I have a csv file which I am trying to turn into a different structured array. First, I turn it into an array named all_data() constructed like this:<\/p>\n

$data = file_get_contents($id . '.csv');\n      $data_array = explode(\"\\n\", $data);\n      foreach($data_array AS $data){\n            $all_data[] = explode(\"\\t\", $data);\n      }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
results look like this:<\/p>\n
    array(5) {\n      [0]=>\n      array(2) {\n        [0]=>\n        string(10) \"2012-11-14\"\n        [1]=>\n        string(2) \"10\"\n      }\n      [1]=>\n      array(2) {\n        [0]=>\n        string(10) \"2012-11-14\"\n        [1]=>\n        string(2) \"10\"\n      }\n      [2]=>\n      array(2) {\n        [0]=>\n        string(10) \"2012-11-14\"\n        [1]=>\n        string(2) \"10\"\n      }\n      [3]=>\n      array(2) {\n        [0]=>\n        string(10) \"2012-11-14\"\n        [1]=>\n        string(2) \"10\"\n      }\n\n      [4]=>\n      array(1) {\n        [0]=>\n        string(0) \"\"\n      }\n\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And then I turn it into im_arr() with the following code:<\/p>\n
  foreach($all_data as $key => $value){\n            $im_arr[$key][$value[0]] = $value[1];\n       }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
The results:<\/p>\n
array(5) {\n  [0]=>\n  array(1) {\n    [\"2012-11-14\"]=>\n    string(2) \"10\"\n  }\n  [1]=>\n  array(1) {\n    [\"2012-11-14\"]=>\n    string(2) \"10\"\n  }\n  [2]=>\n  array(1) {\n    [\"2012-11-14\"]=>\n    string(2) \"10\"\n  }\n  [3]=>\n  array(1) {\n    [\"2012-11-14\"]=>\n    string(2) \"10\"\n  }\n\n  [4]=>\n  array(1) {\n    [\"\"]=>\n    NULL\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
And then, finally another foreach loop gives me the results I am looking for:<\/p>\n
foreach ($im_arr as $val) {\n    foreach ($val as $key => $val2) {\n        $im_data[$key]=$val2;\n    }\n       }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
With the result for im_data() being:<\/p>\n
array(2) {\n  [\"2012-11-14\"]=>\n  string(2) \"10\"\n  [\"\"]=>\n  NULL\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Which would be perfect, since the array im_data() is exactly what I would like to get out of all_data(). However, when I am trying to put this code in another part of the program it doesn’t work, and I am thinking it might be because of the warnings I receive:<\/p>\n
“PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in … on line 93”<\/p>\n
Line 93 corresponds to this line:<\/p>\n
$im_arr[$key][$value[0]] = $value[1];\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
Here is the complete part of the code:<\/p>\n
  $all_data = array();\n  $im_arr=array();\n\n$data = file_get_contents($id . '.csv');\n      $data_array = explode(\"\\n\", $data);\n      foreach($data_array AS $data){\n            $all_data[] = explode(\"\\t\", $data);\n      }\n\n      foreach($all_data as $key => $value){\n            $im_arr[$key][$value[0]] = $value[1];  \/\/the line for the error\n       }\n    $im_data=array();  \n\nforeach ($im_arr as $val) {\n    foreach ($val as $key => $val2) {\n        $im_data[$key]=$val2;\n    }\n       }\n\n\n\n\nvar_dump($im_data);\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
I know there are many many questions posted for this same error, but I couldn’t figure out the problem with this particular piece of code.<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. \n
    This is the problem:<\/p>\n
    [4]=>\n  array(1) {\n    [0]=>\n    string(0) \"\"\n  }\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Just check that the data is set, and isn’t empty before adding them to $im_arr<\/code>:<\/p>\n
    foreach ($all_data as $key => $value) { \n  if (isset($value[0]) && isset($value[1]) && !empty($value[0]) && !empty($value[1])) {\n    $im_arr[$key][$value[0]] = $value[1];\n  }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n
  2. \n
    For every foreach i would pre-check if the first argument is an array<\/p>\n
    For instance ;<\/p>\n
    \/\/Just add line below for every foreach (and add any required else statement if needed)\nif(is_array($im_arr))\nforeach ($im_arr as $val) {\n    if(is_array($val))\n    foreach ($val as $key => $val2) {\n        $im_data[$key]=$val2;\n    }\n}\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
