Array in array for array_shift












0















I have several arrays from $ _REQUEST. For example: $ _REQUEST ['name'] and $ _REQUEST ['email']. That is, inside these arrays there is also an array. It turns out an array in an array.

Assigned them value



$name = $_REQUEST['name'];
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];


now I need to remove the first key with the value. For this I used array_shift



array_shift($name);
array_shift($email);


so i got rid of the first value. But, besides the name and email, there are others. It would not be desirable for everyone to write array_shift. How can I apply to all with one function?

thanx



UPD

For example $_REQUEST array:



Array (
[name] => Array (
[0] =>
[1] => myName
)
[email] => Array (
[0] =>
[1] => myEmail
)
[other] => Array (
[0] =>
[1] => otherDatas
)
)


I must get rid of these empty elements

  • Do you want to shift all arrays in $_REQUEST? Then you could just loop over them: foreach($_REQUEST as $r) array_shift($r); Or do you have a list/array of all variables that should be processed?

If I understand correctly, you have multiple arrays in your request and you want to do an array_shift on all of them?



You could loop through your $_REQUEST and apply that function to all the arrays. Maybe like this:



foreach ($_REQUEST as &$value) {
if (is_array($value) && empty($value[0])) {
array_shift($value);
}
}


That will shift all arrays in your request and leave any other variables alone.



EDIT: Updated the example to only shift arrays where the first element is empty.



EDIT2: Added & to $value so that you can change the $_REQUEST variable directly.

array_filter will clear empty values even if they are at any index.



$cleanArray = array();
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value) {
$cleanArray[$key] = array_filter($value);
}



Output




Array (
[name] => Array (
[1] => myName
)
[email] => Array (
[1] => myEmail
)
[other] => Array (
[1] => otherDatas
)
)


Please note, it will also clear values like null, (blank) and false. Example Reference

    What you might do is create an array with the keys that you want from $_REQUEST and use array_intersect_key to get your subset.



    Then use array_map to check if the value is an array and return that value using array_filter to remove all values that you consider empty:



    $keys = [
    "name",
    "email"
    ];

    $result = array_map(function ($x) {
    if (is_array($x)) {
    return array_filter($x, function($y){
    return null !== $y && "" !== trim($y);
    });
    }
    return $x;
    }, array_intersect_key($_REQUEST, array_flip($keys)));

    print_r($result);

              What you might do is create an array with the keys that you want from $_REQUEST and use array_intersect_key to get your subset.



              Then use array_map to check if the value is an array and return that value using array_filter to remove all values that you consider empty:



              $keys = [
              "name",
              "email"
              ];

              $result = array_map(function ($x) {
              if (is_array($x)) {
              return array_filter($x, function($y){
              return null !== $y && "" !== trim($y);
              });
              }
              return $x;
              }, array_intersect_key($_REQUEST, array_flip($keys)));

              print_r($result);
