I'm creating an irc bot and I have an array for Channels ($BotChannels = ['Channel' => [], 'Commands' => [], 'Type' => []];) The bot check on mysql when a new channel is added and when a old channel is removed and when the channel is removed i use a for to catch the channel position but when I use the unset function to remove the channel from array i always get an empty space on array code below.
if(count($BotChannels['Channel']) > 0) {
for($i = 0; $i < count($BotChannels['Channel']); $i++) {
if(!in_array($BotChannels['Channel'][$i], $TempChan)) {
IrcMsg($BotChannels['Channel'][$i], 'Channel removed from database, leaving.');
PartChannel($BotChannels['Channel'][$i]);
unset($BotChannels['Channel'][$i], $BotChannels['Commands'][$i] ,$BotChannels['Type'][$i]);
}
}
unset($TempChan);
}
First and foremost, your array structure of "$BotChannels" does not look like it can support holding SQL results man.
Therefore I would recommend the structure to be like the one below.
$BotChannels = [
'key' => [ # "key" is your variable $i
'Channel' => [],
'Commands' => [],
'Type' => []
],
];
And as for your Algorithm
if(count($BotChannels) > 0) {
foreach (array_keys($BotChannels) as $key) {
if(!in_array($key, $TempChan)) {
IrcMsg($key, 'Channel removed from database, leaving.');
PartChannel($key);
unset($BotChannels[$key]);
}
unset($TempChan);
}
If you insist on not changing your array "$BotChannels", then please make sure the SQL results are being populated exactly, how you want it to.
echo '<pre>'.print_r($BotChannels, 1).'</pre>'; # TIP
