OK, I'm trying to transform the following arrays in PHP into one multi-dimensional array. Given its 2 in the morning this is beyond my poor brain. The arrays are:
| Code: |
Array
(
[3] => title1
[4] => title2
[5] => title3
[6] => title4
[7] => title5
[8] => title6
[9] => title7
)
Array
(
[3] => description1
[4] => description2
[5] => description3
[6] => description4
[7] => description5
[8] => description6
[9] => description7
)
Array
(
[3] => tags1
[4] => tags2
[5] => tags3
[6] => tags4
[7] => tags5
[8] => tags6
[9] => tags7
)
|
The index for each array is an ID which i would like o be part of the new array, so i would like it to look something like this: | Code: |
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id] => 3
[title] => title1
[description] => description1
[tags] => tags1
)
[1] => Array
(
[id] => 4
[title] => title2
[description] => description2
[tags] => tags2
)
[2] => Array
(
[id] => 5
[title] => title3
[description] => description3
[tags] => tags3
)
[3] => Array
(
[id] => 6
[title] => title4
[description] => description4
[tags] => tags4
)
[4] => Array
(
[id] => 7
[title] => title5
[description] => description5
[tags] => tags5
)
[5] => Array
(
[id] => 8
[title] => title6
[description] => description6
[tags] => tags6
)
[6] => Array
(
[id] => 9
[title] => title7
[description] => description7
[tags] => tags7
)
)

PHP would be nice, but I'm stuck on logic, not syntax, so anything that can help is great. Thanks

You can use classes. i.e. | Code: |
class newClass {
public $id;
public $title;
public $descrip; function __construct() {
//constructor code here
}
}
|
then create the array and populating it with instances of the class. (i've never actually done this other than in C++ and Java but I'm assuming that using your sais of PHP syntax you could get it popping.)

Maybe I'm about to say something really dumb, but why don't you just write a function to iterate through the arrays and build a new one? Something like:
| Code: |
//Feed this function an array consisting of the single-depth arrays you want merged
//e.g. mergeArrays(array('titles'=>$arrTitles, 'tags'=>$arrTags))
//returns an array, with "index" form your example as the index,
//with all the fields from your example as values for each index function merge_arrays($arrArrays)
{
$arrNew = array();
foreach ($arrArrays as $arrName=>$arrData){
foreach ($arrData as $key=>$value){
$arrNew[$key][$arrName]=$arrData;
}
}//end foreach return $arrNew;
}//end function
