I have this array in php returned from db
Array
(
[inv_templates] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[inven_subgroup_template_id] => 1
[inven_group] => Wires
[inven_subgroup] => CopperWires
[inven_template_id] => 1
[inven_template_name] => CopperWires6G
[constrained] => 0
[value_constraints] =>
[accept_range] => 2 - 16
[information] => Measured Manual
)
[1] => Array
(
[inven_subgroup_template_id] => 1
[inven_group] => Wires
[inven_subgroup] => CopperWires
[inven_template_id] => 2
[inven_template_name] => CopperWires2G
[constrained] => 0
[value_constraints] =>
[accept_range] => 1 - 7
[information] => Measured by Automated Calipers
)
)
)
I need to output this kind of multidimensional stuff
Array
(
[Wires] => Array
(
[inv_group_name] => Wires
[inv_subgroups] => Array
(
[CopperWires] => Array
(
[inv_subgroup_id] => 1
[inv_subgroup_name] => CopperWires
[inv_templates] => Array
(
[CopperWires6G] => Array
(
[inv_name] => CopperWires6G
[inv_id] => 1
)
[CopperWires2G] => Array
(
[inv_name] => CopperWires2G
[inv_id] => 2
)
)
)
)
)
)
I currently do this stuff
foreach ($data['inv_templates'] as $key => $value) {
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_group_name'] = $value['inven_group'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_subgroup_id'] = $value['inven_subgroup_template_id'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_subgroup_name'] = $value['inven_subgroup'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_templates'][$value['inven_template_name']]['inv_name'] = $value['inven_template_name'];
$processeddata[$value['inven_group']]['inv_subgroups'][$value['inven_subgroup']]['inv_templates'][$value['inven_template_name']]['inv_id'] = $value['inven_template_id'];
}
return $processeddata;
EDIT : A var_export
array (
'inv_templates' =>
array (
0 =>
array (
'inven_subgroup_template_id' => '1',
'inven_group' => 'Wires',
'inven_subgroup' => 'CopperWires',
'inven_template_id' => '1',
'inven_template_name' => 'CopperWires6G',
'constrained' => '0',
'value_constraints' => '',
'accept_range' => '2 - 16',
'information' => 'Measured Manual',
),
1 =>
array (
'inven_subgroup_template_id' => '1',
'inven_group' => 'Wires',
'inven_subgroup' => 'CopperWires',
'inven_template_id' => '2',
'inven_template_name' => 'CopperWires6G',
'constrained' => '0',
'value_constraints' => '',
'accept_range' => '1 - 7',
'information' => 'Measured by Automated Calipers',
),
),
)
The foreach is almost unreadable. There must be a simpler way
