Search and remove an element in mulit-dimentional array in php depending on a criteria
- by Nadeem
I've a simple question about multi-dim array, I want to remove any redundent element let's say in my case, [serviceMethod] => PL is coming 2 times, I want to search 'PL' with respect of [APIPriceTax] if an element has a lower price I want to keep it and remove the other one in array
Array (
[0] => Array (
[carrierIDs] => 150
[serviceMethod] => CP
[APIPriceTax] => 30.63
[APIPriceWithOutTax] 28.32
[APIServiceName] => Xpresspost USA
[APIExpectedTransitDay] => 2
)
[1] => Array (
[carrierIDs] => 155
[serviceMethod] => PL
[APIPriceTax] => 84.13
[APIPriceWithOutTax] => 73.8
[APIServiceName] => PurolatorExpressU.S.
[APIExpectedTransitDay] => 1
)
[2] => Array (
[carrierIDs] => 164
[serviceMethod] => PL
[APIPriceTax] => 25.48
[APIPriceWithOutTax] => 22.35
[APIServiceName] => PurolatorGroundU.S.
[APIExpectedTransitDay] => 3
)
)
This is my pseudo code: Where $carrierAddedToList is the actual array
$newCarrierAry = function($carrierAddedToList)
{
$newArray = array();
foreach($carrierAddedToList as $cV => $cK)
{
if( !in_array($cK['serviceMethod'],$newArray) )
{
array_push($newArray, $cK['serviceMethod']);
}
}
return $newArray;
} ;
print_r($newCarrierAry($carrierAddedToList));
