array help

[kproctor]

Hi I I have the following the following results that are returned from an array. I want to be able to just call one part of the array. Example: $array[7][2]. I have tried this but no result is returned. 

 

[7] => Array
(
[name] => Convertible

[types] => Array
(
[0] => Term
                         Posted Rates
                         APR(2)
                        
[1] => Convertible

[2] => 6 Month
3.140%
3.350%

[3] => Closed

[4] => 1 Year
3.140%
3.250%

and I only want the first number for the second part of the array

[kproctor]

okay.. this is getting me closer. echo $royal_list[5] ['types'][8];

 

It returns 5 Year 4.640% 4.660%

 

Now I need to extract "5 Years" and 4.640% for the results and assign them to a variable for use. thinking...

And I get closer maybe.... 

 

This: echo $rate;

 

//echo substr_count($rate, ' ');

 

$rate_details = explode(" ",$rate);

 

echo print_r($rate_details);

 

returns this:

 

 

4 Year 4.390% 4.420% Array ( [0] => 4 [1] => Year [2] => [3] => [4] => [5] => [6] => [7] => [8] => [9] => [10] => [11] => [12] => [13] => [14] => [15] => [16] => [17] => [18] => [19] => [20] => [21] => [22] => [23] => [24] => [25] => [26] => [27] => 4.390% [28] => [29] => [30] => [31] => [32] => [33] => [34] => [35] => [36] => [37] => [38] => [39] => [40] => [41] => [42] => [43] => [44] => [45] => [46] => [47] => [48] => [49] => [50] => [51] => [52] => [53] => 4.420% [54] => [55] => [56] => [57] => [58] => [59] => [60] => [61] => [62] => [63] => [64] => [65] => [66] => [67] => [68] => [69] => [70] => [71] => [72] => [73] => [74] => [75] => [76] => [77] => ) 1

Wow, you are all over the place. You've completely deviated from your original example of $array[7][2] (which should have been $array[7]['types'][2]) to $royal_list[5] ['types'][8]

 

So, I'm not following why the indexes are changing or how you determine which ones to use. But, assuming you know the correct indexes to use to reference the correct field, you need to know the exact types of values and the formats that will exist in that field. Your examples show a single numeric digit, followed by a space, followed by an alpha string, followed by a space, followed by a "percentage", followed by a space and finally another percentage. Are those percentages always a digit[period]three_digits? Although, I don't know if those are always spaces or if they are line breaks based on your first post.

 

I can make some guesses on how to parse the value, but it really helps when I know all the possible values that could exist. Here is my best guess based on the limited information.

 

 

function parseRateInfo($value)
{
    if(!preg_match("#(\d*\s*\w*)\s*([^\s]*)\s*([^\s]*)#i", $value, $matches))
    {
        //No match found
        return false;
    }
    //Parse the matches and return results
    $return['description'] = $matches[1];
    $return['perc_low']    = $matches[2];
    $return['perc_high']   = $matches[3];
    return $return;
}
 
//Usage
$value = "6 Month
3.140%
3.350%";
 
$rateInfo = parseRateInfo($value);
print_r($rateInfo);

 

Output

 

Array
(
    [description] => 6 Month
    [perc_low] => 3.140%
    [perc_high] => 3.350%
)

I smell an XY problem. OP, where does this array data come from? A database? How about showing the code how you come up with this array.
