V. Funkce pro práci s poli

Úvod

Tyto funkce vám umožňují manipulovat a interagovat různými způsoby s poli. Pole jsou nezbytná pro ukládání a práci se sadami proměnných.

Podporována jsou jednoduchá a vícerozměrná pole; vytvářet se dají uživatelsky i jako výstup funkce. Existují databázové funkce na plnění polí výsledky databázových dotazů, a několik dalších funkcí vrací pole.

Viz také část manuálu pole pro detailní popis toho, jak jsou pole v PHP implementovány a jak se používají.

Požadavky

Tyto funkce jsou k dispozici jako součást standardního modulu, který je vždy dostupný.

Instalace

K používání těchto funkcí není třeba žádná instalace, jsou součástí jádra PHP.

Konfigurace běhu

Toto rozšíření nemá definováno žádné konfigurační direktivy.

Typy prostředků

Toto rozšíření nemá definován žádný typ prostředku (resource).

Předdefinované konstanty

Konstanty z tohoto seznamu jsou vždy dostupné jako součást jádra PHP.

CASE_LOWER (integer)
CASE_LOWER is used with array_change_key_case() and is used to convert array keys to lower case. This is also the default case for array_change_key_case().
CASE_UPPER (integer)
CASE_UPPER is used with array_change_key_case() and is used to convert array keys to upper case.

Sorting order flags:

SORT_ASC (integer)
SORT_ASC is used with array_multisort() to sort in ascending order.
SORT_DESC (integer)
SORT_DESC is used with array_multisort() to sort in descending order.

Sorting type flags: used by various sort functions

SORT_REGULAR (integer)
SORT_REGULAR is used to compare items normally.
SORT_NUMERIC (integer)
SORT_NUMERIC is used to compare items numerically.
SORT_STRING (integer)
SORT_STRING is used to compare items as strings.
SORT_LOCALE_STRING (integer)
SORT_LOCALE_STRING is used to compare items as strings, based on the current locale. Added in PHP 4.4.0 and 5.0.2.

COUNT_NORMAL (integer)
COUNT_RECURSIVE (integer)
EXTR_OVERWRITE (integer)
EXTR_SKIP (integer)
EXTR_PREFIX_SAME (integer)
EXTR_PREFIX_ALL (integer)
EXTR_PREFIX_INVALID (integer)
EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS (integer)
EXTR_IF_EXISTS (integer)
EXTR_REFS (integer)

This is the shorter way to flatten a array:
<?php
 
function array_flatten($a) {
    foreach(
$a as $k=>$v) $a[$k]=(array)$v;
    return
call_user_func_array(array_merge,$a);
  }
?>

I see a lot of people here writing complex functions to convert an array to a string, for use with Javascript or other things (possibly even databases, which would be bad).
For Javascript, the most efficient way would be JSON (http://www.php.net/json_encode). For normal use, serialize() (http://www.php.net/serialize) is your friend.

@margol:

<?php
$tuple_array
= array(array('key1' => 'val1'), array('key2' => 'val2'));
list(
$key, $val) = each(array_pop($tuple_array));
?>

But, why not use a two element array instead of a single-element associative array?

<?php
$tuple_array
= array(array('key1', 'val1'), array('key2','val2'));
list(
$key,$val) = array_pop($tuple_array);
?>

More intuitive tuple support would be nice  :)

But for those scratching their heads, like I did, to extract a tuple from an array of tuples, do something like:

    $tuple = array_pop($tuple_array);
    $key = key($tuple);
    $val = $tuple[$key];

Here is how you refresh the expiration time for multiple cookies:

// get the cookie names
$keys=array_keys($_COOKIE);

// loop through all the cookies and update the exp. time
for ($i=0; $i<count($_COOKIE);$i++)
   setcookie( $keys[$i], $_COOKIE[$keys[$i]], time()+3600);

you can use this in authentication validate file to keep the session up.

This function takes an array, a key and a value. If the key is not an array, it acts just like $array[$key] =& $value; If the key is an array, it recurses in the array, creating nested arrays as necessary.

Example:

$array = array('A' => array('B' => 'phi'));
$key = array('A', 'Z');
$value = 'gamma';

arraySet($array, $key, $value);

$array should now be:

array('A' => array('B' => 'phi', 'C' => 'gamma'));

This is useful for constructing nested arrays from sets of filesystem paths (e.g. 'A/B/C') or structured variable names (e.g. 'A.B.C' or 'A[B][C]')

Example:

arraySet($array, preg_split('/\//', $path, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY), $value);

function arraySet(array &$array, $key, &$value)
{
    if (is_array($key)) {
        $keyComponent = array_shift($key);

        if (empty($key)) {
            $array[$keyComponent] =& $value;
            return;
        }

        if (!is_array($array[$keyComponent])) {
            $array[$keyComponent] = array();
        }

        PHP_CodeSniffer_arraySet($array[$keyComponent], $key, $value);
        return;
    }

    $array[$key] =& $value;
}

I haven't completely figured out when or why an array gets referenced or copied, but it gave me quite the headache..

So i wrote a function which recursively copies an array while preserving keys and also clones objects if encountered

<?php
   
/**
     * make a recursive copy of an array
     *
     * @param array $aSource
     * @return array    copy of source array
     */
   
function array_copy ($aSource) {
       
// check if input is really an array
       
if (!is_array($aSource)) {
            throw new
Exception("Input is not an Array");
        }
       
       
// initialize return array
       
$aRetAr = array();
       
       
// get array keys
       
$aKeys = array_keys($aSource);
       
// get array values
       
$aVals = array_values($aSource);
       
       
// loop through array and assign keys+values to new return array
       
for ($x=0;$x<count($aKeys);$x++) {
           
// clone if object
           
if (is_object($aVals[$x])) {
               
$aRetAr[$aKeys[$x]]=clone $aVals[$x];
           
// recursively add array
           
} elseif (is_array($aVals[$x])) {
               
$aRetAr[$aKeys[$x]]=array_copy ($aVals[$x]);
           
// assign just a plain scalar value
           
} else {
               
$aRetAr[$aKeys[$x]]=$aVals[$x];
            }
        }
       
        return
$aRetAr;
    }
?>

I hope i can save someone else's aspirine with this ;)

Here's a function I wrote to combine the values in an array in all different ways, and which returns a two-dimensional array as a byref result.

E.g.

if called:
comb(array(1, 2, 3), $r);

then $r would be:

1 2 3
1 3 2
2 1 3
2 3 1
3 1 2
3 2 1

<?php

   
function comb($arr, &$rarr, $vtemp = array()){   
        foreach(
$arr as $key => $value){
           
$vtemp2 = $vtemp;
           
$vtemp2[] = $value;

           
$atemp = $arr;           
            unset(
$atemp[$key]);
           
            if(
count($atemp) > 0){
               
comb($atemp, $rarr, $vtemp2);
            } else {
               
$t = array();
           
                foreach(
$vtemp2 as $val){
                   
$t[] = $val;
                }
               
               
$rarr[] = $t;
            }
        }
    }

Here are two more functions handling string2array and access array by string. It's useful if you want to access an array in xpath-style, such as parse_ini_file return values with $process_sections = TRUE.

<?php
function createArrayByString($string, $separator, $value = NULL)
{
    if (
strlen($string) > 0) {
       
$splitter = explode($separator, $string);
       
$index = array_shift($splitter); // get first element
       
$function = __FUNCTION__;
        return array(
$index => $function(implode($separator, $splitter), $separator, $value));
    }
    return
$value;
}

function
accessArrayByString($array, $string, $separator, $default = NULL)
{
    if (!
is_array($array)) {
        return empty(
$string) ? $array : $default;
    }
    @list (
$key, $rest) = explode($separator, $string, 2); // @ needed for last access
   
   
$function = __FUNCTION__;
    return
array_key_exists($key, $array)
         ?
$function($array[$key], $rest, $separator, $default)
         :
$default;
}

$string = "one.two.three.four";
$separator = ".";

$array = createArrayByString($string, $separator, "standard value");
$return = accessArrayByString($array, $string, $separator, "element not found");

var_dump($array); // should return array("one" => array("two" => array("three" => array("four" => "standard value"))))
var_dump($return); // should return "standard value";
?>

change the function name to what ever you want, the recursive call uses __FUNCTION__ for re-call.

A usefull function that returns a flat array.
I use it in a template system. Let the user pass a multidimensional array. Convert it using my function. Then use
<?php
$array
= flatten($array,'','{$','}','->');
echo
str_replace(array_keys($array),array_values($array),$template)
/**
* Flattens out an multidimension array
* Using the last parameters you can define the new key based on the old path.
* @param array $array A multidimension array
* @param string $prefix Internal perfix parameter - leave empty.
* @param string $start_string What string should start the final array key?
* @param string $end_string What string should end the final array key?
* @param string $seperator The string that should seperate the piecies in final array key path
* @return array Returns the flat array
*/
function flatten($array, $start_string= '{$',$end_string= '}',$seperator='->',$prefix="") {
 
$return = array();
  foreach(
$array as $key=>$value) {
    if (
is_array($value)) {
     
$return = array_merge($return, Parser_method_replace::flatten($value, $prefix.$key.$seperator,$start_string,$end_string,$seperator));
    } else
     
$return [$start_string.$prefix.$key.$end_string] = $value;
  }
  return
$return;
}
}
?>
Example:
$template = 'My string with replacement {$test->subkey}';
{$test->subkey} will get replaced with $array['test']['subkey']

if some one will need to convert array to php code use this function:

DEFINE('OFFSET_DELIMETER', "\t");

function array2php($array, $offset = OFFSET_DELIMETER)  {
    $text = '';
    foreach($array as $k => $v) {
        if (is_array($v)) {
            $text .= "{$offset}'{$k}' => array(\n".array2php($v, $offset.OFFSET_DELIMETER)."$offset)";
        } else {
            $text .= "{$offset}'{$k}' => ".(is_string($v)? "'$v'": $v);
        }
        $text .= ",\n";
    }
    if ($len = strlen($text)) $text[$len - 2] = " ";
    return $text;
}

Regarding cyberchrist at futura dot net's function. It makes an unnecessary array_merge(); the elements of $b that are merged with those of $a are immediately removed again by the array_diff(). The "limiting to known values" is entirely unnecessary, in other words: arrays already only contain "known values".

Also, the description and function only address the issue of whether $a is a subset of $b, not whether it is a proper subset. For $a to be a proper subset of $b, it must also be the case that $b is not a subset of $a.

Taking those points into account (and a personal aesthetic dislike of "if(test) return true; else return false;" gives:

<?php
function is_subset($a, $b)
{
    return
count(array_diff($a,$b))==0;
}

function
is_proper_subset($a, $b)
{
    return
is_subset($a, $b) && !is_subset($b, $a);
}
?>

Lately, dealing with databases, I've been finding myself needing to know if one array, $a, is a proper subset of $b.

Mathematically, this is asking (in set theory) [excuse the use of u and n instead of proper Unicode):
 
( A u B ) n ( ~ B )

What this does is it first limits to known values, then looks for anything outside of B but in the union of A and B (which would be those things in A which are not also in B).

If any value exists in this set, then A is NOT a proper subset of B, because a value exists in A but not in B.  For A to be a proper subset, all values in A must be in B.

I'm sure this could easily be done any number of ways but this seems to work for me.  It's not got a lot of error detection such as sterilizing inputs or checking input types.

// bool array_subset( array, array )
// Returns true if $a is a proper subset of $b, returns false otherwise.

function array_subset( $a, $b )
{
    if( count( array_diff( array_merge($a,$b), $b)) == 0 )
        return true;
    else
        return false;
}

to 2g4wx3:
i think better way for this is using JSON, if you have such module in your PHP. See json.org.

to convert JS array to JSON string: arr.toJSONString();
to convert JSON string to PHP array: json_decode($jsonString);

You can also stringify objects, numbers, etc.

I needed a function to convert a php array into a javascript array.
No problem i found it on "the net".

But the function i found wasn't good enough, instead of return a string with javascript-array it echoed directly everything.
I wanted to write the string to a file, when calling the function out of my function libary.

Secondly, there where minor "bugs" in the script, when you're original array contained characters like line breaks(\r\n,..), or quotes('), it would hack up the javascript array

Sow, i changed the function and fixed the bug.

You can use this for printing $_GET array, for example

Bugs happen, but how can people post functions that WON'T EVEN COMPILE!  I truly detest finding a cool code snippet or function and then having to debug them. Sorry for the rant, but I have experienced this scenario a number of times.  TEST YOUR CODE, THEN POST!

Here is a revised and corrected previously posted function ArrayDepth, which had 3 bugs and yes, would not compile.

function ArrayDepth($Array,$DepthCount=-1) {
// Find maximum depth of an array
// Usage: int ArrayDepth( array $array )
// returns integer with max depth
// if Array is a string or an empty array it will return 0
  $DepthArray=array(0);
  $DepthCount++;
  $Depth = 0;
  if (is_array($Array))
    foreach ($Array as $Key => $Value) {
      $DepthArray[]=ArrayDepth($Value,$DepthCount);
    }
  else
    return $DepthCount;
  return max($DepthCount,max($DepthArray));
}
