Accessing Arrays inside Arrays In PHP

Question

Hello I want to access inactive tags inside this array any idea?

stdClass::__set_state(
array
  \'languages\' => 
    array
      76 => 
        array
          


        

Answer 1

If $a is the array that's passed, $a[76][0]['id'] should give '76' and $a[76][1]['id'] should give '81', but I can't test as I don't have PHP installed on this machine.

Answer 2

Regarding your code: It's slightly hard to read... If you want to try to view it all in a php array format, just print_r it. This might help:

<?php
$a =
array(  

  'languages' =>    

  array (   

  76 =>      

 array (       'id' => '76',       'tag' => 'Deutsch',     ),   ),    'targets' =>    
 array (     81 =>      
 array (       'id' => '81',       'tag' => 'Deutschland',     ),   ),    'tags' =>    
 array (     7866 =>      
 array (       'id' => '7866',       'tag' => 'automobile',     ),     17800 =>      
 array (       'id' => '17800',       'tag' => 'seat leon',     ),     17801 =>      
 array (       'id' => '17801',       'tag' => 'seat leon cupra',     ),   ),   
'inactiveTags' =>    
 array (     195 =>      
 array (       'id' => '195',       'tag' => 'auto',     ),     17804 =>      
 array (       'id' => '17804',       'tag' => 'coupès',     ),     17805 =>      
 array (       'id' => '17805',       'tag' => 'fahrdynamik',     ),     901 =>      
 array (       'id' => '901',       'tag' => 'fahrzeuge',     ),     17802 =>      
 array (       'id' => '17802',       'tag' => 'günstige neuwagen',     ),     1991 =>      
 array (       'id' => '1991',       'tag' => 'motorsport',     ),     2154 =>      
 array (       'id' => '2154',       'tag' => 'neuwagen',     ),     10660 =>      
 array (       'id' => '10660',       'tag' => 'seat',     ),     17803 =>      
 array (       'id' => '17803',       'tag' => 'sportliche ausstrahlung',     ),     74 =>      
 array (       'id' => '74',       'tag' => 'web 2.0',     ),   ),    'categories' =>    
 array (     16082 =>      
 array (       'id' => '16082',       'tag' => 'Auto & Motorrad',     ),     51 =>      
 array (       'id' => '51',       'tag' => 'Blogosphäre',     ),     66 =>      
 array (       'id' => '66',       'tag' => 'Neues & Trends',     ),     68 =>      
 array (       'id' => '68',       'tag' => 'Privat',     ),   ), );

 printarr($a);
 printarr($a['languages'][76]['tag']);
 parintarr($a['targets'][81]['id']); 
 function printarr($in){
 echo "\n";
 print_r($in);
 echo "\n";
 }
 //run in php command line php path/to/file.php to test, switching otu the print_r.

Study up on multidimensional arrays. This question might help.

Answer 4

You can access the inactive tags array with (assuming $myArray contains the array)

$myArray['inactiveTags'];

Your question doesn't seem to go beyond accessing the contents of the inactiveTags key so I can only speculate with what your final goal is.

The first key:value pair in the inactiveTags array is

array ('195' => array(
                 'id' => 195, 
                 'tag' => 'auto')
      )

To access the tag value, you would use

$myArray['inactiveTags'][195]['tag']; // auto

If you want to loop through each inactiveTags element, I would suggest:

foreach($myArray['inactiveTags'] as $value) {
  print $value['id'];
  print $value['tag'];
}

This will print all the id and tag values for each inactiveTag
