Push items to associative array individually in php

问题

I have a snippet like,

Assume different length of array like,

length of $name1Array is 8 and length of $name2Array is 5

    for($i = 0; $i < count ( $name1Array ); $i ++)
    {
        $finalArray ["something"] [] = array (
                "name1" => $name1Array [$i],
                "name2" => $name2Array [$i] 
        );

    }

The above snippet is working all fine, but when the lengths of $name1Array and $name2Array are different? I tried 2 for loops for each one like,

for($i = 0; $i < count ( $name1Array ); $i ++)
    {
        $finalArray ["something"] [] = array (
                "name1" => $name1Array [$i]

        );

    }

for($i = 0; $i < count ( $name2Array ); $i ++)
    {
        $finalArray ["something"] [] = array (
                "name2" => $name2Array [$i]

        );

    }

This didnt work, is there any work around for it?

One Of sollition is to Find Max Count value from both array and loop till max array val.

<?php

$array1 = array("a","b","c","d");
$array2 = array("1","2","3","4","5");

$count1 = count ( $array1 );$count2 = count ( $array2 );
$looptill = max($count1,$count2);

for($i = 0; $i < $looptill ; $i ++)
    {
        $finalArray ["something"] [] = array (
                "name1" => $array1 [$i],
                "name2" => $array2 [$i] 
        );

    }

echo "<pre>";
print_r($finalArray);
exit;

It's not clear what your expected result should be, so I'm guessing here that you want the longest possible result by filling missing values with null or another empty value.

Try this:

$c1 = count($name1Array);
$c2 = count($name2Array);
$cmax = max($c1, $c2);

for ($i = 0; $i < $cmax; $i++)
{
    $finalArray["something"][] = [
        "name1" => $i < $c1 ? $name1Array[$i] : null,
        "name2" => $i < $c2 ? $name2Array[$i] : null
    ];
}

As an alternative, you may want the shortest result by omitting those that are not present in both arrays:

$c1 = count($name1Array);
$c2 = count($name2Array);
$cmin = min($c1, $c2);

for ($i = 0; $i < $cmin; $i++)
{
    $finalArray["something"][] = [
        "name1" => $name1Array[$i],
        "name2" => $name2Array[$i]
    ];
}

The fact that you didn't specify which of the two (longest/shortest) versions you need is an indication that you didn't think the problem through and probably are doing just homework... anyways, you're just hurting yourself this way.

回答3:

If you wish to push null elements where missing from the original arrays, array_map() is a direct one-liner:

$array1 = array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8);
$array2 = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e');

$finalArray['something'] = array_map(function($v1, $v2){return ['name1' => $v1, 'name2' => $v2];}, $array1, $array2);
var_export($finalArray);

*array_map() does you the favor of serving null values when the input array is expired.

If you don't want to see any null values, a for() loop is probably a better choice:

for ($i = 0, $max = max(sizeof($array1), sizeof($array2)); $i < $max; ++$i) {
    $tmp = [];
    if (isset($array1[$i])) {            // this condition is important to avoid Notices
        $tmp['name1'] = $array1[$i];
    }
    if (isset($array2[$i])) {            // this condition is important to avoid Notices
        $tmp['name2'] = $array2[$i];
    }
    $final['something'][] = $tmp;
}
var_export($final);

Here is a demonstration.
