PHP Arrays

[AdamFerguson]

Hi,

 

Can someone please help. I have an array such as:

 

 

$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['shiptype'] = $value;

 

 

But when I try to print the value the array is empty:

 

 

echo $this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['shiptype'];

 

 

But, if I don't use variable names such as $key1 and $key2 and instead use the values of $key1 and $key2, it works. Such as: (these two lines DO set the value in the array and will print it to the screen)

 

 

$this->cpc[202-3454-234234][9685766]['shiptype'] = $value;

echo $this->cpc[202-3454-234234][9685766]['shiptype'];

 

 

The $key1 and $key2 DEFINITELY hold the correct values so what is going on here please? Does anyone know?

 

 

Best Regards, Adam

Hi,

 

The code:

		$key1 = $shipping['orderid'][0];
		$key2 = $dbitem['ProductCode'];
		
		// store the shipping details for the order
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['shiptype'] 			= $shipping['shiptype'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['marketplace'] 		= $shipping['marketplace'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_name'] 			= $shipping['ship_name'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_address1'] 		= $shipping['ship_address1'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_address2'] 		= $shipping['ship_address2'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_city'] 			= $shipping['ship_city'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_state'] 			= $shipping['ship_state'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_postcode'] 		= $shipping['ship_postcode'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_countrycode'] 	= $shipping['ship_countrycode'][0];
		$this->cpc[$key1][$key2]['ship_phone'] 			= $shipping['ship_phone'][0];

if you print any of these individually (except any that being with $this->cpc) the value is printed to the screen so I know that everything has a value. Why then, would $this->cpc array not hold any of these values?

 

$key1, $key2, all the $shipping variables all have values when printed. But none are assigned to the $this->cpc array.

Hi,

 

I figured it out, the array was treating $key1 and $key2 as integers and therefore $key1 (which was 202-7465746-2875675) was not being treated as a string as I had hoped. Just wrapped them like this in double quotes:

 

$this->cpc["{$key1}"]["{$key2}"]['ship_phone']
