I have a result array being returned from a search function in one of the models. Everything works fine, however, I have recently added an iteration block to redact a row of data based on an ID. Like so:
for($i=0;$i<count($searchResponse);$i++){
if($searchResponse[$i]['id']==$user_id){
unset($searchResponse[$i]);
}
}
The code works fine and removes the appropriate data correctly. However it changes the array structure from this:
"data":[
{
"id":"1",
"name_first":"Cameron",
"name_last":"Leafe",
"industry":"IT",
"workplace":"Leafe Interactive",
"imageURL":"https:\/\/scontent-b-kul.xx.fbcdn.net\/hphotos-xfa1\/t31.0-8\/p720x720\/819309_4979120151286_1476247244_o.jpg"
},
{
"id":"8",
"name_first":"Caroline",
"name_last":"McCullough",
"industry":"IT",
"workplace":"Occupation",
"imageURL":"http:\/\/www.mothersdelight.com\/avatar\/avatar.jpg"
},
{
"id":"11",
"name_first":"Akiko",
"name_last":"McDougall",
"industry":"IT",
"workplace":"Occupation",
"imageURL":"http:\/\/www.mothersdelight.com\/avatar\/avatar.jpg"
}
]
to this:
"data":{
"1":{
"id":"3",
"name_first":"Jane",
"name_last":"Doe",
"industry":"Retail - Fashion",
"workplace":"Big-W",
"imageURL":"http:\/\/www.johndoe.pro\/img\/John_Doe.jpg"
},
"5":{
"id":"8",
"name_first":"Caroline",
"name_last":"McCullough",
"industry":"IT",
"workplace":"Occupation",
"imageURL":"http:\/\/www.mothersdelight.com\/avatar\/avatar.jpg"
},
"6":{
"id":"11",
"name_first":"Akiko",
"name_last":"McDougall",
"industry":"IT",
"workplace":"Occupation",
"imageURL":"http:\/\/www.mothersdelight.com\/avatar\/avatar.jpg"
}
}
Note the added index for each item in the second example. This small change causes all sorts of problems client side, PHP is not my normal area and I am not sure why this block is changing the structure. Usually I would work around this on the client side, however, the product is already deployed.
Any insights or suggestions on how to prevent the iteration block from causing this integer index to appear would be greatly appreciated!
