PHP - How To Solve: Trying To Access Array Offset On Value Of Type Bool

in my code below the **data is extracted correctly for the first foreach but doesn't return anything for 2nd foreach though selected one present inside the 2nd foreach** i still get the error Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() for line `foreach ($authorlist as $post)`... however the 2nd foreach returns data correctly as soon as i remove the first foreach loop. 

Could someone here explain me the reason for this error in detail.....

FYI - i am just more than a fresher in PHP.....

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array

Hi,
I know the problem that I am having is related to the change in PHP5 about strings and arrays, however I do not understand why my script is affected. It seems like I am not trying to add more variables to an array. I do not success in order solve the problem.
Help me please:





// Build View Array
    if ($view_result!=false) {
        $i=0;
        while ($view_row =@ mysql_fetch_array($view_result)){
            $i++;
            $view_rows[$i] = $view_row;

            // build view_comments array
            if ($viewcomments=="yes") {
                $sql = "SELECT * FROM blog_comments WHERE nBlogId=".$view_row["nIdCode"]." ORDER BY nIdCode DESC";

                $result = mysql_query($sql,$con);
                if ($result!=false){
                    $j=0;
                    while ($comment_row =@ mysql_fetch_array($result)){
                        $j++;
                        $view_comment_rows[$i][$j] = $comment_row;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    } else {
        $problem = "2";
    }

    // increment view counter for either the single blog being shown
    // or ALL blogs being shown
//The problem is here   
if ($view_rows[1]["nIdCode"]!="" && strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"admin.php")==false){
        if ($viewmode=="single"){
            $blogid = $view_rows[1]["nIdCode"];
            $sql = "UPDATE blog SET nViews=nViews+1 WHERE nIdCode=".$blogid;
        } else {
            for ($i=1;$i<=count($view_rows);$i++){
                $blog_array[$i] = $view_rows[$i]["nIdCode"];
            }
            $blogids = implode(",",$blog_array);
            $sql = "UPDATE blog SET nViews=nViews+1 WHERE nIdCode IN (".$blogids.")";
        }
        $result = mysql_query($sql,$con);
        if ($result==false){

First off, what are the names for the types of arrays?

What do you call an array that uses integers for the key?

I think when the key is text it is called an associative array?

Anyways...

 

Is there a way to create an array where they keys are integers, but you are defining the first entry?

I would like my array to either start with a "1" or maybe "1001".

How do I do that?

 

Using the following code:

$qwe = array('a','b','c','d','e');

for($i=0; $i<5; $i++)

{

$asd = rand(0, sizeof($qwe)-1);

echo $qwe[$asd];

unset($qwe[$asd]);

}

gives the following error:

Notice: Undefined offset: <offset> in <directory>\<file>.php on line 7

I am writing a data scraping script but i am getting fatal error.Can someone please help me.

My code:-

Error message :-

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in C:\Users\Booone\AppData\Roaming\NuSphere\PhpED\projects\scraping1.php

Error is on this line "$data = file_get_contents('http://xxx.com/'.$city[1][$k].'');"

I'm getting an error: Undefined offset: 1 in… I'm trying to display a 2D array after filling it. It displays fine if I echo it while it's being made, but after it is not working.   I'm making a pyramid solitaire game and am trying to set up the pyramid of cards. There are 7 arrays, each with a set amount of cards in them. The first array only gets one cards while the last array gets seven. This makes it like a pyramid. All the indexes that don't get a card are set to 0. So it looks like this where the 1's are cards:   1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 ​1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 ​1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1   The display2Darray function is what is causing the error. Specifically this line:

if($array[$i][$j] == 0) 

Heres my main code:

<?php
    include_once "pyramidCard.php";
    include_once "pyramidDeck.php";
    
    $theDeck = new Deck();
    $pyramid = array(array(), array(), array(), array(), array(), array(), array());
    $size = 7;

    $theDeck->shuffleCards();
    
    makePyramid($pyramid, $size, $theDeck);
    display2Darray($pyramid, $size);
    
    
    //************************
    //      FRUNCTIONS       *
    //************************
    
    function makePyramid($array, $size, $deck)
    {
        $row = 0;
        for($i = 0; $i < $size; $i++)
        {
            for($j = 0; $j < $size; $j++)
            {

Hi, when I run my script I get the following error message. These are array variables I am passing into the playerAttack function. I can't figure out what is wrong it looks fine to me. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks. Derek

Earlier it was giving an error without  if (is_array($link)) {

Code: [Select]
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array
However after adding it, it wont go to /hospitals-in/District-of-Columbia which is $link[1][1];

Can someone please point me my mistake

I'm trying to develop a Joomla plugin for 1.6/1.7 and from what I've read, future versions are supposed to be php E~STRICT compliant. I know that doesn't mean I have to fix this since it is just a notice, but I am curious how one would hide the error.

Code: [Select]
$task_array = explode('.', JRequest::getVar('task')); # Splits article.save
$task = $task_array[1]; #This is line 58

I know it happens because $task_array is empty, but how can i wrap that in something to stop this Notice error? I've tried !empty() but that doesn't work.

The title makes it sound more complicated than it is.

I have a recurring function that searches for a specific value in a multi-dimensional array. When it finds it, it returns an array of the index.

For example, if it found the value at $array[1][4][2][0], it would return an array like this:
[0]=>1
[1]=>4
[2]=>2
[3]=>0

Here's the function.
Code: [Select]
<?php

// Other Code

/**
 * Find's the parent of an item
 * Unfortunately, it takes a bit more work than just using the loudspeaker at a grocery store
 * @param int $parent The parent to be searched for
 * @param array $array 
 * @param array $cur_index
 */
private function findParent($parent, $array, $cur_index)
{
    for($i = 0; $i < count($array); $i++) { // Search the array
        if($array[$i]['id'] == $parent) { // If the parent is found
            $cur_index[count($cur_index)] = $i;
            return array(true, $cur_index);
        }

        if(count($array[$i][1]) > 1) { // Call findParent again to search the child
            $cur_index[count($cur_index)] = $i;
            $found_in_child = $this->findParent($parent, $array[$i], $cur_index);
            if($found_in_child[0]) {
                return $found_in_child;
            }
        }
    }
    
    return array(false); // Return no matches
}
I need to be able to call that index using the keys from the key array (as we will call it). How can I do that?

Thank you in advance for your help.

When I send values to the foreach they are not recorded in the array.

$x = $getProductID;
$_SESSION['pColors'] = array();

if(isset($_POST['pColors'])) {

    foreach($_POST['pColors'] as $colorKey => $RColors) {
        $_SESSION['pColors'][$colorKey] = $RColors;
    }
}

var_dump($_SESSION['pColors']);

Send date with AJAX:

                $('.addToCart').click(function(){
                    $.ajax({
                        url:""+realLink+"cart.php",
                        method:"POST",
                        data:{action:action,pColors:pColors},
                            success:function(data){
                               //alert(data);
                            }
                    });
                });

Array
(
    [game] => Array
        (
            [id] => 2011012593950636050
            [name] => Array
                (
                    [us] => Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
                    [uk] => Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge
                )


echo print_r($this->game[0]['name']) but undefined offset error.

I don't want to loop through the first array either.

Thanks

Is there a way to find out what the array type is?

Example:
Code: [Select]
$array1 = array('red', 'pizza', '14');
$array2 = array('color' => 'red', 'food' => 'pizza', 'age' => '14');

if(is_recursive($array1)){
     return TRUE;
} else if(is_multidimensional($array2){
     return TRUE;
} else {
     return FALSE;
}

I am trying to pull images from my Flickr account with some success except that of accessing the description to be used as a caption for the image. What I have so far is:-

Code: [Select]
<?php

    //>>> Define some variables
$maximgs = 5;
$images = array();

$params = array(
    'api_key' => '***********************',
    'method' => 'flickr.photos.search',
    'user_id' => '****************',
    'sort' => 'date-posted-desc',
    'format' => 'php_serial',
    'extras' => 'description',
    );

$encoded_params = array();

foreach ($params as $key => $value){
  $encoded_params[] = urlencode($key) . '=' . urlencode($value);
}

    //>>> Make request and decode the response
$url = 'http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?' . implode('&', $encoded_params);

$response = file_get_contents($url);
$response_object = unserialize($response);

    //var_dump($response_object['photos']['photo']);

    //>>> Why is this returning 100 results?
if($response_object['stat'] !== 'ok'){
  echo "Something went wrong!";
}

    //>>> Select the required number of images ($maximgs)
for($loop = 0; $loop <= $maximgs; $loop++){
    $images = $response_object['photos']['photo'][$loop];

    var_dump($images);

    //>>> Url of the individual image location for the img src.
    $imgurl = 'http://farm'.$images['farm'].'.'.'static'.'.'.'flickr.com/'.
    $images['server'].'/'.$images['id'].'_'.$images['secret'].'_n.jpg';

    //>>> Url of the individual image for the link.
    $flkrurl = 'http://www.flickr.com/photos/'.$images['owner'].'/'.$images['id'].'/';

    /*The complete Url
    (<a href="link($flkrurl)">
    <img alt="$images['title']" src="image location"($imgurl) width="required width of image" />
    </a>) */
    $compurl = '<a href="'.$flkrurl.'" target="_blank">'.'<img alt="'.
    $images['title'].'" src="'.$imgurl.'" width="320px" /></a>';

    //>>> Display Images
    echo $compurl . '<br />' . $images['description']['content'];    //<<<<<< Line 66

}

?>
Which annoyingly throws this error:-

Notice: Undefined index: content in C:\wamp\www\php\flickr_test1.php on line 66

The result of a var_dump():-

array
  'id' => string '6914498038' (length=10)
  'owner' => string '************' (length=12)
  'secret' => string '601a885f31' (length=10)
  'server' => string '7137' (length=4)
  'farm' => float 8
  'title' => string 'newhaven_15' (length=11)
  'ispublic' => int 1
  'isfriend' => int 0
  'isfamily' => int 0
  'description' =>
    array
      '_content' => string 'Great reflections found in Newhaven Harbour.' (length=44)

with the info that I want to extract underlined. What I can't figure out is how to find out the name of the array below "description =>". I have been scratching my head for several hours now and am no nearer to working it out. Maybe a genius here will have the solution.
