How to avoid PHP Notice “Undefined offset: 0” without checking each field of array

Question

i have the following array:

    $keyvisual_data = array(
        \'video_file\'            => $row->field_field_video[0][\'rendered\'][\'#item\'][\'uri\'],         


        

Answer 1

You could add a shorthand check if each value is null

$default_value = "Default value";

$keyvisual_data = array(
        'video_file' => ($row->field_field_video[0]['rendered']['#item']['uri'] == null) ? $default_value : $row->field_field_video[0]['rendered']['#item']['uri']

// etc.. etc...
);

A less messy version of this, to explain the code more clearly:

 ($video_file == null) ? $default_value : $video_file
);

// Will output "I am a Default value"
echo $new_array['video_file'];
?>
