Note Submitter: (J. Dyer) jkdyer_at_vlsmaps_com ---- A final note, I have not seen this anywhere else, and I am unsure exactly where to post this snippet. This is another example from the same program I used in the previous entries. Essentially, I wanted to make a dynamically generated, multi-dimensional, associative array. The dynamic generation consists of an association within the array of a certain key attribute within those variably-named objects from my previous example. Yes, there are other, easier ways to associate objects than this manner; however, for this particular project, the snippet is a solution for a requested "feature" on a website. That feature consists of displaying the values from only certain, user-specified objects by their "key" value. [note: the name of the variables/arrays change from example to example to avoid ambiguity within the script. The $obj_array is the same as the previous $array. Also, there are two different methods to place the $obj object into the array, and this was a trial to see which one worked. They both do.] <?php // ... foreach ($this->obj_array as $key=>$obj){ // if the key already exists.. if ( array_key_exists($obj->GetKeyCode(), $this->new_array) ){ $key = $obj->GetKeyCode(); array_push($this->new_array[$key], $obj); } // end if // else if the key doesn't exist, create it. else{ $key = $obj->GetKeyCode(); $this->new_array[$key] = array(); $this->new_array[$key][] = $obj; } // end else } // end foreach //... ?>
