Re: array insights

use: $new_array = array_chunk($input_array, 3)); Thanks, that is just the array function I was looking for.

this will split your original array into a number of arrays with three elements in each and trash the original keys. If you want to preserve the keys pass a third paramater (true). Hope this helps. On 03/05/06, Jason Gerfen <jason.gerfen@scl.utah.edu> wrote:

I am looking for some information on how to do this the correct way, here is the data I am working with: Array (

    [hostname-0] => hostname
    [mac-0] => 00:0a:b3:aa:00:5d
    [ip-0] => 192.168.0.1
    [subnet] => MMC-Subnet
    [group] => MMC-PXE
    [hostname-1] => tester01
    [mac-1] => 00:09:02:bb:cc:zz
    [ip-1] => 192.168.0.2
    [hostname-2] => new-test
    [mac-2] => 00:09:02:bb:cc:99
    [ip-2] => 192.168.0.3
    [cmd] => edit
    [import] => Re-submit

) Here is how I need the above data to look when finished processing. Array (

    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => hostname
            [1] => 00:0a:b3:aa:00:5d
            [2] => 192.168.0.1
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => tester01
            [1] => 00:09:02:bb:cc:zz
            [2] => 192.168.0.2
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => new-test
            [1] => 00:09:02:bb:cc:99
            [2] => 192.168.0.3
        )

) here is the code I am using. <?PHP function ReFilter( $new ) {

     $x = 0;
        foreach( $new as $key => $value ) {
            if( eregi( 'hostname', $key ) ) {
          echo "HOSTNAME: " . $key . " => " . $value . "<br>";
             $arr[$x] = $value;
         }
            if( eregi( 'mac', $key ) ) {
             echo "MAC: " . $key . " => " . $value . "<br>";
                $arr[$x] = $value;
            }
            if( eregi( 'ip', $key ) ) {
             echo "IP: " . $key . " => " . $value . "<br>";
             $arr[$x] = $value;
            }
            if( eregi( 'subnet', $key ) ) {
             echo "SUBNET: " . $key . " => " . $value . "<br>";
             $arr[$x] = $value;
            }
            if( eregi( 'group', $key ) ) {
             echo "GROUP: " . $key . " => " . $value . "<br>";
             $arr[$x] = $value;
            }
            $x++;
        }
        $data = $arr;
    return $data;

} ?> I realize I am missing a loop, but am unsure of the best practice on it. Thanks in advance -- Jason Gerfen "You will never be ready for me." ~ Me -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
