I have data selected from database in object format. I want to loop it but I also include text randomly to the display. How to add that text to a random place in object? or how to print it randomly once inside the loop?
//Object data
$obj = (object) [
'0' => ['name' => 'Banana'], '1' => ['name' => 'Potato'], '2' => ['name' => 'Mango']];
//addition text will be displayed
$text = 'My random text';
foreach($obj as $d) {
echo $d->name;}
Result can be
Banana
Potato
My random text
Mango
Or
My random text
Banana
Potato
Mango
Or
Banana
My random text
Potato
Mango
...
Just find the a random position index from your object data like this.
$randPos = rand(0, count($obj)-1);
And put your random text right after this random index of object data while accessing it through look.
//addition text will be displayed
$text = 'My random text';
foreach($obj as $k => $d) {
echo $d->name;
if($k == $randPos) echo $text;
}
Hope this will help to solve your query !!
Do you have a way of determining how many arrays are stored in your Object?
If so, generate a random number between 0 and $numArraysInObject - 1 and use a good ol' for ($i = 0; $i < $numArraysInObject; $i++). When $i matches $numArraysInObject, print your random text.
$printTime = rand(0, $numArraysInObject);
for ($i = 0; $i < $numArraysInObject; $i++) {
if ($i == $printTime)
echo "My random text";
echo $d -> name;
}
I would use a random number. See http://php.net/manual/en/function.rand.php
$rand = rand(0, count($yourArray));
Then within your array loop, test the key value of the given item compared to your random number if it matches, echo your text.
May be you are looking for this ..
foreach($obj as $d) {
$d->name = $d->name . " " . $text; // This concates the text.
echo $d->name;
}
