Hi!
I've got a nested tree structure which is based on the array below:
Array
(
[1] = Array
(
[id] = 1
[parent] = 0
[name] = Startpage
[uri] = 125
[basename] = index.php
[child] =
)
[23] = Array
(
[id] = 23
[parent] = 0
[name] = Events
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] = Array
(
[24] = Array
(
[id] = 24
[parent] = 23
[name] = Public news
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] = Array
(
[27] = Array
(
[id] = 27
[parent] = 24
[name] = Add
[uri] = 100
[basename] = news.public.add.php
[child] =
)
[28] = Array
(
[id] = 28
[parent] = 24
[name] = Overview
[uri] = 101
[basename] = news.public.overview.php
[child] =
)
)
)
[25] = Array
(
[id] = 25
[parent] = 23
[name] = Private news
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] = Array
(
[29] = Array
(
[id] = 29
[parent] = 25
[name] = Add
[uri] = 67
[basename] = news.private.add.php
[child] =
)
[30] = Array
(
[id] = 30
[parent] = 25
[name] = Overview
[uri] = 68
[basename] = news.private.overview.php
[child] =
)
)
)
[26] = Array
(
[id] = 26
[parent] = 23
[name] = Calendar
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] = Array
(
[31] = Array
(
[id] = 31
[parent] = 26
[name] = Add
[uri] = 69
[basename] = news.event.add.php
[child] =
)
[32] = Array
(
[id] = 32
[parent] = 26
[name] = Overview
[uri] = 70
[basename] = news.event.overview.php
[child] =
)
)
)
)
)
)
I'm looking for a function to loop (recursive?) through the array and remove some keys.
I my system I can allow users to certain functions/pages and if I deny access to the whole "block" "Events", the array will look like this:
Array
(
[1] = Array
(
[id] = 1
[parent] = 0
[name] = Startpage
[uri] = 125
[basename] = index.php
[child] =
)
[23] = Array
(
[id] = 23
[parent] = 0
[name] = Events
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] = Array
(
[24] = Array
(
[id] = 24
[parent] = 23
[name] = Public news
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] =
)
[25] = Array
(
[id] = 25
[parent] = 23
[name] = Private news
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] =
)
[26] = Array
(
[id] = 26
[parent] = 23
[name] = Calendar
[uri] = 0
[basename] =
[child] =
)
)
)
)
As you can see above, the whole "block" "Events" is useless right now, becuase there is no page associated with each option. So I need to find all "keys" where "basename" is null AND where child is not an array or where the array is empty and remove them.
I found this function when searching the site:
function searchAndDestroy(&$a, $key, $val){
foreach($a as $k = &$v){
if(is_array($v)){
$r = searchAndDestroy($v, $key, $val);
if($r){
unset($a[$k]);
}
}elseif($key == $k && $val == $v){
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
It can be used to remove a key any where in the array, but only based in one thing, for example remove all keys where "parent" equals "23". But I need to find and remove (unset) all keys where "basename" is null AND where child isn't an array or where the array is empty.
Can anyone help me out and possibly tweak the function above?
Thank you,
