Code: Select all

$tst="3315|Pencils|2|10.24|ON|3320|Textas|2|15.32|ON||||||||";
print_r(getProductArray($tst));
function getProductArray($string){
    $res=array();
    $str=false;
    do{
        $res[]=explode("|",$string,6);
        $str=end($res);
        $string=strlen($str[5])?$str[5]."|":"";
    }while($string);
    foreach($res as $id=>$row) unset($res[$id][5]);
    return $res;
}

awesome... It works...

But how do I pull individual result out of that array?

Nevermind, I figured it out... Thanks!

I'm having trouble figuring out how to get each line out in a variable from that array?

Code: Select all

foreach($result_array as $line){
    //.... do something with line
}

Continuing on from the example you gave above, this is what I have:


foreach($res as $line)
{

$articleNum = $line[1];
$productPackage = $line[2];
$quantity = $line[3];
$price = $line[4];
$gst = $line[5];

I think I may have thrown myself in too deep... lol. Thanks for your help.

This is the only thing I'm still stuck on now

heh, Uni, I don't understand your requirements. English isn't my native tongue :D so could you explain in details what do you need to extract from that array?

Code: Select all

<?php
while($i != 9) 
{ 

$articleNum = $results[$i][1]; 
$productPackage = $results[$i][2]; 
$quantity = $results[$i][3]; 
$price = $results[$i][4]; 
$gst = $results[$i][5];

}
?>
That is continued from your example earlier in this thread... In the code above, I'm trying to extract each of the 5 pieces of information into a variable from the 10 lines that were put into the array.

Thanks for your help once again :)

You're not trying, you're doing it ;) So what's wrong with the above code? (don't forget to increment $i variable in loop unless you really want infinite loop):

Code: Select all

while($i != 9) 
{ 
  $articleNum = $results[$i][1]; 
  $productPackage = $results[$i][2]; 
  $quantity = $results[$i][3]; 
  $price = $results[$i][4]; 
  $gst = $results[$i][5];
  
  //do something
  $i++; //increment the $i
}

The problem is that it returns nothing from the results array.

try this just before the while loop then post the results here so we can see what, if anything the results array contains

Code: Select all

echo "<pre>";
print_r($results);
echo "</pre>";

Nevermind... Figured out that the $results array was inside a function, therefore not global... And when called on outside that function contained nothing...

Silly me. lol
