I need to re-arrange a php multidimensional array so that to 'match' corresponding values from different arrays;
this is my reproducible example
<?php
// my original array
$myar= array(
array('A'=>'xxx','B'=>1),
array('A'=>'yyy','B'=>2),
array('A'=>'xxx','B'=>3),
array('A'=>'yyy','B'=>4)
);
print_r($myar);
// my desired result, new array
$myar_new= array(
array('xxx'=>1,'yyy'=>2),
array('xxx'=>3,'yyy'=>4)
);
print_r($myar_new);
?>
any help for that?
thanks
If I got your logic right then this function is what you need.
(Edited)
function strange_reformat($srcArray) {
$newArray = [];
$c = count($srcArray);
$i = 0;
$groupStart = null;
$collect = [];
while($i < $c) {
$row = current($srcArray[$i]);
if ($row == $groupStart) {
$newArray[] = $collect;
$collect = [];
}
$tmp = array_values($srcArray[$i]);
$collect[] = [$tmp[0] => $tmp[1]];
if ($groupStart === null) $groupStart = $row;
$i++;
}
$newArray[] = $collect;
return $newArray;
}
print_r(strange_reformat($myar));
yes, that's it...
but now I need to generalise it, please consider this case
$myar= array(
array('A'=>'xxx','B'=>1),
array('A'=>'yyy','B'=>2),
array('A'=>'zzz','B'=>5),
array('A'=>'xxx','B'=>3),
array('A'=>'yyy','B'=>4),
array('A'=>'zzz','B'=>6)
);
function strange_reformat($srcArray) {
$newArray = [];
$c = count($srcArray);
for ($i=0; $i<$c; $i+=3) {
$first = array_values($srcArray[$i]);
$second = array_values($srcArray[$i+1]);
$third = array_values($srcArray[$i+2]);
$newArray[] = [$first[0]=>$first[1], $second[0]=>$second[1], $third[0]=>$third[1]];
}
return $newArray;
}
print_r(strange_reformat($myar));
