Question

I have this issue where I am trying to add values from one array to another that’s nested under the original array’s name.

For example, this script returns an array:

<?php
return array (
'HTTP' => array(

    'GET' => array(

        '/' => function() {

        },

    ),

    'POST' => array(

        '/' => function($username, $password) {

        },

    )

),

'HTTPS' => array(

    'GET' => array(

        '/account/(:num)' => function($number) {

        }

    )
)

Then I have a class with a var of:

private $routes = array(
    'HTTP' => array(
        'GET'  => array(),
        'POST' => array()
    ),
    'HTTPS' => array(
        'GET'  => array(),
        'POST' => array()
    ),
    'FILTRERS' =>
        'BEFORE' => array(),
        'AFTER' => array()
);

What I am doing is using glob to read all the files, but the issue I can’t work out is how to loop though all the arrays from the first scrsipt and push them into the var.

var would be:

 private $routes = array(
    'HTTP' => array(
        'GET'  => array(
             'example' => array(
                 '/' => function() {

                  },
             )
        ),
        'POST' => array(
             'example' => array(
                 '/account/(:num)' => function($number) {

                  },
             )
        )
    ),
    'HTTPS' => array(
        'GET'  => array(
             'example' => array(
                 '/' => function() {

                  },
             )
        ),
        'POST' => array()
    ),
    'FILTRERS' =>
        'BEFORE' => array(),
        'AFTER' => array()
);

The only why I can think of is using around four nested foreaches, or duplicating the code for each array set

Answer 1

Assuming the first array is stored in $input you can use this. I have hard-coded 'example' based on your expected output.

foreach ($input as $protocol => $methods) {
    foreach ($methods as $method => $routeArray) {
        $routes[$protocol][$method]['example'] = $routeArray;
    }
}
