Question

Thanks guys. I was wrong about my way. Please don’t post anymore.

I had some trouble with my array.

I generate my array in this way:

private function _getMenuBar(){
    $data = array();
    $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM df_menubar_table WHERE visible = 1 AND parent = -1 ORDER BY priority");
    foreach($query->result_array() as $row){
      $data[count($data)] = array(
        "menu" => array(
          "title" => $row['title'],
          "url" => $row['url'],
          "name" => $row['name'],
          "selected" => 0
        )
      );
    }
    return $data;
  }

As usual array will feed like

array[0] = menu => array(title,url,name,selected);

but I want to not define $data[**count($data)**] as index and define ‘menu’ as index. And CodeIgniter doesn’t support something like this for passing to views. Therefore I need to key be the menu.

It means:

array[0] = menu => array(title,url,name,selected);

To:

array[‘menu’] = array(title,url,name,selected);

BTW, I tried += but It just stored the last row.

Thanks.

Edit:

I tried your way it turned to this:

I tried it. But it turned to this:

array(1) {
  ["menu"]=>
  array(5) {
    [0]=>
    array(1) {
      ["menu"]=>
      array(4) {
        ["title"]=>
        string(8) "اصلی"
        ["url"]=>
        string(30) "http://localhost/dreamfactory/"
        ["name"]=>
        NULL
        ["selected"]=>
        int(0)
      }
    }

Answer 1

You need some type of unique identifier. Adding multiple items to array[‘menu’], with no unique identifier, will cause the last/newest item to overwrite the ones before. You can have an array set up like below.

 Array 1:
 Array (
   [menu] => Array (
     [0] => Array (
       [title] => Title
       [url] => URL
       [name] => Name
       [selected] => Selected
     )
   )
 )

 Array 2:
 Array (
   [0] => Array (
       [title] => Title
       [url] => URL
       [name] => Name
       [selected] => Selected
   )
 )

The last one can be with or with out the menu item.

Code will look like below (simplified)

 private function _getMenuBar(){
  $data = array();
  $query = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM df_menubar_table WHERE visible = 1 AND parent = -1 ORDER BY priority");
  $countRows = 0;
  foreach($query->result_array() as $row){
   $data[$countRows] = array(
      "title" => $row['title'],
      "url" => $row['url'],
      "name" => $row['name'],
      "selected" => 0
    );
    $countRows++;
   }
  return $data;
 }
