Question

I’m looking for an easy way to combine two arrays.

$lang = array('de' => 'german', 'es' => 'spanish', 'nl' => 'dutch');

I have X sites which should have a table like this:

language    value1    value2    value3
--------------------------------------
de          123       56        097
en          84        129       123
es          0         0         0
nl          0         0         0

Site Y could look like this:

language    value1    value2    value3
--------------------------------------
de          9         12        123
en          32        65       156
es          0         0         0
nl          23        12        89

This table could differ on every site, but I want every language to be displayed even if it has no values. The list of languages should be separated to extend it later.

Answer 1

I was doing this from the CLI, so there’s no HTML structure to it. I’m not sure if I fully understood everything you were trying to do, but here’s what I have:

$lang = array('de' => 'german', 'es' => 'spanish', 'nl' => 'dutch', 'en' => 'english');

$sites = array(
    'value1' => array('en' => 35, 'de' => 54),
    'value2' => array('nl' => 543, 'en' => 234, 'es' => 2),
    'value3' => array('es' => 39)
);

printf("%-10s", "language");
$site_names = array_keys($sites);
foreach($site_names as $site_name)
{
    printf("%-10s", $site_name);
}
printf("\n%s\n", str_repeat('-', (count($site_names) + 1) * 10));

foreach($lang as $lang_short => $lang_long)
{
    printf("%-10s", $lang_short);
    foreach($sites as $site_name => $site_values)
    {
        printf("%-10d", isset($site_values[$lang_short]) ? $site_values[$lang_short] : 0);
    }
    printf("\n");
}

Output:

language  value1    value2    value3
----------------------------------------
de        54        0         0
es        0         2         39
nl        0         543       0
en        35        234       0
