[SOLVED] Help Making an Array

[JSHINER]

Array
(
    [bread] => 19
    [butter] => 19
    [coke] => 4
    [orange] => 7
)

 

How can I get this into an array that looks like this?

 

$terms[] = array('term' => $term, 'counter' => $counter);

 

So 'term' would be "bread" and 'counter' would be "19" and so on.

$origArr = array("bread"=>19, "butter"=>19, "coke"=>4, "orange"=> 7);
$newArr = array();
foreach($origArr as $key=>$val) {
  $item = array();
  $item["term"] = $key;
  $item["counter"] = $val;
  $newArr[] = $item;
}

 

not tested.

Works perfect. Thanks!

one more thing... can you sort the array by "counter" ?

array

 

The manual with different array functions. sort should give you what you want.

[JSHINER]

Tried going through that page - none of the sorts seem to be working.

 

foreach($interestCount as $key=>$val) {
  $item = array();
  $item["term"] = $key;
  $item["counter"] = $val;
  if ($val> $maximum) $maximum = $val;
  $terms[] = $item;
}

 

How can I sort that so it sorts by "counter" highest to lowest.

sort your original first on counter, then do this foreach.

<?php
function sortCounter($a, $b, $key="counter") {
    return ($a[$key] < $b[$key]);
}

$items[0]["counter"] = 18;
$items[1]["counter"] = 19;
$items[2]["counter"] = 1;

usort($items, "sortCounter");

print_r($items);

die();
?>

try

<?php
$origArr = array("bread"=>19, "butter"=>19, "coke"=>4, "orange"=> 7);
$newArr = array();
foreach($origArr as $key=>$val) {
  $item = array();
  $item["counter"] = $val;
  $item["term"] = $key;
  $newArr[] = $item;
}
rsort($newArr);
print_r($newArr);
?>
