Re: Not easy! Best way to clean an array of arrays

Hi Guys, I hope someone can help me with this, because i'm getting
crazy to find a good way to do that!

This is what I got by querying a db.

$arr1 = array("site", "description", "area1" , "activity1");
$arr2 = array("site", "description", "area1" , "activity2");
$arr3 = array("site", "description", "area2" , "activity2");
$arr4 = array("site1", "description1", "area3" , "activity2");

$my_array = array($arr1, $arr2, $arr3, $arr4);

Site and description are linked because they are in the same row of
the same table.
But every site can have 1 or more areas and every area can have 1 or
more activity.

I'd like to clean $my_array in a way I can have a compact one without
doubles

//pseudocode!
$new = array (
array('site','descr') => array (
array('area','activity')
)
);
Is it possible??

Thanks for your precious help

Rather I think I'd make both the site name and the area indexes. You can still access the keys of those items, and it will make building your array much easier.

use something like:

$myarray = array($sitename =>
array('description' => $description,
'area' =>
array($area =>'activities' =>
array($activity))));

$sitename is the actual sitename retrieved from the database. This would give you an array similar to

[site1] = Array {
[description] = First site's description
[area] = Array {
[area1] = Array {
[0] = first activity
[1] = second activity
}
}
}
