Well in your approach you get a bunch of empty elements where the spaces
are. Here are two ways but I'm sure one preg_match_all() without the
explodes and loop could do it (some guru will show us):
//one way
$text = 'xxx xx x xx xxx
xx x x xxx xx xx
xx xxx xx xx xx';
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $text);
foreach($lines as $line) {
$temp = explode(' ', $line);
$result[] = array_filter($temp, 'reduce');
}
function reduce($var) {
return !empty($var);
}
print_r($result);
//another way
$text = 'xxx xx x xx xxx
xx x x xxx xx xx
xx xxx xx xx xx';
$lines = explode(PHP_EOL, $text);
foreach($lines as $line) {
preg_match_all('|([^\s]+)+|', $line, $matches);
$result[] = $matches[1];
}
print_r($result);

After assigning the string do
$string = preg_replace('/\s+/',' ',$string);
Then you should be able to do the two explodes.

[PHP] multi dimensional arrays / radio buttons / mass confusion on my part
Ok.. what I have is a database of first names and last names, and some other columns that don't matter here. A form is presented to a user, lets them enter a bunch of names, attributes of the person, etc. After submission, each record is checked against the current database to see if the name currently exists, or names similar to it exist. If so, it gives the option of either: a) entering the new record or b) selecting one of the existing records Example: Enter your names, positions: Joe Schmoe, LW Random Guy, RW (submit button) After DB check for existing users: Found: () Joey Schmoe Click radio button to se this record () Create New Record No matches found for Random Guy, must be a new user. (submit button) My problem is keeping this data consistent form by form, and updating the data when an existing record is selected instead of creating a new one (the existing data needs to go into another table, so I need to grab the user id # of the existing record, etc) Any thoughts on how to approach this? After the first form, should I make a multi-dimensional array, and have the second form update/change the elements of it? I haven't used any PHP arrays in this yet, just been messing with the HTML form array stuff.. Sorry if this is confusing.. if any part needs clarification, please let me know.

RE: [PHP] multi dimensional arrays / radio buttons / mass confusion on my part
It sounds like you're trying to do too many things at once. If you create a form to accept entries, process the entries when the form is submitted. Check each entry and only add ones that don't already exist in the database. After that, if you want to display results, start at the beginning of the array from the submitted form and pull information from the database for each entry - by this point every one of them should have an account and it's just a matter of listing their information...

RE: [PHP] Multi Dimensional Arrays?
You are on the right track but doing something wrong: You are correctly assigning a string to an array: //Main Menu Array $main_menu[0] = Menu 1; //Represents the name of the menu But then you are taking that string one character at a time and replacing it with invalid data: //Menu 1 Array $main_menu[0][0] = Test 1; $main_menu[0][1] = Test 2; $main_menu[0][2] = Test 3; $main_menu[0][3] = Test 4; The result is echo $main_menu[0] prints: 4 This is doing exactly what you are asking it to do. Create an array then one character at a time replace it with with the first character in the provided string. You would be better of doing this: $main_menu[0][] = Title of the Menu; $main_menu[0][] = Test 1; $main_menu[0][] = Test 2; $main_menu[0][] = Test 3; $main_menu[0][] = Test 4; That way element [0] will always be the title and all following values will be elements in that menu. If you do the above, then type: echo count($mail_menu[0]); It will return 5. This whole thing about recursive funcions to count multiple dimensional arrays that don't really exist is incorrect. The count() function will work fine in your example, just build your multi-dimensional array correctly. If you need to count the all the elements in a multi-dimensional array then you will need to write a function that is recursive, but you shouldn't need to iterate through each element incrementing a counter to do so. Just use count(). It works fine on multi-dimensional arrays.

RE: [PHP] Multi Dimensional Arrays?
actually a nested foreach() is probably better. Use it in a function that
calls itself recursively for all elements that are arrays and adds to the
count for all that aren't.
I posted a function that does this a little while ago, don't think I've got
it anymore but the idea is fairly straightforward.
The key to dealing with multi-dimensional arrays is in realising that they
don't exist. In your example you have an array with a single element. That
element is itself an array with 4 elements. Any one (or all) of these
elements could be another array, hence the need for a recursive function to
find the elements in a multi-dimensional array.

I would have to say you would need a nested for loop to count
your array.
$j = 0 ;
$k = 0 ;
for ( ; $j != '' ) ; $j++ )
{
//top of the col.
echo $main_menu[$j][$k]br;
for ( $k = 1; $k != '' ; $k++ )
{
// then everything under the col (by row)
echo $main_menu[$j][$k]br;
}
}

Subject: [PHP] Multi Dimensional Arrays?
Hello,
I am working on a menu script that I wanted to use
multi-dimensional arrays
for.
Here is the conf file I have:
//Main Menu Array
$main_menu[0] = Menu 1; //Represents the name of the menu
//Menu 1 Array
$main_menu[0][0] = Test 1;
$main_menu[0][1] = Test 2;
$main_menu[0][2] = Test 3;
$main_menu[0][3] = Test 4;
When I try to us count like:
$count = count($main_menu[0]);
I only get 1. My question is how do I count a multi
dimensional array.
Thanks for the help,
Brandon
