I’ve got an array of objects (show below) and I would like to write a function that returns the same array but with the “object(s)” that meet the criterion removed.
The function would :
1- check if the index exists
2- if it exists, checks for the required value and if the object’s index is equal to that value, remove the whole object.
For example :
Array
(
[course] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Programmation Web
[description] =>
[public] => 0
[requests] => 0
[id] => 245
[members] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 11
[name] => Robert Smith
)
)
[projects] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 1923
[title] => Sans titre (1)
[type] => portfolio
)
)
[project_count] => 1
[admins] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[member] => 11
[firstname] => Robert
[lastname] => Smith
)
)
[topic_name] => Le PHP
[activites] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[topic_name] =>
[topic_id] => 42
[post_parent] => 107
[post_body] => Oui moi aussi je me demande ça.
[post_id] => 109
)
)
[forums] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[forum_name] => Discussion générale
[forum_id] => 101
)
)
)
[1] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Les bases de données
[description] =>
[public] => 0
[jointype] => controlled
[grouptype] => course
[membershiptype] => admin
[topic_name] => Difficulté
[activites] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[topic_name] =>
[topic_id] => 44
[post_parent] => 111
[post_body] => Ouah!
[post_id] => 112
)
)
[forums] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[forum_name] => Le MySQL
[forum_id] => 103
)
)
)
)
)
If there’s an object whose admins->member value is equal to 11, remove the object and return the array without this object. The returned array would thus be :
Array
(
[course] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[name] => Programmation Web
[description] =>
[public] => 0
[requests] => 0
[id] => 245
[members] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 11
[name] => Robert Smith (smithrobert)
)
)
[projects] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[id] => 1923
[title] => Sans titre (1)
[type] => portfolio
)
)
[project_count] => 1
[admins] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[member] => 11
[firstname] => Robert
[lastname] => Smith
)
)
[topic_name] => Le PHP
[activites] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[topic_name] =>
[topic_id] => 42
[post_parent] => 107
[post_body] => Oui moi aussi je me demande ça.
[post_id] => 109
)
)
[forums] => Array
(
[0] => stdClass Object
(
[forum_name] => Discussion générale
[forum_id] => 101
)
)
)
)
)
How would I go about doing that?
