hello all,
I have an array like this:
array (
1 => array(123, 345, 454),
2 => array(8854, 393, 4947, 77, 3343),
3 => array(393, 33)
);
I need to create an array sequence from that that would look like this:
array (
'1:123',
'2:8854',
'3:393',
'1:345',
'2:393',
'3:33',
'1:454',
'2:4947',
'3:393', // notice this has started from the start again...
'1:123', // as has this..
'2:77',
etc etc
);
untill the last number of the largest array (number 2 in
the original array) have been used.
I do have some code to show you but im afraid ive been going at it all
the wrong way so im not sure it's of any use. (posted below) - Could
someone please help me out? im just not good enough to do this i
think... thanks very much indeed..
#### Nicks messed up code so far:
function rubbish_function($machines) {
while(count($machines) > 1) {
for($i=0; $i<count($machines); $i++) {
sequence[] = ($i+1) . ':' . rtrim($machines[$i][0]);
array_shift($machines[$i]);
}
if(empty($machines[$i])) {
array_shift($machines);
} else rubbish_function($machines);
}
return $sequence;
}
