I would like to change the values in one multidimensional array if a corresponding key is found in another flat, associative array.
I have these two arrays:
$full = [ 'Cars' => [ 'Volvo' => 0, 'Mercedes' => 0, 'BMW' => 0, 'Audi' => 0 ], 'Motorcycle' => [ 'Ducati' => 0, 'Honda' => 0, 'Suzuki' => 0, 'KTM' => 0 ] ]; $semi = [ 'Volvo' => 1, 'Audi' => 1 ];
I want the array to look like this:
Array ( [Cars] => Array ( [Volvo] => 1 [Mercedes] => 0 [BMW] => 0 [Audi] => 1 ) [Motorcycle] => Array ( [Ducati] => 0 [Honda] => 0 [Suzuki] => 0 [KTM] => 0 ) )
I get the $semi array back from my input field and want to merge it into $full to save it into my database.
I already tried array_replace()
like:
$replaced = array_replace($full, $semi);

Answer
You should loop your $semi
array and check if it exists in one of $full
arrays, then add to it:
foreach ($semi as $semiItem => $semiValue) { foreach ($full as &$fullItems) { if (isset($fullItems[$semiItem])) { $fullItems[$semiItem] = $semiValue; } } }
