I have an one doubt with conditional array in php.
Here is my code,
foreach($orders as $order) {
array_push($list, array($order['name'],$order['email'],$order['buyer_accepts_marketing']));
}
Still now i got the value of $order['buyer_accepts_marketing'] is 1, but I want value as true.
I tried, but didn't get exact answer.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!.
You can cast your value as boolean (c.f. http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.type-juggling.php):
foreach($orders as $order) {
array_push($list, array(
$order['name'],
$order['email'],
(boolean) $order['buyer_accepts_marketing']
));
}
Just FYI, a shortcut for array_push would be:
foreach($orders as $order) {
$list[] = array(
$order['name'],
$order['email'],
(boolean) $order['buyer_accepts_marketing']
);
}
I generally find that it looks nicer :)
If you want to do more complex logic to get your boolean value you could create a new variable for it:
foreach($orders as $order) {
$buyer_accepts_marketing = false;
if( $order['buyer_accepts_marketing'] ) $buyer_accepts_marketing = true;
array_push($list, array(
$order['name'],
$order['email'],
$buyer_accepts_marketing
));
}
If you want to instead set your buyer_accepts_marketing value to a string value of "true" or "false", then do:
foreach($orders as $order) {
$buyer_accepts_marketing = "false";
if( $order['buyer_accepts_marketing'] ) $buyer_accepts_marketing = "true";
array_push($list, array(
$order['name'],
$order['email'],
$buyer_accepts_marketing
));
}
Just be aware that a string "true" is not boolean, nor is "false". For example:
if( "true" == true ) echo "It's true";
Will echo "It's true". However, so will:
if( "false" == true ) echo "It's true";
That's because any string that isn't set to "0" or "" will evaluate as true.
print_r doesn't seem to explicitly acknowledge booleans, but it it is in fact a boolean. See this example: codepad.org/5fzAbKO8You can simply use
foreach($orders as $order) {
if( $order['buyer_accepts_marketing'] ){
$buyer_accepts_marketing = "true";
}
$list[] = array(
$order['name'],
$order['email'],
$buyer_accepts_marketing;
);
}
