Complex multi dimensional array solution

[kostakondras]

Hi guys,

 

I'm using the API for Remember the Milk through a PHP class that I found online called PHP-RTM. Anyway after so much headaches (the authentication for the Remember the Milk API is one of the hardest I've ever come across) I've finally connected everything and gotten to the stage that I have some raw data inside an array. The next step is to work with that data.

 

Basically I want to access the names of the task in a complex multi demensional array and I have no idea how to do this. I have done a var_dump of the array I am working with to show you the complexity. Just remember that in the complex var_dump below there are only 4 tasks:

 

array(2) { ["stat"]=> string(2) "ok" ["tasks"]=> array(2) { ["rev"]=> string(31) "nxeir6vy9pcgcggoss4wwwooc8cwo8w" ["list"]=> array(3) { [/tt]

• => array(2) { ["id"]=> string( "13927305" ["taskseries"]=> array(2) {
• [tt]=> array(11) { ["id"]=> string(9) "104056511" ["created"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T12:48:48Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T12:48:48Z" ["name"]=> string(42) "Send confirmation email to luxury car hire" ["source"]=> string(13) "iphone-native" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(0) { } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156815180" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T12:48:48Z" ["completed"]=> string(0) "" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } [1]=> array(11) { ["id"]=> string(9) "104148150" ["created"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T01:25:57Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T01:26:17Z" ["name"]=> string(40) "Confirm that post has been sent with DVD" ["source"]=> string(2) "js" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(0) { } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156951316" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T01:25:57Z" ["completed"]=> string(0) "" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } } } [1]=> array(2) { ["id"]=> string( "13925842" ["taskseries"]=> array(12) { ["id"]=> string( "98105089" ["created"]=> string(20) "2010-12-19T11:25:25Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:01:42Z" ["name"]=> string(25) "Read for one hour per day" ["source"]=> string(13) "iphone-native" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["rrule"]=> array(2) { ["every"]=> string(1) "1" ["$t"]=> string(21) "INTERVAL=1;FREQ=DAILY" } ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(0) { } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156576423" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-01T13:01:45Z" ["completed"]=> string(0) "" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } } [2]=> array(2) { ["id"]=> string( "17007566" ["taskseries"]=> array(11) { ["id"]=> string(9) "104017503" ["created"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T05:45:04Z" ["modified"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T02:29:55Z" ["name"]=> string(96) "Hook up watermark for both videos (check email) and send to Rachelle and Steve at compare quotes" ["source"]=> string(2) "js" ["url"]=> string(0) "" ["location_id"]=> string(0) "" ["tags"]=> array(0) { } ["participants"]=> array(1) { ["contact"]=> array(3) { ["id"]=> string(7) "2150286" ["fullname"]=> string(10) "Samuel Nam" ["username"]=> string(10) "samuel.nam" } } ["notes"]=> array(0) { } ["task"]=> array(9) { ["id"]=> string(9) "156754354" ["due"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T13:00:00Z" ["has_due_time"]=> string(1) "0" ["added"]=> string(20) "2011-02-02T05:45:04Z" ["completed"]=> string(20) "2011-02-03T02:32:00Z" ["deleted"]=> string(0) "" ["priority"]=> string(1) "N" ["postponed"]=> string(1) "0" ["estimate"]=> string(0) "" } } } } } }
   
   
  Anyone know the code i can use to simply get the "name" keys from the complex array below.

How about you (you=who? hmm) edit that output and put [ code ] tags around it?

[Pikachu2000]

Code tags aren't going to matter for the format, but if the OP can print_r() the array in between <pre></pre> tags and repost it, that would make a huge difference.

 

echo '<pre>';
print_r( $array );
echo '</pre>;
