PHP: array_pad

Описание

array array_pad ( array input, integer pad_size, mixed pad_value )

Функция array_pad() возвращает копию массива исходный_массив, размер которого был увеличен до значения параметра размер элементами со значением значение. Если параметр размер является положительным числом, то массив увеличивается с конца, если отрицательный - сначала. Если абсолютное значение параметра размер меньше или равно размеру массива исходный_массив, функция не производит никаких операций.

Пример 1. Пример использования array_pad()

$input = array (12, 10, 9); $result = array_pad ($input, 5, 0); // результат: array (12, 10, 9, 0, 0) $result = array_pad ($input, -7, -1); // результат: array (-1, -1, -1, -1, 12, 10, 9) $result = array_pad ($input, 2, "noop"); // операция не произведена

Easy way to get an array contains 5 random numbers from 0 to 9:



$rand_arr = array_rand( array_pad( array(), 10, 1 ), 5 );

One way to initialize a 20x20 multidimensional array.  





<?php


$a = array();


$b = array();


$b = array_pad($b,20,0);


$a = array_pad($a,20,$b);


?>

little older, a little wiser.





ksort() will order the array back into its normal order again


so:





<?php


$myArr = array(2 => 'two', 4 => 'four');





$newArr = array_pad(array(), 6, 'FILLED');


$newArr =$myArr+$newArr;


ksort($newArr);


?>





Will give : 


Array ( [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED [2] => two [3] => FILLED [4] => four [5] => FILLED )

To daarius - you mean you have...





[2]=>"two"


[3]=>"three"





and you want...





[0]=>"FILLED"


[1]=>"FILLED"


[2]=>"two"


[3]=>"three"


[4]=>"FILLED"


[5]=>"FILLED"





If so, then the following code...





<?php


$array = array(2 => "two", 3 => "three");


$array = array_pad($array, count($array)+2, "FILLED");


$num = -(count($array)+2);


$array = array_pad($array, $num, "FILLED");


print_r($array);


?>





will return:


Array ( [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED [2] => two [3] => three [4] => FILLED [5] => FILLED )


The ordering should be okay,...

OR you could do this 





<?php


$myArr = array(2 => 'three', 3 => 'four');





$newArr = array_pad(array(), 4, 'FILLED');


$newArr =$myArr+$newArr;


?>





This gives your desired result BUT the ordering is a little wierd, because of the order they were added. Indexes are okay though and that is what you wanted.





print_r($newArr) outputs


Array ( [2] => three [3] => four [0] => FILLED [1] => FILLED )





hope this helps

yes that is true. But, if the index of the array is 2=two, 3=three



and i want 4 more keys to be filled. But, not just filled anywhere, but i want to maintain the key index.



so, i would like to have 0=FILLED, 1=FILLED ... 4=FILLED, 5=FILLED



now i got 4 more keys padded with my string.



We can do this "if" we know the missing keys, but if we dont, then it would be nice for array_pad() or perhaps some new function to do this?



obviously we can achive this by looping through the array using array_key_exists(), and if you dont find the key, simply create + fill it.

Daarius...

to the previous commenter -- if you read the manual entry, you'd see that a negative pad_size will put the pad values at the front of the array.

This is useful when using next() and prev() function in a while loop to traverse an array. 





For example the following code will only output up to 8.





<?php


$test[] = "1";


$test[] = "2";


$test[] = "3";


$test[] = "4";


$test[] = "5";


$test[] = "6";


$test[] = "7";


$test[] = "8";


$test[] = "9";


$test[] = "10";


$test[] = " ";


$test[] = " ";


$test[] = " ";





$count = count($test);





while($i < $count) {





$now = current($test);


echo "<p>$now</p>";





next($test);


next($test);


next($test);


prev($test);


prev($test);


prev($test);








$i++;


next($test);


}


?>





But if you use:


$test = array_pad($test, 13, " ");





you will get all of your output.
