I have two multidimensional array
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[code] => 2079
[label] => Nike
)
[1] => Array
(
[code] => 1080
[label] => Adidas
)
)
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[manufacturers_id] => 2753
[manufacturers_name] => Reebok
)
[1] => Array
(
[manufacturers_id] => 2526
[manufacturers_name] => Adidas
)
[2] => Array
(
[manufacturers_id] => 34
[manufacturers_name] => Nike
)
)
I want to do string matching of a key label of array 1 with key manufacturer_name of array 2. What is the best approach in multidimensional arrays ?
You could loop trough the arrays.
foreach ($multi_array1 as $value) {
foreach ($multi_array2 as $value2) {
If ($value[label] === $value2 [manufacturer_name])
{}
}
}
If you want to match by label
and manufacturers_name
, then I suggest you reindex your arrays by those fields:
$by_label = [];
foreach($first_array as $element) {
$by_label[$element['label']] = $element['code'];
}
$by_name = [];
foreach($second_array as $element) {
$by_label[$element['manufacturers_name']] = $element['manufacturers_id'];
}
foreach($by_label as $label => $code) {
print "Label is $label, code is $code, id is {$by_name[$label]}";
}
foreach($by_name as $name => $id) {
print "Name is $name, id is $id, label is {$by_label[$name]}";
}
Just use foreach
to accomplish your desire result.
Array
$firstArr = array(
array("code" => 2079, "label" => 'Nike'),
array("code" => 1080, "label" => 'Adidas')
);
$secArr = array(
array("manufacturers_id" => 2753, "manufacturers_name" => 'Reebok'),
array("manufacturers_id" => 2526, "manufacturers_name" => 'Adidas'),
array("manufacturers_id" => 34, "manufacturers_name" => 'Nike')
);
Foreach Technique:
foreach($firstArr as $value){
if(in_array_sec($value['label'])){
echo $value['label'].' found in second array.';
}else{
echo $value['label'].' not found in second array.';
}
}
function in_array_sec($val_one){
global $secArr;
$flag = false;
foreach($secArr as $value){
if($value['manufacturers_name'] == $val_one){
$flag = true;
break;
}
else
$flag = false;
}
return $flag;
}
Result:
Nike found in second array.
Adidas found in second array.
