PHP arrays. There must be a simpler method to do this
- by RisingSun
I have this array in php returned from db
Array
(
[inv_templates] = Array
(
[0] = Array
(
[inven_subgroup_template_id] = 1
[inven_group] = Wires
[inven_subgroup] = CopperWires
[inven_template_id] = 1
[inven_template_name] = CopperWires6G
[constrained] = 0
[value_constraints] =
[accept_range] = 2 - 16
[information] = Measured Manual
)
[1] = Array
(
[inven_subgroup_template_id] = 1
[inven_group] = Wires
[inven_subgroup] = CopperWires
[inven_template_id] = 2
[inven_template_name] = CopperWires2G
[constrained] = 0
[value_constraints] =
[accept_range] = 1 - 7
[information] = Measured by Automated Calipers
)
)
)
I need to output this kind of multidimensional stuff
Array
(
[Wires] = Array
(
[inv_group_name] = Wires
[inv_subgroups] = Array
(
[CopperWires] = Array
(
[inv_subgroup_id] = 1
[inv_subgroup_name] = CopperWires
[inv_templates] = Array
(
[CopperWires6G] = Array
(
[inv_name] = CopperWires6G
[inv_id] = 1
)
[CopperWires2G] = Array
(
[inv_name] = CopperWires2G
[inv_id] = 2
)
)
)
)
)
)
I currently do this stuff
foreach ($data['inv_templates'] as $key = $value) {
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_group_name'] = $value['inven_group'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_subgroup_id'] = $value['inven_subgroup_template_id'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_subgroup_name'] = $value['inven_subgroup'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_templates'][$value['inven_template_name']]['inv_name'] = $value['inven_template_name'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_templates'][$value['inven_template_name']]['inv_id'] = $value['inven_template_id'];
}
return $processeddata;
EDIT : A var_export
array (
'inv_templates' =
array (
0 =
array (
'inven_subgroup_template_id' = '1',
'inven_group' = 'Wires',
'inven_subgroup' = 'CopperWires',
'inven_template_id' = '1',
'inven_template_name' = 'CopperWires6G',
'constrained' = '0',
'value_constraints' = '',
'accept_range' = '2 - 16',
'information' = 'Measured Manual',
),
1 =
array (
'inven_subgroup_template_id' = '1',
'inven_group' = 'Wires',
'inven_subgroup' = 'CopperWires',
'inven_template_id' = '2',
'inven_template_name' = 'CopperWires6G',
'constrained' = '0',
'value_constraints' = '',
'accept_range' = '1 - 7',
'information' = 'Measured by Automated Calipers',
),
),
)
The foreach is almost unreadable. There must be a simpler way
