I am trying to create an associative array using php. My desired output is
Array
(
[key] => fl_0_sq
),
Array
(
[key] => fl_1_sq
)
The code is
$max_val = 2;
for($i=0; $i<$max_val; $i++)
{
$flr_arr .= "array('key' => 'fl_".$i."_sq'),";
}
print_r($flr_arr);
Output is
array('key' => 'fl_0_sq'),array('key' => 'fl_1_sq'),
Now the issue is that it has become a string instead of an array. Is it at all possible to create a array structure like the desired output. Any help is highly appreciated.
You could do this:
<?php
$flr_arr = [];
$max_val = 2;
for ($i = 0; $i < $max_val; $i++) {
$flr_arr[][key] = 'fl_' . $i . '_sq';
}
$output = "<pre>";
foreach ($flr_arr as $i => $flr_arr_item) {
$output .= print_r($flr_arr_item, true);
if($i < count($flr_arr)-1){
$output = substr($output, 0, -1) . ",
";
}
}
$output .= "</pre>";
echo $output;
The output:
Array ( [key] => fl_0_sq ), Array ( [key] => fl_1_sq )
I'm not exactly sure what you want to do, but your output could be done by this:
$max_val = 2;
for($i=0; $i<$max_val; $i++)
{
$flr_arr = [];
$flr_arr['key'] = 'fl_".$i."_sq';
print_r($flr_arr);
}
You're declaring a string and concatenating it. You want to add elements to an array. You also can't create multiple arrays with the same name. What you can do, though is a 2D array:
$flr_arr[] = array("key"=>"fl_$i_sq");
Note the lack of quotes around array(). The "[]" syntax adds a new element to the end of the array. The output would be -
array(array('key' => 'fl_0_sq'),array('key' => 'fl_1_sq'))
