I have an array that I'm creating inside my PHP script, the var_dump function gives me this value :var_dump($arrayOfValues);
array(3) {
[0]=> array(2) {
[0]=> string(12) "BusinessName"
[1]=> string(13) "ITCompany"
}
[1]=> array(2) {
[0]=> string(7) "Address"
[1]=> string(58) "29 xxxxxx,Canada"
}
[2]=> array(2) {
[0]=> string(20) "PrimaryBusinessPhone"
[1]=> string(14) "(444) 111-1111"
}
[3]=> array(2) {
[0]=> string(13) "BusinessEmail"
[1]=> string(24) "[email protected]"
}
}
I would like to access to the value of the "BusinessName" using key and not index so if I put : echo $arrayOfValue[0][1];
it gives me the BusinessName that is ITCompany but if I put
: echo $arrayOfValue['BusinessName'][1];
it gives nothing so how can I fix that please?
The array is initialized $arrayOfValue = array();
and then populated dynamically inside a for loop like that
$arrayOfValue[] = array($Label, $Value);

First of all, how are you building this array ? Maybe you can directly make a workable array.
Anyway, you can do something like this :
$oldArray = Array(
Array("BusinessName", "ITCompany"),
Array("Address", "29 xxxxxx,Canada"),
Array("PrimaryBusinessPhone", "(444) 111-1111"),
Array("BusinessEmail", "[email protected]")
);
$newArray = Array();
foreach($oldArray as value) {
$newValue[$value[0]] = $value[1];
}
/* Now, it's equal to
$newArray = Array(
"BusinessName" => "ITCompany",
"Address" => "29 xxxxxx,Canada",
"PrimaryBusinessPhone" => "(444) 111-1111",
"BusinessEmail" => "[email protected]"
);
*/

$arrayOfPostsValue[] = array("BusinessName","ITCompany");
$arrayOfPostsValue[] = array("Address","29 xxxxxx,Canada");
$arrayOfPostsValue[] = array("PrimaryBusinessPhone","(444) 111-1111");
$arrayOfPostsValue[] = array("BusinessEmail","[email protected]");
$newArrayOfPostsValue = array();
foreach ( $arrayOfPostsValue as $value ){
$newArrayOfPostsValue[$value[0]] = $value[1];
}
print_r($newArrayOfPostsValue);
Array
(
[BusinessName] => ITCompany
[Address] => 29 xxxxxx,Canada
[PrimaryBusinessPhone] => (444) 111-1111
[BusinessEmail] => [email protected]
)

As mentioned in the comment, change the structure of the array, it will be much easier to handle
$my_array = array(
array('Business Name' => 'It Company'),
array('Address' => 'My address')
);
Looking at the content of your array, I will restructure it as
$my_improved_array = array(
'BusinessName' => 'It Company',
'Address' => 'My Address',
);
This is how you can access,
echo $my_array[0]['BusinessName'] //prints 'It Company'
echo $my_array[1]['Address'] //prints 'My Address'
echo $my_improved_array['BusinessName'] // prints 'It Company'

PHP Array example
$array = array();
$array['BusinessName'] = 'ITCompany';
$array['Address'] = '29 xxxxxx,Canada';
And so on... Now you can echo values with
echo $array['BusinessName'];
Also this works
$array = array('BusinessName' => 'ITCompany', 'Address' => '29 xxxxxx,Canada');

While creating that array build it with index as BusinessName
array (
0 => array(
'BusinessName'=> "ITCompany"
)
1 => array(1) (
'Address'=> "29 xxxxxx,Canada"
)
)
etc..

Try like this and save array as key value pairs and then access the key:
foreach($arrayOfValues as $a)
$arr[$a[0]] = $a[1];
echo $arr['BusinessName'];
