I have two different arrays with the following format:
$customersList = Array(
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'JOHN LEGEND'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'MARIAH CAREY'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'JAY Z'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => null),
);
$searchingValue = Array(
Array('lastName' => 'TRAVOLTA', 'firstName' => 'JOHN'),
Array('lastName' => 'CAREY', 'firstName' => 'MARIAH'),
Array('lastName' => 'MODE', 'firstName' => 'DEPECHE'),
Array('lastName' => 'BRUCE', 'firstName' => 'WILL'),
);
I want to match values from $customersList
with values from $searchingValue
based on the following algorithm: if ((firstName1 == $firstName 2 and $lastName1==$lastName2) or (firstName1 == lastName2 or lastName1 == firstName2) is true then do nothing else insert the new customer in $customersList
.
My code is this:
$ignoreIfFound = true;
foreach ($searchingValue as $value) {
$uploadedAlready = false;
foreach ($customersList as $info) {
if ($info['id'] === null and $info['title']) {
list($paxLastName, $paxFirstName) = explode(' ', $info['title']);
if (($paxLastName == $value['lastName'] and $paxFirstName == $value['firstName']) or ($paxLastName == $value['firstName'] and $paxFirstName == $value['lastName'])) {
if (!$ignoreIfFound and !$uploadedAlready) {
$customersList[] = Array('id' => null, 'title' => $value['lastName'].' '.$value['firstName']);
$uploadedAlready = true;
}
}
else {
if (!$uploadedAlready) {
$customersList[] = Array('id' => null, 'title' =>$value['lastName'].' '.$value['firstName']);
$uploadedAlready = true;
}
}
}
else {
if (!$uploadedAlready) {
$customersList[] = Array('id' => null, 'title' => $value['lastName'].' '.$value['firstName']);
$uploadedAlready = true;
}
}
}}
But it is not working properly. For given example the new customersList should be:
$customersList = Array(
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'JOHN LEGEND'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'MARIAH CAREY'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'JAY Z'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => null),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'TRAVOLTA JOHN'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'MODE DEPECHE'),
Array('id' => null, 'title' => 'BRUCE WILL'),
);
Thank you in advance!
