Prepend a $key => $value pair

[NiTx]

Hey guys,

 

I'm trying to run a while loop for an array that includes an ID value in each row. I'm trying to temporarily disable that value while I perform a foreach loop, then prepend the value back into the array after the foreach loop is finished.

function array_unshift_assoc(&$arr, $key, $val) { 
		$arr = array_reverse($arr, true); 
		$arr[$key] = $val; 
		$arr = array_reverse($arr, true);
	}

So far I've come up with this function (which works), but I feel like there may be an easier way? Rest of my code is below. Thoughts? 

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_specs)) {

		//Set the phones id to a temporary variable.
		$tempid = $row['id'];

		//Unset the id so that we can perform the foreach loop without 
		//it interfering with the function.
		unset($row['id']);

		foreach($row as $spec => $value) {
			get_spec_rating($spec, $value);
			echo $rating . "<br/><br/>";
		}

		//Unshift the id value back into the array 
		array_unshift_assoc($row, "id", $tempid);
		
	}

Thanks!

Or just not output anything if $spec=="id".

Thanks requinix,

 

I thought of this, but if my function passes the key ID andits value, I get an error. I could try to alter my function to suit, but it would be a pain in the ass to say the least.

 

Still, thanks for the tip

You don't need to edit the function. as requinix said:

while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_specs)) {
  foreach($row as $spec => $value) {
    if($spec == 'id') continue;
    get_spec_rating($spec, $value);
    echo $rating . "<br/><br/>";
  }
}

Never used 'continue' before so thanks! Added to my repertoire

 

Again, thank you both!

Here's an easier way to temporarily remove the id

$arr = array (
        array(
        'id' => 1,
        'k2' => 'a',
        'k3' => 'b'
        ),
        array(
        'id' => 2,
        'k2' => 'c',
        'k3' => 'd'
        ),
        array(
        'id' => 3,
        'k2' => 'e',
        'k3' => 'f'
        )
        );
        
foreach ($arr as $row) {
    foreach (array_slice($row,1) as $k=>$v) {
        echo "$k | $v<br>";
    }
    print_r($row);  // row is unchanged
    echo "<br>";

}
