How to access nested array values

Question

I have the following array that I need to use in a laravel email view template

$inputs[\'test\']

Which looks like this when I dd($inputs[

Answer 1

First you have what is key and what is value of arrays
They are multiple ways to echo arrays this is one way

foreach($inputs['test']['order'] as $key =>  $test){
        echo 'Key ->'.$key.'<br/>';    
        echo 'Value ->'. $test. '<br/>';
    }

Answer 2

Try

$inputs['test']['order'][0]

Basically, php reads the nested arrays as arrays in arrays .. so no matter how many arrays nested you can always use [][][][][]

php manual

Example #6 Accessing array elements

<?php
$array = array(
    "foo" => "bar",
    42    => 24,
    "multi" => array(
         "dimensional" => array(
             "array" => "foo"
         )
    )
);

var_dump($array["foo"]);
var_dump($array[42]);
var_dump($array["multi"]["dimensional"]["array"]);
?>

and you can use it in looping as such

foreach($inputs['test']['order'] as $test){
    echo $test;} 

Answer 3

You have to use array not object loop:

foreach($inputs['test']['order'] as $test){           
        echo $test;

}

Answer 4

$myEcho = function($x){
    if(is_array($x)){foreach($x as $one){$myEcho($one);}
    }else{ echo $x; }
  };
array_map($myEcho, $inputs['test']['order']);

Answer 5

You use square braces [] to access array values, arrows -> to access properties on objects

foreach($inputs['test']['order'] as $test){
        echo $test;
}

Answer 6

Simply use the helper method for Arr facade and avoid all these complications.

For instance, if you've something like

$array = ['products' => ['desk' => ['price' => 100]]];

You can do this

return Arr::get($array, 'products.desk.price');

and it will return 100. The best part is if the key price doesn't exist, it doesn't throw and error.

So, if the array had to be like this

$array = ['products' => ['desk' => []];

and you did this

return Arr::get($array, 'products.desk.price');

It would return null and not any error even though the item doesn't exist. You can also set a default value if you want like this

return Arr::get($array, 'products.desk.price', 2);

This would return 2 if the price doesn't exist. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/helpers#method-array-get
