PHP - Too Many Variables Vs Arrays

Okay I have a function that stores data into an Array.  The function takes about 7 seconds to run and through a number of different loops it creates one final array with about 15,000 keys.  I want to recall this data a number of times in different functions, however how can I have this data easily accessible without running the function each time.

EX:
Code: [Select]
function theFunction()
{
   for($x=0;$x,=15000;$x++)
   {
   //Run the loop and store data.
   $string[$x] = //output from other loops and calculations
   }
   return $string
}

//Then later on if I want to recall the data the only way I know how is to do the follow:
$newstring = theFunction()

The only problem I have with this is that it has to re-run the function every time in order to get to the data it spits out.  How can I store this data into another array outside of the function without having to re-run it?

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks.

I'm having troubling with trying to create a function to spit out a single array with the following array. I can write it in a away that looks through the arrays manually. 

the results i am trying to generate is that each item in generated array.

Array to convert

array(
    "account" => array(
        "login",
        "register",
        "logout",
        "edit",
    ),
    "p" => array( 
        "report",
    ),
    "array1.0" => array( 
        "array2.0" => array(
            "array3.0",
            "array3.1
        ),
        "array2.1",
    ),

generating the array will look like this

 

Array ( 
[0] => account 
[1] => account/login 
[2] => account/register 
[3] => account/logout 
[4] => account/edit 
[5] => p 
[6] => p/report 
[7] => array1.0 
[8] => array1.0/array2.0
[9] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.0
[10] => array1.0/array2.0/array3.1
[11] => array1.0/array2.1

)

The idea is that id generates a single array with combined labels and arrays inside, etc. I just can't figure out how to create a script that will create this array even If I add a new value or array. 

 

I have this thing that i am trying to make but i cant get it to work.. can anyone help?

Code: [Select]
function sql_read( $dbname,$dbusername,$dbpassword )
{
$names = array();
$password = array();


$connect = @mysql_connect("mysql11.000webhost.com",$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die("Could Not Connect");
@mysql_select_db ($dbname) or die("Could not find DataBase");


$query = mysql_query("select * from users");
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);

if ($numrows > 0){

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){

$names[] = $row["uname"];
$password[] = $row["password"];
$id = $row["id"];

}
$return = array($names,$password,$id);

}else{
$return = array();
}


return $return[];
}



$names = array();

$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];


The error i get is
Code: [Select]
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '[' in /home/a5480952/public_html/sql/index.php on line 28
Line 28 is "$names = sql_read("XXXXXX","XXXXXX","XXXXXXX")[0];"

Please help... i REALLLLD need help with this.. ask questions if you want to know more about what i am trying to do... thanks!

I have two arrays, both with the same key values. I'd like to combine them. So for instance...

Code: [Select]
<?php
$array1['abcd'] = array( 'value1' => "blah", 'value2' => "blahblah");
$array1['efgh'] = array( 'value1' => "ha", 'value2' => "haha", 'valuex' => "xyz");

$array2['abcd'] = array('value3' => "three", 'value4' => "four");
$array2['efgh'] = array( 'value3' => "hohoho", 'value6' => "six6");

function combine_arrays($array1,$array2)
{

//*combining*
return $single_array;
}

echo "<pre>";
print_r(combine_arrays($array1,$array2));
echo "</pre>";

/*
would produce 

['abcd'] = ( 'value1'  => "blah",
                 'value2'  => "blahblah",
                 'value3'  => "three",
                 'value4'  => "four" )

['efgh'] = ( 'value1' => "ha",
                 'value2' => "haha",
                'valuex'  => "xyz",
                'value3' => "hohoho",
                'value6' => "six6" )
*/
?>
What's the easiest way to do this?

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

Code: [Select]
$xml='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hi. I have some code which needs to return a single variable from the function and stored as a variable within this page, so it can be echoed later on in the page. I couldn't get it to return as a variable, so i used "return compact();" to return the variable and "extract (myFunction());" to extract it to variables. However, when I turned on php's display errors and error reporting function, I got an error message saying "Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /my/web/site/index.php on line 6" (which is where my extract function is). This works fine with passing more than one variables through, is there another way pass one variable from a function to be stored as a variable on the page which called the function?

Here is the function:
Code: [Select]
<?php
//This is a list of numeric error codes against their text. this will return the error code as the variable $issue
function checkLoginIssue() {

//If there is an error code
if (isset($_GET["issue"])) {
 
  //cycle through the list until the code is reached, return the text and break the switch
    switch ($_GET["issue"]) {

      case "1":
              $issue = '<p class="warning">Please log in to view this page</p>';
              break;
  
      case "2":
              $issue = '<p class="warning">Wrong Username or Password</p>';
              break;

        case "3":
              $issue = '<p class="warning">No user found with those details</p>';
              break;

    }
 
 //return the variable in an array with a single value
 return compact('issue');
 
}
 
}
?>
And here is the code which calls the function:
Code: [Select]
<?php
extract(checkLoginIssue());
?>

hi all,

how can i make this array dynamic. E.g, i want the numbers to be pulled from a database...
Code: [Select]
$s=array(
"1",
"2",
"3",
"4",
"5",
"6",
"7",
"8",
"9",
"10",
"11",
"12",
"13",
"14",
"15",
"16",
"17",
"18",
"19",
"20"

);


thanks in advance, i just cant work it out

Ok so this link returns HTML

$hitlist = file_get_contents($iMobLink."get_hit_list?user_id=".$iStore[2]."&level=10&auth_key=".$iStore[3]);

now to parse it out I have this

$entry = explode('<entry>', $hitlist);
$hitlist = file_get_contents($iMobLink."get_hit_list?user_id=".$iStore[2]."&level=10&auth_key=".$iStore[3]);
    $user_id = explode('<user_id>', $hitlist);
$user_id = explode('</user_id>', $user_id[1]);
$mobname = explode('<mob_name>', $hitlist);
$mobname = explode('</mob_name>', $mobname[1]);
$paiduser = explode('<paid_user>', $hitlist);
$paiduser = explode('</paid_user>', $paid_user[1]);
    $amount = explode('<amount>', $hitlist);
$amount = explode('</amount>', $amount[1]);
$paid_time = explode('<placed_time_ago>', $hitlist);
$paid_time = explode('</placed_time_ago>', $paid_time[1]);
$level = explode('<level>', $hitlist);
$level = explode('</level>', $level[1]);
$entry = explode('</entry>', $entry[1]);
echo $user_id[0]."\n";
echo urldecode($mobname[0])."\n";
echo $amount[0]."\n";
echo $paid_time[0]."\n";
echo $level[0]."\n";
echo $entry[0];}

Ok now.... this only returns one entry of the xml when there are more than 10. I need it to return all ten+ of the entrys

here is what the xml looks like

Hi Guys,

I have an array Code: [Select]
$arr
When i run this function Code: [Select]
print_r($arr)
I get the output below:-

--------------------------------

Code: [Select]
Array
(
    [WHMCSAPI] => Array
        (
            [ACTION] => getclientsproducts
            [RESULT] => success

                                        (
                                            [NAME] => IP Address
                                            [VALUE] =>
                                        )

                                )

                            [CONFIGOPTIONS] =>

                        )

                )

        )

)
---------------------------------

My question is, how can i print only certain parts of the data rather than printing the whole array. For example i only want to echo the values for [NAME], [USERNAME], [PASSWORD] and [NEXTDUEDATE] from the [PRODUCT] part of the array

Thanks in advance

I have ticket's for my lottery system.

Somone chooses 3 random numbers out of 36, it will show

1|20|30

but now I want to beable to have my Members BUY multiple Tickets! So then I added a comma between the 3 arrays


So the code will look like this when they select the balls they want

Code: [Select]
1|20|30,20|10|5 /etc /etc

But now I have 1 problem.

How do I go about validating the arrays for each COMMA inside the | ARRAY?  Cause let's saY I don't want anyone  to Submit a ball number higher then "36" how would I go about making it so it checks through each array and if it's higher then 32 I can give them a Error?

Also, I each Ticket costs (5 Forum Gold) so the above code would be a total of 10 Forum Gold, because they're "2" Tickets being bought, how would I go about making a $counter++ in the arrays to count only the "," so I can tell how much Gold the member needs to have before he purchases

Thanks

I have some similar arrays. How I can combine them to shuffle the new array?

Arrays in C are fixed length:

#define MAX_SIZE 5

int main(void){
  int n[ 5 ]; 
  for(int i=0;i<MAX_SIZE;i++){
    n[i]=i;
  }
  return 1;

If I try to insert an eleement into the array, it will result in undefined behavior.   Java compensates for this by creating an actual object class called ArrayList or LinkedList, the former an internal store of array elements that dynamically resizes and the latter just a node tree with pointers to next and previous elements.

ArrayList<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<Integer>();
arr.add(1);
arr.add(2);

It seens that the array() construct in PHP is not a function or a class but an internal construct. How does it dynamically resize arrays?

Hello! i want to store data in a array (as seen in the code). Im trying to make it so that a php code search through the arrays and find the correct one. once it does it tells me. I dont know if im close, How ever this is what i have.


$carrier = $_POST['carrier'];

$carriers = array(
array("verizon","tmobile","sprint","att","virgin","textnow","metro","unknown"),
array("@vtext.com","@tomomail.net","@messaging.sprintpcs.com","@txt.att.net","@vmobl.com","@textnow.me","@mymetropcs.com","@teleflip.com")
            );

If ($carrier = 

I have created two classes. One is called 'move' and the other 'unit'. To make my example easier to follow, I shall use the much loved pokemon series to explain my dilemma.

Here are the class declarations.


new class unit {
var $name, $moves;

public function newUnit($name, $moves) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->moves = $moves;
}

}

new class move {
var $name, $attack;

public function newMove($name, $attack) {
$this->name = $name;
$this->moves = $moves;
}

}


Now I shall instantiate these classes (if that makes sense xD) - I just started OOP yesterday, do mind my ignorance.



$unit = array(); 
$move = array();

$unit[0] = new unit; $unit[0]->newUnit("picachu",array("thunderbolt","quick-attack"));



Now, let's say I want to populate the $move array with the moves in the unit object (thunderbolt and quick-attack). I can retrieve their attack values from a database:



$thunderboltAttack = 200;
$quick-attackAttack = 40;



I now want to create a function that will create instances of the 'move' class to produce:



$move[0] = new move; $move[0]->newMove("thunderbolt",200);
$move[1] = new move; $move[1]->newMove("quick-attack",40);



Here is my dire attempt to do so:



function createUnits($moves){  //$moves is the array holding the unit's moves

for($i; $i < count($moves); $i++) {

$arr[] =new move;
$arr[count($units) - 1]->name = $moves[0];
$arr[count($units) - 1]->attack = $someAttackData;

}
return $arr;
}

$moves[] = createUnits;



I'm ending up with a multi-dimensional array when I want a linear one like this:



$move[0] = new move; $move[0]->newMove("thunderbolt",200);
$move[1] = new move; $move[1]->newMove("quick-attack",40);




What do I need to do. Do I have to resort to making $move global from within the function and do things that way?

Hello,

I have 2 array questions that I'm hoping someone can help me with.

1) First, I'm trying to add elements to a previously existing array.  I start with:

$data = array('text' => $_POST['text'],

   'question_type' => $_POST['question_type'],

  'solution' => $_POST['solution'],

  'filename' => $filename,

   'author_id' => $_POST['author']);
Then, under certain circumstances, I'm going to want to add the following to the array $data:

      'incorrect_solution1' => $_POST['incorrect_solution1'],

'incorrect_solution2' => $_POST['incorrect_solution2'],

'incorrect_solution3' => $_POST['incorrect_solution3'])

I tried the concatenation function, combined with an if statement but then PHP thinks that I have a string.

2) Once I have the array, I want to shuffle the solution and 3 incorrect solution indices.  I'm not sure how to shuffle just a portion of an array.

Any help with either or both questions would be appreciated.

Thank you.
