Question

If i hand code each array value like this:

$paymentDetailsType->setPaymentDetailsItem(
    array (
        'PaymentDetailsItem00' => $paymentDetailsItem,
        'PaymentDetailsItem01' => $paymentDetailsItem1,
    )
);

it works, however the number of array items can vary so i tried this with horrible results not sure what else to try

for ($i=0; $i<$_POST['cartcount']; $i++) {
    if ($i==0) {
        $paymentDetailsType->setPaymentDetailsItem(
            array (                     
                'PaymentDetailsItem00' => $paymentDetailsItem,
            )
        );
    } else {
        $paymentDetailsType =& $paymentDetailsType->setPaymentDetailsItem(
            array (
                'PaymentDetailsItem0'.$i.'' => ${'paymentDetailsItem'.$i},
            )
        );
    }
}

What I believe I am trying to do is add an array value to an object method.

Answer 1

$thenewarray = array (
    'PaymentDetailsItem00' => $paymentDetailsItem,
);

if ($_POST['cartcount']>1) {
    for ($i=1; $i<$_POST['cartcount']; $i++) {
        $thenewarray['PaymentDetailsItem0'.$i.''] = ${'paymentDetailsItem'.$i};
    }
    $i=0;
}

$paymentDetailsType->setPaymentDetailsItem($thenewarray);

created the array beforehand then loop through added the keys and values finally after the array has been completed add it to the object
