like the below, and I am trying to pick out a random monster from the Ocean array. Any help greatly appreciated. thank you. Derek

here is the array

Code: [Select]
$monsters = array

Hey guys I am trying to make a simple shopping cart but I can't seem to wrap my head around this.

I have $_SESSION['cart'] as an array and I can add an item to it and then echo specific elements of the item like so

echo $_SESSION['cart']['0']['Name'];

I can not seem to figure out how to add a second item to the array so I can do something like

echo $_SESSION['cart']['1']['Name'];

and it will echo the second item that I 'added' to my cart?

Thanks I hope that makes sense.

Code: [Select]
while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {   
   $id = $row['id'];
   $col1 = $row['name1'];
   $col2= $row['name2'];
   $col3= $row['name3'];

 ${"$id"} = array("$col1","$col2","$col3");
    ${"$s".$i}[] = ${"$id"};
    }
This is just a brief example of what i'm trying to accomplish,$i is incremented somewhere else. I'm trying to implode the arrays in the array. So below i have imploded the main array but how do i implode the other arrays?

Code: [Select]
for($i=0;$i<11;$i++) {
$array = ${"s" . $i};
$outcomes = implode("",$array); //implodes main array

}

Hi All

I'm new to php and I have a multidimensional array set up which I need to sort for a results list from an assessment.

The array is $gradout['name']['userid']=score.

I need to sort the array by score in a decending order. 

['name'] is a string and ['userid'] is a numeric.

I've tried looking at the php manual but It's just confusing me.  Can anyone explain to me in laymans terms what I need to do and why.

Trying to retun an array which gets a file from a directory and then returns the filename as the key and the complete file url as the value but when returning it it prints out "Array" for each file in the directory rather than the file name:
Doing this in wordpress.

Code: [Select]
function wsme_select_css_theme(){
$alt_css_template_path = WSME_THEME_CSS; // Define path to files
$alt_widgets_template = array(); // set array
$out = ''; // Set var

if ( is_dir($alt_css_template_path) ) { // If directory exists
if ($alt_css_template_dir = opendir($alt_css_template_path) ) { //opens directory
while ( ($alt_css_template_file = readdir($alt_css_template_dir)) !== false ) { //if files are in the directory
if(stristr($alt_css_template_file, ".css") !== false) { //if the files are .css files
$out[] = array($alt_css_template_file => WSME_THEME_CSS.'/'.$alt_css_template_file); //create the array(filename => file path) for each file in the directory
}
}
}
return $out; // return array
}
}


Code: [Select]
array(
            'name' => 'Style',
            'id' => WS_THEME_PREFIX . '_style',
            'headings' => array(
                array(
                    'name' => 'Theme CSS',
                    'options' => array(
                        array('name' => 'Homepage',
                            'desc' => ' select the css file of the theme you want for your site',
                            'id' => WS_THEME_PREFIX . '_theme_css',
                            'value' => '',
                            'options' => wsme_select_css_theme(),
                            'type' => 'select'
                        )
                    )
                )
            )

Any suggestions?

Hi.
I have a multidimensional array and i need sort it by two different key.
I've tried almost every sort function but no chance.

Code: [Select]
Array (
[0] => Array (
[0] => 1 [id] => 1
[11] => this is test [main_txt] => this is test
[12] => 943965420 [add_time] => 943965420
[13] => 1323356400 [add_date] => 1323356400 )
[1] => Array (
[0] => 3 [id] => 3
[11] => another test [main_txt] => another test
[12] => 943965120 [add_time] => 943965120
[13] => 1323702000 [add_date] => 1323702000 )
[2] => Array (
[0] => 32 [id] => 32
[11] => oppss one more test [main_txt] => oppss one more test
[12] => 943944900 [add_time] => 943944900
[13] => 1323702000 [add_date] => 1323702000 )
[3] => Array (
[0] => 5 [id] => 5
[11] => okay, this is last one. Seriously [main_txt] => okay, this is last one. Seriously
[12] => 943937160 [add_time] => 943937160
[13] => 1323615600 [add_date] => 1323615600 )
)
I need sort by add_date(Newer to Older) first then add_time(Later to Earlier) later.

I hope i made my self clear.

Ok I have a multidimensional array and what I want to know is how to use it. I need to pick the items from the array but only the items specified or individual keys in the array how would I go about doing that. Here is the array:
<?php
$monstors = array
(
  "Skeleton"=>array
  (
  "mob_name"=>"Skeleton",
  "mob_attack"=>"5",
  "mob_hp"=>"30",
  "mob_level"=>"1"
  ),
  "Skeleton Fighter"=>array
  (
  "mob_name"=>"Skeleton Fighter",
  "mob_attack"=>"10",
  "mob_hp"=>"35",
  "mob_level"=>"2"
  ),
  "Skeleton Warrior"=>array
  (
  "mob_name"=>"Skeleton Warrior",
  "mob_attack"=>"15",
  "mob_hp"=>"40",
  "mob_level"=>"3"
  )
);
?>
How would I like print_r the element in the array called Skeleton Warrior?

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?
