I have the following code...

 

Array

(
    [fields] => City|Price
    [values] => Las Vegas|$600,000
    [template] => similar_listings.php
    [orderby] => Price
    [orderdir] => DESC
    [sort_type] => LOCAL
    [count] => 3
    [masterdb] => 1
    [get] => Array
        (
            [sorteddir] => DESC
        )

)

I want to change auto remove the $ sign on the fly
I have tried the following.. since the array is named $param i tried


$param[1][values] = str_replace('$', "', $param[1][values]);
But it did not work...
Then i tried

 

$cnt=0

foreach($param as $x) {if ($cnt==1) $x = "Las Vegas|600,000)$cnt++;}
and it failed also.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you getting errors? If so, what are the exact messages?

 

 

For the first attempt, try changing it to

$param[1]['values'] = str_replace('$', '', $param[1]['values']);

Note that I added quotes around the "values" array key. I also changed the second parameter for str_replace(). For some reason, the code posted had a double quote followed by a single quote.

 

 

 

For the second attempt, you can get the array key in the foreach loop.

foreach($param as $key => $x) {

Then you need to assign the modified value back to the original array...assuming you want to use $param later in the script.

foreach($param as $key => $x) {
    if ($key==1) $param[$key]['values'] = "Las Vegas|600,000";
}

Simple enough...

<?php
$param = [


    "fields" => "City|Price",
    "values" => "Las Vegas|$600,000",
    "template" => "similar_listings.php",
    "orderby" => "Price",
    "orderdir" => "DESC",
    "sort_type" => "LOCAL",
    "count" => 3,
    "masterdb" => 1,
    "get" => 
        [
            "sorteddir" => "DESC"
        ]

];

echo $param['values'] = str_replace('$', '', $param['values']);

I don't get any errors.. but when i do it the way you showed.. its seems to work but added it to the end of my array while i need it to repace the existing one.. as you can see it still there in orig form but added at bottom also..

 

This one did not actually work...

foreach($param as $key => $x) {
    if ($key==1) $param[$key]['values'] = "Las Vegas|600,000";
}

but this one did

$params[1]['values'] = "Las Vegas|600,000";

but as you can see below it added it to the bottom vice replacing it..

Thank you so much for your help i already understand this much better.

Array
(
    [fields] => City|Price
    [values] => Las Vegas|$600,000
    [template] => similar_listings.php
    [orderby] => Price
    [orderdir] => DESC
    [sort_type] => LOCAL
    [count] => 3
    [masterdb] => 1
    [get] => Array
        (
            [sorteddir] => DESC
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [values] => Las Vegas|600,000
        )

)

God bless you both.. i have learned sooooo much on this.. but the part that finally worked for me is removing the [1] like this $param[1]['values']);  $param['values']

Should it have worked also with athe [1] looks like it should .. wish i could give yu both a star for such great help... but thank you sooo much..

This line made it all work for me... echo $param['values'] = str_replace(', '', $param['values']);

Since you are using an associative array, you would not. However, you would use it for multidimensional associative arrays like the following:

$param = array(
    array(
        "fields" => "City|Price",
        "values" => "New York City|$800,000",
        "template" => "similar_listings.php",
        "orderby" => "Price",
        "orderdir" => "DESC",
        "sort_type" => "LOCAL",
        "count" => 3,
        "masterdb" => 1,
        "get" => 
            array(
                "sorteddir" => "DESC"
            )
    ),
    array(
        "fields" => "City|Price",
        "values" => "Las Vegas|$600,000",
        "template" => "similar_listings.php",
        "orderby" => "Price",
        "orderdir" => "DESC",
        "sort_type" => "LOCAL",
        "count" => 3,
        "masterdb" => 1,
        "get" => 
            array(
                "sorteddir" => "DESC"
            )
    )
);
 
Sorry for any confusion. I didn't pay enough attention to the array structure you provided.  :-[
