I have the following array to show menu's based on the order the user specified.
The array is as follows:
$menuArray = [
'Main Street' => [
['/index.php', 'Home'],
['/city.php', $cityData[$user->city][0]],
['/travel.php', 'Travel'],
['/bank.php', 'Bank'],
['/inventory.php', 'Inventory'],
['/dailies.php', 'Dailies'],
],
'Activities' => [
(!$my->hospital) ? ['/hospital.php', 'Hospital'] : [],
(!$my->hospital && !$my->prison) ? ['/crime.php', 'Crime'] : [],
['/missions.php', 'Missions'],
['/achievements.php', 'Achievements'],
],
'Services' => [
['/hospital.php', 'Hospital'],
['/prison.php', 'Prison'],
['/search.php', 'Search'],
],
'Account' => [
['/edit_account.php', 'Edit Account'],
['/notepad.php', 'Notepad'],
['/logout.php', 'Logout'],
]
];
I have a column menu_order
stored in the database, which has a default value of 0,1,2,3,4
, but this can change per user as they will be able to change their menu to their likes.
What I'd like to achieve:
0 => Main Street
1 => Activities
2 => Services
3 => Account
4 => Communication
To get the menu order, I do
$menuOrder = explode(',', $user->menu_order);
But I'm not sure how to handle the foreach for displaying the menu.
You could try something like this to produce the menu:
function display_menu($menus, $m) {
if (!isset($menus[$m])) return;
echo "<ul>";
foreach ($menus[$m] as $item) {
if (!count($item)) continue;
echo "<li><a href=\"{$item[0]}\">{$item[1]}</a>
";
}
echo "</ul>";
}
$menuMap = array(0 => 'Main Street',
1 => 'Activities',
2 => 'Services',
3 => 'Account',
4 => 'Communication');
$menuOrder = explode(',', $user->menu_order);
foreach ($menuOrder as $menuIndex) {
$thisMenu = $menuMap[$menuIndex];
display_menu($menuArray, $thisMenu);
}
Here's one way to do it -- use replacement rather than a sorting algorithm.
Code: (Demo)
$menuArray = [
'Main Street' => [],
'Activities' => [],
'Services' => [],
'Account' => []
];
$lookup = [
0 => 'Main Street',
1 => 'Activities',
2 => 'Services',
3 => 'Account',
4 => 'Communication'
];
$customsort = '4,2,1,3,0';
$keys = array_flip(explode(',', $customsort)); convert string to keyed array
//var_export($keys);
$ordered_keys = array_flip(array_replace($keys, $lookup)); // apply $lookup values to keys, then invert key-value relationship
//var_export($ordered_keys);
$filtered_keys = array_intersect_key($ordered_keys, $menuArray); // remove items not on the current menu ('Communication" in this case)
//var_export($filtered_keys);
$final = array_replace($filtered_keys, $menuArray); // apply menu data to ordered&filtered keys
var_export($final);
Output:
array (
'Services' =>
array (
),
'Activities' =>
array (
),
'Account' =>
array (
),
'Main Street' =>
array (
),
)
And here's another way using uksort()
and a spaceship operator:
$ordered_keys = array_flip(array_values(array_replace(array_flip(explode(',', $customsort)), $lookup)));
uksort($menuArray, function($a, $b) use ($ordered_keys) {
return $ordered_keys[$a] <=> $ordered_keys[$b];
});
var_export($menuArray);
As a consequence of how your are storing your custom sort order, most of the code involved is merely to set up the "map"/"lookup" data.
