I have an array like below
Array
(
[0] => country-indonesia
[1] => country-myanmar
[2] => access-is_airport
[3] => heritage-is_seagypsy
)
From that array I want to make separate array only for [country] ,[access], [heritage]
So for that I have to check array value by text before '-'. I am not sure how to do it. so i can't apply code here. I just have the array in PHP
A modified answer, if you want to get the specific types only.
<?php
$arr = [
'country-indonesia',
'country-myanmar',
'access-is_airport',
'heritage-is_seagypsy',
];
$new_array = [];
$types = ['country', 'heritage', 'access'];
foreach ($arr as $element) {
$fac = explode('-', $element);
foreach ($types as $type) {
if ($fac[0] === $type) {
$new_array[$type][] = $fac[1];
}
}
}
$country = $new_array['country'];
$access = $new_array['access'];
$heritage = $new_array['heritage'];
var_dump($new_array);
A simple and easy solution in 3 lines of code using array_walk
<?php
$arr = [
'country-indonesia',
'country-myanmar',
'access-is_airport',
'heritage-is_seagypsy',
];
$new_array = [];
array_walk($arr, function($item) use (&$new_array){
//if(false === strpos($item, '-')) return;
list($key,$value) = explode('-', $item, 2);
$new_array[$key][] = $value;
});
print_r($new_array);
Gives this output:
Array
(
[country] => Array
(
[0] => indonesia
[1] => myanmar
)
[access] => Array
(
[0] => is_airport
)
[heritage] => Array
(
[0] => is_seagypsy
)
)
If you don't want empty and duplicate entries:
<?php
$arr = [
'country-indonesia',
'country-myanmar',
'access-is_airport',
'heritage-is_seagypsy',
];
$new_array = [];
array_walk($arr, function($item) use (&$new_array){
if(false === strpos($item, '-')) return;
list($key,$value) = explode('-', $item, 2);
if(empty($value) || array_key_exists($key, $new_array) && in_array($value, $new_array[$key])) return;
$new_array[$key][] = $value;
});
print_r($new_array);
you can do it by using explode and in_array functions
<?php
$arr = ["country-indonesia","country-myanmar","access-is_airport","heritage-is_seagypsy"];
$newArr = array();
foreach($arr as $k=> $val){
$valArr = explode("-", $val);
if(!in_array($valArr[0], $newArr)){
$newArr[] = $valArr[0];
}
}
print_r($newArr);
?>
You need PHP's strpos() function.
Just loop through every element of the array and try something like:
if( strpos($array[$i], "heritage") != false )
{
// Found heritage, do something with it
}
(Rough example written from my cellphone while feeding baby, may have typos but it's the basics of what you need)
Read further here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.strpos.php
//first lets set a variable equal to our array for ease in working with i.e
// also create a new empty array to hold our filtered values
$countryArray = array();
$accessArray = array();
$heritageArray = array();
$oldArray = Array(country-indonesia, country-myanmar, access-is_airport, heritage-is_seagypsy);
//Next loop through our array i.e
for($x = 0; $x < count($oldArray); $x++){
// now filter through the array contents
$currentValue = $oldArray[$x];
// check whether the current index has any of the strings in it [country] ,[access], [heritage] using the method : strpos()
if(strpos($currentValue,'country')){
//if this particular value contains the keyword push it into our new country array //using the array_push() function.
array_push($countryArray,$currentValue);
}elseif(strpos($currentValue,'access')){
// else check for the access string in our current value
// once it's found the current value will be pushed to the $accessArray
array_push($accessArray,$currentValue);
}elseif(strpos($currentValue,'heritage')){
// check for the last string value i.e access. If found this too should be pushed to //the new heritage array i.e
array_push($heritageArray,$currentValue);
}else{
// do nothing
}
}
//I believe that should work: cheers hope
explode("-", $val)within a loop.
