Getting value from array

[dreampho]

Hi.

 

I have the following array:

array(18) { ["category"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(1) "1" } }

The main array is indexed with $data, so I thought $data['category'][0]; would do the trick to get the value, but it returns NULL.

 

How is the correct way to access to this value?

 

PS. I am able to access other values through $data when there are not multidimensional arrays.

The path to the index is correct - $data['category'][0].

Perhaps the value is getting reset somewhere. Or maybe there is something else going on. If you need further assistance, we'll need to see some code.

I have starred at this for ages now and just cannot for the life of me see the issue.

 

Here is my full function: (you'll see $data is passed to the function)

    public function entry_submission_end($entry_id, $meta, $data)
    {        
    
        if ($data['channel_id'] == '4') {
                        
            $member_id = $meta['author_id'];
            
            // Find member group for member
            $this->EE->db->select('group_id');
            $this->EE->db->where('member_id', $member_id);
            $query = $this->EE->db->get('exp_members');    
            $member_group = $query->row();
            $member_group = $member_group->group_id;
            $category_id = $data['category'][0];
            
            $type = $data['type'];
            $portfolio_number = 0;
            
            if ($type == '2.0') {
                $type = '2';
            } else {
                $type_split = explode(".", $type);
                $portfolio_number = $type_split[1];
                $type = '1';
            }
    
            $insert = array(
               'entry_id' => $entry_id,
               'member_id' => $member_id,
               'member_group' => $member_group,
               'category_id' => $category_id,
               'type_id' => $type,
               'portfolio_number' => $portfolio_number
            );
            
            $this->EE->db->insert('exp_submissions', $insert);
            
        }
                
    }

If I print out the $data variable, it shows this:

You'll see towards the end, it shows :

[category] => Array ( [0] => 7 )

This is what I am trying to access.

 

Thank you.

 

P.S The code is for CMS so thats why some of the code includes 'EE->db' etc.

 

[Ch0cu3r]

looking at the array structure for $data, The category is within a sub array called revision_post. You'll need to use $data['revision_post']['category'][0]

[dreampho]

Oh thank you! I can't believe I missed that!

 

Its strange though that others like the item before can be accessed with

$data['type'];

Any ideas why? Just to fully understand.

[Ch0cu3r]

I cant tell you that as I don't how the $data array is being populated.

Okay.

 

Thank you for your help.
